A reporter did take a lot of pics I thought he was from the local paper though. Thanks Gilbert for posting your pics it’s always interesting to see what others see as a picture. Thanks Steve.

sf315 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 A year on and Lymebrook Yard has been in store covered over I’ve been playing with Tanners Hill and my O Gauge. I’ve been working on updating wagons and making a spoil train from N gauge society opens. A lot of spoil wagons in the 70sand early 80s were wooden 5 plank wagons or 13 ton Steel opens. The society makes nice kits that can be used for these and transfers are available or come with the kit for engineers branding. To my surprise the layout is featured in the latest edition of Traction magazine although I didn’t know anything about it until a friend told me last week and that he’d seen it on the magazine thread here on Rm web. Thanks and hopefully see you soon. Steve. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf315 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 I’ve got the layout covers off and it’s going to be set up and run as fingers crossed hopefully there’s two show possible invites for Lymebrook Yard towards the end of the year. Hoping the shows take place. Giving the layout a good dust and hoover off and a good clean of the track, attend to any scenery jobs and Have a run and a shunt especially the new stock that has been built 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted August 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2021 Great to see photos of this layout again. Brings back memories of seeing BR coal trains on the truncated Newcastle branch (where it passed under Liverpool Road) from the school bus to Wolstanton Grammar in the mid 1970s.

Cheers Darius Yes know what you mean I attended Newcastle college and could sit in lessons and watch the train come down the branch watch the locomotive or locomotives (as double headed 25’s were often used) run round and watch it go off up to Holditch colliery. Wolstanton Grammar school which became Marshlands were the enemy as I went to Bradwell. Thanks Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Wolstanton Grammar for two years from ‘76 to ‘78, the second of which it became the Marshlands High School, with a new headmistress who was so caked up with makeup that her nickname was “Max Factor”.

Cheers Darius I should of gone to Marshlands as it became in 1977 but my brother went to Bradwell so I wanted to go there as well. One of the woodwork teachers at Bradwell was a model railway enthusiast and tried to get a school model railway club going but it came to nothing. I still see him at shows and still call him Mr Knight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf315 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) I’ve been getting the layout sorted ready for Barrow in Furness show October 9th/ 10th. I’ll be running some of the new rolling stock which is mainly wagons I’ve built/ bought over the last 18 months these include Revolution PCV cement tanks, all of these have been weathered and are a superb model. N gauge society 4 wheel open wagon kits (ex LMS LNER GWR). These were passed down to the engineers department and were mainly used for spoil. Some have been sheeted over and have been made into china clay wagons representing the type that were used in the clayliner trains to the Potteries. Other stock again N gauge society kit builds are D bolster steel carriers and the Tunny engineers wagon. Hopefully see some of you there. Thanks. Steve.

sf315 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 First show of 2024 and Lymebrook Yard will be off up the M6 to Kendal in a fortnights time. I’ve been giving it a clean and have removed the scenery as it unbolts. The pics show the hidden parts and the train storage which is under the blocks of flats for those familiar with the layout. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
