Cotswold Line: Gradients and Signals

[Fincra5]

Hi, i'm trying to build the Cotswold Line (Oxford to Worcester) for RailWorks and do any of you lot out there know where i can get the gradient profiles; it looks a fairly flat route (from OS maps). Also if there is a Cab View video of the line anywhere so i can see where the signals are.

Thanks.

Not a cab view, but Danny Scroggins' website has a comprehensive collection of photographs under the 'Cotswold Line' section, including photos of each of the 'box diagrams.

All changes though when the re-doubling goes ahead.

The "Gradients of the British Main Line Railways" originally published in 1947 by the Railway Magazine has this route in. I think Ian Allan have reprinted it more recently.

The line rises gradually from Oxford to just West of Moreton-in-Marsh - gradients between 1:250 and 1:400 with some level stretches.
There is a sharp drop to Blockley at between 1:150/160, a similar rise to Campden and then a drop of about 4.5 miles at 1:100 to Honeyborne and another couple of miles at 1:126 to around MP 103. After that the line undulates on fairly gentle gradients (typically 1:350 to 1:400) until Worcester.

Hope this is of help.
