Another photograph. This is where I got to tonight

Managed to get a copy online now. What a palava.

'So?' says anyone who has any familiarity with the real chester north, "what's this layout got to do with the real place?".

Well. I'm planning to run the stock that ran to Chester north. I've got the 1935 wtt and the 1939 passenger diagrams book and the 1936 coaching stock working diagrams timetable showing coaching formations.

I've got a load of really good drawings from the NRM and although the layout is based on Buxton Midland i reckon I can run the same service from this layout as would have been seen at Northgate and I reckon I can nick most of the structures from Northgate and put them in, in modified form, for the structures originally found at Buxton.

It gets round the fact that northgate doesn't fit!

how does everyone else get their images below 1 mb so that they can upload? this is driving me nuts!

Thanks Joseph.

Hadfield... wasn't it a through station in 1935 or am I thinking of another Hadfield?

Norman Saunders of just tracks has helped with the track plan. It just fits into the space I have. The junction has been left off scene. The northgate trainshed has been grafted on instead of Buxton station.
