It looks like there are thirteen braking sections with loose vehicles on the move. Rather risky with a roadway crossing five diverging lines near the yard throat, I should have thought. Hi Alan, Yes the hump is at the west end. I assume this is the control cabin on the left: proviso3.jpg More about this yard is being discussed at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/handlaidtrack/message/6484 How likely is it that the same tracks and sleepers that were in the 1943 pictures are still in place 60-odd years later? Not very likely I would have thought, but it would be worth asking on the handlaid track group above. regards, Martin. posted: 16 May 2008 01:00 from: Bruce Wilson Martin Wynne wrote: Alan Pearmain wrote: Is it a hump shunting yard ...
