Coronach, Davidbird, etc. Attached my draft drawing for Mallaig. It is part of a project to draw up and show the signalling on the WHL & C&O Lines, rather than for modelling purposes, and hence is not to exact scale. I generally maintain 10mm between tracks and scale from that to something that 'look right'. The drawings that David sent are from a later era that Coronach's, which this is based on, and I'll probably to a second dwg to show things at a later date as there seems to be various changes regarding buildings, tanks, etc. Any comments welcome.

Hi, Of value might be 'Airfield Focus No.31 Invergordon (& Alness)' By Jim Hughes ISBN 1 870384 61 X Though its obviously military rather than railway related. Although I can't help re Invergordon I have a track & signalling diagram of Alness from that period. Too big to attach so drop me a PE if you'd like it kind regards R

These are excellent photos! Many thanks for posting! regards, R

Hi Coronach, Totally agree with your thoughts....... and the 1937 Sectional Appendix confirms Tablet Operated GF

Thanks JohnR, Will let you know when I've more drawn up :-) regards, R

Hi Coronach, Finished first draft of Mallaig which a railway friend of mine in the west has checked....a few wee alts to do and then I'll post for your interest. One puzzle is control of sidings ('Fish Van Sidings) to the south. I have a copy sketch of the original RSCo. signal box diagram, which doesn't show them at all, as neither does the 1970's BR version....a puzzle. We think 2-lever GF controlled by Section Table gave access but can't be sure. Your drawings looks to have a GF beside the No.9 Section signal kind regards, R

Hi Sulzer27JD, Just to say I have decided to start drawing up track and signalling diagrams on CAD for the Strathmore line - track and signalling layouts (M1's) - as opposed to the 2 SBD's (M5's) I've posted. I won't be posting on Forum, but as you expressed appreciation for the other two I'm happy to send you copies when complete. If you'd like to receive them drop me a PM with your email address regards, R

Hi John, Glad you liked it! In which case here's another :-) kind regards, Robert Kinnaber-Jcn-1958-Model-rot.pdf

Hi added this to a 'poll' topic in error. For those interested in the Strathmore Line. I'll see what other diagrams I can add when I've time C GLAMIS-1947-Model-1-rot.pdf

Folks, For interest a reproduction I knocked up of the Glamis SBD. regards, Corrour GLAMIS-1947-Model-1-rot.pdf

Hi Coronach, these are fantastic just what I was looking for! Many thanks Indeed. May even be able to do an early BR signal box diagram repro. Will send you copy of dwg when complete. Thanks Again C

Many thanks gents....yes maps go some way but a BR diagram would be most excellent. An old BR hand has told me the layout didn't change much over its life, but when I'm drawing up a layout I like to use the 'base plan' to then show variations over time.

Hi All, I'm currently drawing up the track & signalling layouts of the West Highland Line, using CAD. For Mallaig I only have the highly stylised final signal box diagram to work form, and ideally would like to see any drawings or photos of the track layout and signalling, from an earlier period. Can anybody help? Copies of drawings for Mallaig produced in return of course :-) Corrour

Attached some pictures for your interest. Not dated I'm afraid
