Big steam fan here, but the old Woodhead line held special childhood memories. The sight and sound of a double headed coal train exploding out of the tunnel at Dunford Bridge was something to behold.
[quote=munrobiker ]I must admit to only really being interested in steam or modern diesels, I run a 156, 66 and a 67 on my Scottish layout (as well as some special steam in the form of the Jacobite).
You do realise those are all actually electric?
Just reading a book now, Factory of Dreams, about the creation of Meccano and Hornby,and demise of the factory at Binns road Liverpool, by a chap called Mr Hornby, great book lots of pictures and social history that was almost lost when Mecano went bust in the late 70,s.
A lovely little electric train, runs from Cercedilla up to Cotos in the mountains to the west of Madrid:
