woodenhead Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Charlotte Road - the Beeching years. "Shortly after the last trains ran the civil engineers moved in and removed all the S&T. Sadly, bad weather had stopped the final day specials from running and with the S&T gone there was to be no reprieve for this line, it truly was the end. Luckily, a budding preservationist bought up the trackbed, but devoid of connections at either end and any signalling it was going to be some time before trains would run again through Charlotte Road" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelmaker87 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thinking about it, I must come across like a circling vulture at the moment! I'd be interested in both of the plain 3 aspects, should they become available. Pugsley, No you don't at all, P. I'm pleased you want to own one or more of my models. F.Y.I all the colour light signals will be removed from the layout including the large gantry and signal box. These models will be available for sale toward the end of January 2011. I'm assuming to the highest bidder but I'll have no control over that when they are offered for sale. The new owner plans to return Charlotte Road into a large 'U' and run it circa 1929. We still have my original signal box and the semaphore signals bar one, which was used and still sits in decrepitude on the disused line crossing the main.

Pugsley Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well, I'd like to ensure at least a couple of things on the next layout are built to a high standard Seriously though, it'd be an honour to have them on the layout. Fingers crossed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted December 18, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2010 All signal and track circuit cabling and control modules have been recovered, the mains power loop has also been recovered, just the physical signals and signal box left.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted December 18, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2010 All straight post signals recovered and in a curry tub (undamaged) and the ground signals have been recovered but with some collateral damage, but we wouldn't use them again anyway. Signal box and gantry need some special tools to get them out without damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
