Here goes another massive distraction! This is a 5” gauge wagon in the making. Cup of coffee for scale. Who can guess what it’s going to be?

D305 No 10282. Good choice, one of my favourite wagons.

Does anyone know when the curve between Derby South Jn and Derby North Jn opened, please?

 

Gough, in his magnificent Midland Chronology, states it opened for passengers on 1st Oct 1846, but was it open earlier to freight? And what passenger traffic would've traversed that line at such an early date, totally avoiding Derby station?

Any ideas?
