High Fulney's blog

Lower staging nearing completion.

Despite fighting the incursion of thigh high grass and keeping up with the vegetable garden, progress has been made with the lower staging.  I am now the proud owner of 6x15ft storage lines which have been tested for continuity and await the all important DCC test with the shorting instrument!

What I will have to make it look like

 

 Spalding with part of the yard circa 1970?

This is Spalding in about 1970.  I dont think that I will have space to house train lengths like this - it is probably an empties train made up from wagons that delivered coal to the adjacent sugar beet factory.  

This scene is long gone and the yarf is now a car park and the front of the station opens direct onto a main road.

All clean with the main road in front

Those track plans

Those JPEGs are awful.  I will have another try perhaps with the CTI schematics - sorry!

Brit OO guage in Italy

High Fulney is a work commencing.  It is to be a 28ft x 10ft (8x4metre) free representation of the tracks that once passed through the UK town of Spalding in Lincolnshire. This is to be built in a draughty old lambing shed next to the swimming pool 150m from the house.

Starting in 1848 with the arrival of the Great Northern Railway Spalding's importance as a junction rapidly grew until in 1890 the Midland and Great Northern completed it's E/W link from the Midlands to the important fishing and holiday town of Yarmouth.
