I have been modelling Hereford's railways in N for a number of years. The vicarage loft has provided excellent space to do this. This has resulted in a growing interest in the North West Route through the Welsh Marches. Thus first blog post in this thread relates to some of the websites I have visited while exploring the potential of the area around Hereford for modelling .....

One of the iconic structures which was part of the station at Hereford was the platform signal box.

The footbridge at Hereford Barrscourt Station has recently been completely rebuilt. Until then the skeleton of the old footbridge remained in place but in a much less photogenic condition than the original. The old footbridge bore some similarities to the one at Gloucester.

Update on my Hereford loft layout. Apologies that the picture quality is not as high as it could be.

A railway modelling Reverend? Where have we heard of that before....?

 

Lovely model of Hereford station building, well done.  I know it reasonably well, my Dad lives about 30 minutes away.

I cannot claim the credit for the station building, my father-in-law made this for me as a Christmas present before his untimely death. I'll post his version of the construction story.

The main feature of any layout is usually the railway station. I was delighted when my father-in-law, who had his own O-Gauge layout decided to make the station building for me in N-Gauge. ..... This is the first of a series of posts about the construction of the station building:

That design work in Paint is wonderful.

 

I am in discussions with another RMWebber about what is necessary to convert CorelDraw files to make them suitable for laser-cutting. But this makes me wonder what might be possible in Paint.

Yes, David became very proficient with Paint. I have done a few things, smaller buildings on the station site.

The card models on the layout were constructed from drawings made on 'Paint'. I have just loaded drawings of the Signal Box at the North of the Station and of the Station footbridge onto my blog. The relevant links are:

If they are of any interest, I have tagged my father's photos taken in Hereford with 'railways in Hereford' on my photosharing pages at the ipernity website, as the RMweb galleries seem to have vanished. You should be able to go there straight from here - http://www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/album/1274428

You can see a shot of our vicarage layout here - http://www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/26452663/in/album/512733

Hi Phil

 

Great photo of the layout. Not sure that the other link is the one you intended. It seems to lead to a gallery with loads of different peoples photos in.

 

Best wishes

 

Roger

Hi Roger

 

Assuming the link was the one I get when I click on the link above, the bulk of the photos are by my late father, John Sutters, who grew up in Hereford. The rest are from other enthusiasts who use the ipernity photo-sharing site and who have photos taken in Hereford.

 

Best wishes

 

Phil
