Trains on the SMJ were normally 1 or 2 coach
The local train is heading towards Stratford-upon-Avon
The railways popularised Stratford with through coaches
They normally used a break composite coach
As I don't have a break composite I've used the train seen his is returning to London via Blisworth
This goods is from Blisworth to Stratford
The exchange siding - the quarry loco has bought outbound wagons from the quarry
A 4F arrives with in bound wagons
Ironstone traffic was very important on the SMJ
The 4F couples up to the outbound wagons
The quarry loco takes the inbound wagons to the quarry
A Blisworth bound local goods that will shunt Gayton's goods yard
The goods arrives and leaves the break van beyond the point
Outbound wagons are collected from the yard
and coupled to the break van
Inbound wagons are then spotted (parked) as required
Gayton has always been a small village
The current population is 544
so only limited facilities are provided
I only had space to model the exchange siding the brickworks is 'behind' the layout
Joseph Boddington was the coal merchant at Gayton many years ago.
