LMS Side Strip Drawings

Back to Home Page.

I have of a number of LMS era side strip drawings that I have scanned in. They show track layouts, mileages and gradient profiles for different LMS districts and are mainly of the former Midland Railway (which became the Midland Division at Grouping,) and most are dated as revised in 1938, though a few date back to the early 1900s.
It is by no means a complete set and it should be noted that they average at around 10 Mb each PDF. The following list is the index of the Midland Division Diagrams and, if available in the collection, there will be a link to the relevant PDF. There is also a Western Division sheet (No. 17) listed.
