  1. A few pictures of one of my 4mm scale signalboxes, this is a close copy of Springbank West No2 Hull & Barnsley Rly 1907 to 1944. Though demolished in 1965 as late as c2001 I was able to measure the surviving foundations and construct a working drawing. Plastic through out, apart from the handrails which are soldered brass wire.
  2. Russ, here is the Paragon layout and signalling, has you can see P61 signal only had one route, hence no Route Indicator. Yours, Mick.
  3. There was at least one steam hauled Ballast Train out the night steam finished, engine back on shed sometime Sunday, somewhere I have more details.
  4. Several of my buildings put loosely in place, nothing finalised, just seeing how they may look.
  5. A couple of quick "Grab Shots" of work so far, this elevation is no complete but needs some work on the colouring, for example the green needs to be let down, too bright and pristine. Gravytrain, you will notice I have gone up market, and I now use a can of "Posh Beer" as a model stand, previously it was "Stone's Bitter" or a bean can.
  6. Balne Moor H&BRly, 1885 to 1959. Attached diagram shows the layout as installed and is from the c1904 Diagram Book. A few years later, a siding was added and a new locking frame installed. To accommodate this, the operating floor was extended, see photo',
  7. The basic assembly is now near complete, but still a very long way to go.
  8. A c1957 derailment at Hull Beverley Road. As was the practice then, the remains of the damaged wagons have been pushed to one side, "We have trains to run, we can do the paperwork another day".
  9. If you wish to scratch build drawings were in a late '60's Model Railway Constructor.
  10. Hessle Quarry and an unidentified Austerity, heading a load of chalk destined for Wilmington cement works c1966.
  11. 90352 with Up Empties, passing Cave Crossing's Up Distants, c1966.
  12. Bob, you won't be disappointed with the NERA book, it is excallant value.
  13. Do you have a copy of North Eastern Rly Signals published by the NERly Assoc? A very worthwhile publication, full details on their website, you don't need to be a member to buy.
  14. I have looked at several photo's, and yes the main stem is sometimes carried throgh as a Doll, so no problem with your model. Mick.
  15. Robert, he is "The Trainman" he would accompany any train to and from King George Dock to Saltend, he was employed by the Docks Board and in railway terms was a Shunter.
  16. 90009 and 90450 double head off King George Dock Hull, early 1967.
  17. The basic shell is now assembled, front side and back elevations shown, the two sides are identical.
  18. Six or more months on I'm now back to Gilbert Lane, my latest effort being an office building, this is based on one once to be found at Hull Springhead. A drawing and photo' attached, hopefully I can get the part built model outside for a few pictures Tuesday.
