Wath Yard
While reseaching Annesley I found some info on Wath yard, how far is it from Annesley and is there a 8H 0-8-4 kit avalable?
The weather here is Baltic but so were the tank engines

Or a high security prison!
Eg. Whitemoor near March (Cambridgeshire).
Arms factories and dumps seem to have a more colourful later life. The Thorpe Arch complex (near Wetherby) is now partly trading estate / retail park (eg. furniture stores - each in its own bunker). The rest is taken up by the British Library. It is where they keep all their periodicals, journals, etc amongst other things.
The arms store along the old Oxford-Cambridge line near Lordsbridge (just west of Cambridge city) is now a radio telescope complex. The dishes of the Ryle Telescope are routed on the track bed of the O-C line, and some of the bunkers still survive. The experimental COAST telescope is mainly in a small bunker - I know because I had a tour around the place shortly after they started COAST operations

Ah Whitemoor, its not that long ago that I worked trains in and out of here when it was good old British Rail, believe it or not the signalling infrastructure for the closed Spalding bit was still in place as far as Twenty Foot River signalbox ( far end of Norwood Yard ) till nearly the end as far as I remember
