Hi All
First post, so be kind to me I'm getting back into railway modelling after a gap of nearly 40 years. Although I've got quite a big space in mind, I'm going to start off small and try my hand at a micro-layout based on a North East colliery. So, I'm looking for photos and plans of any of the smaller collieries. I'm particularly interested in the South East corner of Northumberland - as it was then - maybe Backworth, Holywell, Delaval area. I'm not looking to recreate an individual colliery necessarily, just to get a sense of the layouts, buildings, and track plans, and to give me something that'll be fun to research, build, and operate while thinking about the much bigger layout. The side-by-side mapping stuff is ideal for potential track plans.
Thanks in advance
Richard
