David plans to build a new layout and wants advice. I presume he has used the free Google Maps service in his initial planning? Here is what David has to say:

“I am gathering information for a new model railway layout and am going to base it on Ashford International in Kent UK. I have tried one company on the internet but only received a standard reply with none of the listings included Ashford.

Having spoken to Stanfords OS mapping service and obtained a screen print, I am not convinced they will show all the detail I need at 1:1250 and the number of standard A4 sheets needed it will work out to be quite a lot of money.

Can someone recommend any companies that would talk to me about this or supply plans. In fact would the rail track company have original plans that one could purchase. Where does the detailed track information come from?”

Readers can offer suggestions below.
