I've seen that picture online, but you actually own that sign do you? Wow! Yes, it would be great if you could send the exact measurements. Thanks! Ed

Hi All, I have just joined the forum recently, this is my first post. I am returning to the hobby after about 40 years, and I am starting to plan a new layout. Initially using some of my old N-gauge stuff, with a view to maybe switching to 2mm finescale at some point in the coming years, depending on how my skills develop! As always, there is the question of "what" to model. As we actually live in Wheatley, Oxfordshire, I have decided to attempt to base my model on Wheatley station, and maybe also Horspath Halt, which is a bit further up the line, to give a second stopping point. We live in an old cottage, quite near the site of the old station, so this will give me a chance to make a model of my own actual house! Of course, I realise this will be a long-term project ... check back in 25 to 30 years to see how I'm getting on!!! Anyway, the purpose of this post is to see if anyone can help with details of the old station buildings. As you probably already know, the station closed in the mid-60's, and the track was lifted and buildings demolished in (I think) 1969. I have looked in what I think are the "usual" books: Princes Risborough-Thame-Oxford Railway by R.Lingard Oxford to Princes Risborough - A GWR Secondary Route by C.R.Potts I have also found quite a lot of old photos on the internet of the track layout and the various buildings. At the moment I am trying to draw up plans for the buildings by trying to work out dimensions from the photos. But I was wondering if there was anywhere that I would be able to find actual scale drawings or plans for any of the buildings? Thanks all, Ed
