I mention trains running to Leeds Central Station. As the real station closed 1st May 1967 I have taken the liberty of modellers licence and it is still open. It was opened in 1854 as a joint station between the London and North Western Railway, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, the Great Northern Railway and the North Eastern Railway. It replaced the cramped LNW terminus at Wellington Street, which had opened in 1848 with the line to Dewsbury.

On the model layout trains from Earlsheaton Junction are mainly DMUs and go to Leeds Central

DMUs also leave Central Station and travel to Wetherby and York passing Roseville School etc. on the way.

Diverted trains from the south can and do pass Crown Point and Sovereign Street before arriving Leeds Central. Hence Class 55s are seen. :)

Diverted trains from Huddersfield and Manchester also use the line. Class 52s are the locos in charge. (I have had a 'soft spot ' for them ever since I was 16 years of age) (Rule number 1 applies)

The odd train is seen diverted on the 'Wetherby Line'

Diesel engines that are seen at Crown Point are refuelled if necessary and go to Central Station OR Balm Road Quarry Sidings for their next turn of duty. Now I have a great turn round of diesel engines which I did not have before. :D

All good fun!

Longer trains means Class 47 47423 'Sceptre' can be seen with the evening oil train winding its way through Sovereign Street as it heads north.

The interesting part about that scene is the track power point actually looks like it is meant to be there as part of the depot scene. It is in just the right place.

I was trying to edit an earlier post (like I can on a shipping forum I am a member of) but it didn't work, so I gave up. :oops:

Meanwhile -- "Five minutes of fun."
