Yes I'm still trying to locate the exact position of the station at Newton racecourse. I think I've got the vague area in mind, one day when I'm early for work (as if) I'll go & have a proper look. I've got the "Colour of a Lancashire Triangle" book, have seen the pics of Leigh station in that, must get round to buying the other one. Also that book "Mainline railways around Wigan" by Bob Paxton, has some intersting shots in it. He was on "Eggheads" last year too don't you know...
Will you be attending the Leigh Model Railway show next weekend or is it just the full-size railways that interest you?
Cheers
Pete
