Hi Thank you for your reply , but I can confirm that he is still there and perfectly safe for the time being as although all the track work is now live I only have three locomotives with digital chips fitted and as I do not have a controller at the present time all points are set in fixed positions at the moment and I have to be careful where I run to avoid any shorting.

landscapes Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi A view looking across the main running lines from Waverley Station North the Glasgow, Perth and Aberdeen. A panoramic view of the east yard with four locomotives on shed. Regards David 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
landscapes Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Hi I thought I would try a new view today, looking at high level across the main shed roof towards the east yard, this is the type of view you would get if taken from the very large coal tower. This is fast forward to early 1962 when Deltic Diesels appeared at Haymarket marking the demise of steam, also we have a Class J83 visiting from St Margarets MPD which can been seen on the shed.

landscapes Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi Its been a month since my last input having been out of the UK, so I thought it was about time to add another photo.

landscapes Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hi Another photo of Class D11/2 62690 taken from a slightly different angle with two of Haymarket's Top Link A4's in the background. I do think the D11/2's were lovely looking locomotives and the Bachmann model is in my opinion superb as well. Regards David 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

landscapes Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi Thompson A2/3 60511 Airborne has now moved onto one of the holding roads below the large coaling and water towers and stopped up next to a resident Gresley A3. This was not an uncommon sight to see locomotives standing on these lines, why I do not know perhaps someone can advise? It must have been a mouth watering sight for any trainspotters passing by the MPD. Regards David 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Roads for serviced and turned locos awaiting their next turn of duty, close to the main lines so relatively easy access to Waverley? I'm not as familiar with the Edinburgh sheds as I am with the London sheds, there seem to be less photos and less written about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as familiar with the Edinburgh sheds as I am with the London sheds, there seem to be less photos and less written about them. Hi jeffP Thank you for your reply, coming from London myself I am also unfamiliar with Haymarket, Although I have learnt a lot about the MPD researching for the model layout and with a lot of help from fellow members who knew the depot. But I agree with you I also believe they were laid up there ready for their next turn of duty, but by leaving that location to head for Waverley Station they would have missed the stores building which housed lamps and head boards. But who knows it might have been a hop across a few lines for the crew to acquire the lamps, the head board fitting would have been a problem as the store building had a built in timber platform to give higher access to the locomotives.

landscapes Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi I have finally finished the timber foot crossings to all the roads radiating out from the main shed building to give locomotives access to the main lines. Thank God for Coffee Stirrers. This gave MPD staff safe access to the depot from the main access road. Not. Brilliant photo as taken on my IPhone.

landscapes Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi More photos of locomotives stabled in the holding sidings to the south of the MPD. I have been advised by Eric Kidd I.e. 60027Merlin a fellow RMWeb member who has help me with my Haymarket layout on quite a few occasions that he believes locomotives are positioned there until there was free space for them to progress to the West end of the MPD. Haymarket had a one way system for locomotives entering the MPD, they were turned on the turntable then they progressed on through to replenish coal and water supplies then onto the West End of the shed to await there next turn of duty. First photo we see two resident Haymarket locomotives. Regards David 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
