Information/photos sought of area around the standard gauge locomotive shed at Ridham Dock

Yes, I'd already spotted that. It's part of the attraction as a potential mini-layout inspiration. If only I could get some decent images/diagrams of that giant sluice gate thing!

Information/photos sought of area around the standard gauge locomotive shed at Ridham Dock

Martin Kelly posted a topic in UK Prototype Questions

Hi there! Inspired by this photograph of an ex-SECR/BR P class locomotive outside the small shed at Ridham Dock: I'm looking for other pictures or information about this building and its immediate environs, track layout etc during the late 1950s/early 1960s. I'd also be interested in information about freight traffic and wagon types seen at this location. Thank you in advance for any clues!

Hornby - New tooling - Ruston 48DS 0-4-0

I'm also late to the party on this one and interested in conversion to P4. brightspark - what axles did you use for your conversion? Was Alan Gibson able to supply suitable stub axles with the Lowmac wheels? I know yours is EM but maybe they can do the equivalent for P4. Also, did you attempt to drill out the four stress holes in the wheel disks like the real Rustons have?
