Perhaps you mean where was it?

There was indeed an incline on the London & Croydon Railway of 1 in 100 stretching 2 - 3/4 miles from New Cross to Forest Hill. Just as there was an incline on the London & Birmingham Railway out of Euston. The inclined section on the London & Birmingham had to be rope hauled, but this was as much to do with an act of Parliament which did not allow engines nearer London than Camden Town. This practice ceased mid 1844.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the comments. Full details of the building will be in the next Digest by Eric. Not much to show of the layout yet, baseboards are nearly done though. I'm tackling locos and stock at the same time, a sort of spinning plates trick! I'll post more as and when it gets done.

Cheers,

Chris

Very nice! Will this be available via ebay at some point?

Probably, although happy to take advance orders.....

What a lovely piece of work! Please can we have an update once it's painted and in situ? It's particularly useful to see it at this stage to see the constructional detail.

Thanks.

Chris

Very nice indeed!perhaps the addition of a couple of crew?
