Liverbird81 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hello modellers I'm looking The most up to date Track Plans of York Rd Depot from Duncrue M2 bridge to depot and up incline to Yorkgate Station. Thanks in advance Quote
0 Liverbird81 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry for the wrong info it's not Duncrue M2 it's Fortwilliam Bridge/train care fascility Quote
0 Dunluce Castle Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Google maps will give you an up to date track plan in so much detail, Quote
0 Liverbird81 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Any idea of the length from Fortwilliam to station. I got 8 good pictures on my iPhone with all the track detail included Quote
0 Liverbird81 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Anybody know what gradient the incline is leading up to Yorkgate St Quote
0 Kirley Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Any idea of the length from Fortwilliam to station. I measured it today using my car milometer, its 1 mile from the Roundabout to York Rd Station. If I've got it right that would mean in 4mm scale a length of 21.12 meters! Quote
0 josefstadt Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Google Maps has the distance from the Dock Rd bridge (at the Central Station end of Yorkgate's platforms) to the roundabout end of the slip road off the motorway at Fortwilliam as 1.4 miles. In 4mm scale this would equate to a length of 29.57 metres! Quote
0 Dhu Varren Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Anybody know what gradient the incline is leading up to Yorkgate St I believe the gradient at Yorkgate is the steepest on the network, if not in Ireland. In which case, according to http://www.translink.co.uk/Documents/Corporate/publications/Translink%20Network%20Statement%202015.pdf the gradient is 1 in 65. Quote
0 jhb171achill Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 That would equate to two short stretches of line which jointly held the steepest in Ireland for 5ft 3 in the past. One was a short stretch just beyond King Magnus' Grave at Downpatrick, and the last quarter-mile approaching Hillsborough from the Knockmore Junction direction. They were, I think, about 1:65. Quote
0 Liverbird81 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 That's a big section of track for a layout 70+ft wow some shrinking needed as I only want this layout which will run end to end to be one side of my garage. Il send all the still shots to David they are crystal clear and show all the detail. And hopfully he can shrink it down to te required length. Once again guys many thanks.

0 Liverbird81 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 I was considering it but I've just got the wife to agree to letting me get a layout never mind a bigger garage although a divorce might not be a bad idea either Quote
0 DiveController Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I was considering it but I've just got the wife to agree to letting me get a layout never mind a bigger garage although a divorce might not be a bad idea either Appeal to her home economics. The garage extension will be cheaper than the divorce so you'd be saving money:rolleyes: Quote
