Ted-ish

Ah! Well that makes far more sense, thank you.

Example page:

This is another one I bought, in addition to the one your recommended (yet to arrive).

Is there a guide on here (or elsewhere) on how to 'read' working manuals time tables? The first of my many items arrived - working manual (white pages) - and aside from the 'from and to' bit, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at! 😳

Grabbed it - thanks for your help with this!

Is that this one? - https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1902049559

Sorry, I should have said my layout (WIP) is based around Shirebrook maintenance depot in the late 80's. Coal obviously features heavily. However, I wanted offshoots to other areas in the Midlands represented by production facilities, terminals, yards and the like. I'm moving house later this year and will have substantial, dedicated space. Hence fortunate enough to be able to incorporate many areas (in N gauge).

These look excellent! Hopefully I can find one for my area and era. Thank you for sharing images, very interesting and helpful.

Thank you so much, I'll try and hunt it down!

Hi all, I'd really like to understand the nitty gritty of freight operations in 1980s. Sources, destinations, stops in-between and why. How signalling and hump yards functioned and their involvement in the process. How it all came together. In essence, I need a book or three (or video, website reference etc) that explains it so I can port that behaviour to my layout plans. Thanks in advance! ps: I've seen the waybaill and car cards used in the US, not sure if there's a similar system in the UK

I also finally finished my departmental Class 37. It's been worked hard, and as per many of the prototypes - it looks tired!

And behind the chimney stack, plenty of room to run rails:

Progress, the loft is now insulated and boarded. I've 16ft x 12ft to play with, which is good, about a 50ft loop. Velux goes in hopefully within a week, or so, as do full electrics and lighting. Not the greatest of photos, I was using a very poor light.

The station is looking really nice!

I stumbled across your videos at the weekend Michael, I didn't realise you had a thread here. Really enjoyed watching the construction of the bridge bracing, looks great - the layers really work to add realism and interest.
