Broadoak Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Great Northern EMD GP 30 pushing a covered hopper to the Farmer’s Coop Elevator at Benson east yard. These 2250 HP road switchers had a distinctive appearance with a raised hood top that tapered down to just in front of the radiator grilles. They were slightly shorter than a GP7, so on a model a useful locomotive to have if space was tight. Photo Peter M Peter M 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadoak Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Rock Island SW1500 #947 wearing a coat of bankruptcy blue heads out of Benson with a train of Rock Island covered hoppers. In reality #947 was a slug mother, she was coupled to an engineless chassis that just had traction motors for the trucks. This gave extra pulling power in the yards without the cost of a bigger switcher. Photo Peter M Peter M 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Chris Chewter Posted April 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 Now an arts and community centre, if you travelled back in time over 60 years, the inside of the goods shed at Tetbury might have looked like this. Perhaps the man sweeping is wondering what the other guys are chatting about outside in the yard? To be honest, when I look at the image, I keep on seeing things that need to be tidied up, but it seems to have gone down well on my build thread so thought I'd post it here for others to enjoy. 38 6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Mr Makkem's pigeon cree on Hawthorn Dene. There was a man in the Easington area who bought an old railway van body, turned it into a pigeon cree (loft for you savverners) and painted it in Sunderland FC colours. It just had to be modelled on an Easington-based layout. There are leeks in the dug area to the left. One is just visible above the last red post of the front railings. Almost impossible to see but you know they are there if you put your finger on them- single strands of fine wire painted green and planted.

Broadoak Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Hi Rob, thanks for your kind comments. The layout was set in south west Arkansas, in an are where bauxite ore was mined. The other major industry was pulpwood used for making paper or board. The tunnel hid the ore car loading and fiddle yard. The ore loads were actually crushed iron ore found in my garden. This was glued onto a plasticard base and loaded through the back of the ore loading facility into the empty cars using a specially made tool. Kind regards Peter M Edited April 10, 2021 by Broadoak 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is then seen working at the other end of the yard spotting the cars she brought in earlier at the various industries there.
