Andrew P Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just now, Dragonboy said: We all always need a larger fiddle yard Totally agree, When I had Kings Moreton I had 5 Roads each way plus 3 Bi Directional Roads, and then added another 8 dead end roads to cater for all the freight, Parcels and Passenger Traffic. I'm very limited for width mainly due to the Guitars and using the room to practice in, and length due to the crossover I need and the narrow bit over the Work bench. I will need to re look at that side of The POD. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil was the traffic that came and went and came back. originally it was Petroleum Sector train then it went on Speedlink then it went road borne when Speedlink closed but it returned as a trip of a couple of wagons worked I'm not quite sure who (probably cross-hired traction) then it came back asa regular train in EWS days. When we closed the Speedlink service a question was asked at the consiultation meeting about how the Newlyn trawler fuel would be dealt with? My boss looked at me. (I was WR feight Train Planning Manager at the time) and I looked at him (he was the WR Operations Planning Manager) and I was sent off to make enquiries. I managed to get hold of the rep I knew in the Petroleum sector and he was just as puzzled as the rest of us so he had a look back through some files and found out that it had ceased to pass by rail years earlier. Apparently the staff reps at Penzance hadn't noticed that it had ceased 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 This morning I've made a start on the Bridge over the Estuary, I used 2 Wills Kits, a single Track and a double Track as I needed the extra Railings for the top, and the extra walling for underneath. First I found some Plastruct in my scrap box. I then put a support along the back of the 3 bits of walling and to give it a bit of an angle when fitted. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Next using a couple of bits from the Kit, I shortened the Railings and support and glued into place. And then one side was done. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Repeat for the other side, and so just the walling underneath to do later. NOTE= =In the pics you will see that the back left corner has dropped a bit, that is now rectified. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just sitting here and had a thought. I can pack out the side walls to bring them in under the Girder, so a job for tomorrow before I fit the walls. 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
