Lots of pictures of Shipston-on-Stour in the "Railways of Warwickshire" site, One of the photos shows a Tour party, (SLS or RCTS?) but I have not seen any other pictures taken by the tour members... Wonder if they still exist?

The branch also featured as the "Layout of a Lifetime" in  BRM July2007  (Owned by Micheal Warner founder of BRM )

I had looked at this as a potential layout back in 2006/7, it had the advantage (for me!) of having no signals, being always "one engine in steam"!

I was puzzled by the Gas Works at Shipston, adjacent to the Goods yard, but how were their supplies delivered ? Again, I have not seen any good pictures of this industry.

Yes, Don, the warwickshirerailways.com site is a special resource if you live here.

I had not heard of a previous published layout but still intend to pursue this project because it is close to where I live and have lived for about 15 years since deciding to return to the UK to retire.

I can only think that the gas plant received coal supplies from the railway.

Yes, Focalplane, there was a siding serving the gas plant.
