Welcome to the forum. Not quite sure what you're trying to do here.

Is this a modelling or simulation related query?

Noted that platform 4 at Crewe station is a dead-end (Southbound facing) bay platform.

Ordnance Survey grid reference is approximately SJ 7116 5465 if that helps any.

Trying to recreate Crewe station in TS Classic the 1930'sPlatform 4 was a up platform as was platform 5 and both joined back in to the main up track.

Thanks for the welcome.

Are you referring to the modern day platform 6, which I believe was previously designated as platform 4 prior to Crewe station's modernisation.

So, essentially, what you're after is a 1930's era layout of the trackwork through Crewe station, which you can't really ascertain just by looking at old OS maps - such as the one below - which tend to just show the Crewe station roof, so obscuring much of the detail.

This is the relevant 25" map from 1908 which shows it better, but may not be correct for your dates: https://maps.nls.uk/view/114585199
