THE SCALEFOUR SOCIETY 18.83 LAYOUT CHALLENGE |
Woolworth Road by M
Evans (Sarum Finescale Group)
Originally conceived as pre-grouping
SECR/LSWR
with GNR/LNWR/GWR and Midland running rights. The layout has now been
pushed
forward to the 1950 to 1960 time frame, although the same regional
origins will
be there to be found.
The idea stems from Walworth Road depot and the Alexander Bridge,(both
now long
gone). The traffic envisaged will be tripped coal trains from the north
along
with general merchandise for the warehouse/factory /hidden sidings, the
main
lines will be mainly surburban shuttles, (originally push-pull/motor
trains,)
now perhaps 2BILs/2NOLs/2EPBs.
The intention is to have a working traverser in the depot, wagon
turntables by
the warehouse and quite a grand bridge, finished off with an elevated
signal box
just off one end.
