Parkwood & Damems Light Railway
Parkwood & Damems Light Railway
Hello all,
Last weekend I ran my first 'test' trains on my line,although it's only a single track U it was still fun :
Edrigs Train
Under the decking
At the sight of what will become Hermit Hole station
Arthur Jones (my first fimo person ) coals up.
Feanor pics up the stock.
In the tunnel (under the decking)
Ready for the off from Hermit hole
While Edrig cools down
I like this picture
At the site of what will become one off the main stations, Parkwood
Feanor brings the last stock to Parkwood station
Best overview I could get, shows it's fairly small too, although they will be a branch of the left hand side for a short distance.
:D

More pictures from today. The first 'official' passenenger trains were run today. And because of the cold weather the staff couldn't be bothered to get a steamer out, so No.1 was out intead:
First Dom took No.1 'Owl' to Wood Bridge to pick up Bert the Guard.
At Hermit Hole, Bert was ready with his flag......
........So he climbed aboard and of they went back to Parkwood Station
At Parkwood station there was only one pasenger, a enthusiast, who promptly boarded the train.
And off they set
First stop Wood Bridge, but they were no passengers.
So off to Hermit Hole they went.
Enjoy
PS: need to get my people painted

Cheers, and yep, live in Keighley, overlooking the Keighley and Worth valley railway , unfortunatley I dont think any where near to anyone on here , although if any one lives near durham I'm up that way this weekendMDLR wrote:It's looking well (and I assume from the name you're in Keighley or somewhere near). I think you'll have to have a loading gauge somewhere - that tunnel under the decking looks VERY tight!
The tunnel is fairly tight, but fits my edrig fine, but will measure it this weekend and let you know
Thanks

Well, its time to say good bye to the old P&DLR. But don't worry, this is a happy end, its returning/rebuilding into a bigger and better line complete with peco trackwork!
The final steam train was run at the weekend, with No.2 Margaret and No.3 Jack.
Then the track was truncated!
The missing section! The fountadations can be seen on the left next to the garage. This will become a 'retaining wall' and have Parkwood station. The mound of soil at the front will become the area for the quarry.
The view of what will become the quarry area, the track on the left will contiue behind the tree to Damems station, the track that curves at the bottom of the photo will go, as the circuit will contiue down to the front of the tree and pass what will be the quarry and join on the line to damems.
The foundations for parkwood station.
I'll try and do a drawing or something to better explain things Exciting times at the P&DLR
