mdvle Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The canopies may seem to disappear, but their absence would really have been noticeable, so well worth the effort you put into them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2020 2 hours ago, Tortuga said: Wow! Leeds City South trainshed was massive! Only ever experienced Leeds from the 80s onward and mostly from the eastern (York) end. Was it really white or was that glazing in reality? What was the reason behind the change from a longitudinal trainshed to the apexes at the end - a later addition? Really brings home the scale of these structures. The station was extended in the 1890s, the then architect, William Bell did his own thing, obviously didn't rate Prosser's original roof. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Bachmann model converted to EM gauge using Gibson wheels. The decoder, stayalive and speaker are in the tender. Tim Easter also rewired the motor connections and has fitted a plug and socket to give electrical continuity between loco and tender, giving 12 wheels picking up power from the track. He also did the weathering job. 43039 won the competition for the best converted proprietary loco at the EMGS AGM a year ago. It runs beautifully. 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheLaird Posted December 10, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2020 On the opposite side of the station from 43039, the Pilot 46498 is busy in the south carriage sidings sorting vans to form 3L09 Bradford Parcels. 15 PU's are required for this service and once sorted they will be shunted to P2 for loading. It is still very early in the morning, around 0500, the parcels are due out at 0641. 42 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Holt Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yes, the south train shed really does set the Midland side in perspective and transforms the appearance of the station. I hadn't appreciated just how much higher the south side lines are than the carriage sidings. Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, on the model the south side lines are a bit higher than they should be so as to clear the servo's. Please bear in mind this is a "looks like" Leeds rather than an exact scale replica, I wouldn't want to mislead people. Regards John E. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted December 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2020 John I watched your Bradfield videos with great enthusiasm and hope to do so with Leeds in due course. Will you be videoing the Parcel' coaches being loaded? Joking aside this has all the signs of beating Bradfield in the excellence department ((which I thought would never happen). 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
