An ex GER line, I would suggest, but have not checked through albums;
Steam; The ex GER/LNER classes N7 (kit), J67/68/69. J39 J17 J15. B1? ; the J39 RTR; J67-69 rechassis the original farish loco (I think it has been done, but I don't know how). J15+17-not available but I did do a crude J17 from an LMS 4F chassis and footplate +D16 boiler +cab. There was also a VERY rare Stelfox J17 kit.

Diesel-again, not sure without trawling albums, but I suggest cl15+16 (kits); cl20; cl31. DMU-cl 105+ 125 (BH Enterprises kit?)

Hope this gives you some leads.

Just thinking about loco hauled passenger stock; photos suggest this was mainly ex LNER design Gresley or Thompson stock, modelled from Etched Pixel kits (when Alan returns......)

Quick survey of albums confirms, at least, N7, J69, cl15, 16, 20, 31, 105, 125.

I've just bought, in the local 'remainder' bookshop, 'London's East End railways part 2 branch lines to the docks' by D Brennand, published by Book Law publications.

This has a whole chapter on the North Woolwich line, including station track diagrams. It more or less confirms the classes I mentioned earlier; it also shows 'Austerity' 2-8-0s and Jinties going at least part of the way on the branch. Addition steam class is, at least, L1.

The GER Society may be able to help with photos and/or information.

BTW, the book is well worth it if you have any interests in the Thameside working of the railways-don't forget other Companies had access to the river, not just the GER/LTSR and their successors.
