I am considering an N gauge model of this now dismantled station and goods yards and would ask if anyone on the forum has any information at all which could help. The layout would be post grouping to the WW11.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Micky. That's two nice sites I've copped today. The BR Database and now this one. Both have gone into my 'favourites' list.
