RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted May 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2018 The outer limit, the rear fence of the yard will not be on the board where the track is laid. It will be on the front edge of the rear board. There is, indeed, a lane planned to run behind it (for those who remember the village, it runs along the side of the (incomplete) shop building, left foreground of picture below). So, yes, it would be entirely possible to have an entrance to the pens from behind them - which ties in also with Kevin's point about multiple entrances. I drove through that arch over Easter - you captured the narrow street extremely well James! Leading up to that part is quite a steep incline and was interesting driving through when cars were parked all the way up on the left, leaving only just about enough room to get by practicly scraping the wing mirrors on the window ledges!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGemAlchemist Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Possibly, although I think the words are true, in that the goods shed is, just about, in view in the right background. This map shows an early iteration of the layout of the station, which was twice changed significantly. The version on the map looks like a really badly designed model railway layout! Yeah. I doubt anyone here would intentionally produce anything like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yeah. I doubt anyone here would intentionally produce anything like this. I believe the layout was conceived as a shunting plank to amuse the directors of the CVR and some bozo in the office thought it was the actual station design. Heads didn't roll, mainly from embarassment.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Regularity Posted May 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yeah. I doubt anyone here would intentionally produce anything like this. Just goes to show that if you want to have a really weird layout (or any model) then follow a prototype example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Its the unfortunate offspring of Billy Dean and, ummm, Swindon Works..... I've always thought these to be truly heroic bits of experimentation - whereas Decapod was a complete and utter con. Considering that Johnson Dean was responsible for one of the most perfectly proportioned Victorian single wheelers, isn't it extraordinary that right at the end of his Swindon career he should be willing to let those young bloods have their head at experimenting? Looking at that, I can’t help but think that it might have worked as a 2-6-2... One of the fascinations was that the Krugers couldn't decide themselves whether they were moguls or aspired to be 4-6-0s. And No 100 was also Churchward Billy Dean. dh 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted May 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I just posted this elsewhere, but realised that Grandpa* had got it wrong. Surely this is his Lordship and the Memsahib on the beach at Hunstanton! Edit - *'Grandpa' H.T.Sutters was, at the time he took this photo., installing electrical services in the Abbassia Barracks, Cairo. He had previous done similar work in HM Dockyard Portsmouth.
