Newton Purcell - all change for Evenley


Richard Mawer

I have been busy laying track inbetween working, holidays and such like. However, my mind wandered back to the fictitious location of my line. Looking at maps again, I reluctantly realised that Newton Purcell is too far south.

 

The line leaves the Oxford to Banbury line at Kings Sutton, swinging from south to east and then passes south of Brackley and terminates at Buckingham. There is a junction south of Brackley that sends off a branch heading north to Brackley Road.

 

I had planned that junction to be at Newton Purcell, but that would make the whole line swing far too south. I don't want to step any further into Peter Denny territory: the layout design is already a bit of an homage. So Tingewick and such are off limits. I have therefore decided that my Junction will now be at Evenley.

 

The only issue left is whether it is plain "Evenley" or "Evenley Junction"? I think the GWR prefered the single word more often than not, but I welcome input at this stage....
