Love Lane, B.R. (E) c.1956-59

[S-Club-7]

Today saw the last of the chairs added to the trailing crossover at the entrance to the country end of the fiddle yard (details same as the facing crossover shown previously):


Meanwhile, looking in the other direction we see @Oz7mm adjusting some slightly oversize baseboard framing:

Templot informs me that the curve through the C9 crossover by John's elbow and past the goods yard is over 57m radius - that's about 186½ feet in old money - tightening to 94 inches part way through the B7 crossover nearest.

The chairs for the C9 have been drawn. They "just" need assembling into a sprue and some 3D prints made. Likewise for the B7 and single slip seen above.


Then it just needs wiring, stretcher bars, servos, uncoupling magnets, scenery, and the rest of the goods yard...

Not long off the drawing board, what will be the granary with it's own private siding at the end of the goods yard.



No, it is drawn square, the camera lens has distorted the image

It's based on the example, still extant, at Bishop's Stortford.

Not so much a S7 question for you all, but an F5 query.
There is a handle and a control wheel on the RHS of the cab. Do any of you know how high they should be ? I've made them long, just in case.

This will give you the answer Ian.

A nearly complete crossover, the work of Dave Rayner @ S-Club-7, on the section just outside the station throat. The main emphasis on the Love Lane rebuild has been to get the main line complete so that running can resume whilst the other works are carried out.

A diversion from the track building has been the start of construction of the goods shed.

The interior floor or 'bank' with the crane base fitted.



Boards fitted and shed wall components just stood together as a mock up for a quick visualisation before final assembly.
The interior will be detailed, painted, distressed etc before assembly.
Very much a joint effort with nearly everyone involved.






....and a mock up of the loco yard which will be positioned where the old coal yard was, a lot more work to be done yet, a pit for starters.

The pointwork is particularly impressive. Also the AEC flatbed lorry interests me. Kit of rtr?

The AEC was a kit, Classic Commercials. Dave Parkins now has the moulds, ex-ABS, and will no doubt be planning upgrades to them.

I donated the model to the Love Lane crew.
