Has anyone got a detailed track layout of the ex GNR FIVE MILE HOUSE station.

Does this help?

Photo and map layout.

Sorry no, ive seen this already, it's the actual track layout and points positions I was after.

The Nat Library of Scotland's (NLS) website can be excellent for trackplans, as long as there is a 25inch map available of the area you want.

This link should do the trick - http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18 ... rs=168&b=1

I've checked on there also John, it's a bit more detail I was after.

Hi

I'm building this In 4mm scale I've done all the buildings

I'm trying to find what locos worked on the line in lner days

What coaching stock and what wagons workings was there

As a start at least, have you a copy of Alf Ludlam's Oakwood series book on the Lincolnshire Loop Line? The pictures in that provide some clues. If you wish to be truly accurate, you may have to bear in mind that after the opening of the GN/GE joint line linking Lincoln to Spalding via the Sleaford by-pass line, rather than the old, original GN route along the banks of the Witham and through Boston, a lot of the heavier traffic tended not to go over the GN. I gather that bridge strength at Boston imposed a limit. Of course, if you want to run as much as possible you could choose to imagine that the joint line had never been built (or that it is obstructed and a diversion is in force) and that the bridge at Boston had been improved. Some of the Yorkshire coal traffic continued to run via the GN loop anyway, notwithstanding the joint line.

The disused stations site has some data and some photos.

in tidying up some notes recently I found some reference to Lincolnshire railways and that during LNER times
many of the lines there although they had ex GN locos like J6, J3, C12, D2,
there were also many ex GC locos as well as GER tanks .

for instance Lincoln in 1933, had B5's D7's, D9's J10's J11's, N5. O4.
Plus C12, D2/3, J6,
GER J66 69.
Also J39.
I understand V2's were also used in the Loop Lines, so quite a broad church methinks.
