dube Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was going to build an OO layout representing the main line between Birmingham and Derby 1955 however having looked at Ackthorpe in MR I think I might go a lot further north which had a lot more variation in locos ExLNER types and I was looking at Milford Junction north of Knottingley where 3 main lines converge, I`ve got a 22ft x 22ft garage to play with, I think the junction would have been a lot less complicated than it is today but I can`t find a track plan correct for 1955 also I`ve already got lots of info on the cross country trains from the SW to York Newcastle "Operation Midland 1955" but I`m struggling a bit with the other 2 main lines and local trains (suburban stock?) and the types of freight, any info you could give would be much appreciated. useful info http://www.imageinuk...6507542&k=sRFaQ http://www.historypi....23082/zoom:13/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrush Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The NRM has the former BR/OPC large scale plan of the yard listed as ref.21001 (2 sheets). An enquiry to those nice Search Engine people should produce a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware there was a huge station building near to the signal box, Milford Junction station ? Monk Fryston was "under" the main road from Selby - Leeds and had platforms on the ? Castelford lines only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dube Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks for that I`ve found the track plan for 1955 thanks to http://www.old-maps.co.uk which shows just how extensive the Millford sidings were and the marshalling yards at Gascoigne wood where it joins the Selby - Leeds line, I`d have to simplify this a lot but I think it would make a very good location to base a layout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
