Hopefully I'll get the copyright issues sorted out soon then I can publish a couple of photo's to show what I'm trying to capture.

In the meantime I have the OS maps and the beginnings of a templot plan.

On this map the goods yard, mainline and station are off to the right. The shed is to the left of the malthouse on Station street. It was called station street as the old Birmingham and Gloucester Railway used to have a branch terminus here, it's the covered bit by Sun street.

The line then runs down left along quay street down to the quay. My understanding is that quay street was the limit for loco's, the wagons were then shunted around the quay by horse power. However I think I'll be using a little modellers license and allow loco's down to the quay if it ever gets that far.

The quay area is shown here, which is the location of the quay photos posted a few days ago.

As mentioned there is no way this will fit in 2010" so for the moment I'm just concentrating on the shed area. I've made a start on a templot plan

For the challenge it's just the middleboard and righthand board which works out at 100" by 20", annotated with a quick sketch to show the main features. The fiddleyard will be off to the right hand side hidden behind the Malthouse. The plan shows a board for the old B&G station on the righthand side, this will be a future extension down to the quay.
