As a child i spent many hours round Neyland yard, my best mates uncle was a driver there. I can confirm that Castles definately appeared. The winter timetable tended towards 3 coach trains which increased to 5 coaches in the summer. I can remember Counties as the sheds premium loco's but Manors, Granges, Halls & modified Halls were all regular visitors as were 28's & 38's & in the final years 9F's were a regular sight. Neyland was the main shed for the region & serviced all loco's on Milford Haven turns & the oil train engines. The yard also cleaned the fish wagons on the Milford fish turns & serviced all the coaches on both the Milford & Neyland turns. I am about to start building a model of Neyland 7 it can be done in 18 ft from the 1st turnout from the single line to the buffer stops at the end of the platforms with not too much compression. The lines to Milford & Neyland were considered main lines, it is only enthusiasts who for some reason often refer to them as branch lines !!
