RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2017 Very nice Paul. Will you be using foam underlay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 20, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2017 Very nice Paul. Will you be using foam underlay? Mmm, might go for the set track option too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2017 Mmm, might go for the set track option too. Slightly concerned that you're not using the entire baseboard for track. Plenty of room for an mpd, sidings, parcel depot, dairy, royal mail depot... What are you thinking man?

Chris-GNR Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Also a little concerned about the amount of track. Are you going to have enough space for the vans, the opens, the coals & the milks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2017 Where do the broccoli wagons go ? Or the clay hoods ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 20, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2017 There will be no milk, no broccoli, no clay hoods and certainly no vans (vans weren't used on the branch as they fouled the winding drum at the incline top). There will be opens and coals though. Progressed on to board 3 tonight,the next length of goods shed siding has been laid and the sleepers for the long turnout stuck down, at 17 inches long it wouldn't look out of place on the ECML. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted January 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2017 Interesting. So was this branch accessed via a drum operated incline then or was that a branch off the branch? If the first case, how did the locos get to the end? Were a couple trapped on the terminus side of the incline? Very disappointed about the vans situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very long incline to access the branch, locos and brakevans went up around the outside of the drumhouse, locos with the centre wheels removed and they stayed up there as long as possible, there were good facilities at the shed including sheerlegs for lifting. http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/r/rosedale/rosedale(incline1927)old6.jpg http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/r/rosedale/index.shtml It sometimes went wrong... http://www.hows.org.uk/personal/rail/incline/ing2.jpg http://web.onyxnet.co.uk/Auffret-onyxnet.co.uk/railways/incline/incline5.jpg 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete55 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi Paul, great stuff as always! I know its a prototype track plan, but how would you run round an in coming train without the loco going onto the coal cells, which I assume is a no no? Was there a loop off the modelled area? Or is it a case of two locos in steam?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 21, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2017 Only one loco, the whole of the east branch was one section. I'm assuming they ran round at the east mines and propelled round to the yard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted January 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2017 There's some background on the operation here but it doesn't detail how Low Barings was served. http://www.rosedalerailway.org.uk/OPERATION%20OF%20THE%20LINE%20(revised).pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandbridgejct Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just spent a very enjoyable few hours reading the background to this line, tracing its route on google maps, and generally marvelling at the beauty and wildness of the setting, particularly so close to an industrial heartland. It's a fantastic site to build a model of. I've been following for quite a while, but hadn't really appreciated the stunning location. By the way, I think you're being a bit unfair to Stubby: there are caravans all over Rosedale Abbey. Alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted January 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looking good Paul, a perfect layout for a Drewry shunter and a few BR vans, opens and 16 ton minerals, shame it didn't last long enough. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Paul, As you can tell from my various "likes" etc I have only today come across your latest NER project so I will now follow. Fantastic modelling, very evocative and quite unique IMHO. Best Regards, Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Taylor Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Only one loco, the whole of the east branch was one section. I'm assuming they ran round at the east mines and propelled round to the yard. Do you know if the drops were rail head profiled girder rail or waybeams with chairs? Central division drops such as those on the Stainmore line were way beam based (NER 4 bolt common chairs) and it would appear locos were allowed onto them. Certainly Lartington was 15" square timber waybeams and had a sign stating "engines are allowed on these depots", as were Broomielaw and Bowes.
