Vadstena Stone roundhouse

[AAJ]

Hello, Recently I've been quite fascinated with Vadstena's stone roundhouse at the WFJ
I've considering of using the roundhouse and Vadstena track plan as a base design for one of the station on my work in progress web comics series.
Would like to know if any references material such as track plan or roundhouse blueprints actually survives to this day?

I suggest you contact Wadstena- Fogelsta RPS (https://wfj.se/). There are also a couple of books about the railway(s) and Vadstena the society can help you with. And on their website there is some information here (in Swedish only):

Please take note that the station plan is "upside down" - north is downwards on this plan."Slottskanalen" is the moat surrounding Vadstena Castle.
One spur leads to two wooden warehouses- for many years, sailing ketches and sloops used the quay here.



The spur that seemingly leads downwards to the right (actually towards the west side of the moat) leads to a stone quay for somewhat larger ships, freight steamers in the old days. Here cargo like fertiliser and grain was exchanged.



Here a view towards the engine house.
