MrWolf Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Speaking of Tupton. Anyone fancy one of those 009 Baldwin WD prairie tanks? You also get to name your terminus "Butts". Sadly all that is left of this wonderfully atmospheric scene is one overgrown bridge abutment. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The railway went under the town of Clay Cross in a tunnel, so the nearest they could get the station was at Tupton. Al. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It did indeed and if you clamber onto the tunnel mouth, the turrets on top of it are actually hollow. It's a pity that you can't see it from the train anymore. There used to be a shop built hard up to one of the ventilator shafts at the side of the A61, which resulted in an odd shaped building. There were quite a few stations in that area come to think of it. Tibshelf, Heath and Grassmoor on the GC, Clay Cross, Blackwell and Stretton on the Midland. All gone of course! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also get to name your terminus "Butts". Sadly all that is left of this wonderfully atmospheric scene is one overgrown bridge abutment. I think you will find the Ashover "Baldwin" tanks - and the Bachmann 009 models - are / were 4-6-0Ts - ex British Army. There were a few Baldwin "Prairie" tanks in UK - ex US Army - including a few at the Penrhyn Slate Quarry, but not very successful as replacements for Hunslets "Charles", "Linda" and "Blanche" which long outlasted the Baldwins.
