I've just uploaded a page of pictures (with a video) of the above line, which is to be the venue for East Midlands Group meetings over the winter.

No - it's permanently erected at the owner's factory, so he can play trains in his lunch hour (if he wants to)............

looks a nice layout. Quite large as well, some of these portable lines can get a bit tail chasey! I like the big triangle leading to the steam up bays but must make access to the out side rail at that point a bit trouble some from inside!
