I'm now looking into designing Stechford just along the wcml from Birmingham new street with a handy little junction to Aston and beyond. I've been using the planning portal images in Templot and I've got a plan in there, although it doesn't quite match up consistently along the image, i'm firstly interested to know if I've got the pointwork to a correct size. This will be P4 and I'm looking to create a spot on copy as much as is possible. So it would be nice to work out what the pointwork actually is. Now with FB rail the main station exit to junc crossover that seems to fit the pp plan works at out a CF17. Fantastically long points the crossover itself works out at a little over 4' long.

Seems to still have a number on the buffer beam, or the remnants of one. And something indistinct but could be an offset number on the smokebox. Nigel posted: 3 Nov 2007 04:20 from: Phil Hi all First posting and all that !! I believe that quite a few yards had a hump for shunting, even places like Stechford, between Birmingham New St and Coventry had a small hump many years ago. From what I've seen these humps tend to be quite near to the main line too. Just wondering whether this was such a shunting hump mebbe? Cheers Phil posted: 3 Nov 2007 13:14 from: Jamie92208 Hi Phil Yes many yards had humps for shunting but after further looking at the photo I didn't get it quite correct in my previous reply.
