St. Simon Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi All, Does anyone have any details / drawings of the more modern third rail substations on the network? I'm thinking more of the Seimens types that are a stainless steel building that have been installed in the last 20 years or so. I'm looking at building (well, probably 3D Printing) one for my layout, so I need some good photos with some basic dimensions. Regards, Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2021 Lyddrail and Nearholmer might well be the qualified people to ask, and there are no doubt others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium iands Posted June 3, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think I still have some drawings of the substations we used on East London Line. I'll have a trawl through my files and see what I can find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I don't have any suitable drawings, but will put out the feelers. South Hampshire area, yes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, around Fareham / Southampton / Portsmouth areas, I know there's a modern one at St. Denys. I know there's an older style sub station at Fareham, but I haven't the space for that, and I like the look of the newer stainless steel ones.

Lyddrail Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Simon, I have photos and some plans and measurements of substations and some modules, but only in Kent. I will check to be sure. Modules I modelled were from Potters Corner (outside of Ashford) turning a TPH into a substation done widely for Eurostars and Networkers around the county. Cheers. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Those T connected TPH upgrade substations are a fairly uniquely Kentish thing. Pre-2000 every project had its own design, which can be quite distinctive - though probably only to electrification spotters... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big Siemens building at the Down end is only part of the substation. The rest of the substation is at the Up end by the Up Main. A more typical stainless one would be at Oakley (where Trenchards Lane passes under the main line) or Brockenhurst (in the water works). The South Hants (as at Fareham) area about as small as they come, and I think the transformers are indoor, so much easier to model than an outdoor one...

Pylon King Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Took a photo featuring the sub at Basingstoke which is situated between the mainline and National Grid substation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
