jessy1692 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Bit of a long shot of a slightly obscure/ very modelable prototype, does anybody on here have any more insight/ pics of it? ive got pretty much all the books and pics i can find just wondering if theres any extra info floating around on here, would be brilliant to find some new ( for me ) material.

AMJ Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 This My link is a copy of the book about the line with photos. IIRC copies of the book are being given out as a perk if you sponsor the restoration of The Thomas Green loco Barber See My link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
invercloy Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 My mate Steve is building a layout (slowly) based on New Park, there is a topic about it here on NGRM: http://ngrm-online.c...php?f=30&t=1496 We at Narrow Planet are also working on a kit of some of the hoppers in 009: viewtopic.php Robert Thompson is making kits of the locos: http://www.rtmodels...._models_014.htm The Drewry is already available and the Peckett is in development. Spencer can be built from the Langley WD Hunslet kit, not sure if a kit of Barber is planned but it would be nice. If you are serious about narrow gauge then I can thoroughly recommend joining NGRM (you need to to see the first two links in this post) as it's got plenty of content on the Harrogate system as well as a few people who are thinking of modelling it. http://ngrm-online.com Not sure about more photos, but if you were to ask on NGRM you'd definitely be asking a wider range of NG modellers.

RMweb Premium cornelius Posted May 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm working on an 009 layout of New Park as Tom mentioned. The hopper wagon project was therefore started for my own benefit but there has been a good amount of interest in them so I will market them as kits in due course. Railway Magazine of August 1969 has a few photos that are not in the book but no amazing new insights. There are also some photos on Flickr of one of the tunnel mouths as it is today And you can see some remnants of the line on Google Streetview http://fairlightworks.narrowplanet.co.uk/2010/03/nice-touch-harrogate/ Through the blog posts I was contacted by someone who grew up in an adjacent street to the yard and has a page of personal memories. http://www.tugsworld.com/bonzo/gen/biographies/Cooper-Paul-early.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 A Ha, thanks gents, i was randomly googling around not so long agao and came accross the new park layout on the fairlight works blogs, thats what put me onto RT models and the drewery kit, cant wait for the peckett and hopefully barber kits to come Iv got a model going of the 'other end' i.e the coal drops on the slow boil at the moment. There literaly 2 minutes from my house and nowadays in my missuse's back garden before she moved anyway! might be tempted with the hopper kits as well. iv heard plenty of tall tales about the line from me grandad who used to bunk it from bilton to new park school but whether some of the stuff he comes out with is true or not is another story! All the best James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
