Looking at LSD today and how it is starting to work / operate with the extension, I think I need to add small passenger halt for the workers / lococrews. This will then allow me a valid reason to run the push pull sets / single coach, onto LSD. Kim
A small platform would be an ideal thing for the industry’s of Lord Street to get workers in on mass and give another’s bit of operational interest and link to the extension
Hi Chris, I’m thinking perhaps a small GWR pagoda for shelter from the rain, like this:- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_pagoda_platform_shelter Plus a couple of walkways across the track to the main buildings ( Depot and the engine shed office) Kim
Hi Kim, Basic dims are below The 'Type A' Pagodas were 20ft x 8ft, height to eaves also 8ft. Not sure of the height to the ridge (prob another 5ft or so) as the drawing in Vaughan doesn't seem to give it. The corrugated iron had a 3in pitch. Dodgey Roger
Hi Kim, Attached are 2 jpg prints of a standard pagoda 20'-0" I have produced from an "O" gauge photo I found on the net in a Turbocad Drafting Program.The pics are in proportion and dimensions can be scaled from the 2nd pic. The Dimension 140mm is the size in "O" gauge. Regards, Dodgey Roger.
Hi Kim, A pic found on the net they may be of interest Rope and Capstan Shunting (Kings Cross) Perhaps an Idea for LSD. regards, Dodgey Roger.
