But there are none of those of Leeds City North; perhaps that makes my post an 'in' comment? But, hey, 'Leander' will understand the sentiment. I believe LCN is for where the Standard 5 is destined.

But, hey, 'Leander' will understand the sentiment. I believe LCN is for where the Standard 5 is destined. They all are but may get the occasional run on Millhouses as well. JB has a pressing need for more 4-6-0s. Derby based 73030 is for John's projected 'earlier' period if we're being absolutely correct. The green Standard 5MT 73068 is intended for a Bristol working on either layout. 'Home Guard' is for LCN on the Morecambes but is a bit early for 9/62 but I've got a soft spot for unrebuilt Patriots. The Nottingham Standard 4MT is more suitable for Millhouses and the Black 5 will go anywhere, just like the prototype. 44765 is a Crewe North loco which went out on loan as required. I've just thought. We'll soon have 44765 and 44756, now some drivers might find that a bit interesting to say the least! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be starting work on the Standard 5 next week. I'm sure it will be treading the rails of Leeds in due course! Suitably grubby I hope!

I certainly hope that it'll be on a Leeds - Morecambe working before too long. It may even appear on Millhouses & Eccleshall as well but it is a little 'out of area' around Sheffield. Excellent work Tom. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLaird Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just in case anybody is wondering about the inactivity on this thread, it's not because I have fallen off my perch or run into the buffer stops, its because the railway has been closed since the end of April. The reason being that structural and internal alterations are in progress on the shed, some of which will necessitate re structuring the power supplies to the layout. The opportunity is also being taken to install the electrical interlocking for LCJ and preparatory work for LCW and the other boxes. there is not much of interest to photograph especially as the structural work is a carbon copy of last years extension. I anticipate that October may see us up and running again - hopefully!! John E. 2 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the neighbours know they're about to be annexed, or is the experimental multi height fiddle yard concept being reworked into a multi storey shed towering over the surroundings and resembling a PSB? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leander Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Awaiting the Engine Shed Junction signaller/fiddle yard operator when services recommence. The 'Want Shunt/Accept Shunt' lights should give more warning of a shunt suddenly appearing from Leeds City Junction on the Up Normanton line. The procedure will be that the LCJ signaller will request a shunt (or 'Long Shunt' if a long train is being shunted) and will then be accepted (or otherwise) by ESJ. The problem for ESJ has been shunts suddenly appearing unannounced and blocking the entry/exit roads. It's especially problematic if stock is being shunted or a loco move is in progress in the fiddle yard. And another loco for the Morecambe/Carnforth workings, a Lancaster (Green Ayre) Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0. The weathering is by Barry Oliver and she's being run in on John Brighton's 'MIllhouses' & Eccleshall' layout. 15 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Leander Posted October 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Progress at Leeds City Wellington box. All lit up with lights! The Laird has completed the illuminated Diagram for LCW about a fortnight ago and reported that, after testing it works, with the correct colour LEDs this time.

Simon Hartshorne Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I’ve come late to this thread, prompted by the piece(s) in MRJ recently. I just wanted to add my compliments to all of the others - beautiful work, a credit to all involved. Thanks for sharing it with us.
