  1. Lively Polly at Wellington Dock on the Overhead Railway. The bridge behind was the L&Y Rly High Level Coaling Railway to Wellington and Bramley Moore Docks.
  2. My latest acquisition from a well known auction site:
  3. Amateur film of the LOR from the NW Film Archive: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-liverpool-overhead-railway-1893-1956-1956-online?fbclid=IwAR0oXF3dJZ0duR1nSFFF4hVqVf13NHzEq8eo9t1qSMfGqpkEQa5ypJKGnHI
  4. The LOR employed a Ruston for engineering work trains, replacing Lively Polly. Information on colour/livery seems non-existent? So perhaps something like this image is a reasonable guess? Copyright Idle Drifter, photographer unknown.
  5. https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-employees-leaving-alexandra-docks-liverpool-1901-1901-online?fbclid=IwAR0h6udU_HNgcbRECf7qGqaSAMbJzUAD5hL70dX97YQSQEx7zC7MmvOCmwA
  6. I'm delighted with Richard Ellis' work (Monks Gate Models) constructing the Judith Edge kit of the LOR structure.
  7. A big day as the LOR structure is put in place, and it fits! Courtesy of Monks Gate Models and Judith Edge kits.
  8. I was pleased to see your York photos on social media, including the GOG. This is a very unusual project and I can see why it appeals to the crowds at Shows. It's been interesting to follow progress over the long term and I look forward to catching up with the diorama at a future show.
  9. Progress with the decking of the Overhead Railway, courtesy of Monks Gate Models. The demolition picture shows the 'construction' method.
  10. Aerial view of Princes Dock from Bibby's Waterloo Corn Warehouse, with the MDHB workshop just visible (bottom left).
  11. A Jinty hauls a rail tour towards Riverside Station while a Pug trundles along the MDHB main line with a freight transfer between the BR goods depots on the other side of the dock road.
