Diesels at Crown Point.

#1

Post by glencairn »

With the demolishing of Glenburnie Station and Diesel Engine Shed a new layout is planned.

The new plan is not to have a station.
A new engine shed where the old station was.
More scenery added at the old engine shed area.

Work begins. --

Where is Crown Point? Answer -- Leeds.

Now both Diesels and Steam engines are in the same area. :D

More to follow.

Track laying at Crown Point is taking place (slowly). The pointwork works okay, but ordinary track needs replacing. I also need some track joiners. A trip to my local model shop shall have to be done.

Passenger trains can still run, M.G. My grandchildren have demanded it so.

Yesterday (9th Jan)

I was hoping to have the new engine shed area finished at the weekend, but my other grandchildren are staying here.

Track laid and tested. Diesels arriving and leaving okay.

Charlie Marston has 'moved to slightly larger premises. (At the entrance to the old engine shed.) He now has a railway line access to the network.

Still a lot to do. A new street to build and a school, plus ----. :)

What I thought would take a couple of days changing things round has become a major (to me) rebuild of the layout.
Here are a few pictures.

Three views of Charlie Marston's yard.

The new entrance by rail.

An overall view of the site.

A streamlined 4.6.0 languishing in the yard. It one of only two to be streamlined. Number 2859 is preserved at Llangollen Railway. I guess this one must be number 2870. :) I shall have a couple of prospective buyers looking it over soon.

Charlie Marston's house has also been moved. Agnes Marston is a bit so-so at the move. She has lost her garden.
