With investigations ongoing re choice of livery for Bachmann Class 90 number three and the catenary plans now moving forward now that not only one but two soldering experts at my disposal, a plan has been instigated to see three gantries tailormade for Johnson Street IEMD. The access on to the depot comes from a tunnel whereby an electrified line comes into a three way point, the first multi-track gantry sits across this - diverting the wires into, left to right, left - firstly into the main electric depot, secondly the first of two holding sidings which sit next to the depot and thirdly a head shunt track, allowing for access on to holding siding number two (electrified) and the head shunt, backwards, into the diesel refuelling point and long term maintenance shed (this area isnt electrified)...

Gantry one - across the three way point

Gantry two - the main gantry - proposed to cover four tracks - and over the fifth as an extended arm

Gantry three - the holding pen sidings gantry

The second gantry is, obviously the widest of the three, sitting across the three tracks which go into the electric shed (to the right) and the two on the left head on into the holding sidings. The third gantry is the last gantry in the holding pen before the terminating gantry.

There will still be a gantry outside the electric shed and to the rear of this also... as well as single mast gantries over the single track holding pen outside Lane three.

The multi-track masts are being built using the NBrass forms but the droppers are scratch built as illustrated..
