For anyone interested I have uploaded a box file of the latest Barry Norman plan - Chasewater. It's in P4.

Look for Chasewater folder in files.

Hi Alan,

Thanks Alan. You uploaded it to the Yahoo group files. But it's just as easy to add it as a message attachment on this forum. That way everyone gets a link to click right under the message about it. Also, not everyone on the forum is a member of the Yahoo group, so they won't be able to access it there.

I've attached a copy of the .box file below this. And you can include a screenshot:

Chasewater .box file attached below -- just click the link.

(If your browser displays it as meaningless text, right-click on the link instead and select "Save Target/Link As...")

regards,

Martin.

Hello,

Regarding Chasewater (sic).

Martin Wynne provided a screenshot of this Templot track plan.

I've not seen the Barry Norman plan referred to (is it in a recent MRJ?) but it looks an identical track layout to that at ChaCewater BR(WR) as shown in an article by Michael Leigh that appeared in 'Model Railway News' magazine in May 1957 (coincidence that, just about 50 years ago). Leigh remarks:

From the modeller’s point of view
Chacewater has many points of interest,
perhaps the first of which is simplicity
of trackwork—reference to the station
plan shows how a three-platform junc-
tion station with goods yard is attained
with nothing more complicated than
points—six crossovers and a single
turnout.

I have scanned the 2½ page article and attach the first page to this posting and the remainder to a seperate posting (due to Templot Club size limits on individual postings).

If Martin  considers this uses too much disk space, I could extract the diagrams/photographs and convert the words to plain text, which should use less space.

Did Barry Norman spell it ChaSewater? That's wrong. Both the Ian Allan Pre-Grouping Atlas and Bartholomew's Gazetteer (1932 ed) confirm the MRN spelling of: Chacewater.

S. A. Leleux made the same spelling error in his "An Index to Model Railway Drawings", on page 87.

There IS a S.G. Chasewater Railway in Chasewater Country Park near Brownhills, Staffordshire.

The Chacewater to Newquay line opened throughout in 1903 and closed 4 Feb 1963. Chacewater station itself closed 5 Oct 1964. The Lappa Valley Railway (15" gauge, etc) uses part of the trackbed.

Can't blame Barry, I spelt it Chasewater - I live in Dudley and not too far from Chasewater rather than Chacewater.

Barry's plan is in the latest MRJ.
