Thanks, but that just opens a general YouTube browser in the small window and looses the link to the video I wanted to watch. It seems to work on my phone, maybe it is down to the version of iOS. But I need to buy a new iPad to get the latest version of iOS 11.3 as my iPad will not support iOS 11, it's too old.

Hi, I am trying to watch the videos via the iPad app but can't get the videos in full screen. I get a message, your browser does not support full screen. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hi Stephen, thanks for the reply. I didn't know about the three extra sidings, where were they? Probably won't be able to include them though as there won't be space. Funny, I grew up in Sutton Coldfield and now live in Middlewich. I will try and find a copy of the book may be an interesting read. If you have any photos of the station that would be very interesting. Thanks Paul.

Hi, First time posting here, so if this is in the wrong section please move to the correct section. I have lived in Middlewich for 20 years and all the time I have lived there, their has been talk of trying to re-open the station. This got me thinking about making a layout of Middlewich station either as it was in the 1960s before the line was close or as it could be in the present day if it had not been closed. I think it would make an interesting layout and something of local interest. However I have not built a proper model railway before just bits of track on a baseboard with some static grass stuck down etc. I currently don't have a lot of space as I have lost the garage to the sons classic mini! The Middlewich line ran from Sandbach to Northwich and consisted of local passenger traffic, and freight traffic to the many chemical industries along the line. The area was important for its salt production. There was also a yard at middlewich for transferring goods to road. By searching the internet I have found some old photos and maps of the area and with the help of the very good Disused Stations web site (thanks to Paul Wright for the info) I have a track plan. See below. The track is still there and until recently was used as a freight only line for the chemical industries. however I think it is now closed to freight traffic as well as passengers. The line has on occasions been used as a diversion route from Crewe to Manchester so there is potential to run all sorts of trains, even pendolinos on drags. In N gauge using PECO settrack it works out at about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide. So the first question is how may base boards and where to cut them? There is a lot of track to cut if you go in the middle and have two 1 meter square boards. I would like something that can be put away and stored and put in a car to transport. To the left of the station there is a road going over the railway and this gives access to the platform via some steps and to the station yard at the back. I envisage using this road bridge as a scenic break so that the trains appear through the road bridge into view. A scenic backdrop would hide the fiddle yard as the land rises at the back of the station. So first few questions, what size baseboards and where to cut them? Or do I need to think about something else before I start cutting wood? Just thought of another question. In N gauge do you need to avoid S curves? I don't anticipate any large locos or coaches in the yard. Thanks Paul Middlewich Station.pdf
