OK it could mean two loco's in steam or have one diesel operating which can be shut down between turns

All hypothetical of course

The station looks better in the photo than it does in real life. At least as bad as the Duffield platform of the EVR if not worse.

You obviously haven't seen the EVR platform at Duffield recently! The snow hides a multitude of sins but it is the most recent photo I have (22.12.2010). Further progress has since been made and it will be finished for 6th April 2011!

I enclose a picture of Idridgehay Station Masters House for Gray taken on the same day.

Best wishes,
