GWR Kingswinford Branch ...Wombourne / Tettenhall / Himley Station Plans

Post by Nightrain »

Hi Guys I have just joined this site ... as it came up I was searching for info about Wombourne station on the Kingswinford branch, I was born there and the line sparked my interest in railways and the GWR generally and as I intend to model it .... I could really do with any info about the Station booking hall and waiting room especially the building plans, Tettenhall and Himely are the same building format .... I think I am going to have to try and scratch build at least the station as I cannot find anything that looks remotely like it in kit form or pre-built ???

I hope to do an end to end of Wombourne with the passing loop from the road brige to the occupation over bridge and to include the Single line toke Appartus / Signal Box / Water tower / Station (Up Line) and Waiting Room (Down Line) and Good Yard and Sidings

The waiting room is very similar to this weathered Hornby R8531 skaledale item https://www.ebay.ie/itm/HORNBY-SKALEDAL ... 1438.l2649

I have "By Rail to Wombourne" and Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury Mainline Books which both feature the line and the building, but sadly no building plans

Here are some pics of Wombourne station :

And a link to the branch Info:

I know its a long shot but can anyone help

Thanks in advance

This wasn't meant to be a qote on myself but merely a correction of the "welcome" spelling in the previous one!
