Hi David
Thank you for your comment.
Dad lived on swan street in Evenwood, and he remembers all the old cottages and the collierys surrounding the area,
His friend lived in Evenwood station and he visited regularly, he also remembers the pub at ramshaw called "the bridge inn"
And He also remembers the track being lifted at west Aucklands level crossing, a very sad day.
A Q6 would be a beautiful locomotive to own in RTR, I hope someone does one very soon.
We never thought about basing our station on the Hagerleases branch, sounds like a very good idea.
And that viaduct would be amazing and look superb if someone modelled it in OO Gauge.
Many thanks
Nelson
Edit: a PM has been sent about our plans to do Evenwood in OO Gauge.
