Hello all
This is a real long shot, but I'm trying to find a layout 'somewhere' on the internet; I thought it was RMW, but I can't find it.
Most of the description is fairly generic- a warehouse (hops?) set in the Fens, Anglia, UK. I think it was set as a GE joint railway with ??? though it was a fictitious 'based upon' type layout. I think it was built to EM, using hand built turnouts and flexi for straight sections.
This was really something to see- it was art as much as engineering and one of the best I've ever seen.
However, after page 3 or thereabouts, the builder announced that he had un-ceremoniously destroyed it as he was moving location (from deepest Africa) and couldn't arrange transport; he comically noted that he gave the baseboards to one of his staff who used it to repair a hole in his house roof.
That last point is probably the most memorable. On the off chance that anyone recognises it...
TIA
