The Chronicles Of Pentrich Sidings.

[Hobo]

Having posted some photo's of the Westwood & Loscoe Light Railway in its previous guise, I thought I'd start a thread to record progress on the re-built version.
It seems appropriate to launch the thread now, since the rails were joined to complete the new "figure of eight" TODAY

Brinsley Lodge already looks established, even though I only "planted" the buildings etc this morning!

and here's the bridge at Codnor Reservoir that made it possible to re-open the line!
Looking very "raw" at the mo' with plenty of work still to do on the bridge and the new water feature

I love that engine shed composition/layout particularly the short siding beside the shed looks just right to me. Any chance you could re-plant mine tomorrow morning? Another thread to follow - thanks.

Agreed, that engine shed area looks superb.

tiss very nice now.. nevermind when its done

 

[stockers]

Great - love the stone work.

Not a lot of progress since the last post, due to work, chores and "playing trains"
However, it now looks like Brinsley Lodge is ready to be re-opened as the lines running shed!

Now that is a well modelled interior.

Like that radiator, noticeboard and toolchest....

I was completely flommpxed as to whether it was real or not!

brilliant!

Thanks again for the encouraging comments guys!
I just thought that you might like to see an ex - Camberwick Green loco in its new home........

Frustratingly, the Civil Engineer has deemed the weather too cold to lay the cement based "Rowlands Mix" ballast on the final new section of the line, so all seems unusually quiet around the W&LLR......
Brinsley Lodge,

the Goods Shed & Coal Yard,

Westwood,

Codnor Castle,

and even The Works are virtually silent.

Loooove that shot of the village. :love::love:

 

[mike]

love the village!

 

[shropshire lad]

Great pics of a lovely looking line

 

[Nemo]

Nice, nice, nice and VERY NICE, in that order........

 

[garrymartin]

I love the shot through the trees, across the tracks towards thebarns.

 

[Hobo]

Thanks again for the flattering comments guys, I'm just itching to get something running again!
By the way Garry, those trees are actually Oaks I've managed to grow from acorns from the "Major Oak" in Sherwood Forest! There's another two in "Loscoe village" Regular pruning has Bonsie'd (real word??) 'em

 

[JRinTawa]

I agree, great atmospheric pictures.

More nice pics tempting me to build a shed for Camberwick.
