The LNER Encyclopedia

For my new OO layout im planning something with a NE theme, and having seen a couple of photos taken at beamish museum station wonder if anyone else has any more they cud send me copies and a rough trackplan, many years since i was there and the memory is a bit dim after all this time!

The few Beamish pictures I have are mostly of rolling stock, but here are a couple which may be of passing usefulness.

excellent, all going into meltin pot so to speak, hopefully the layout should look ok!

Use Windows Live Local to view the station layout.

Or you can use Google Earth as this has photographs

thanks for replies guys! all photos saved and studied! now working on track plan on living room floor! Cant wait to get it all set up and running, seems that hornby skaledale range will provide most of what i need buildings wise, does anyone know of any kits for NER signals and wagons?
also is there any companies that make easy to build coach kits, as only NER ones i can find appear to be etched brass! could always use ratio clerestory midland suitably re-painted if not.....

Model Signal Engineering at http://www.modelsignals.com/ do a wide range of cast whitemetal and etched brass components which will allow you to build pretty much any configuration of ex-NER signal, including the slotted-post type in the photograph.

Slaters at http://www.slatersplastikard.com/2,3%20 ... n_kits.htm produce excellent plastic kits of the definitive NER 20T hopper wagon and "birdcage" brake van. Complete with transfers, if I remember correctly!

Hi

C+L now sell the Slaters 4mm Hoppers and Brake van

51L(recomended) and David Geen do whitemetal wagons

Have a look at this it will give you some LNER/NER ideas
