Rolleston-on-Dove, the layout has ended its days as a working model railway. In action recently at the Stafford exhibition, considered to be the high point in the layout's history, proved to be its final public appearance. Its appearance at Expo EM at Manchester in 2018 was another highlight in 16 years of operation. All is not over as the section that includes the carriage dock with all the pointwork remains active, linking the Little Burton layout with its storage sidings. Three dioramas, sections of the original layout are being converted featuring the station buildings, signal cabin and over bridge. These will be used as 3-dimensional visual aids when presenting talks to local school pupils and interested organisations.
