Butler Henderson Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The 36 does pass the entrance but there is no stop - anyone would need to get off at the stop before Aldwoodly Gates traffic lights http://www.the36.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 29, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2011 Are we demolishing the overhead then? If Herculaneum is "modern image" - or do you mean modern image 1890's? Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 29, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2011 Are we demolishing the overhead then? If Herculaneum is "modern image" - or do you mean modern image 1890's? Mike that will be another "Oh Dear" moment from Doctor John - now modified!! So Modern to Dr J is 1950s --- probably correct!!

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted September 28, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2011 We now have what I hope is a definitive list of traders Millenium Models Bill Hudson Transport Books Model Depot Modeller's Mate Going Loco Uncommon Kits M&B Models Mad About Trains (K&M Models) Bay Models 247 Developments D&E Videos - DC Kits Elmet Images Unit Models ABC Model Railways D&M Videos Keiths Model Railways Ian Kirk Models Intercity Models When I can decipher the last floor plan I received I believe we have some additional layouts. Note that we will also have a display of local wagon photographs and maps of Leeds and its environs courtesy of John and Owen Gibbon plus support from the Middleton Railway, Leeds Historical Transport Society and the 1904 NER Railcar Trust. Add to this everything under one roof - food available ( including breakfast fro exhibitors and visitors alike) and loads of free car parking - it should be a good show. And - look at the back of the October Railway Modeller for a shot of a weathered Liverpool Overhead Railway on Herculaneum Dock - more of which in teh November edition.

Nicktoix Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 And here is the crane !! Needless to say the tracks underneath have no relevance.
