Does anyone know where I can find track plans for Ealing Broadway station in the 1879-1905 steam working era? I know from old ordnance survey maps there was a cross over pair of facing points just beyond the platform ends, but was there a similar pair of points for loco release and run-round within the overall roof trainshed, or did the MDR (District) operate like the LNWR and have an arrival platform and a departure platform (with no loco release points near the buffers), and therefore use a pilot engine to transfer the stock? There appears to be a short fenced-off loco bay on the north side of the platforms - is this what that was for?

There is a scissors crossover at the platform ends in the 1894 town plan.
Look on old-maps.co.uk

I've also managed to dig out a signalling plan, just after the electrification and there are umpteen spares, so it would indicate that there was significant layout simplification.

There's quite few now when the Central Line was taken out back in the late 90's

mrfs42 Many thanks indeed. The only plan I could find blocked out the view under the train shed. Scissors crossover eh?....well, that will get me modelling!!!
