Was this from the signal box there? What's next? A layout based around the Northampton-Harborough line? Looking forwards to seeing this layout progress. I'm currently reading the Middleton Press book on Towcester and the S&MJR routes which has some real inspiration for modelling of small wayside stations in the area. Today whilst driving to Stowe coming down the A43 actually caught a glimpse of the old track bed before the lay-by. Look forwards to the next installment.

Nobby (John) Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Cheers Mark, the Brixworth sign is from George Woodcocks model of the station. So I suppose there is a model of he Northampton - Market Harborough line. ( Brixworth has been featured in Railway Modeller ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi John After hurting my neck trying to tilt my head sideways SWMBO turned the screen 90 degrees. Looking Good. The layout not SWMBO ( she does really after losing 6 stone, but don't let her know I said so). Clive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hello Brixworth Station will be appearing at Northampton Show on March 9th this year. Similar in theory to Towcester as they are both 'what might have been' layouts. Brixworth circa 1998 while Towcester is set in 1997/8. The track plan on both is different to reality espea=cially Towcester closed in 1964 and Brixworth in 1980. They are both meant to be atribute to the real places. Another walk down that famous memory lane. I won't say a word Clive as long as you rejoin DEMU. Glad you think us old codgers have a bit of promise, remember we are only entry level modellers so be gentle. Cheers George 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Brixworth pate being eaten I take it? The Northampton-Harborough line also looks to have potential for modelling but like the Towcester/S&MJR I guess traffic wasn't that busy. Saying that the Harborough line would still be of benefit today I guess if still open. The Northampton Show was very good last year.

George Woodcock Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hello A short up-date on deveopments so far. The platforms are built as is the Lucas bridge over the A5 albeit with just 2 little bits to add when I get another delivery of ~Evergreen strip. also the A5 road itself and the sloping part of the old Tiffield road are in place. The footbridge is also complete and the catchpoint have been installed. John is working on the station building and I should be moving onto the bridge over the Olney branch. Hopefully photos,(right way up), to follow. Hope to make a start on the wiring next weekend. Cheers George. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
