dagrizz Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Chris, Some details of a 1965 RCTS railtour over the A&N using a 4F. There are a couple more photos of the train at Abbey St on the Warwickshire Railways site. http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/60s/651016ml.html Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted November 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2012 Right at the southern extremity of the line, the books on the Trent Valley Main Line that I have found recently (with help here) for my Tamworth researches all have photos of Ashby Jct.

DavidHewett Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have just come across this topic when searching Google. For my sins I am trying to build a P4 model of Market Bosworth Station and Goods yard as at around 1908. Size constraints make it a representation of the area. The scenic length will be 4.6m. I have never been able to find a huge amount of info on the station and the reason I was searching is for some data on the signalling at the time I am modelling. Old pictures show the second LNWR signal box installed in the 1890's was a 25 lever design. I have not read all of the posts on the thread yet but if anyone has posted about signalling I would be very interested to see the details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted June 19, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2013 Welcome along David. Feel completely free to post anything of interest on this thread! Out of interest I was at Market Bosworth at the weekend. It looks very sorry for itself these days, despite being almost on a preserved line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not a book but Marsden Rail dvd 26 a rail tour ran via the A&N. the dvd also includes footage of the Bass railway in Burton and preserved locos parked outside Derby loco Laurence A cracking video is this - one which I can watch time and time again. Quite a bit on the A&N. The six bells jcn link above explains the day and compliments the video nicely. Shame all has now gone. Brit15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHewett Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for the welcome. For my project it is great that the Battlefield Line have now acquired more of Market Bosworth station and goods yard. They now hold some big events at the site as it offers a lot of space. I recently went to one event and it is a great opportunity to walk around the site search out items/buildings from the past that are still standing. Ellis & Sons were the local coal merchants operating out of the site. There is a small brick built "hut" near the road entrance hidden in the undergrowth which I think is either the goods yard office or one of the Ellis & Sons offices. There is much of the ballast from the coal exchange sidings as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignalmanTon Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Good Afternoon All, I have recently come across this post p, of which I have read with interest. I have been volunteering on this line for many years, though I admit with a recent break. I do know a lot about the history of this line and can point you in a few areas should you need anymore information. Please do not hesitate to PM me should you require. Regards, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 5, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks Tom. Although the thread started out three plus years ago as a layout idea I've since moved on to a 7mm Bodmin project. I think a layout based on my local line remains in my blood though and I'm sure it will happen at some point in the future. In the meantime I keep an eye out for interesting books and information, and hope this thread is a useful repository to others. This reminds me that there's a few more bits of information I should post here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
