flyingsignalman Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Excellent pictures Dave, were the pilots out of service because the blast furnaces had closed? Quite a mixed fleet, are they NBL and hunslets? The blast furnaces closed in early 1980. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingsignalman Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) It was rationalisation - accelerated by a derailment - which meant that the facing move (right line) was no longer available, so the trains had to run wrong line between Ellesmere Port No.4 and Ellesmere Port No.2. The view in DAS000002 shows the crossover still in place but it was out of use at the time.Wrong line running was authorised between Ellesmere Port Nr4 and Nr2 before the derailment (one of three in fairly quick succession in 1978/1979) that took out the facing crossover at Ellesmere Port Nr2.After the derailment it was the only way to access the West End yard for a train from the Helsby direction.

Fat Controller Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hi Russ, not sure of the reason but they were certainly out of service. No further details I'm afraid, I took the shots on a whim while looking out of the back of Dee Marsh Junction signal box. It#s a pity I didn't wander over and take some more detailed shots - hindsight and all that. Wasn't the closure of the plant preceded by a nation-wide steelworkers' strike? Shelton Bar and many other plants lost their iron-making facilities at this time; some works closed completely, whilst others, such as Shotton and Shelton, retained rolling and processing capabilities.

flyingsignalman Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 One use for the exchange siding was to run round trains from the branch for the Chester direction (and vice versa). After West Cheshire Jcn was burnt down the connection to Shellstar was put onto Helsby box and at the same time the Exchange Sdgs GF was abolished.

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted July 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi Dave. A big thankyou from me for posting these here (and elsewhere) as your shots of LNWR Type4 boxes are absolutely invaluable to me. The external ones give lots of variations on the theme allowing me to create a generic but prototypical Box. The internal shots give a wealth of detail on layout, fixtures and fittings, (and most importantly for me), carpentry details as i'm building a LNWR Type 4 size J Tumbler wooden Cabin in 5" gauge. I have taken the liberty to download the relevant shots, from your thread(s), and will abide by your terms of use. But I have a question which requires me to reproduce (and thus breaking at least two of your conditions) an extract of a photo of yours. (I hope you don't mind and will remove it if you don't want me to do this.) Extract from a Dave Skipsey photo DAS000107 shown further up this thread. What are the two upright things going through the window bottom shelf, ringed in red by me, and how are they used/operated? I can see the yellow one is linked to Lever 32 (wilt a wire tension adjuster in fromt) and one is white (out of use). Any help is greatly appreciated. Kev. (PS. what was the green box for in between them?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingsignalman Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) The yellow and white posts were based for the LNWR style arm repeaters for the up distant signals when they were lower quadrants. The repeater for the UQ distant was mounted on the block shelf. The green box is an ex army ammunition box and was used for storing detonators; they appeared in the boxes about 1978/9.
