In a recent thread, I described my visits to narrow gauge railways in Devon and Dorset ( https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/narrow-gauge-in-devon-and-dorset.311930/#post-535529 ). One of my visits was to the Bursledon Brickworks, where I was impressed with the stream driven machinery and also by the simplicity of the brick making process. I decided that the PLR could have a brickworks. A bit of research revealed that there was indeed a brickworks in the area in which my railway is set - and also a Boneworks (turning out fertiliser and gelatine from not only bones but also elephant dung from Chester Zoo). I therefore decided it was time to add some more lineside industries to the PLR.
I've added a new siding to Beeston Castle station - and will now prpbably use the original shorter siding to serve a brewery
.
I've added another siding to Bulkeley station - which could serve either a Brickworks or Boneworks.
Before .....
...... and after
.
And I've added a siding at the foot of Gallantry Bank (just below Beeston Castle) which I originally thought could serve the Brickworks, but am now beginning to wonder if it could serve a sandstone quarry ....
.
Should keep me out of mischief over the winter ....
