Where i was based in the 80s/90s a standard retirement gift for a time-served footplate man was a cacophony of dets going off as they brought their last working out of a yard. 

Great times 

Cheers

Hi and a happy new year. 

The HAT is complete bar plant life. 

Here it is sat approximately where it will finally sit.

 

Most measures and details have had to be guessed due to a lack of images around 1979 showing details from all angles. The large end doors have been added as a guess. Colour scheme at the time was either filthy white or mucky cream. 

 

I'm hoping this area will be transformed once greenery is added. 

 

Cheers

Hi Stu, 

Very nice. There is (was?) a door to the building from the railway side, I'll see if I can find an image to assist you.

Hi, 

Final detailing on the HAT (minus weed growths) includes vents on the roof and walkway lighting with conduits which in 2mm scale is darn fiddly! 

 

I'll make a start on the bridge control tower now. 

Cheers

Hi Stu,

Couldn't find a decent photo in the books I have that shows the door, but I've highlighted where it is on your previous photo....

 

Don't know if you've visited the SRS (Signalling Record Society) site, but they have an "Archive & FARSAP" (Film Archive of Railway Signalling and People) section with a video of Selby Swing Bridge, which may be of interest to you. At approximately 13:07 in the video you get a fairly good shot of the door.

 

Selby (s-r-s.org.uk) - hope the link works. If it doesn't, go to www.s-r-s.co.uk and click on Archives. A drop-down box should appear and near the bottom is "Archive & FARSAP". Click on this and then "Locations". Find "Selby Swing Bridge" and the video should open.

Thank you! The only half decent image i have is a recent one with plenty of weed growths covering the view.
