I'm trying to find track diagrams of UK stations and yards from the era of steam, mainly because I want diagrams that involve local goods which doesn't really happen anymore.
Does anyone know any books or sites that contain trackplans from the steam era, I guess upto the 70s?
Its mainly out of interest and for inspiration.
I know of signalbox.org and its diagrams, but id love to have more, especially in books.
I found two books in the local studies area of my library, GER track plans no1 and no2, both of these appear to be very old books so are not for loan but annoyingly they don't cover Colchester or the area i'd love to have plans of. So yeah one area i'm really interested in is the Eastern region, Great Eastern and LNER. But in general any plans are good that give me an idea of prototypical layouts for stuff in my own routes.
I welcome your book/site suggestions or if you have any at hand you could scan i'd be extremely happy!
