I have spent some time trying (with some help from friends) to work out the precise layout and ups and downs of the Duffield Bank Railway, and have now reached the point where the whole of the upper figure of eight is laid and the line down to the hairpin. I have terraformed a mile or 2 of the Derwent valley as well, so that the passengers have got something to look at. This scene should be recognisable:
Last Saturday I was able to get to the Steam at Eaton event and took the opportunity to have a good look around as much of the scenery as I could get to. Here is the revised Eaton Hall terminus - the clock tower has not been vandalised, I just haven't finished it!
I like it a lot! I was fortunate in being able to go to last year's Eaton Hall event, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Photos at http://steamandheritagerailways.fotopic ... 66927.html - I look forward to being able to re-create some of them in virtual!
