RMweb Gold Regularity Posted July 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2021 Question, from pedantry due to boredom, but is that a goods yard, or a p.w. depot? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has certainly handled revenue-earning traffic in recent (ish) years, including waste from shotblasting at Falmouth Docks. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is of course part of the former goods yard, and and as happened across the network the various engineering departments tended to move in once revenue earning freight moved out. In the Speedlink era beer was loaded at Truro, was it loaded here, or in the UKF/Shellstar depot which is out of shot away to the left? cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also the fictional location for the nearest town in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so who knows what that railway man is about to do… …it’s just a step to your left… Inspector Frost worked for Denton police.

montyburns56 Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 It seems like this would be quite a nice station to model if you like freight and DMUs. It reminds me a bit of a Welsh version of Aylesbury.

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted August 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2021 It’s not very small, not particularly quaint and not a goods yard, but it is 70s and 80s. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of its use/purpose, it’s not a small, quaint goods yard but a big building behind the station, the station and the DMU stabling being the core focus of the picture. As a fan of the Rhymney Railway, and someone who grew up in the 70s, I really like and appreciate the picture, but the reason I subscribe to this thread is explained in its subject title - plenty of other threads for DMUs, large yards, etc elsewhere on the forum, and if not, they could be created.
