Btourer Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Not sure if anyone has seen this one - http://myrailwaystation.com/STEAM%20AROUND%20THE%20COUNTRY/images/64539%20pictured%20at%20Hawick%2020th%20May%201958_jpg.jpg - It shows a lot of the buildings located behind Hawick engine shed which are usually hidden behind loomotives in most images! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Some good new stuff there. All three contain some useful detail. D5069 is really leaning to the curve as she waits time on 2S52. The Border Counties track geometry is to die for, and the intimacy of 64G is almost indecent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishswissernie Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The one that Robert Carroll has posted on his Flickr was one of the recent ones for sale on ebay, complete with copyright - I managed to get one of D5314 at Hawick and have currently got a bid in for another of D5069 at Galashiels. The Riccarton one was on E Bay as well. Ernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveArkley Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Not sure if this has been linked before, I came across it when I was researching St Boswells http://ssa.nls.uk/film.cfm?fid=5522 Cheers Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwb.photos Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks for adding this one Dave, It shows a Peak at St Boswells with Station Master George Mitchell closing the carriage door and my father Alec Burrell behind him, The train would be the 10.5am Edinburgh Waverley to London St Pancras and the BRCW Type 2/Class 26 on the 09.20 Carlisle to Edinburgh Waverley.

shed64a Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Just had my latest ebay purchase, Cinerails "Railways of Scotland Vol. 2 - The Waverley Route" VHS (cheaper than buying the DVD and it still works!) drop through the door. For someone who is too young to have experienced the Waverly route as a working line its an enjoyable watch. Lots of useful modelling inspiration, just a pity that the camera operator was on the Lady Victoria signalbox side as they went past!

'CHARD Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 That view from the approach road is beautiful. Love the Scottish Region blue 'socks' on the pillars, totally signature touch. On the second platform view you can see the white gates from Dovemount Place to the station yard. Those photos completely encapsulate the station as I first remember encountering it. Within a year it would be swept away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btourer Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yes, I am planning to. I still have a lot of research to do, but the idea is to build the station and goods yard with the locomotive shed first and then expand from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher24 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 i am steadily working on the buildings for my model of stow which has finally been started. i have good photographs of most of the major buildings such as the good shed and station buildings etc but, there is one group of buildings on my map that i have no clue about. they are line side which means that there are only so many things that they can be but most of the photos i have are taken from the north end and don't show the buildings in question. does any rmwebber have an idea as to the company or purpose of these buildings. the buildings in question are circled in red. kingfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small enclosed field with visible boundary, and the hard to access stub siding adjacent to the two structures makes me wonder if it's a loading dock for sheep or cows. Horses would I think have been loaded from the main passenger platform as was normal NB practice (someone correct me if I've read my W/T/T notes wrong!). Looking again at the track layout, I think it may be unique among Waverley goods yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
