LOL Yes and decided that I wanted something a little easier to sort out research locally

Which is why I am now seriously looking at Ashover Light Railway and Stretton Station
There was a planned interchange between the LMS Standard gauge and ALR's 2 foot gauge. There was a siding started on the Standard gauge which used to be used as a cripple siding for Northbound freight ( the outline of the siding is still visible on Google Earth)

So my idea is to get the plans and built the interchange as it might have looked if it happened
