Nothing to do with South Pelaw or the Tyne Dock line but a friend of mine, Mick Worral who runs the Durham Trains of Stanley model shop, is building a model of Eastfield shed in Glasgow as it was in the 1980s. At around 70′ * 25′ it’s a monumental undertaking and here a few photos showing the layout which is still under construction with a lot more work to be done…
Wow! I spent 9 years in BR’s vehicle commissioning team in Derby from April 84 so this takes me right back having spent many, many months at Eastfield and working up the west highland line on the very locos shown in the model, the refurbished 37/4’s, going on later to the 37/5’s, 6’s, 7’s 8’s and 9’s all across the country.
Fabulous. It would be good to see further pictures as the layout progresses.
