Re: Western Region Midlands 1950's

Thank you for the comments!
Currently I'm not planning on including the Leamington to Coventry line in full, I have laid track up to Milverton station but that's as far as it is going for now.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Western Region Midlands 1950's

Hi all, After a long time away from the route this afternoon was spent working on the area around Rowington Junction, the line between the junction and Henley in Arden was closed in January 1917 and lifted in May of that year. However a short stub was left to store withdrawn rolling stock today the ...

Re: Western Region Midlands 1950's

Re: Western Region Midlands 1950's

Hi all, Only a small update, seeing that Steam Sounds Supreme are extending the Wycombe branch to Banbury an extension from Leamington to Banbury is a must.

Re: Western Region Midlands 1950's

I will try my best to get to Snow Hill, but as you say it will take time. Tonight I will tackle Leamington Spa as a bit of a built up to trying the Birmingham area in time, the route origin for this route is Hatton Station so joining is not really a possibility. I had completely forgotten about that...

Re: Western Region Midlands 1950's

I wasn't planning on doing the Leamington to Coventry line as its not where my interest is but never say never, it looks like I will need to do down to Banbury then as that would be very good to drive all the way from Paddington up to Snow Hill! Thank you Yerkes, its the Riviera in the 50's track, h...
