I take your point about No 16 being camera shy. There are two photos on the Warwickshire Railways site and it looks like No 16 became LMS 2309. I've stalled on my idea of adding nameplates because I don't think they will look right. The photos I've found show that the model is very accurate so perhaps the builder had access to drawings and pictures. The model was finished in 1978 and the builder has long gone. If you want to see my page on the loco the report is here.
Cheers,

Thanks for that. I'd very much like to see the general notes on Stratford you mentioned. Thanks again for all your help. You can contact me on valdick.bodily@btinternet.com

Thanks a lot John,
Any details on the trip workings to Old Town yard from the GWR, presumably 22xx worked?
I've also foundthat that the last goods at Byfiled was probably brought in from Woodford after the Stratford - Blisworth pick ups ceased and was steel rods for the building of the radar tower thing near Charwelton.
Blaklesley & Towcester coal merchants were still supplied by the continuing Blisworth - Woodford West pick up until late 63, possibly early Jan 64.

I wondered if you could help me in finishing my article about pick up SMJ line freights for the website by answering the following questions?
After the discontinuation of the Stratford-Blisworth pick ups were there any other pick up or local workings at the Stratford end of the line? ( I have quite extensive info on what went on east of Byfield)
Were there trips workings at any time in your memory from the SMJ to the GWR at Stratford or to and from Clifford Sidings?
Clifford Sidings remained open officially after the end of the Stratford - Blisworth pick ups, did any trains actually call there during that period?
Any details about working or locos would be much appreciated
All the best
Dick Bodiliy
