I would recommend buying a copy of LNER Country Stations by John Brodribb, currently from £4.71 on Amazon.

Split down by regions of LNER the book has many great photographs and plenty of drawings of buildings and track plans.

There is a lovely picture of Thorpeness Station, in the 50s I think, with its 3 grounded coach bodies and a great photo of Halesworth with its swinging platform if you fancy an alternative challenge.

Of course always worth a look and the subs to join the GER society, loads of useful stuff there.

What's not to like ?

I look forward to seeing this develop, power to your elbow.

Please forgive my ignorance here but what was the idea behind self weighing tenders?

Given that the water and coal storage on a tender is pretty finite and that their weights per ton are known why would valuable space be sacrificed for weighing equipment?

Was it specific to one region as these examples are former LMS?

Fascinating subject, any insight appreciated.
