Found this booklet on the web today with drawings of the G5.

Will study those and see if I can use it in the future.

There is alsoa booklet of the M7

LNER G5 Instruction booklet print off pdf.pdf LSWR M7 Instructions.pdf

thank you for the information to convert a Dapol M7 into a G5.
I am very interested in this and have already searched for drawings of a G5.
On the web I find drawings of Connoisseur models
which are useful.
The problem is how do I find a Dapol G5 to study whether a conversion is possible.
Here in Holland there is nothing to be found so whether this idea has a chance of success is very small as it looks now.

Hello
Because many photos are no longer visible in RM web, I want to share with you some photos of my railway Richmond branch with this contribution.
Rails are from Fleischmann, not so nice, but they will do the job, the rest is homemade.
Buildings made of cardboard and paper, signals DIY with LEDs.
Everything is manually operated by means of levers
Also, the turntable.
The level crossing is Arduino controlled.
For the train control, I use the program engine driver.

Gentlemen Thank you for the clear answer to my question, I'm going to think about how I'm going to make the lamps, think about installing about 15 of them.

Thanks John

This is the last post I write under the name Richmond branch.

Subsequent contributions will be posted on Richmond NER.

Hi

Can anyone tell me what model platform lamp was on the platform in Richmond in 1948. I have looked at many photos but I cannot find out in which year the lamps were changed.

Hello Edwardian

I understand that you want to date the station to the beginning of the last century .

I have decided to realize my layout as it was in 1948, that is also my birth year, and with the idea that there are also n gauge locos from that time.
I own a Union Mills J39 in Br version and not in the Late and Never Early Railway version.
So if I can contribute something to this story, it will not only be about the NER but also about the years after, hope that is not an objection.
Until half a year ago I building at the Richmond emplacement using arduino and servos to operate the switches and semaphores, I have left that path and have now switched to manual operation by means of levers, the turntable is now also manually operated so it feels It concerns me to build my model railroad.
use arduino and dcc++ex and JMRI to run my locoHenk

Information about the Van Houten sign.

You can find it here https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Houten_(chocoladefabriek)

Put it in Google translate.

Hi Edwardian

Pleasantly surprised that you have taken over Chris's station.
Would like to contribute to Richmond NER if I can.
I am very happy with the descriptions of the station and the iconic buildings.
From my country it is still very difficult to get data but via Richmond NER a Richmond station heaven has suddenly opened up for me.
Quit Richmond branch now.
Hopefully this year on the bike again to Yorkshire.

Hello, another comment from the Netherlands.  What I wrote earlier, I had to pay VAT, customs clearance and the carrier, for which I received an email to pay the stated amount, I did not do this, I wanted to see if the package was in good condition.  Ordered the J39 from Wickness at the beginning of November , Douglas posted it after a few days, Royal mail did the same and sent it to Holland and than, after a mont I contacted Douglas and he was very helpful and wrote that he would refund the money if the train was not delivered before X mas.

Wickness is a great shop. 

I phoned several times with Post.nl but no result. 

1 day before Christmas, the doorbell rang and the locomotive was delivered to me and, strangely enough, that happened without I had paid the VAT, etc.  Al ends well in the end.

Resume before Brexit a pakket was iat home within a week, now I waited 2 months. I don't buy online in England anymore and wait for the time that will come without Corona restrictions.

The J39 runs great on my Arduino wifi controlled through my phone.

Wicness did a great job.

It is no longer fun to buy a loco in England.
In the Netherlands we have to pay VAT and also customs clearance fees as well as processing fees to the carrier.
This applies to everything from outside the EU from 0 euro.
Example : bought a locomotive for 220 euros in England and had to pay a total of 53 euros for the above items.
Normally without corona I come to England every year but that is not so easy now.
So for the first time no new rail products from GB for me.
Build an English track in N, there is nothing for sale in the Netherlands for that, unfortunately.
So it's no fun on this side of the border either

Thank you for your photos,

as I look at them, I get a great longing for the actual station and Yorkshire.  Hope that after the summer and when everyone is vaccinated I can get on my bike again on the way to Yorkshire armed with camera, tape measure, paper and pencil

Thanks Martin

Nice you like it, do you know the station?

I will have a look at geograph.

Thanks for the beautiful pictures of the railway bridge.

But build a new more accurate bridge is not possible now.

Hope I can go to Richmond in the second half of this year.

Thanks everyone for your response.  You confirm what I thought how it worked, now I can continue building the crossing.  Glad you could also tell me which colors the lamp shows.

Henk

Hi

I am looking for help for the signal, square sign on pole with lamp, see photo.
What does this signal mean and how is it operated

Hi members

Subject is Broken Brea level crossing

This will be a new part for my modelrailway but i only have a few pictures of it till now

Thats the problem at the moment

So, I hope there are people who can tell me more about it.

Special the mesurements of the gates are not clear for me even when I looked to the picture.

Build the hut and house is not a problem.

I already build the electronic part with arduino for it .

Hope there is someone who can tell me more about it.

Hi

Let you know what I have of St Martins house till now

See drawing

Hi Chris

I also will build St martins house, do you have picture of that house from all side's or do you have a drawing of it.

I spent some time on your question of the gradient of the line and put it were it belongs are they a little help for you?

Greetz Henk

Hi members

Because it's not possible for me to go to England this year I hope that there are some members that will help me with my questions.

And there are members that already did ,thank you very much for that.

Chris wrote some time ago that he had place for a house along the railway, St Martins house, I have looked for that and it is also a nice building for my layout and I have space for that, also near the Sandbeck there was a pumpstation on old maps I can find the house and some small buildings with no name.

On the internet I could find 3 pictures of St. Martins house , 2 from the front and 1 from the front right side, the side to the swale.

Questions:  1: Are there members who had more information of the house, pictures of the left side and the backside.

                   2: Are there members who know more about the pumpstation.

The picture I have found  till now .

Greetz Henk

Hi Jim

Thanks for the attention you give to my questions.

Yes I have build that bridge from that picture you put on this forum.

It is a first try and when I have a good drawing I will make it again and spent much more time to it.

Greetz Henk

Alan

Thanks for all the time you spent for me.

Hi Chris

Some years ago I walked the most, were possible, the Richmond Branch line.

In my memory the highest gradient is were the line is near the river, were now is the camping site, see google earth, and than up to Broken Brea.
