This was Deesdale Road before it grew to it's current 22ft. Remember it well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHC Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Blimey Andy....... Planned built sold 5 pages on thread before I even have time to look at the thread! Mind you I have said this before if you have many ideas for layouts just get on and build them then change again and again. I have several plans but just have not yet built one the problem is every time I go online I see another potential project to add to the list. Now are you going to have more space down south than you have at the moment. Keith 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted October 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2019 Well Cadley Hill now in the 'Engine Shed' as one of our friends labelled it. We shall see how it progresses. Andy is right, progress these days is slow. New Mills running the other night was great fun, doubly so, as club sec I get little time to run. Yes I would have liked it but it seems that other aspects were a priority and didn't leave enough. Rothleigh (and Swithmore) track is currently largely 'ripped up' and under everything that 'is not wanted in the house' but two small N-gauge layouts have been built, one in a 4' X 7" box, for granddaughter use. Deesdale Road had a very successful run out in July - so nice when it runs well with just a clean needed after such long storage. Peter 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Hi Keith, Cheers for that, I'm not sure about how much room I'll have as yet, TOPS is 17.5ft x 8.5ft inside, but most places that have Garages seem to be about 15ft x 8ft inside, so until I find the final property I'm not to sure, but it could be a little less than I have at the moment. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryHighland Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Did the real Cadley Hill colliery ever supply coal to Drakelow PS? I just wondered as the power station rail access was also on the Leicester line from BoT. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wondered as the power station rail access was also on the Leicester line from BoT. A very good question. I've only lived up here since Oct 2005, so I'm not sure as everting was closed and gone long before I came up here. As you say, the line from Cadley Hill / Coalville / Leicester had a direct link into Drakelow, so it would have made sense, if it was the correct grade of coal. There were several Open Cast Mines in and around Swadlincote, so my best guess is that some must have been destined to Drakelow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) The New Plan will be very similar to the Loch Leven as that worked well at Shows and Home. I'm not to sure about the Stock just yet, but I think I want to make it to be Era Neutral, so that I can run my 66's etc and maybe some Steam / Green Diesels as well, as originally suggested by young Clive M a few days ago. As a Grassed over Sidings, very little would have changed, and so other than Hi Vis and Vehicles I should be able to make it believable. I'll get some Timber tomorrow and make a start, but I need to work out a final Plan to get the Points and Track etc. WATCH out for a New Thread soon Edited October 31, 2019 by Andrew P add words 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'll be watching with interest, I like the idea multi era layouts. Maybe a few removable signs or vehicles, looking forward to seeing your plan. Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve, I do like my 66 and it's Sound, but I also like some Steam Locos and doing some Shunting about the Yard, we will have to see what happens next. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a close up of part of it, so typical Scotland. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Repeated from a pic on Page 1, The real Cadley Hill Sidings, this is the sort of look I'm after this time, BUT NOT as Coal Mining Sidings, just as General Sidings for various Wagon Types that would be shunted from another Yard the other side of the Road Bridge / Fiddle Yard. Inspiration has also come from seeing Canada Street again at the Hazel Grove Show last weekend. Edited October 29, 2019 by Andrew P 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
