| Fourstones Quarry, Lime Works and Colliery |
I've been thinking about a lineside industrial focus for my British Railways era North Eastern region layout. A possibility is a quarry and limekiln served by a siding or yard. There are lots of lime kilns in the area and some were linked to the local railway system including some very large multiple kiln structures and some quite small individual kilns.

I think this would make an excellent focus for the layout and would be a very interesting scenic feature, perhaps combined with quarry traffic and general goods wagons serving the rural area. Anyway, it's just a thought at the moment and so I will do some more research to find suitable examples on which to base my plans.
There's a really good website too, which has loads of photographs and information from which to work out ideas:
