Hi Guys

I am a member of Woodford Halse Model Railway Club

I lived in Woodford for 15 Years

I recently moved to Eydon - 2 miles away

 

I am researching Byfield as i have th task of constructing a OO scale model of the station Buildings

 

Any Pictures or plans would be gratefully received

 

The Club has a layout over 3 rooms in the Social Club in Woodford

Based on Woodford and its environment including the SMJ junction

Has been there for over 30 year sand has been renovated over the last 3 years and work is continuing

We meet for a couple of hours on a Wednesday at & Pm

 

Other times when construction taking place

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 ([e-mail]), 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.

Hi Keith,

Took a load of photos on Saturday of what is left, during the line tour, with you in mind just look in the album. If you want a copy sent to you let me know.
