The Oldham Loop Part One Manchester Victoria to Shaw & Crompton by Jeffrey Wells (Foxline) will serve you well with photos of Royton and a track plan of the station and yard.

Thanks,  found and ordered

Your view of a Cravens DMU in Royton Station is the year after one of these Units went through that wall at the platform end. 

I was living, (at the grand old age of 11mths), in number 21 when that Craven went through numbers 13/15 

If anyone has photos of either the accident or the station area in general around that time, then I'd very much appreciate having a look at them.

I'm at the planning stage of a layout in N gauge to encompass Royton Station through Royton Junction with a hidden roundy-roundy with a fiddle yard going behind the scenes.  I've found some signal box diagrams by Flyingsignalman in this thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/79703-slotted-stop-signals/ but I'm also looking for track layout diagram as things were changing around the mid 60's.
