Hello, I am interested in the layout of Ashdon and Midport but cannot find it. Only the layout itself - not the article. If someone could send it to me (hakan.hessel@gmail.com) or put a copy here it would be good. Do not think there should be any copyright problem as it is only the layout probably owed by the builder. Or just sketch it for me. Håkan

Hello, The summer 1965 I worked as a guest/trainee with Broom&Wade (air compressors) in High Wycombe. I lived in Flackwell Heath in what I remember was called an Industrial Hostel, probably some leftover from WW2. I passed Loadwater station every day and especially walking home from the pub uphill hearing the sound of the big 2-10-0s(?) from afar. This was before the M40 was built. From what I remember there was often a large loco parked there. It might have been a big prairie or a small. I have just bought a Heljan 5100 in 0 Gauge and some other stuff e.g. a level crossing from Peco. When I unpacked it I realised that I of course should try to do something around Loadwater at least the signal box part and level crossing. So I found some info and the picture of the station in Wikipedia and also found that someone actually had made the whole station some years ago. As a preparation to this possible project I have som questions: Q1: On the Wikipedia picture https://www.google.com/search?q=loadwater+station&rlz=1C1BLWA_enSE597SE597&sxsrf=ALeKk02BH6hWLWLRAuxEImsm60PJj5cCcw:1608138851359&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=-oNc_huYN1KLtM%2CPwgSPraIbQj3tM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQxt9oFQwtJ2lpyByyh6u7WD5BwdA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj36O-HgNPtAhUjl4sKHWoiBacQ_h16BAgVEAE#imgrc=FGXl97hkI-trHM is Flackwell Heath behind the viewer? Looks like that from this map and my memory. https://www.routeyou.com/.../loudwater-railway-station Q2: What engine type was ”allocated” there in the summer -65 Q3: Is the Signal box of any specific GWR type and are there any drawings possible to obtain? Q4: Are there any documentation of the other buildings; Station building and warehouse.....?: Q5: Is there a model of the signal box type buyable in any scale? Q6: Possible contact with the persons who made the model mentioned in Railway Forum? https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/profile/14728-chandler-d/ Q7: Are there any more descriptions of this layout? Q8: Seems that Risborough & District Model Railway Club had it on exhibition back in 2012. Maybe some pictures or other info is obtainable from them but I have no access to them I try to get hold of info so I am sending this out rather widely, hopefully not too wide: Rmweb incuding the builder, GWR group on F/B, 0 Gauge Guild, High Wycombe Model Rwy Club contacts. Are there any other sources (City Library, History foundations for railways …) Looking forward to any respone. hakan.hessel@telia.com Håkan Hessel Johan Skyttes v 372 12559 Älvsjö (Alvsjo) Sweden
