BrushType4 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Hi, this will be a slow burn but I'm building a long term project of Kings Cross Loco in 7mm scale to S7 track standards. My era is 1960's to early 70's, so steam transition to Blue Diesels. I would gratefully appreciate any pictures and particularly plans of the area to help me. With the info I have collected over the last few years, I have a my track plan. The red lines indicate the baseboards. I may tweak these later, but they seem to work just now. The Fiddle yard, is where the Gasworks Tunnel would be on the Prototype. If you have a big printer, a PDF copy of the plan.

RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted April 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2018 I don't have lots on KX but I can recommend the excellent Irwell press book. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Awesome - one to watch!! Hope it becomes a total Deltic-fest!! The old parcels depot further along always looked an interesting prototype to model, especially with the single slip as part of the formation in front of the platforms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
