Good Morning folks.
This update, has been many months in the making, with help from google and from people I worked alongside with in the 80's at Nene Valley Railway.
Photo's of the actual layout that I want my Preserved line section to be modelled on are very scarce, but maybe someone has some pics of Wansford Station and Yard from around 1980-1983 ?
Which is the time period I will be covering.
Altho the layout I hope will be like for like, due to lack of some Locos ETC I will have to mix HO with OO. and will almost certainly not be 100% accurate.
The Preserved line will only be one part of my layout, but it will be the 1st part to be built.
My main issue is from the A1 bridge to the start of the River Bridge, I am just over 13" short of space in the attic!
So I think a little bit of licence, will have to be used, especially as I would like the line to continue at both ends, if possible.
Wansford 1980.
Altho this pic is a bit early and the part built building on the left of the loco shed is not yet built.
This pic does give me much information as to track layout and positions of various buildings.
If you have a pic behind the loco shed, that covers the lathe room, floor standing carriages, coal pit and loading & finally the water tank n filler. please email me at mr_creature@hotmail.co.uk with your details and I will add on here with your names.
Wansford Tunnel.
I would love to have this included in my preserved line of Wansford Station/Yard, But There is just no room, I am around 5 feet to short of space.
But all is not yet lost, But I cannot make my choice yet, until we have started the layout and have the tracks roughly in there correct places.
