Does anybody have access to the track plan for West Wycombe in the 1930s please?  In the original edition of Stanley Jenkins book, it was one of the few track plans not included, and I've been unable to find it elsewhere.

 

Thanks,

Steve

Closest detailed map on the NLS Maps site is the 1919 OS 25-inch, dont know if the layout had changed by the 1930s though

Signalling Record Society has a box diagram - which matches the R A Cook track layout diagrams - section 26 book. Mr Cooke's sketch is 1907 - and shows no alterations until rationalisation starts in late 50's - so the SRS diagram should be fine.

Thanks Keefer that is exactly what I need. As Innerhome correctly says, the layout was the same in the 1930s.

Thanks Innerhome. The low resolution image on the SRS website from 1949 is what I need.

Does anyone have or know of any pictures of the road side of the station building, or any close-ups of the large goods shed?

 

Thanks

I shall be interested to see any such photos.

Did you ever find photos of roadside front of platform building or the goods shed?

Hi,

 

You might want to contact the High Wycombe & District Model Railway Society, they are building a model of West Wycombe, so might have some info that you are looking for.
