i have a track diagram of Ranleigh bridge in steam days if that is any help

 

[iploffy]

would love to see it obviously it may be a bit big but with a bit of rationalisation and shoe horning i possibly could get it in I would prefer some thing from the steam days as the layout is set in the late 60's to mid 80's and there were alot of steam depots converted for diesel use

Hi Phill, the correct title is- BR MOTIVE POWER DEPOTS- Western Region by Colin Marsden. It was published 1988 so i dont think it will be still in print. Try e-bay or i've just noticed that its printed by Ian Allen, so you could try there website. It cost ?8.95 when new . If you dont get any joy let me know and i will see what i can do
