I would like to model a scene in the early ’60s.
From the top of the coke heap at my CofE junior school up the hill in Matlock, I could see over the wall and down to the railway station and observe trains passing through the Station. At home at night I often heard trains passing through the station and sometimes slipping on wet rails going North.
At 9 years old, I observed the most beautiful train I have ever seen. There was not a more beautiful train before it, nor since, neither in UK nor the rest of the world. It sealed my interest in railways and my career.
Thus, at least part of the distance between the Derwent river bridge to Holt Lane Tunnel including Matlock Railway Station, is my aim.
