SouthPelaw2017-014-Sm.jpg P Nice shot Porcy. S Pelaw colliery has developed a mountainous slag heap - I didn't know photoshop had a 'pit heap' tool. People unfamiliar with the location would be surprised to know that we've added to the forest of semaphores seen in the picture since it was taken and we've got more of the beggers to add. When we've finished we'll have to warn Andrew at MSE because his takings are going to take a dip. Anyway, must go - I've got a NER rotating ground disc to build!

43129@stainmore Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 HI Paul Personally I've not seen this shot before. I think all of the ground signals we need are now completed, in fact we may be mounting some of these in position tomorrow. Thanks for posting it.

RichardClayton Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 At long last we are getting the layout ready for its first exhibition, which will be at RAILEX NE on 28 and 29 July (http://www.railexne.com), followed by an appearance at the Newcastle exhibition in November. Today the last of the main signals was installed and persuaded to work. The eagle eyed will also spot the gradual encroachment of point rodding, which is being added along with lots of other small details.

Grosmont Jnc Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Martin has updated our blog with a post on signals and signalling, working signals being a major feature of the layout as South Pelaw and Stella Gill had a veritable forest of the things. See our blog here. Here's a picture of one of the last signals under construction (South Pelaw no. 15, Up Main starter towards Consett, with Pelton's Up Distant slotted with it on the same (slotted!) post.

johndon Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) A couple of short videos of South Pelaw Junction, apologies for the talking over the first one.

RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted July 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Come along to RailexNE this weekend to see it in action.“This weekend” as in 28/29th? !!!The AB hoppers bring back memories, although it was 2x class 24 by the time I knew it. All along the back of Gateshead shed there were bits of orange ore dropped from passing trains and also some smaller purple bits. Had you thought about replicating that, or was it only in diesel days that the leakage was apparent? Liked the videos. Paul.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted July 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2018 May have to persuade the wife that we need to visit her family (less than a mile from the location of the layout) in November, so that I can go to the Newcastle exhibition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Really looking forward to seeing the railway and you guys of course. I had to miss the 'running day at the office' a while back unfortunately. It'll probably be a day trip of the Scottish Region Study Group but don't let that put you off, we've all got accents. Dave Franks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
