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

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!
