Graham Walters Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This has probably been mooted elsewhere. I have been given on permanent loan a couple of books detaiing the industry of the FOD, from the late 1800's to the early 1970's, in one of the books there are several if not a lot of track plans, ( ideal for construction of a layout), and a drawing to scale of Cinderford station and various other buildings. Scale drawings : Cinderford Station Cinderfor Goods Shed Cinderford Weigh House Cinderford Brewery Store Drybrook Station Speech House Road Station Speech House Road Goods Shed Track plans The track plans are too numerous to list but include : Coleford Junction Bicslade Wharf Cannop Sidings + The Wood Distiillation Works Speech House Road station There are also numerous photographs of the inside of signal boxes, wagons ( livery), and of course the actual industrial works, and the clutter that goes with them. If anyone has a particular interest, I am happy to look for, scan anything I find and email ti to you. I would post some on here but am wary of ingfringing copyright.
