Perhaps, but half of them ‘got off around the track’???

David, I love the industrial scene. Looks like a bunch of old engines in the scrapyard? How did you model that, just with empty shells?

I wanted a scrap yard that was different to what I had seen on other layouts.
Old plastic locomotive kits about to be broken up; unless there is a possible purchaser. Charlie Marston’s Salvage Yard was born.

That all has a Harry Poter look about it. Cool!

Operating the layout has been fun, but challenges have arisen.
Leeds Sovereign Street Station has only one platform which has hampered train arrivals as rolling stock has grown.
Clarence Dock is not used to full potential.
Changes to be made.
Sovereign Street to be where Clarence Dock is.
Part of the dock to be retained and changed to Sovereign Basin on the Leeds Liverpool Canal (as in real life).
Old Clarence Dock Goods Yard.
New Sovereign Street Station (It has two platforms)
Remaining dock area now Sovereign Basin.
Still a lot to do around the station.
Then redo the old Sovereign Street Station to something else. Not sure yet.

I’m a little tardy to the party but, have you seen the download and print kits at Scalescenes.com? They have some pretty neat stuff and their kits are easy to modify.

Yes, Penny. It is not in the style of Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway smaller railway stations. They had (with the London & North Western Railway and North Eastern Railway) built Leeds Central Station.
Leeds Sovereign Street was a route out to eventually reach York on their own trackage. Unfortunately The Great War intervened and the L&YR only got as far as Wetherby. Thus the line became a ‘backwater’. Only Rule 1 has it busier.

Scenes on the layout.
A train of gupowder wagons heading south. The PBA boxvan is a Port of Bristol Authority one acting as a barrier wagon.
Three open wagons bound for Burmantofts (an area now part of Leeds)

An empty wagon between the locomotive and wagons carrying gunpowder, or ammunition, or oil tankers. It gave the locomotive crew a chance to escape if anything happened.

Thanks, David. That’s what I thought, but I needed your confirmation.
