I believe this coaling plant was the prototype for the Superquick kit.
These images are all part of the current (albeit slow) planning for my new MPD layout.
If anyone would like a larger higher resolution copy of any of the images, please let me know.

I'm a bit out of practice on Photobucket. The album should now be 'public'.

Great to hear from you again Perry. Because of you one or two of us have started a bit of scratchbuilding and are thoroughly enjoying it but we need you back on here on a regular basis. Come back soon.:thumbs

I'd almost given up hope of seeing you back on here again, but you are probably the most welcom "reternee" theres ever been.
Thanks for the photos, like Les, it's made me realise how big these things actually are.

It's good to hear that more people have started scratchbuilding. I hope I'm not responsible for too many cut fingers and swearwords!
I doubt if I'll make much practical progress on my railway before the start of winter now, as I have many other things going on at present - most of them good!
I'll still visit the forum in the meantime, though.
Cheers for now,
Perry

Planning the layout has hit the usual 'wall' insofar as I'm having a job squeezing in everything I want to. This in turn makes it very hard not to make the layout too cluttered; I don't want the entire baseboard surface covered in track. I want plenty of space for buildings and scenery (scratchbuilt, of course!).
It woud be easier if I just wanted a little narrow guage line, but I don't. It has to be BIG locomotives, sheds, coal and ash plants, the works. I'll get there eventually, and I'm still having fun kicking ideas around.
I'm busy with other projects at present but the layout - and this forum - is never too far from my thoughts. It's good to see the familiar faces are still here.

It is good to know that your are still around. Who can forget the Great Eastern Goods Shed epic and the other projects that you shared with us on the forum. I only hope you are able to start posting again soon, but whatever you are doing good luck and it is great to hear from you once more.

Bob, would you prefer me to upload the Carnforth images to the gallery or are you happy with them on Photobucket? I don't mind either way.

The images may look similar in a lot of cases, but I tried to get as many angles and details as the local circumstances would allow. It involved quite a trek as the railway does not allow any access to these structures. I was poking about in field, lanes and public footpaths to get these shots and they were all I could manage given the circumstances.
They are not meant to be decorative images, purely reference shots for model-making purposes.
How's this for a challenge: how about super-detailing a Superquick Coaling Tower kit using what you can see on these pictures?
