Ollerton Station - track plan anyone?

Post by Chuffinell »

I'm after the original trackplan of Ollerton Station, in Notts, which was on the former LDECR line from Chesterfield MP to Lincoln. Some of the original buildings are still extant today. The intention is to base a model railway on it, but presuming that the proposed link to the ECML and also a planned branch up to Worksop were actually built. These would probably have meant that in reality the layout of the station would have been different - so basing my model on the original plan, I will add some licence to adapt it.

Thanks John, much appreciated. I have also found this site useful:
http://info.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/insightmapping/#

provides historical overlays of anywhere in Notts, was able to get maps of 1912 Ollerton. Prior to colliery though unfortunately and no later one. Great for exact track layout though
