Can anybody point me towards pictures or diagrams of a rail weighbridge? I have a photograph of one at Watchet in Colin Maggs' book on the Minehead Branch but would like a bit more information so that I can model one. Regards, Adrian |

Google "Pooley weighbridge". Loads of pictures and diagrams. There are also etches available. | ||

Thanks for that Nigel. What I'd really like to know is how the gauntlet track was arranged so that locomotives could bypass the weighbridge. It looks like a loop but with the tracks overlapped and something resembling catch points at either end. Any ideas? |

Adrian Knights wrote: Thanks for that Nigel.Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you were looking for weighbridges in goods yards, non-rail based, as opposed to weighbridges for weighing railway wagons. Cheers Nigel |

That's great Rodney. I think the diagram will enable me to have a fair crack at it. Many thanks. Adrian |
