Lord of Narnia Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Top end of the Metropolitan? The GCR steam trains were still in use till 1966 but new class 115 DMUs were running the local serivce. In 1960-61 the A stock was about to take over the Met leaving room for Dreadnought steam stock, T stock and occassional T/P stock trains. There was also a lot of freight traffic too.

James Harrison Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Metropolitan/GC joint line, perhaps? Somewhere further out where both companies could use the stations (closer in toward London, only the Met had rights to build and operate stations- to prevent undue competition for the commuter traffic). Harrow on the Hill, Pinner, Amersham- somewhere like that. Amersham in the 1950s/60s you could model the switch between electric and steam traction on the Met lines. As for loco stock, going for the 1950s you could have the changeover period when the GC went from being Eastern region to London Midland Region- ex-GCR/ LNER locos rubbing shoulders with ex-LMS and of course BR standards, plus Metropolitan Bo Bo electrics, dreadnought carriages, T-stock and the Ashbury Chesham carriages. 1960s you have T-stock, A-stock, ex-LMS locos, BR standards, early DMUs....

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted February 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2013 If you wanted something with a Southern flavour you could try New Cross Gate, with the East London Line, Southern EMU's. DEMU's from Uckfield etc and some steam pottering around on freights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F2Andy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Amersham in the 1950s/60s you could model the switch between electric and steam traction on the Met lines. That would be Rickmansworth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
