| B&M 1572-1575 cross the diamond on Oct. 25, 1967. It is not often one see the back of the frt. shed. I had modeled the roof a charcoal tone which I see is a lighter grey here in this view. Guess I best pull out my PanPastels again. The freight house was torn down in the mid-2000's. |
I want to thank Ted Houghton for allowing me to post his photos of Rockingham. Ted was quite fortunate to catch action on his visits and on one occasion two train at the diamond at the same time. I have visited this location once in 2016 with Don Janes. It does not look anything like what we see in these views.
This location can be easily modeled with kits of both B&M structures available from BEST models. I have already built the freight shed, now to track down the station. I am not sure how I will display them once completed. Maybe a diorama or maybe included on the layout...George Dutka

Hi George. Any photos from your 2016 visit? You know how I love 'Before and After'. Also, where were the elevated shots taken from? Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Keith If you use the search on the right lower side and put in Rockingham you will see the photo I took. There was two overhead bridges for the highway. The road past the station is now cut into two dead end roads and one bridge is gone. A newer overhead bridge has been built and road diverted.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks George. I didn't realize that there was a search button! As my grandmother used to say; 'You can learn something new every day'.
