I am trying to set out a 'to scale' of Maidenhead station, branch and goods yard. I need to construct in Templot the access to the yard. The attached OS 2500 drawing shows the use of several diamonds to gain access from the branch platform to the yard. Does any one have any photographs showing the details of GWR diamonds from around the time? I have consulted David Smith's GWR track book and can see the likely dimensions and construction, but to me it all looks rather cramped. You will see that the acces crosses several other tracks and the layout is much more complex than I recall it when I was at the adjacent school in the '50s. Often we watched from a few hundred yards in the Reading direction but were more interested in the named locos on the up and down mains adjecent to the 3-strand fence, which was as close as we could get legally. The plan I am working on covers between the 2 mileposts either side of the station. Any advice or comments would be welcome. Jerry |
