Manningham shed Bradford

Coaling in smaller sheds was a mucky hard job

 

Bowling

Bowling junction was just north of Bowling

tunnel

 

 

Bowling junction allowed trains to run on to

Laisterdyke and Leeds without running down

into Bradford Exchange station

 

Bowling tunnel took the L&Y Manchester line

beneath Bradfords other model village of

Ripleyville and Bowling

Great Northern Railway into Keighley

 

Here the goods traffic left Parkwood Tunnel and

Ran down and under the Midland line into it's own

Goods yard to the west of Keighley station

 

The GNR Track bed from Hainsworth Moor Rd

down to the Junction with the Midland line, now

 the KWVR 

 

Somewhere beyond the bushes the passenger traffic

joined the Midland line for the run into Keighley

station

 

The Midland line, now the KWVR just below Ingrow

 

 

Where Ingrow East station once stood is now a

builders supplies yard

 

 

Scenes redolent of my childhood Ingrow KWVR

Far any lad fascinated by the railways small stations

such as Ingrow on the KWVR provided much to

look at

 

 

How we tried to emulate them with our OO layouts

Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

80002 pauses whilst the points are changed before

running back onto it's train in Keighley station

 

Lancashire and Yorkshire Raulway

I believe these to be of the L&Y Works at Horwich

though they may be Crewe

 

 

The boiler shop. The manual way a firebox plate

was rolled. No hydraulics there, just muscle power

 

Looks like the chain shop

 

Above the blacksmiths shop

Lakeside and Haverthwaite

There are a few about.

 

 

Many thanks to M Higgins

That steamy atmosphere again

 

A lovely excellently maintained engine

 

LMS Black Five steam is what we are about

Again that atmosphere

 

 

Steam is what it's all about.

 

Though in later BR days some had more steam

leaks than widow Twanky's Chinese laundry

Midland Railway 'Derby 4F'

Shrouded in steam an atmospheric picture

 

 

Steam cleared and simply simmering

 

Sorry about the shake

Blue prints Steam Locomotives

Believe it or not they are tee shirts available on Ebay

 

GWR Panier tank 15XX class

Little wonder they nicknamed them 'ugly duckling'

 

 

But everything was easily available to oil view

Getting a run out of the station

 

 

Building the power

 

Slipping on the grade

 

Many miles from home but a welcome visitor

LMS Black Five

It was a damp wet departure

 

 

But the footplate was warm and dry

A pull out of Keighley

 

 

But flies through Ingrow
