I am planing a New layout heres the background to the railway
Longroyd Bridge & Bargate Railway
History of the railway.
The Longroyd Bridge & Bargate Railway opened in 1899, just 9 months after the L&BR. The railway was built to move wool around the Valley .
At the opening of the railway, the line ran from Linthwaite goods via Titanic mill to the Globe mill, with a branch off to James Dyson Ltd Dyeworks & George Cook Ltd Longfield Dyeworks, running down Manchester road.
Quickly the line expanded up & down the valley with most mills having at least one siding, with the Titanic mill having the largest yard
At 1st coal for the mills boilers were transferred into narrow gauge wagons, but as the line got bigger the amount of coal moved was taking to much time. So the railway ordered some transporter wagons to move the standard gauge wagons.
The Longroyd Bridge & Bargate Railway added to some of the rolling stock orders, that the L&BR had placed. The only differences were - the coaches were in Varnished Teak livery. Also the locos were from other loco builders.
After WW1 the railway bought ex-WD wagons.
The main traffic is - chemicals/dyes & wool products that came in & out of the local mills & dyeworks plus coal.
When the L&BR closed is 1935, the Longroyd Bridge & Bargate railway picked up some of the stock from the scrapmen that attended the sale.

Shall follow this with interest. No connection with the James Dyson who makes vacuum cleaners (nearly said Hoovers!) then?

not that i know of James Dyson Ltd Dyeworks was going when i was a kid at the end of the road
It's nice that you - like, I suspect, many of us - are incorporating some personal history and memories into your railway.
Given your undoubted modelling skills I'm surprised that you are buying R-T-R coaches!! But I guess it will save time and no doubt you will run plenty of handbuilt stock as well.

All of a sudden it looks VERY different! That's what a backscene does to a layout.
Good idea to fit the backscene before you build the scenery. You'll be able to tailor the foreground scenery to the backscene.

I have also built the left hand loft fiddel yard & a tempory right hand one on the next board so i can play train at the same time as working on the scenics
Tomorrow i hope to wire up the layout
Hello Brian and a happy new year.
The model is coming along nicely, but I am intrigued by what looks like a load of coal in the background at the right hand end behind the mill, are you putting a real steam engine in the mill ::) or having loco's in steam ;D up there?
I can see the slope of the roof, so you're not in a cellar, so obviously, you are not storing coal in a loft, so put me out of my misery and tell me what it is piled up there.
Kind regards,
BrianT.

Its the deviding wall in the Loft & is what the house is made from cast concrete its called Wimpey No-fines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimpey_no-fines_house
today i have wired up the track & it all works
Thank you Brian for the Wiki link, very interesting, we had a lot of Pre-Fab's around us.
Congratulations on the wiring up.

BrianT.

Big Change of plan

I will be using the same track & buildings
