I am fairly condident that my Printer is Calibrated ok, yet I am having fairly big discrepancies over 3 A4 sheets joined together in Landscape origination.

They are screwed into the sleeper and the dog spikes go through holes in the plate.

... topic: 1100 Birmingham New Street Station Layout Plans c1938 posted: 8 Apr 2010 15:53 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, I am trying to obtain the layout plans of Birmingham New Street Station circa 1938 (or would be happy with plans between say 1934 to 1950 since, I believe the layout remained fairly constant throughout that period except for bomb damage and subsequent repairs). I am seriously considering this as a project modelled in P4 fine scale prototypical. I have already contacted Jim Smith-Wright whom you may ... of the station on this site. BTW, I proposed to my late wife on this station many years ago pre-1964, just before boarding the Glasgow sleeper. It was a dark dump of a place.

It's based on platforms 1, 2 and 3 of Manchester Central (mirrored) and the general idea is that if the terminus was always smaller, so perhaps it wouldn't have shut, and survived through to the 1980's.

... . posted: 17 Nov 2014 16:28 from: DerekStuart Trevor, if you look at the right hand road in the last photo', the signal box is just to the right of the dog leg. The rodding comes down the right side out of shot, before crossing the 3 roads to the area in question and then this one wire for the starter comes back along the platform edge. It certainly would be behind that rail. It couldn't go along the wall- so that's what I think it is- ... the running rail. Any turnout protected by it would not be able to be unlocked. The ones I am familiar with at Bodmin General were made of angle iron rather than rail which would be of a much larger section than needed. Tony.
