Thank you very much, It's 28 feet long and 8 feet wide with the fiddle yard attatched. I do have a track plan but its on the ordance survey map that was from the local library. I tried attatching it but it failed. I'll add it on to the layout pics in a sec.

Thanks, The flint was done using Wills cobble sheets which were then sanded down with wet n dry paper then painting each flint seperately. I'm in Wycombe so it wasn't too far to pop to Bourne End to photograph the buildings there. Bourne End was the original intention but getting the branch in from Marlow would of made it rather large !

Thank you, I will pass on your comments to the old man ( he is computer illitarate im affraid ). I'm rather impressed by your Banbury layout aswell btw !

Why thank you ! Yes , they are both scratch built. That is my dad's handywork . Both are made from Wills plastic sheets. The signal box still needs its chimney though !

Loudwater is the chosen prototype for myself and my dad's first attempt at building a layout of a prototype location. Work has been slowly on going for about the last year or so. It is no where near finished but i thought id put this up to see what people thought of it. All comments are welcome ( good or bad ! ) The pictures are a few months old and a bit more has been done since then but it will give you the general idea . Just for a bit of background info, Loudwater was the first station outside High Wycombe on the original Wycombe Railway route from High Wycombe to Maidenhead. The section between Wycombe and Bourne End closed on 4th May 1970 and al track was lifted in that section. The site of the station at Loudwater is now an industrial estate and no trace of the station can now be seen. Any info on workings would be greatly apreciated as would any photos . The line was often used as a diversionary route so anything from 14xx's to Castles could of been seen .
