Popular Post henkholland Posted March 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi there Iḿ new on this forum, 67 years old and from the Netherlands. Every year I cycle to yorkshire and went into the beautifull dales and visit friends in Bromton on Swale. So, last year I had plans to build a modelrailway and I decided that It must be Richmond station. Often go to the station to drink a cup of coffee there and look to the beautifull restoration of the building. Last year I made a lot of photos of the station, engineshed and gaswork and also did a lot of massurements to it. In Januari I discover a railway book of mister en Hoole, North Easter Branch Termini, and in that book I found a lot of stuff I needed. I decided to build the station in N gauge and made it all from paper and cardboard, it´s allmost ready now and I started with the goodshed now. When people have pictures of Richmond station and from other places on the Eryholme Richmond Branch Line around WW11,let me know Greetz Henk 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branwell Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 One of my favourite stations. I don't know if you've been already, but the Transport Musuem in Richmond's well worth a vist and they've got a OO model of the station too - http://www.richmondshiremuseum.org.uk/railwaymodel.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henkholland Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hello everybody Thanks for the comments on my topic. I haven´t be at Richmond museum, I would go there last November but than it was closed for the wintertime I hope to go there this spring. My girlfriend of Brompton on Swale did contact the museum for me last November and the man who she did spoke to send me a lot of pictures that was very very nice of him. I will look for the railway book about the Catterick Camp Railway thank you very much for that tip. Thaks Henk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henkholland Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 After my last post about modelling Richmond station in 2015, I moved quite suddenly. But now in a new space I'm again busy with the layout. Enclose a few photos, then I will read if there are any interested people. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkholland Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Update with new pictures of my n gauge layout I build the buildings only from cardboard and paper the trees are made with a frame of metal wire. If someone has information about the signals used on richmond's yard then I will like to hear that. Greetz Henk 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JimFin Posted November 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2019 Lovely work, here is a picture of the model in Richmondshire Museum. Here is a copy of the LNER track plans and you can see the signals on these. Track Plans.pdf The museum is closed to the public during the winter months but there are almost always folk working on maintenance and making new displays during that time. Working groups are usually in on a Tuesday and if you just wanted to see the model and did not mind avoiding wet paint and folk working, you would be welcome on a Tuesday if you made arrangements in advance. E-mail admin@richmondshiremuseum.org.uk and mention that Jim said to contact them. 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkholland Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Thanks Jim I did visit the museum some years ago and have seen the model railway there. The circels are ground signals I think . I have to make a small study of Britishs signaling I think. Is it right that the semaphore signal at the end of the platform are starters aswel the semaphore on the entrance of the goods yard? Henk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JimFin Posted November 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I believe that is correct. Some photos including signals here - http://disused-stations.org.uk/r/richmond/index1.shtml Here is an excuse for an interesting loco visiting!

henkholland Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'm sure she is not a member of your model railway club Last days I'm working on n gauge semaphore signals The prototype is almost ready the lights are working now I have to develop the best way for the movement of it. Best wishes for 2020 for everybody on this forum. Henk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkholland Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi New pictures of my 2 mm Richmond branch model railway. Lot of people have to stay home at this time, so I have enough tie to put some new pictures on RM web. I work on it every day for a couple of hours. This time yoou also see the first semaphore signals in n gauge, home made, working and with lights. The ladders are not yet assembled to the signs because the are to fragile, even the signs are the post is only 2 mm square brass. Hope you enjoy the pictures. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kettlewell Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Hi, Great to see a model of Richmond. I live very near there in Brompton on Swale and did a lot of research just a few months ago with a view to building this in 0 gauge. As it turned out there isn't quite enough space in my shed so I had to abandon the idea - it was a very big area. However, during the research I uncovered a lot of old photos and got some screenshots of the old movie reel - a video compilation of the station in its former glory that they play on screens in 'The Station' as it is now called. I also took my own photos of the area and buildings as they are now, some of which are very well preserved. If you can use any of this material I'll be very happy to let you have it. Good luck with the project. Cheers ... Alan Edited May 17, 2020 by Alan Kettlewell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted May 14, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2020 Very nice indeed, and congratulations on modelling such ornate buildings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkholland Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi Alan When I visit England than I visit Brompton on Swale every time to see a friend who's living there. I have stayed a lot of time in the bunk barn by Chris and Rose. It's a beautifull station in Richmond and I can understand that it is a pity that you have not enough space in your shed to build it. Thanks for the offer to share the material with me but my girlfriend in B-o-S has already arranged a copy of the stationfilm for me in 2015, from the museum in Richmond, further I bought the book North Eastern Branch Termini writen by Ken Hoole. And when you are looking on internet you will find beautifull pictures of the subject BUT NEVER ENOUGH. At the moment I try to build the bracket signal on the platform but that is hard to make it working and with light in it. It is to small for all the details but my idee of modeling is when it is much to small to build leave it away so I will build the bracket signal but only with the uprights and not with all the cross connections in it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kettlewell Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Having a copy of the film footage is great for your project. Nice one. I read this book (link to Amazon below). As the title suggests it's a bit more about the Catterick sub-branch but there is some very interesting info about the whole line from the North Eastern main line through to Richmond and Catterick. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Catterick-Military-Railway-Richmond-Branch/dp/B00470LQEI Worth a read if you can get hold of it.

henkholland Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi Alan have ooked at your contributions on this forum nice work in brass indeed. Many years ago I did the same and build some locos of the dutchs railways. The locomotor we call it goat in Holland. The steam driven one is a 8800 and it comes to Holland after the WW11 and it is still running at Stoom Stichting Nederland in Rotterdam. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
