Corrour Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi added this to a 'poll' topic in error. For those interested in the Strathmore Line. I'll see what other diagrams I can add when I've time C GLAMIS-1947-Model-1-rot.pdf 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulzer27jd Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks C, this line desperately needs any help it can get. Its a real forgotten gem. Much earlier than your diagram there was another siding beyond the headshunt. I suspect it was for livestock as the area around it was referred to as Market Muir. In total there were 7 sidings at that time. By 1902 it was removed. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Torper Posted February 11, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2015 Signal box diagrams for the line between Alyth Jct and Kinnaber Jct are usually available at a very reasonable price (I think I paid about £3) from www.studio433.co.uk. These are hand-drawn diagrams produced over the last forty-plus years by John Hinson. Where possible, they reflect the proportions and curvature of each location but like all signal box diagrams they are not scale maps. Most have been sourced from original documents. Unfortunately studi433's site is currently down for maintenance. DT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrour Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi Sulzer27JD, Just to say I have decided to start drawing up track and signalling diagrams on CAD for the Strathmore line - track and signalling layouts (M1's) - as opposed to the 2 SBD's (M5's) I've posted. I won't be posting on Forum, but as you expressed appreciation for the other two I'm happy to send you copies when complete. If you'd like to receive them drop me a PM with your email address regards, R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted February 13, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2015 Those diagrams are great. The use of colour really helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrour Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks JohnR, Will let you know when I've more drawn up :-) regards, R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrour Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi JohnR, Just a quick update to say as you liked the diagrams I posted I'll send you a bigger selection if you send me a PE with your email address. I'm hoping to finish my 'Strathmore Project' in about a month. I have now created nearly 70 drawings and I can send you a selection. Luckily for many of the SB's on the Strathmore Line I have information to show the layout at various dates. My interest has also wandered off the main line so to speak, and so I've done drawings for the likes of Elliot Jcn and Blairgowrie also. kind regards, Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrour Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Gents, Most diagrams complete, and one attached for interest. Sulzer27 & John.D, will email you a number of the bigger examples, like Brechin & Forfar. kind regards, Robert The-Strathmore Line -M1-Eassie-1932-Ver.2-Rev.1-rot.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulzer27jd Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks Robert. This is my local station, or would have been. The area around the yard siding has recently been cleared and has exposed the loading bank. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have walked many times along the old track bed between Eassie and Glamis, I have always wondered the history of the line, thanks for the insight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted November 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks Robert. I still think the Strathmore line (and branches) are a forgotten gem. Whatever happened to the idea of it having its own section on the forum? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks Robert. I still think the Strathmore line (and branches) are a forgotten gem. Whatever happened to the idea of it having its own section on the forum? I did moot it as a counterpart to the Waverley Route section, but I wouldn't pretend to have nearly as much knowledge on the subject as others on here. Partly it comes down to the level of information freely available and accessible in the public domain. The same should be said, in my view, of The Perth Direct and Port Road.

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted November 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2015 I think one of the advantages of RmWeb is that pooling of resources and knowledge. I'm sure none of us will claim to be experts on all aspects of any route, but by sharing our information (such as these excellent signalbox diagrams) we can all gain.

MrB Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi John, Glad you liked it! In which case here's another :-) kind regards, Robert Hello Robert, all, I know this maybe a bit off topic but it does relate to Kinnaber and Strathmore route..... Does anyone have or know of the Gradient Profiles for the Kinnaber Junction as was? Regards & thanks Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotcent Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The Caledonian Railway Association has a number of gradient diagrams in its archive, including the one referred to under reference CRA3/7/2/37. But you'll need to visit the archive in Glasgow. A referral to the archivist (see the website) would be helpful. Allan F Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrour Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi Roy, Just picked up your post. I have done a track and signalling diagrams for 1917, 1959 and 1981(as opposed to signal box diagram posted earlier) for Kinnaber, which include gradient detail from official BR dwg. Send me a PE letting me know which you'd like with your email. regards, Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulzer27 & John.D, will email you a number of the bigger examples, like Brechin & Forfar. kind regards, Robert Hi Robert, The Strathmore line is a a major interest of mine with a specific fascination for the people that worked on the line, especially signalling and the subsequent alterations leading up to the closure in 67 and 82. Here is link to my Flickr album for Forfar Road LC etc. I never knew about the GF which I presume was slotted with No11 and operated the distant beneath no12? https://www.flickr.com/photos/88182025@N08/albums/72157686717449745 Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted March 21, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2018 Signal box diagrams for the Perth - Alyth Jct and Alyth Jct - Kannaber Jct sections (and some other areas) are now available for download extremely cheaply from https://433shop.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=52 .
