Electric train staff equipment had been brought into use between Blisworth and Towcester by 9 August 1910 (date of SMJR minute 451 (TNA file RAIL 674/3)) and presumably the new signal box at Blisworth appeared at the same time. In that this was so…Continue

Did this railway (as opposed to the East & West Junction Railway) go into receivership - if so, when. And when did it come out of receivership?Continue

Hallo Keith
There are pictures admittedly not showing all of the station buildings of Byfield in the following books:- Lost Railways of Northamptonshire by Geoffrey Kingscott, published by Countryside Books @ £10.99 (Available from the library service) ISBN 978-1-84674-108-1 and The Railways of Northamptonshire by David Blagrove, published by Wharfside Publications @ £11.00 ISBN 187191820-0

Hello Keith,
I have built a model of the E&W "standard" station building in 4mm scale and I have copies of drawings of these too. The platform mounted signal boxes were also fairly standard ( although Byfield and Kineton had theirs extended in the 30s). The Good Shed seems to match the one at Ettington for which I obtained plans through a member on here. If you want to e-mail me (simondonal@hotmail.com), I'll be happy to send you scanned copied but for modelling purposes, I am happy to make photocopies and post them to you. The Bill Simpson book also has a copy of the LMS Rating Plan which is drawn to scale and great accuracy too.
Simon
Thanks for all the help
What i do need is an indicatiion of the cpolour and type of bricks used in construction
Thanks guys
