Andrew P Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 I am still waiting for you to visit Sheffield Exchange, it needs a tidy up. :sungum: I thought for a minute you wanted me to tidy the WHOLE of Sheffield. I think you just need to open all your windows and lets the wind do the rest. Could you please send Major Tidy-up down to me when he's finished cleaning TOPS up ? (Hahahahaha) my workshop is in a mess... What about your Slaves, Mark and Ian? hahahha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When running the earlier period, / Brown Van's possibly Steam etc, the Sidings will be mainly for Wagon Sidings.

Yes that's the Magician in me coming out again. I really must do the time on the camera. I shouldn't worry quite often I see answering posts where the times on the quotes are after the time of posting. RMWEB seems to be some sort of time warp but if you are modelling pre-group stuff you head is well back a 100 years. Don as I said my post is timed 16:32 neither of the quoted post could have been seen by then.

Andrew P Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Morning all, Thanks for all the time info, it is interesting to see how things are posted, for example the post above says 06.37 when it's 07.37. Moving on, I'm off to see George T of Pit St fame today, do boubt our jaws will get a good working, and also some coffee and cake at Poynton Garden Centre when we visit the superbly stocked model shop there.

Andy you have a model shop in the garden centre we only have a "Hobbycraft shop" in ours, it does have plenty of general stuff, paints glues scenic items etc but only does some 00 gauge kit on the rail front, I'm 7mm. It keeps me occupied while the wife try's to empty the rest of the shop of all its stock. Best 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2018 Erm... what’s that line disappearing off top left of the first picture above? So the layout’s going to expand rather stay just with the boards under the window. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Kynaston Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello Andy, Looks a great start - a friend of mine (whose also on here) said I should pop in and take a look, and to watch how the scenery develops. I've just spent around a hour going through several of your threads. You are a superb modeller, I only wish I had some of your skill! I liked the Glenfiddich layout (being N gauge the same as me), but King's Moreton and this look superb. My friend is into 7mm and the diesels look wonderful. Im lucky to have quite a large space, but wanted to model part of a route rather than a location, hence the decision to go to N. But O gauge really does look good, and you appear to have got a lot into the space for such a large gauge. I have marked to follow your progress! All the best Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best No, the one in Poynton Garden Centre is a PROPER RAILWAY MODEL SHOP, with everything from Bachmann ''N'' to LGB Garden Railway Locos and Stock, and everything in between from Paints to Flocks etc, plus loads of second hand at fairly good prices. Well worth a visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Richard Hi Richard, welcome aboard and thanks for the comments. Glenfinick was done after Trebudoc, and so the jump from O down to N was a bit of a shock to the system. I will do my best to entertain with the Scenic's on here for you. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 A great day out today with George T / Pit Street and Mark./ meowenuk / Holker. I only came home with one new purchase, and that was a Berry Wiggins Tank, so that will get a run out in the next day or so. I was also GIVEN a Low Relief Warehouse for Dore End made by George, so that will go onto a Platform and have some big doors fitted to it's front. Cheers George. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew P Posted September 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Overview of Seven Mills and Dore End. Seven Mills. Seven Mills is a busy Yard, but only 3 of the many Sidings can be seen this side of the Road Bridge. It is used to Store both Wagons and Locos that rest between Duties. The end of one Siding can be seen at the back, where the Yard Shunter normally sits between Duties, although it sometimes does Trip Workings to Dore End Yard. Dore End. So the thinking behind Dore End is that it was once part of a Single through line into Manchester, that was double Tracked through Dore End Station. In the 60's one Line was lifted, but the infrastructure remained to be gradually taken over by Mother Nature. The remaining Platform was used as By Directional for many years until Passenger Services ceased altogether a couple of years ago. The Track remains as a Head Shunt / Run around for the Freight Traffic that still uses Dore End Yard. The Warehouse has regular deliveries from Van Traffic and some are stabled in the General Sidings after Unloading / Loading ready for collection. The Oil Depot is now fairly run down, and it's future is not looking to good. The Engineers Sidings are still fairly active with Vans and Wagons coming and going, and again using the General Sidings for Out Bound Traffic awaiting collection from the Mainline Locos. The Local Shunter has it's own dedicated Siding to sit in between Duties, but also does Trip Workings through to Seven Mills.

andi4x4 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I do like this plan and the story behind it. Looking forward to seeing this develop, Andy ! Starting to think about my own O gauge layout now that I have finally moved house - that will be some time off yet though - far too much decorating to get done, and I need to find which box I packed all my 7mm stuff into !
