    Identify a SE London station

    The picture shows the old Up and Down Fast platform ( since demolished and the lines straightened out for the 1976[?] re-signalling ) and the good yard ( which is now buried under the rising embankment for the Fly over ). If you look at the far left edge of the picture you can see the current Platform and the Jnc Signal Box and in the Top distance is the repaired bridge carrying the Nunhead to Lewisham route following the Disaster.

    Very good to see George and his support crew today venture South of the Watford services.

    George has let slip the next Masterpiece that will be on the way soon, I'm sure Nobby will have a Trade show to go to on its debut though!!

    Godstone Road - Platforms and 3rd Rail

    At he risk of being shouted at again .... my reply was in reply to the OP from my original reply regarding the signals at Bromley North where I had found, via a Flickr search a colour picture of a class 73 and 8 TC rail tour that had visited Bromley North in 1979 and it showed the assembled tour participants  thronged around the London End of the platform taking picture of the said locomotive and Train, it also showed the signal that was being asked about at that time.

     

    The OP asked a few questions in his reply to that posting and I replied in order to him in my previous reply.

     

    Here is the flickr link to the specific picture that myself and the OP were discussing in that posting  .... https://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelmenzies/23119070384/in/album-72157660059551974/

     

    My Information on the positioning of the Ex Hayes signal box is correct however and in the only picture of Hayes in this thread you would be very hard pressed to actually see the signal box controlling Hayes as it was a NX panel in London Bridge at the time and is now Controlled from TBROC!

     

    With that said I shall gracefully retire from the thread and enjoy the sights of London Bridge and TBROC controlled signals for the next 9 odd hours in peace and quite.

     

    To The OP good luck with your layout build it shall watch on with interest on this project.

    Lovely album, is it yours? You even got the signal box at Hayes - which I may shamelessly steal depending on how I nail down the era for the layout - maybe a swap-in section for Bromley North's plate layers hut depending on the era.

     

    Hi, No it's not my Album, turned up the picture on a Flickr search.

     

    Yes, the track layout in that picture is as it is currently.

     

    The "Hayes" Picture isn't Hayes, I Believe it to be Addiscombe box. Hayes Box was to the left side of the Up line much where the Relay room is today.

     

    The platform Curves the wrong way and the industry is where the road under the railway and Football fields are at Hayes!!

    I notice the OO flexitrack has disappeared from the website (in my case I am after the deep, grey sleeper bullhead HiNi rail product code E4FT OOBHx20GREY). Has this gone to Exactoscale who seem more interested in the P4/EM lines than the OO?

     

    My impressions of Peco Bullhead were not good - sleepers at odd angles like crazy track, yellow nickel silver rail and hollows under the sleepers so I could not cut them short to equal the width of short radius point sleepers.

     

    Thanks.

    Dave,

     

    Don't do it, you really don't have the time to divide your focus yet again.

     

    Your paying to be on here with your own area, let the moderators on here do a job that your paying for, rather than you trying to do it.

     

    Draw a professional line in the sand and keep all interactions about DJM products behind that line!

     

    Use your time to focus on a couple of projects ( max !! ) at a time and use that time to move projects on rapidly to the various stages you have set as markers and only announce news then for that project.

     How did you get the ZCA "Sea Urchins" BTW? Cambrian offer a ZCA but it's an OBA conversion. I done a lot of headscratching on how to make the VCA/VDA van conversions :scratchhead: .

    Hi Jules,

     

    The ZCA's pictured are Resin, Whitemetal and Etched Brass kits from S-Kits

     

    Hope This Helps.

    Any chance of a link to the Shapeways shop please, I can only find a N gauge 3 pack on there.

     

    Many Thanks
