'CHARD Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Disused railway viaduct? I know it can be a cliche, but done well.... Then the tail end of a couple of sidings with some choice 'redundant' CCE tin left there in the weeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 Central Sheffield of the period probably wouldn't have many supporters of either team in town, very area specific is the football. Mike. Wot if Wednesday was playing United, one or the other would have to venture out of their normal turf. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 Did a bit of running of trains last night, mainly DMUs and nothing fell off, unless I was involved in not changing the right point or flicking the right switch. The only loco hauled set I ran, jumped off on the bridge crossover going straight, same coach a couple of times. It had not been a problem before. It still has its original Bachy plastic wheels, so it is in line to have them replaced. I couldn't bu88ered with that last night but I did need to oil up the loco pulling the train.A Bachy late body class 25. It had four screws holding the body on, it now has only three and how do you get to the motor without taking the whole fing apart? Oh I turned the coach around as Jimwal always suggest as the first action and it didn't fall off. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 81C Posted January 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) How about a canal ? Or a footbridge with a few thousand Sheffield Wednesday or United supporters heading to a match ? Have they ever had that many.

Satan's Goldfish Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just thinking out loud; being Sheffield, I wonder if you could have an industry of some sort spanning 1 of the lines (pipe work?) and some of the associated building/chimneys, etc, in the triangle? And a single road bridge crossing the other line. Still leaves a reason to have a couple of sidings there too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hmm, viaduct over a triangle? This one shows a train on one leg of a former GC triangle in the Sheffield area, with a road viaduct going over: Don't know what the ceiling height is like in your railway room.

Andrew P Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Been out of it for a couple of days, but I still think a Hornby / Metcale style Viaduct for Road Traffic, with the ends of some overgrown Goods sidings sticking out below will look the most realistic and natural. Good luck with what you decide young Clive. BTW Thanks for the phone call this morning, really appreciated mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 OK I am confused with why Wednesday? So I goggled it and came up with this, which I am sure Mike will say is wrong. The origins of Sheffield Wednesday go back to its earliest history as a cricket club; the club took the name Wednesday for the simple reason that it was the day when they played their matches. When I was in the army, Wednesday was sports day. I use to bowl for our unit's ten pin bowling team, we were useless but we had a reason for forming the team ........the bowling alley bar stayed open longer in the afternoons than the other bars in Tidworth. By the time we lost and the bar closed, we would make our way back to our barracks and arrive just as the Spanner club ( our own bar) opened for those team members of our workshops sports teams.......Thursday was not a productive day. Now I have been thinking what if I used Stu's aqueduct thingy but not for water. Top deck the 1500V Dc line, next level United supporters walking from right to left and the lower deck for Wednesday supporters going from left to right in a fleet of those nice cream buses? :locomotive: :locomotive: 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ok nothing to do with the layout, Sheffield , United , Wednesday or Transport ( nice cream buses) or railways. I took my car off the road last year, so rang up the insurance company which I won't name. Today I got an e-mail form them saying how sad to see me go etc etc, would I be kind enough to fill in their survey. I started to and on the first page was the reasons, including I don't have a car any more. I clicked continue and the next few pages were about how did I find the staff etc, then the questions directly related to why did I swap insurers.......no I never but that wasn't an option. I replied to their e-mail saying there survey wasn't very good, I was very polite and even left out anything to do that 'king annoying nodding dog in their adverts, just to get a reply my e-mail has landed somewhere no blighter looks at. Life, what a mess others make of mine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 OK Gang I have set up the good shed again and this time made a better mock bridge for the L&YR line. I still like it. I am going to leave it alone for a few weeks and see how I feel then. Photos , maybe tommora. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
