I’ve always been fascinated by the Woodhead route even though I’m too young to remember it, after scrolling through Flickr for hours looking at photos, I’ve always wondered why br took so long to dismantle the route?

I’ve been following this thread since the start, looking forward to seeing the finished layout, wish I had the motivation to start all my layout plans instead of stashing stock in boxes, keep up the great work.

I've started work on the area where BR wagons are scrapped. It's mostly parts of old wagons and kit spares. There's also a skip to take wood from wooden-bodied wagons. I've seen photos of wooden wagons being set on fire at collieries to dispose of the wood but I can't imagine that sort of thing would take place so close to buildings. I'll have more wood on the ground of the cutting site.
I’ve been following this thread since it started it’s amazing how far it’s come along in such a short time, keep up the good work Ruston.The wagon scrapping area you could have some grounded mineral wagon or van bodies, I’ve often thought of using spare Airfix mineral wagon kits on my own scrap yard layout If I ever get round to building it.

This is a stunning micro layout kevo, it’s amazing how it just feels and looks just right compared to bigger layouts.

Just been reading through this topic this morning and after a little search through google I’ve come across this https://www.flickr.com/photos/25691226@N07/15422663416/ if you read the comments it appears 76015 definitely was in use along with 76040!
maybe one of the two made it to man pic ?

Thanks for the replies, I may use the coles crane then, I’m sure I saw a picture on Flickr with a similar crane to the Dapol model at t j Thomson’s Stockton scrap yard

Hello
I’ve been playing around with a few ideas for a small shunting plank based around a scrap yard, most scrap yards have gantry cranes or some type of crane, I’m wondered could the Dapol dockside crane be used in a scrap yard with a little modification?
thanks

That explains it then, still seems a long time to keep a single line in situ that’ll never reopen again!
Fantastic image, I’ve always been fascinated by the pictures after closure of wire less gantries and trackless formations.
