Steam trains run in the new scenery.
The afternoon Leeds, Scarcroft & Wetherby goods train has the signal to proceed north to Wetherby.
A look up (or is it down?) the line. Calder Railway engine 'Leefy' with the evening northbound oil train.
A view from above. 'Clarice' the canal boat hugs the backscene.

OH, That question 'UP', or 'DOWN' !!!
Simple I'm told all trains run up to London ......... Oh yes ?
What about cross country lines that don't really run to the
capital ??
I'm told on the prototype you can tell by the telegraph posts,
which side the arms are attached .... Uhhh ????
Showing my abject ignorance again.

Re: Steam Trains to Sovereign Street
I was once told, UP was to HQ and DOWN was away from HQ.
Calder Railway HQ is at Earlsheaton Junction. Calder Railway run trains to Leeds.
LNWR takes over Calder Railway. Local LNWR HQ is in Leeds and runs trains to Earlsheaton Junction.
Earlsheaton Junction is Up and DOWN
Leeds LNWR Yard is UP and DOWN
Simples!!

A couple of more pictures from the running session
A LSWR goods train waits at the signal for the Calder Railway oil train to clear the junction.
Picture taken in front of the LSWR train.

Work began on Winterwood Manor and the land around it. The original Winterwood Manor is in Northumberkland, about two miles away from the old Border Counties Railway (north of Hexham). When my oldest grandson visits and runs trains, he stops trains at the Manor. A little platform was built.

Re: Steam Trains to Sovereign Street
Thats a great idea glencairn.
From what I've read, landowners would allow a line to be built on / through their land if concession was made for a small halt or station for the "Lord of the manor".
Thanks

No. Not tunnels or bridges. Simple scenery only.

A new platform being built.
--And in service. Lady Hazel is off to town and is about to board the private coach.

Ground cover for the plants at Winterwood Manor Halt.

And from above. The gardener has some tidying up to do.
