COMING UP WITH THE GOODS 4


Newsham goods yard is a hive of activity as the local pick-up freight has just arrived to remove the loaded wagons.

Model Rail issue 258 went on sale yesterday, so here's a few more images of Newsham Goods, a diorama created especially for this month's magazine.
A weighbridge and office was a staple of many a railway goods yard, allowing staff to charge customers accurately for the commodities being transported into or out of the depot.

The grounded van is a laser-cut wood kit from Ancorton Models and, although marketed as an allotment shed, it looks very much at home in a goods yard setting, as a cosy staff bothy.
