spackz Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Has anyone got some good steam era pictures of Wakefield kirkgate station signal box and buildings including the Subway area and at the other end the goods area. Any pics/links will be greatly received. There are plenty of modern pictures and from the he 80s on Flickr so I have a good idea. Just want to get the under canopy details right. The reason: Im currently planning to build a station based on Wakefield and would like to be as accurate as possible with the buildings.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2018 It might be an idea to contact Wakefield Railway Modellers Society, one of their members has done a book about Wakefield's Railways and knows a lot of the local photogrpahers and may be able to help you. Their website is www.wakefieldrms.org and there is a contact form. It's their 60th exhibition this month and it would be worth your while going along and chatting to members.

SGJ Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Normanton and Pontefract railway modelers might be able to help, they had made a layout called Ramsfield that was based on Kirkgate in the 80`s / 90`s https://nprms.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/Normanton-and-Pontefract-RMS-201805369942268/photos/?tab=album&album_id=533094750146660 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
