Knyoe Bridge 7mm O
Knype Bridge parcel depot is situated alongside platform 4 of Knype Bridge station.
It’s basically 2 sidings either side of a platform for unloading parcel vans.
Although the traffic is predominantly parcel vans the sidings can play host to anything from a light engine awaiting its next duty to a lowly engineers wagon placed for collecting rubbish or in conjunction with weekend work in the area.
A DMU service uses platform 4 as well as the platform being used for parcel traffic.
There’s usually a shunter knocking around brininging in vans for loading/unloading.
The layout is set in the period of the late 1970s early 1980s.
In reality it’s just 4 sidings being fed from a 2 road sector plate into a station environment.
It wasn’t built with exhibitions in mind just something to shunt around at home as the layout lives in my modeling room and is set up all the time.
Most of the structures are scratchbuilt from plasticard with the track being Marcway flexi track.
Control is analogue and utilises Gaugemaster equipment.
Locos and DMUS are Heljan and Dapol.
