NorthBrit Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi 6990WitherslackHall. I have had the 'Rocket' 18 months, so no it is not the new one. I received it from a member of the family who gets railway related items for me for Christmas. Never to look a gift horse etc. it runs well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBrit Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 I have started to build a small goods yard at Clarence Dock to increase the variety of wagons etc. and have more trains running. Small loading/unloading docks big enough for one or two wagons. In the way things are sorting trucks to the correct dock, it is a form of Inglenook Sidings. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Class 47s 474483 on a diverted Plymouth to Leeds Central train 47401 North Eastern at The Calls Junction 47583 County of Hertfordshire about to pass Marston's Yard entrance 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 A Dewsbury Market Place to Leeds Central DMU at Crown Point Junction. Ash Farm Fields and lake behind. Dewsbury Market Place Station actually closed to passenger trains in 1930 and goods trains in 1961. Yet one could board a 'Special Train' there in the 1950s (and did). The station was one of my favourites albeit it had a run-down atmosphere. Maybe that was why i liked it. I do dislike 'prim and proper'. On the layout Dewsbury Market Place Station remained open. The same train at Sovereign Street Station 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 The diesel layout is a secondary route and has its own timetable of mainly DMUs and local trains running. Then when there is any engineering work on the main line there are diverted trains running on the layout. Here is some pictures of one such diverted train. A diverted Up Thames-Forth Express with Class 45 45048 The Manchester Regiment in charge. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 At the level crossing outside the Coach and Horses. A BRS driver is asking for directions. Class 121 on the evening Seacroft to Leeds Central service about to arrive at Roseville Station. Class 47 47583 County of Hertfordshire on a diverted Newcastle to Liverpool service. Some branches off the trees smack the side of the coaches as the train passes. (A reminder of my train journeys north of Ladybank.) Not everything is perfect. Nature in control. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I borrowed locomotive 46225 Duchess of Gloucester for a couple of days. Here she is on a Up Thames Clyde service. It took me back 'a few years' when I used to travel on the Thames- Clyde. I am 'smitten'. I must get a couple of LMS engines. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBrit Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I purchased some pictures of Leeds Warehouses as I remember them. They now form the backscene at Sovereign Street. The idea to give an enclosed, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
