Potto Station plan?

Today, whilst bored at work, I had the idea to do Potto Station, as I know it, and it lends itself to a two sided board. Straight in at the bottom, and through the station turning right round the back of the yard and off.
I had thought about 'expanding' it, as if it had grown, as the station today lends itself to a single track, and then looking at http://www.pottostation.co.uk it was huge any way.
The yard crane featured on the photos on the site, is still there in Prestons Yard today.
I just need to find the source of a plan of the station/yard.
I have sourced one with the council, which seams to be in Northallerton, which is difficult for me to get durning opening times!

Looks like a very interesting project, with lots of character

but unfortunately I can't help you with plans. Perhaps you should contact the relevant railway society?

Got it!
The nice people at County records at Northallerton will do copies for 14.90 including postage and handling. It is 10xA3 sheets!

Let me know if I can be of any help.
Most of my photos are on the Potto station website

Thnaks for that, but I don't think I have room, taking in to account the curves at the end of the board.
It's a lot bigger than I thought though!
