I’ve just found out that the plans for the Rainhall Road bridge (No. 11) are held at The National Archives, Kew.
They are in RAIL 491/1205 and shows plan, elevation and sections in 3 parts. It is dated 1911 and has not been digitised.
The MR seems to have been considering quite a lot of work at Barlick in this period including a footbridge and subway for Station Road, probably killed off by WW1. It would tie in with the visit by the MR photographer in 1913 and shown in Midland Record 7.

The plans for the station building are held by Derbyshire library services, I have microfilm copy somewhere. They are for the post 1905 alterations. I lived in Barnoldswick (known locally as Barlick) from 1957-1966 and regularly visited the station.

For those who might not be aware Markits produce a set of 4 sprung buffers (4Buf Loco Duch - £10.70 by post.) which provides the oval heads for the loco and the round for the tender on square bases. The oval heads are non-rotating. Much better in my opinion than solid buffers.
Ordered mine by phone yesterday afternoon and arrived this morning!

Stewart,
I understand that ordering will be direct from High Level; their site indicates availability from May / June.
Regards,
John.
I've reserved a chassis kit today - I'm number 6. Always been interested in this loco after seeing it going south through Preston one dark night.
Unfortunately the Hornby mag article says to use BR Class 5 wheels (6' 2"), think that should be Class 4 (5' 8").
Barnoldswick (Barlick) Station - Trackplan

I have a copy of the Barnoldswick & Gisburn Light Railway Book of Reference dated 1912 and this shows that contrary to published information the MR station would not have become a through station. The B&GLR terminus would have been near Bankfield Mill which is next to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. Bankfield Mill is presently the site of Rolls Royce Ltd. The two sites are at least a mile apart.
