well 1 in 131 worked out a treat and we came out just to one side of my marker.. had to put a slight curve in track coming out to get back on the right line to Hazel Grove.

Now must get back to finish last bit of scenery at Heathersage and get the Sheffield to New Mills section up to UKTS.
Oh, will need to put a couple of local stopping train scenarios in Sheffield - Hazel Grove and visa versa as well

pictures of the rough Disley tunnel out here

Thanks Paul

I see I have the level bit in the Totley Tunnel the wrong end.. don't tell anyone and I may get away with it.
