Mark Saunders Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The next chance to improve York will be when the current IECC is transfered to the ROC! The extension of Tyneside IECC to Sunderland was again done on the cheap as I would have expected full Bi-Di signalling but not even Simbids was provided!

RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 13, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2018 Removing the Scarborough curve was only a loss to the Tampers and NRM for the turning of machines and locomotives! The biggest disaster was making Scarborough corner over the river a single lead junction along with the more recently corrected approach from the Leeds Lines which meant that a train could not arrive or depart at the same time. The relaying of the crossovers from the Normanton lines to the Leeds lines at Church Fenton raised the speed from 25mph to 70mph meaning Leeds bound trains could leave on the Main without loosing time on the speed restricted crossovers! The renewal at Church Fenton North was quite a few years ago, 2010 I recall. Reinstating the four road into York Station to allow parallel moves from Platforms 9-11 was also in planning for a long time before it was delivered. The Scarborough Goods aligned could have been used to form a platform 13. This would allow Harrogate trains to run via the avoiding lines to access the Harrogate branch, and thus free up capacity on ECML by no longer using the ladder junction, which I believe was considered. York IECC transfers to York ROC this X-mas I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Hi lewis thanks for popping in, I've got 36 already weathered just another 24 left to have done to make 3 rakes of 20, the ones I've already had weathered are just suitable filthy so you can't see the wagon numbers a bit of a cop out but it looks good to me just got the working tail lamps to get done after that then I'll be able to take a short break from the mgrs and focus on building a rake of something different david u Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hello again from Britain’s most indecisive modeller. I went back to looking at my first muse Healey mills i spent a fair few years of my childhood sat on the embankment. I was was at a loose end and I did this mock up and with a bit more space I think I could make a reasonable representation. Of of course the usual caveat applies here as I haven’t won the lottery so won’t be moving into a mansion with a huge garage anytime soon so here goes senic area 18 to 24ft by 4ft wide the boards in the picture are 3 ft wide so that extra foot would mean I could put an embankment at the back then the single running line nearest the embankment then 6 reception roads and to avoiding( fuel lines)? at the rear then the shed at the front the footbridge to the office would be the senic break at one end then the embankment and tree line would provide the break the the opposite end any feedback on my ramblings would be appreciated david 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
