Holby Railway Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Im building a FICTIONAL railway it is HOLBY CI+Y RAILWAY, set in the mythical Wyvern Area, as a Preservation Society / Heritage Railway right now that is out of the way..... It is to be fictional because i know what i want and its easier than trying to do a prototype, this will enable me to pinch things or places to fit my wants and needs. At the moment i have 2 signalboxes, there maybe a third later (not decided) Barmouth & Bentley Heath have been chosen, and made for me by somebody with greater skills than me. Naylors Way is to be based on the Old Rotton Park Station on the LNWR / LMS Harborne Branch, Holby Central is to be loosely based on Kidderminster (SVR), the middle station Barratt Street, i want to replicate Dorridge Station, realistically im hoping somebody somewhere has photographs of Dorridge showing the 4 platforms (Platform 4 was demolished in the 1960's) DOES ANYBODY HAVE PICTURES OF DORRIDGE STATION BEFORE PLATFORM 4 WAS DEMOLISHED PLEASE ?? holbycityrailway@gmail.com Edited November 10, 2021 by Holby Railway omission Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
