Hello Joe RLVW
Many thanks for that information, to be honest I hadn't thought of looking in the national archives. Certainly two of the images look like they will be interesting. I wonder if they have anything on Llangynog station.
Again thank you

Re: Drawing for Lady Margret 2-4-0 locomotive
Hi Rowlie,
Glad it might be interesting.
I've had a quick look at Llangynog station.
Wikipedia says "It had a single platform and a run round loop with sidings serving a goods yard on the north side...".
It also has some references and a photograph of part of the station area from 1992. See link below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llangynog_railway_station
National Archives appear to have a plan, although like the Lady Margaret information its not on line but can be ordered. I haven't found any photos though on the National Archive.

National Library of Scotland doesn't have much that is useful other than the following. I split the screen with the relevant OS type map on the left and the right is an aerial view
https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by ... =ESRIWorld
It does give some idea of the track plan but its not exactly in line with the text above as doesn't show a run round loop.
I expect you found quite a lot on the station, but in case its useful here are the results of a search I did.
All items:

And here are just images

Hopefully this gives some quite good information on the layout as well as the buildings.

Hello Joe RLVW
Thanks for the leads.
I was fortunate that I already had the key books by Lloyd and Wren on the Tanat Valley, but I have been able to add other books with some reference to Tanat Valley (mainly photos). Fortunately HRMS had some useful drawings particularly the 40' to 1" of the water pipework for the new water tower installed by the GWR, which allowed me to scale the actual station. For those looking at Maps Llangynog appears in the corner of the "Dolgelley and Lake Vyrnwy" (sic) from the 20s and things haven't really improved with the current OS maps. However, it is a fascinating place all the best Rowlie
