Richard Pike Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 In conjunction with Simon, I am working on a Freight roster for the Heaton Lodge layout project. I have a 1983 WTT that I am using for a reference and have identified most trains but a few are eluding me. Can anyone help with identifying what the following workings would have carried. 8M89 Healey Mills - Arpley Sidings 7M92 Scunthorpe - Ashburys 8M34 Healey Mills - Garston 8E77 Walton Junction - Healey Mills 8E07 Ardwick - Healey Mills Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 In conjunction with Simon, I am working on a Freight roster for the Heaton Lodge layout project. I have a 1983 WTT that I am using for a reference and have identified most trains but a few are eluding me. Can anyone help with identifying what the following workings would have carried. 8M89 Healey Mills - Arpley Sidings 7M92 Scunthorpe - Ashburys 8M34 Healey Mills - Garston 8E77 Walton Junction - Healey Mills 8E07 Ardwick - Healey Mills Healey Mills to Arpley; non-air-braked general freight, probably with a predominance of coal and steel wagons Scunthorpe- Ashburys; as per above Healey Mills- Garston; shipment coal, probably mainly in 21t hoppers. Walton Jct- Healey Mills; empty coal and steel wagons, probably also some scrap, loaded in 16t minerals Ardwick- Healey Mills ; as per the Walton working. David Ratcliffe's 'Freight train formations' has some workings via Woodhead, which have similar points of origin. Tinsley to Arpley (8M38)- mainly coal in conventional minerals, but also steel billets, malt and limestone. Tinsley- Garston (8M10) - as above, but with caustic soda tanks from Grimsby to Widnes. Manchester Dewsnap to Tinsley (8M38)- empty minerals, chemicals in tanks, Covhops of soda ash I suspect the trains to and from Tinsley were the predecessors of the Healey Mills movements.

62613 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There were the remains of the South Yorkshire-Fiddler's Ferry MGR trains as well, IIRC, that had formerly run via Woodhead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Got the Fiddlers Ferry and all the Tank workings, it was just the above one's that I was struggling to identify. Now looking to do the Passenger workings but I am having difficulty in finding an early 80's ''YJ'' Passnger WTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted September 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 14, 2018 YJ is freight only. YE looks to be the similar area but Passenger & Parcels One 83-84 available here: https://britishrailwaybooks.co.uk/wtt/eregion/br31251-5-ye-160583.php#schematic. No connection etc but have used before with no complaints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Thanks Mr Bangor Blue, however ''YE'' doesn't cover Heaton lodge. The official route name is Hebden Bridge and Diggle to Leeds. I have used the source you suggested for WTT's several times in the past. Edit...Found it, it is ''YG'' area.
