BR(S) Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 BR(S), I enjoyed your layout. If you are interested I visited Addiscombe in 95 & 97 and took loads of pics, including inside the closed carriage shed. As I work for the Railway many of these are trackside. Let me know if they would help. Cheers. If you'd like to post some in this thread I'd appreciate it (and I'm sure many others would like to see them!). I'm using this as a planning thread for Addiscombe for now, so all research material is welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
croydon junction Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yep, I'll start another thread on RMweb. It's 99% likely to be Addiscombe with just one platform showing on the edge of the baseboard, the sidings with SR carriage shed (scratchbuilt) and a fictional part will be a working turntable left over from steam days, with storage for three locos that will work the Willesden Junction services that I'll continue with. I've always wanted to install and operate a turntable. However, this is all unlikely to be happening any time soon, especially with summer approaching, when I tend to do a lot less railway modelling. Addiscombe would look great. The only slight problem is someone has already built a layout based on Addiscombe, but that layout wasn't up to the standard of Bromley North. If you want a link to it: http://www.emgs.org/picture/expoem-may-2012/288-img-9012.html (P.S. if possible, add in an unelectrified track like you did with Bromley North, as that looked great.)

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted May 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2014 Sorry to take you to task there; Bromley is very well done but Addiston South most definitely is up to the standard of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK877Lc3VTU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone interested in SR layouts, Paul Burkitt Gray has lots on his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL99A7F1A18A7E9EAA Addiston South won't put me off doing my own version of Addiscombe; it'll be a good illustration of how two people can model the same subject and approach it in different ways. The station won't be a focal point for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good, but I don't like BR green non-industrial stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobster Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Great detailed pics there Paul - Out of Interest, when were these taken. Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Many thanks to Paul (Lyddrail) for some excellent shots. That one of the front of the shed building is particularly useful. Nice to see all the NSE bits and the SR ground position signal. Overgrowth-wise, my layout will be modelled just as that was all starting to take over and the end of the line was approaching.

Lyddrail Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Bob, The pics are dated if you hover over them, but first 3 are 15/06/1995, last 2 are 24/04/1997. By 1997 they were only using one line. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR(S) Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 My new layout, Highgate Wood Sidings, is now well under way. I've put together a website to record Bromley North, with photos and commentary from this RMweb thread: http://bromleynorth.blogspot.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I haven't visited this thread for a while (shame on me). Congratulations on an epic inspirational layout and here's to the next one. Can't wait! Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
