I expected the upoer sheets to simply overlap the horizontal ones at the "upper" end and in turn overlap the lower sloping sheets at the "lower" end. Maybe with a slight fall on the horizontal to encourage the rain to drain properly. Anyway I shall be watching how it's done with great interest!Peter Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020212199830779526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-33748226482845108982019-04-22T15:15:12.411+01:002019-04-22T15:15:12.411+01:00Brilliant blog - much appreciated by another OAP-W...Brilliant blog - much appreciated by another OAP-Way slave.

At the far end of P2 you can see the first signal cabin, in use only during the period the first trains terminated at Broadway while the rest of the line was built.<br /><br />During this period the embankments were still settling and as the south end of the Broadway platforms is made up ground the early platforms were made of wood at this end. Later the were replaced by traditional brick and slabs. When we rebuilt platform 2 we found the return from the original platform, visible in the picture.Jo https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480195769830116100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-59151099745632181092019-04-21T17:09:50.729+01:002019-04-21T17:09:50.729+01:00A really informative blog, thanks, the pictures of...A really informative blog, thanks, the pictures of the past and present show the fantastic job done in re- creating Broadway, interesting to note that the original platforms were partly in wood.<br />MalcolmNelson Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923635420542319012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-39229299600767627332019-04-21T11:15:47.543+01:002019-04-21T11:15:47.543+01:00Best heritage railway blog,by a street,marvellous!...Best heritage railway blog,by a street,marvellous!
