Just joined this forum.
A bit of background:-
I am interested in all UK postwar railway operation, and am currently planning in an existing room suitable for a railway room a 12ft x8ft round and round 00 model based on Maidenhead, with timetables operated in 1960/2, 19777/9, 1992/4 and 2007/9.
Some compromises are necessary to cope with changes of track layout and signalling, but by only showing the one end of the platforms, many of the changes in the station and its furniture over the years are not a problem!

Here is my first information request:-
Can anyone tell me in the 1950s/60s which of the four up and 4 down freights that stopped at Maidenhead on the Reading line delivered and or picked up coal wagons?
Or did the coal come down the branch from Wycombe on the evening train that delivered coal and picked up empties from the Branch stations?

Thanks
Paul
