Hi All, Latest job completed is a version of the Thame plan showing the signal locations, as attached, also a layout track plan:- I would do the signals myself as they are simple:- Fixed Distant, Home, Starter and Advanced Starter in each direction, but for the fact that I want sets of semaphores an...

Good Afternoon to you All, In this post I'll record a few thoughts about the "modern eras" at Thame:- There was a scheme worked up by Chiltern Railways to rebuild the Thame line as a way to get them to Oxford. So in my model world this was done and the actual (and cheaper) cord at Bicester...

Good Afternoon All, I spent part of this morning working out the 10 trains and their locos for the first stage of "Thame" in the three eras I want to model. As Thame never existed as a working station in my 90s and modern eras I don't need to worry so much about replacing early 60s feature...

Good Afternoon All,

Here, as promised are some photos of the NGR. Two from Sunday, and yesterday's engineers train.

Hi there all of you. Three activities to report today:- 1) Making progress on reading the three books that arrived on Saturday.

Good Day All, Looking through relevant articles and photos in various GWJs this morning I realized that both Thame and High Wycombe goods sheds had extensions.

For an upcoming 00 gauge model, I am looking for information on the Oxford to Princes Risborough line, in particular Thame, in the period 1958-63. I have the R A Cooke section 27 plans, the Middleton Press book and the Richard Lingard Book, plus all the GWJs. o what I am after is the more obscure ma...
