Lime Street Station Liverpool
 

Hello everyone,
My name is Peter and I am a new member of this great forum,
I hope to make a scale model of Lime Strret Station and I have been trying to get hold of any photographs of steam trains on the turntable at Liverpool Lime Street Station from the 1940's untill the end of steam, or just some photographs of the turntable on its own, I do know that there have been 4 turntables at Lime Street over the years, there must be some about somewhere, also any photograpghs of any steam trains around the Merseyside area,
I hope someone can help me,
Regards,
Peter.

Hello peter all i can say is Good luck !

Hi Peter and welcom to the forum.
I'm sure someone will have a photo or wil know which book you can find one in.

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the Forum.

I have memories of Liverpool Lime Street as a child in the late 40's and early 50's. Unfortunately no details or photographs.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Hello Peter and welcome to the forum.
I will continue to look through my books and let you know if I find anything but because of its overall roof and close proximity to the tunnels Lime Street was often neglected by photographers. In steam days most pictures were taken in and around Edge Hill where it starts to open up a bit.

Welcome to the forum Peter, and good luck with the model.:)

Hi all,
Thank you very much for being so friendly,
If anyone has anything I would appreciate it,
Best regards,
Peter.

Welcome to the forum Peter.
I know that Eric Treacy's books have a number of photographs of the tunnels in steam days.
Good luck with the project.

Peter,
Do you know how many turntables were in use at Lime Street in the final days of steam?
I have a book which contains an undated trackplan of Lime Street in LMS days and it shows 2 turntables.

Hi John,

I think there was only one turntable in use in the BR days,
I have a track plan of the early days of LMS and it shows I think 4 turntables two large ones and two small ones, is there any chance that you could send a photocopy of what you have to me so that I can have a look??

Best regards,
Peer.

I will send it to your email address Peter.:)
