LNER4479 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 (edited) 'That photo is taken from Nelson bridge which is the continuation of Victoria viaduct at the north end of Citadel, the bridge also goes across the river here. We have a low relief version of that goods shed alongside a line which just disappears into the wall - we just have the through goods lines, no room for Dentonholme yard (the building wasn't big enough....).' Thanks Mike. In the fullness of time, a bridge on the layout at that point might be quite appropriate and will make some use of the triangle area. No buses allowed, though (Clive please note) Edited February 2 by LNER4479 4 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LNER4479 Posted February 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9 Well, here we go again😀 Work proceeds smoothly setting up at the Doncaster Racecourse venue. Stock setting out is the usual Rubik's cube ... all the right wagons but not necessarily in the right order. Cor - look at all them trains. Managed to cycle each of them round before knocking off time so a few Gremlins already attended to. See you over the weekend if you're coming along 😉 40 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tomlinson Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I went to Doncaster this afternoon, Sunday, and greatly enjoyed watching an entire sequence. Well done to all involved for creating and displaying such a splendid layout. John. 3 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LNER4479 Posted February 11 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 11 DONCASTER SHOW REPORT Well, apologies in advance as it all too easily gets to packing up time on the Sunday and you realise you haven't taken photos like you intended. So just a couple I'm afraid from me. This is the even more advanced/improved 'bridge of the Starship Enterprise' down Fiddle Yard control panel 😱 But it's all quite logical when you know how and - more importantly - performed more or less faultlessly all weekend. It's the reason we can pump out trains at regular intervals to keep things moving 'out front' and it's gradual evolution over the last five years is all down to Andrew's hard work and enthusiasm 🤗 The full team roll call for the weekend also included Paul and Tom, Steve P, Neil Barker, Barry O (who came bearing a Turbomotive) and a lunchtime stint today from Jonathan W (who came bearing cakes) As a quick PS, folks are eternally fascinated by the transportation logistics. This show was a first try out of the future arrangements now that the Upperby - Bog Junc curve is in. Here we are at about 9.45pm this evening, with van backed into the space created by removal of the boards between Bog Junc (right) and Grand Junction (left). Bits of layout are gradually filling the chapel out of the back of the van. All seems workable. Weather agreeable this evening, but this is designed to combat the prospect of loading / unloading on a filthy wet night.🌧️⚡☔ 27 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted February 12 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12 I hate to even think of criticising such a magnificent layout, but, aren't you a tad deficient in the tail lamp area?, I notice the things at the pointed end are suitably adorned.
