Vine St. Metropolitan Rly.
Vine Street (M.E.T) is based on the Metropolitan Railway’s Vine Street
Goods Depot and is rare among model railways in being an enlargement
of the prototype. The original consisted of two sidings holding 14 wagons.
Our Vine Street has a single platform as the City terminus of the sub-
Thames East London Line service to New Cross and New Cross Gate.
(LBSC Rly. and SEC Rly.)
There are three sorting sidings feeding off-stage warehouses, a brewery,
coal yard and The Atlas Iron Works. The Ironworks is up a 1 in 30 incline,
which requires the services of the Longbottom eight-coupled tank
“ Lucknow “ to haul the iron ore hoppers up it. The coal yard has the use
of “ Delyth ” a six-coupled Cudworth & Johnson rebuild. A MET tank as
station pilot does the rest of the shunting. No run round loop is required due
to ample provision of MET Tanks. The period is cunningly chosen as those few
months in 1912/13 when the third and fourth rails were in place but the
current hadn’t been switched on due to inter - railway politics so the New Cross
trains are steam worked. The Great Eastern makes an appearance via the
connection at the end of Liverpool Street station and the LBSC Rly. Via.

“Yes it will be, it will be.” Replies
