A simply incredible model. I've always loved Standedge Tunnel, ever since I watched Pennine Steam in the 60s.

Fantastic looking stuff Jerry, if this is even half as good as the Colliery then it's going to be one of the best layouts at Warley!

Wow Jerry that's some incredible work there yourself!

The Golden Dragon? That's the name of the one up Alexandria Road! (quite a good chinese that actually...)

Loved this layout when I went and saw it at Stonleigh. (I was the portly bloke in the grey coat). Genuinely hope to see it and yourselves on the circuit more this year! Edit: Also, I humbly put myself forward to help cover you at another show if you fancy a break. The Stonleigh show was fantastic!

So pleased to have discovered Union Mills here on RMweb... especially as the 2F, 58153 regularly travelled from Burton, Via Swadlincote onto the Glenfield line as these older locomotives were the only ones which could easily get through the Glenfield Tunnel when accessing the yard at Leicester West Bridge. Means I can actually build a model in a much smaller space and acheive a very long term goal (now 10 years and counting) of building a model of Swadlincote Station.

What's the ally pally?

Absolutely amazing, and a seriously surprising amount of stuff you have amassed!

Eeee, that looks lovely.

I quite enjoyed the "unusual" workings pictured a fair bit above. There's a few shots of trains running on the nearby Burton-Leicester line, where there's an LMS crab hauling just 3 non-corridor pre-grouping stock.

Looks truly superb that layout does.

A Gala weekend would be more interesting to operate. Also more fun scenically, especially with the siting of figures on every suface imaginable. Some Gala's I've been to cheerily allow the public to wander amongst the parked locomotives (Barrow Hill for example)

Does seem a bit of a funny angle to be taking pictures at Les. May be worth just giving up worrying too much about the interior, especially if you cannot see it at all from any really conceiveable angle for photographs.

Whups misread... I'm going to be at Stafford, Tonbridge is a smidge too far for me

Well... if our dear beloved leader isn't taking the RMweb stand there... yeah why not? It's a gorgeous layout, easy to spot and we'll all wind up there together to chat.
