Sometimes the obvious stares you in the face, I was looking for other clues rather than a chalked date!
The station building shot does not seem to show the footbridge unless it was hidden by the building which was put up in 1891 but the fashions look much later than that.

I came across these early photos of Thame station and wonder if anyone can give an idea on date at first I thought they were 1920s but have a feeling they might be earlier as the wagon has number plates which would date it between 1894 to 1913 plus there is still bulk road on the running lines. They might not be taken on the same date anyway as the staff photo looks more 1920 fashion.

For some reason the photos of Charwelton in the 80s and Oldshaw seem to have been transposed on the Railex and Expo EM show previews.

Due to the new entrance we are still trying to work out logistics for selling tickets prior to opening.
Wild Swan books is unable to attend this year.

Is the café still doing the cooked breakfast?
I am not sure, the café management has changed since we last did the show, which probably means that what we tell them to expect on numbers that they are never prepared on the day. Our layout exhibitors lunches and eating area has had to be adjusted this year too.
I am sure there will be a meeting before the show so maybe I can advise what will be on offer closer to the weekend.

Does the change to the access point have any implications on the catering arrangements ?
Ray
I think there will still be exit out of the main hall in to the catering area using the original entrance exit. The stadium want to avoid any congestion with the users of the gym and swimming pool on the front counter, hence we need to have our entrance in a different place.

Will there be versions with or without luggage end windows.

I have just noticed that all versions have 5 coal rails each side of the bunker although by the BR period these were reduced to 3 each side.

We have a vintage bus running again from Aylesbury Railway station to the stadium on both days. I have just been working up the floor plan and everything fits!
A slight change this year we are unable to use the main entrance door in to the hall as we have in the past so entry will be at a side entrance directly into the exhibition but be well sign posted on the day.

I think it would only work with P4 standards due to the height of the rail head. I think point work would be possible although I have not thought too much about the design yet.

My BR black early crest arrived on Saturday I have not really looked at it in detail or run it but the cab was not fixed on correctly one side I have managed to press home but the other side may need tweaking, If I can fix it then its going back.

Yep that's fine Mike

As a replacement for Eileen's we also have Squires/South Eastern Finecast also attending that also needs to be added to the list above.

Can you date these early photos of Thame station
in UK Prototype Questions
Posted · Edited by David Bigcheeseplant
I noticed the window was missing to the lamp/store room, it is not on the original plans either, but as a later addition was matched in quite well.
The attached photo shows the station after closure and demolition of the overall roof. yes the tree is still there, but the post box has gone.
