LOL Ok so I was wrong it didn't take long I'm trying to build the stations before the end of steam using as many pictures as I can to work out the track layout of the station. So any help would be greatful.If you took away most of the tracks it would look alot like Nuneaton

Hi TLBlade,
Sorry this is a bit long winded but the site is very restricted to make you buy the maps. For a map of Nuneaton in 1938 try
http://www.old-maps.co.uk then type in nuneaton & pick the 1938 map.You wont believe just how much of the railway system that was there has gone.

Aye, your central library is also likely to have microfiches from which you produce A4 printouts.
Thanks for the help that really will come in useful as I'm like copying from maps as i have done in two of my other WIP projects the SDJR and the Swanage Branch.
Very nice While i'm on, Nuneaton station branch platforms were bullhead track while the other tracks were ordinary(don't know the name ). The station also had 2 signal boxes which were located at each end of Platform 1 (not sure).

P.s Scanning some pics in now

I don't know about the full thing about the track mostly on concentrate on the locos:hehe:.
There are also other resources i have seen that show a signal box in the yard across from platform Five.
You can see the signal box just above the Crab.
Hay jankvis Nice shots. But be careful I got it in the neck posting images of a Ty42 with PKP stock. I have been told by LNER it is ok to post images of foreign locos as long as they are a British soil with some English rolling stock.

some from my Pennine Route featuring the new WIP Bradford and carriage sheds
Ivatt 2MT tank heading for Huddersfield past the carriage sheds
Another day sees the same 2MT crossing the bridge on its way to the carriage sheds, the Rebuilt Royal Scot passing beneath came to the aid of a broken down English Electric Type 3
The Rebuilt Scot is seen further along passing the carriage sheds
and then pulling into Bradford Station
In this view we can see the Fowler Jinty tank engine performing its station pilot duities by pulling the empty stock out of the platform to release the train loco the engine nearest to the camera will take the empty stock to the carriage sheds.
The Jinty moves the carriages into a out platform next to the waiting 0-4-4 tank.
The duty performed the Jinty waits patiently for the next arrival.
I will continue this at some point, where more trains will be seen including a visitor from the Southern Region.

Great Shots TLBlade
Now the Southern Region visitor I thought I had missed had rumoured to have been seen on a night working into Bradford so I went down the next day to have a look and this sight met my eyes
A Schools class locomotive named Merchant Taylors, and here it was about to go off shed, now my limit that day was the other side of the tunnel but we shall follow the loco to there
Going over the crossing on the freight loop
Coupling to her van train ready to set off for Huddersfield
Leaving the goods yard
and rejoining the main line
on the out slow the train enters Bradford Tunnel
and then emerging on the other side before moving onto the freight only line (behind the camera)

An image based upon a photo by Ian Holt in a book called 'Isle of Wight Album' by G.M. Kitchenside.
The photo was originally taken on September 3rd 1966 and depicts the last view of a mainline Island steam train:
No.17 Seaview with set 500 approaches Sandown from the South.
I thought I'd better post it before that coffee stain has a detrimental effect!
