    I think they are developing a 12½" 12¼" gauge line.

    I’m not sure of the gauge, I think it’s smaller than 15” though, possibly 12 1/4”. There’s Alan Keef diesel loco 73 and a few (maybe 5?) Liverpool carriages in a nice new shed. The shed is in the far corner behind the large exhibition hall and runs from there around the adjacent field. The line appears to be called the Mease Valley Railway, but I don’t think it’s open yet. Graham Lee pointed it out to us when we were there earlier in the year, otherwise we might not have spotted it.

    That is my memory also. We went twice and it was very annoying!

    I remember seeing another photo online several years ago, possibly taken on the same day. Whether it is still online, however, I'm not sure. You could try Googling it...
