Evilcrow , Hate to be a bother, but I can't seem to find those Red and Cream manunells on the dls. Where did you find them? or who made them. thanks for you help.
Hello Matt. The quarry is made up from various bits and pieces from Sherman Hill and the DLS.
The centrepiece being the loader that you can get from Trainzportu at https://trainzportu.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Descargas .
Incidentally there is also a steel mill available that would not look
out of place in the USA giving a nice excuse for a forthcoming PRR 2-10-0 to visit!
The screenshot is my WR branch of my SR extension to the Porchester route by rumour3.
The N.E.R's Amble branch in rural Northumberland circa 1918.
A TW Worsdell NER B Class 0-6-2T takes a coal train from the coal loader near Amble Junction bound for the coal staithes at Amble Harbour. Coal traffic would dominate the branch right up to closure in 1970.
A W Worsdell NER O Class 0-4-4T takes the branch passenger train away from Amble junction bound for the branch terminus at Amble station. This would be an early casualty due to bus services. They were beating the LNER's train timings to Morpeth and Newcastle as early as the mid-1920s. A Sunday bus service did not have a train to compete against, cleaning up all traffic on offer. The LNER closing scheduled passenger services on the branch in 1930, over thirty years before Beeching arrived on the scene.
