tamperman36 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 When modelling the mainlines note the size of the signal post, they are a little on the extreme side. One each side of the mainlines, the trunking and signal cabinates will be easily doable using the Wills sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric709 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think that was the new office for trainload coal in fact. The building houses the train crew booking on point, mess room, locker room, offices for the area management team etc Was the operating base & control for EWS Energy when that was up and running before everything went back to Doncaster CSDC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d winpenny Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Well having picked up some track from the post office yesterday courtesy of sir jinty, I have now realised that most of my depot roads need there angle reducing by about 10degree as I over estimated just a little bit, but the upside is it should mean more track space at the top end when I've adjusted the track spacings David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not done much more with adjusting the track plan as yet because it basically means it all needs rubbing out and starting again but picked up a few HTAs from york show at the weekend hoping to get some more at some point, obviously no layout as yet so here's a picture of the lined up the kitchen New stock for knottingley layout by mosherlad, on Flickr David 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

totonlover Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi David, Looking forward to seeing this progress! I visited Knottigley a couple of times but that was when it was full of 56's and 08's. Those last pictures above from Jonny777 were probably around the time I visited, I was 13 at the time and now 38! Cheers Simon Ditto this statement, I went only last Tuesday rather coincidental you used to be able to walk round the car park with impunity and that was legitimately, now its like fort knox with electric gates, cctv and intercom entry. I asked two member's of staff for permission to drive in the car park to have a look at the shed to a firm rebuff your on cctv! how times have changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
totonlover Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That looks like a good plan for an interesting project. Good luck with it; at least there would be lots of activity in its heyday, although it looks to have undergone some rationalisation in recent years. The big building at the back appeared to be going to take over as the new servicing facility when it was being built 20 years ago (or at least that is what I assumed. 56092 56108 KY 5:9:92.jpg Now, from that overhead view, it seems to be completely unconnected with rails and looks more of a white elephant. As I recall the line where the 56's are stabled is not there anymore and the access road down to the depot said something like EWS or DbS learning centre, so is it possibly a training centre, either way I couldn't see it connected to any lines.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi David, Have you seen the other Knottingley layout thread? Admittedly, it's the wagon repair depot side. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Hi David Ive been that wrapped up in my own layout that I hadn't noticed you had started a new thread. Certainly looks like it will be impressive. Glad you liked the idea of the wall paper. I've usd it several times on different layouts and at least you know what you can fit before you start. It does have another good use. If you pin the tack down on it then trim off all the excess then if you ever dismantle the layout you tend to find the track comes up a lot easier as it's not glued to the base board from doing the ballasting. Look forward to more updates. Cheers Marcus Edited April 8, 2015 by Marcus 37 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi David, Just found your new thread. I only went to Knottingley once back in the 80s but it was packed with plenty of loco's. Mainly class 56s, there were a few tampers on shed too. All the best with it mate. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
