Hi New pictures of bridge 7 hope these are better ones Henk

Hi New pictures of bridge 7 better ones I hope

Hi Chris and Alan It's been a while since I shared something on this website with you. My newly built attributes are a water column like this on Richmond was not quite complete yet, but at the beginning there is an attempt to build a signal bracket working and with light. the last light did not work but I have become wiser how to construct it so that later when I order the MSE or wizard signal etching I have a good idea how to make it. Finally I built bridge nr 7 here also money that it is not sure that it will stay in my job because I have worked from a few photos and some sizes that I noted several years ago using estimates, Maybe I will have the opportunity to get real drawings of the bridge then I will rebuild it with brass profiles this is made of cardboard and some wood Henk

Chris I don't know if I help you with the gradients of the Richmond Branch but I have this found in meters about see level: R station 100 meters Bridge 7 95 meters Brokenbrea 78 meters B o S near A1 72 meters After cittadella 68 meters Near Uckerby 58 meters Above North Cowton 50 meters ECML eryholme 54 meters Found these via Mapmyride Henk

Hi Chris I don't know from wich part you need the gradients of the railway line but this is what I could find for the line from the station till bridge 7

Hi Chis Today I was visiting the NER.org website and they sell a book about gradient profiles NER Gradient Sections, 1905 £4.50 NER Gradient Sections, 1905 quantity Category: Diagram Books Description Additional information https://ner.org.uk/product/standard-railway-equipment-permanent-way-1926/ I don't know if the Richmond Branch is in it but maybe you could ask around who has this book Greetz Henk

Hello Alan I thought I had responded to your message but I did something wrong so try again If you want to make the effort to contact your friend for a print of the bridge 7 drawing, I am recommended for a copy. May of course also be a photo of the drawing which I can print here. Thank you in advance for the effort you put in. I am already building and will post pictures on the forum soon, but with the correct drawings I will make the bridge again, it won't take that long p.s drawing of bridge 6 is welcome as well but less important to me. Greetz Henk

Hi Chris or other members At the moment I'm building the railway bridge near Easby Abbey and the Love Lane. A few years ago I took some pictures and roughly measured several sizes of the pillars. I also have photos of the model from the museum. Question: do you or someone else have a drawing with the exact sizes of that bridge or do jou know were I can find them because in this times it is not possible for me to go to England. Henk

Paul and Chris thanks for the information you give to me. It's a pity that there are not more pictures of the signaling of this branch line. I'm not sure what I will build now, we will see in the future the bracket signal on the platform gives me enough troubles to build in n gauge. Thanks again Henk

Hi Chris Tthank you for your response. When I got it in my head to build a model railway, I immediately thought it had to be one from Yorkshire and since I cycle to England every year, especially to a girlfriend in Brompton on Swale, I also often visit to Richmond and when I saw that beautiful station it had to be it. So I took my tape measure out of the panniers and measured the whole station engine shed and gasworks and made drawings of it. Back at home I started yo build it. I also discovered rmweb and bought the book North Eastern Branch Line Termini on the advice of someone from the forum and to my surprise all the buildings were drawn there in scale 1: 148. My measurements turned out to be good so I could continue building, but now I also had drawings from the goods shed. After two year I broke down everything because I moved to an other house and a 1 year an d a half I started again. Furthermore, many photos searched on the internet. The semaphores at the end of the platform two of them are slotted post but one not, when I look to the photos. I did try to build slotted post signal in n gauge but for the moment its to hard for me. Send a picture with the signal bracket at the end of the good yard it is not very easy to see and certainly you can not determine the place where it was exactly. This questions remain: place and what did it look like and what do those signals mean, do you or anyone else know? O yes a fiddle yard nobody in the Netherlands uses that it is almost typical English. Good that you mention it because I have to keep a place for that. On one of the photos you see a bracket signal with two arms that I have to rebuild , I have seen on flickr photos that it looked different. Hope there is someone who has an answer to my questions and otherwise I will ask them again on the signal forum. I will continue to follow very interesting and beautiful thread . cheers Henk

Hi Chris I am interested in your progress to build the Richmond branch. Since 2015 I am working on the same project but in n gauge and I also posted my version of Richmond station on rmweb in the card structure space. I am working on the signals now , especially the bracket signal on the platform gives me many difficulties to build. There is also another bracket signal along the rails, of which I am not clear, can you or someone else tell me how it looks and what it means. Cheers Henk Verzonden vanaf mijn Samsung Galaxy-smartphone.

And Alan thanks for your sugestion to order a copy of Catterick militairy railway, I will do that because everything about the Richmond branch is welcome to me. Henk

Sorry I wrote Allan but the reaction was for DLT Henk

Hi Alan have ooked at your contributions on this forum nice work in brass indeed. Many years ago I did the same and build some locos of the dutchs railways. The locomotor we call it goat in Holland. The steam driven one is a 8800 and it comes to Holland after the WW11 and it is still running at Stoom Stichting Nederland in Rotterdam.

Hi Alan When I visit England than I visit Brompton on Swale every time to see a friend who's living there. I have stayed a lot of time in the bunk barn by Chris and Rose. It's a beautifull station in Richmond and I can understand that it is a pity that you have not enough space in your shed to build it. Thanks for the offer to share the material with me but my girlfriend in B-o-S has already arranged a copy of the stationfilm for me in 2015, from the museum in Richmond, further I bought the book North Eastern Branch Termini writen by Ken Hoole. And when you are looking on internet you will find beautifull pictures of the subject BUT NEVER ENOUGH. At the moment I try to build the bracket signal on the platform but that is hard to make it working and with light in it. It is to small for all the details but my idee of modeling is when it is much to small to build leave it away so I will build the bracket signal but only with the uprights and not with all the cross connections in it.

Hi New pictures of my 2 mm Richmond branch model railway. Lot of people have to stay home at this time, so I have enough tie to put some new pictures on RM web. I work on it every day for a couple of hours. This time yoou also see the first semaphore signals in n gauge, home made, working and with lights. The ladders are not yet assembled to the signs because the are to fragile, even the signs are the post is only 2 mm square brass. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

918 pages impressive I have a lot to read. Nice modelling work and a lot of history. Thanks Henk

Beautiful Henk , is this 00?

I'm sure she is not a member of your model railway club Last days I'm working on n gauge semaphore signals The prototype is almost ready the lights are working now I have to develop the best way for the movement of it. Best wishes for 2020 for everybody on this forum. Henk

Jim I will visiting Richmond next spring when I will see a friend who lives in Brompton on swale I go to Richmond almost every year but next time I will buy some loco and wagons in England aswell. Thanks again

Thanks Jim I did visit the museum some years ago and have seen the model railway there. The circels are ground signals I think . I have to make a small study of Britishs signaling I think. Is it right that the semaphore signal at the end of the platform are starters aswel the semaphore on the entrance of the goods yard? Henk

Update with new pictures of my n gauge layout I build the buildings only from cardboard and paper the trees are made with a frame of metal wire. If someone has information about the signals used on richmond's yard then I will like to hear that. Greetz Henk

After my last post about modelling Richmond station in 2015, I moved quite suddenly. But now in a new space I'm again busy with the layout. Enclose a few photos, then I will read if there are any interested people.

Andy Andy I find it very nice what you offer me, I will notice it in my mind and will ask you if neccesary. In November, I visited the Head of Steam museum in Darlington (English) Greets Henk
