RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 26, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2014 OK it has been some time since I last posted about this proposed layout. Here are some photos of the track plan (Templot) in 4mm scale, this will be the size of the senic area for a small diesel depot, it fills up my living room. Now to put back the living room as it was before Carys wakes up. :locomotive: 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobster Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Very nice Clive, this is going to be superb - I see that you have the usual modern Image modellers books - I think if we check, most of us will have the same books on the bookshelf Cheers, Bob.

Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Clive, not trying to be funny or anything, but can a layout be too big? The trackwork looks tremendous, but will there be room for some surrounding features and will it be something achievable? Just wondering........... Best wishes, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Moore Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Clive Having spent more or less every weekend of my childhood at Tinsley I will follow with interest. I actually remember walking round this servicing shed or should I say sneaking I once planned on making this myself it's a interesting layout with unique stock to add to it.

The trackwork looks tremendous, but will there be room for some surrounding features and will it be something achievable? Just wondering........... Best wishes, Peter Hi Peter It is bigger than the average model loco shed, I should know I have knocked up a few in my time. The only time layout is too big is when you cannot set it up to have a play. The bueaty of Tinsley servicing shed is that the lines are not all on the same level. I have not drawn the hump yet but that sits over one of the engine lines leaving the shed area. It has other features like the OLE lines that run either side of it. There is quite a lot to occupy ones viewing between movement of trains........hopefully. As for achievable, at the moment no less than any other project I have tried. If I don't try how will I know. Thanks to everyone else who has commented on the project so far. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 26, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2014 Time to switch to 2mm Scale then? Regards, Andy Hi Andy It might be 7mm, I can hardly see 4mm at times. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I would like to see that in 7mm Clive, now that would be Impressive. Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D869 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good Luck with it, whatever the scale. I have happy memories of trips around the main shed in the early 80s and a soft spot for the Woodhead electrics too. Sad to see what the place has come to nowadays though.

Thanks Peter Now wouldn't that look wonderful with the Tommy in green, a couple of Brush 2s, a pair of D8000s and maybe a Clayton where the 56 and Peak are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 One year on Clive. What became of this? Cheers Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 11, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi Ian As I type I can see the Templot plan sitting neatly rolled up behind the printer on my desk. It remains a very long term project. Truth is I am still sulking because I cannot have a bus on the bridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redford73 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Take whatever time you need Clive. Seen your 'Hanging Hill' which was great and looking forward to this. No point in rushing it. It took me 2 years to do the main TMD at Tinsley which was only 7 and a half' by 4' and that was just two thirds of the shed. Sadly had to dismantle because of house move and still hadn't really finished it. Good luck! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Hi Ian At the moment all model railways are on hold, we did plan to move last year but things being what they were we didn't. Still not sure if the house is going back on the market so all model projects are on hold. Have you seen the new bookzine on Diesel Depots, there is a very tasty photo of the Tinsley servicing shed.

Mark Saunders Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I can't remember a SYT bus service to the depot but there was a service of Sherpa minibuses to midland and to drivers homes that had transferred from closed depots Tinsley has about four Sherpas for transport It was common for many depots, there was a crew bus that ran Tyne, Gateshead and the Central Station and likewise for Millerhill to Waverley and Leeds, Neville Hill and Holbeck!
