bruca1875 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hi. Waverley Route thread has been a bit quite lately. So here’s a few pics of my almost Gorebridge layout. Thanks 9 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Well now! What a first post by way of introduction! Wow!!! 'Almost' is being modest here, as anyone with a passing acquaintance of the original location will attest. Brilliant, absolutely fabulous; could we see more, please?

bruca1875 Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hi. My second post. Just a few more pics. Still have to get period stock and update headcodes etc. The last one was a bit of a dream! If anyone can help with a signal diagram before the signal box and crossing was taken out in the 60’s ? would be great. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Iain Mac Posted December 31, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Good evening, very nice modelling! Signalling plans wise I don't have scanned images but I've taken a couple of photos of A4 schematics I have which come via WRHA and specifically Matt (I hope you don't mind Matthew, but they are photo's rather than scans). The version dated 'up until 1943' is valid in the station environs until May 61 or there about, the version until closure in 65 suits after 61. Sorry to muck up your signalling requirements but you've included a double slip between the crossover and the down main/yard, it was a single slip completing the crossover and set back into the yard via the diamond portion from the up, no facing point on the main see. You'll require an additional dolly and an FPL.... Edited December 31, 2021 by Iain Mac 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shed64a Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I’m only a couple of miles from there and it definitely looks like Gorebridge to me. @Ian Mac on the 1965 signalling diagram could Reniston Colliery possibly be Arnistion Colliery, for the Emily or Gore pits? Wish I’d asked about the Lady Vic signal box when I was considering that model. That fell victim to over ambition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Iain Mac Posted January 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2022 It is indeed the long siding (parallel branch effectively) that ran alongside to Arniston turning north alongside the A7 at Shankbridge. I'd need ti check the maps at nls to see what association the name Reniston has locally, if any? It may just be a missnaming by the chap whom produced the schematics. I'm not sure if I've got Lady Vic box schematic. I could produce one from photographic records but I'd be guessing which lever was to which signal or rodding run whithout a photo of the frame itself. I've got right through that area drawn up and geolocated in CAD. Interesting to see the correlation between the new build and the original geometry as it was pretty heavily landscaped as a result of the new A7 alignment.

bruca1875 Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Hi. First of all thank you for the signal diagram. Thought I would post a pic! 1M91 The 11:55 dep from Edinburgh passes Gorebridge on the way to St Pancras. ( from the 1967 timetable) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
