Sources of Photos of Parcels Vans between Reading Maidenhead and Aylesbury in 1960/2
Posted: Thu May 14, 2020 5:08 pm
Hi All,
To accurately portray some trains on my 00 model of the High Wycombe Branch and Relief Lines west of Maidenhead during 1960-2, I am seeking pictures of the parcels vans on the 0540 Reading to Princes Risborough parcels train, their onward moves to Aylesbury during the morning, and their returns in ones and twos attached to the afternoon Aylesbury/High Wycombe to Maidenhead/Slough/Paddington passenger trains.
Most of the vans finished their day on the 2010 Maidenhead to Reading Parcels and then some went further on long distance Parcels trains from Paddington to reach locations such as Didcot and Chippenham.
I would appreciate information on where such photos may be found.
I have many books on the WR Main Line out of Paddington and particularly on the Slough/Maidenhead/Reading area and Trains Illustrated 1960-3, so it is the more obscure sources rather than the obvious one I am looking for.
Many thanks, take care,
Best regards
Paul
