No new images Bolton Abbey

Bolton Abbey is an estate in Wharfedale in North Yorkshire, England, which takes its name from the ruined 12th century Augustinian monastery now generally known as Bolton Priory. It is adjacent to the village of Bolton Abbey. The monastery was originally founded at Embsay in 1120. Led by a prior, Bolton Abbey was technically a priory, despite its name. It was founded in 1154 by the Augustinian order, on the banks of the River Wharfe.

Around My Model Railway Layouts

"Gauge" and "scale" are used interchangeably in the hobby; however, this is not correct terminology. "Scale" refers to the size of the model and "gauge" is the width between the insides of the track rails. For the sake of clarity I refer to the layouts with their scale names, not gauges.

Along The Whiston Incline

Originally, it was thought that steam locomotives would not be able to climb the incline without the assistance of rope haulage and work began on the construction of a line-side winding engine. The success of the Rocket at the Rainhill Trials eliminated the need for both winding engines planned for the Sutton and Whiston inclines, so they were never completed
