Grovenor sidings represents a mythical piece of the BR London Midland Region somewhere to the East of Manchester, ex Midland territory with through trains from the Eastern Region across the Pennines. The line runs through difficult territory with steep grades and tunnels, represented is a section of double track main line with passing loops, a locomotive depot, a moderate size terminal station and a branch leading to some storage sidings. These sidings were built in 1968 and used briefly before being stored for almost 20 years whilst I worked overseas, hence the name. The rest of the layout has been built up slowly over the past 10 years and is still far from complete.
Below are a selection of photos giving some idea of the topography of Grovenor Sidings. For my locos pulling power is paramount.
