  1. Andrew, the Nigel Gray book - The Salisbury and Dorset Junction Railway might be of some help. It has trackplan/signalling diagrams from 1910, 1912 and 1949 for West Moors. As well as some good photos and a description of each staion along the line, history etc. Cant be of specific help with building plans as have looked in the past myself unsuccessfully. However the crossing keepers cottage still exists albeit with a slightly altered facade next to the Tap and Railway pub. Some others on here I'm sure could be of help with scaling your own plans from photos, good luck Glenn ps. if you are familiar with current day West Moors you may recognise my avatar!

      The wife was right! I was mad. Paint guidelines on tin said to allow 2 hours to dry between coats, took about 2 minutes. Now rehydrating with H2Beer.

      Tim has an external blog - googleing 'Beaminster Road' should help you find it.

      Thankyou for your replies, yes he was a bit feisty at times but the SDJR thread was quite informative and Beaminster Rd promising, shame really, oh well. I see Rmweb as more about the community than the individual anyway!
