The said passenger train arrives. from East Seacroft. Different views of Calder Railway loco 'Leefy' at the head of the evening goods train from Earlsheaton Junction bound for Leeds LNWR Goods Yard. Glencairn

Re: Steam Trains to Sovereign Street
A load has just been delivered to Town Tailors in a E Turner wagon.
The bus on the right has just returned from Dewsbury via Earlsheaton. I used to travel to Earlsheaton every weekend on such a bus.
At the level crossing is a Samuel Ledgard bus. I have travelled on many a 'Sammy' Ledgard bus.
The two shops at the crossing. ' Ladle's' used to be on Dib Lane in Leeds. It was our local grocers. Yager's is in Consett, County Durham. Get your pork sandwiches there. (No affiliation apart from a happy customer. ) Glencairn

Trains 'At the Junction'.

The K&ESR train at the junction The Calder Railway train. The goods train has right of way. The K&ESR passenger train continues to its next stop, Sovereign Street. Glencairn

Re: Steam Trains to Sovereign Street
Apart for more ground covering to freshen the appearance that trains run through scenery, little has been done modelling.
Here are a couple of pictures from the last running session.
K & ESR train heading towards Sovereign Street. Calder Railway train from Earlsheaton Junction passes a Northbound freight.

A bird has its eyes on some water.
Sovereign Street Yard. T&J Harrison's (Small Arms Manufacturers) have been busy as more crates full of rifles etc. are waiting to be loaded on the next wagon. Fluffy, the white cat, 'prowls' along the fence. Fluffy is too white. A touch of black paint is required here and there. Glencairn

Re: Steam Trains to Sovereign Street
A couple of alterations to buildings at Sovereign Street.
The station building has been enlarged by using a Metcalfe building and a plastic kit.
The Metcalfe Water Tower has a roof added. First, lollipop sticks were stuck on top. Then a piece of black card glued to the sticks. A ladder attached to the side.
The whole lot 'dirtied up'. The bird is not impressed. A source of free water has gone. Glencairn

Not much happening at Sovereign Street. Had the Grandchildren round to see their Grandma as she is not so well..
"Hello Grandma. Can we play trains Granddad? The big engines this time."
We gave 'The Berkeley' a trip around the layout.

No, Mountain, but thanks for enquiring.Mountain wrote:Is she better now?
It will be 'a long journey' for her. She has been a lot, lot worse a while back. This is (as we are saying) a minor blip considering.
