1 November 2008 - John Varley's Ghylldale Light Railway at Leeds Model Railway Exhibition

John Varley's Ghylldale has always been one of my favourite 009 exhibition layouts and I will not hesitate to grab an opportunity to see it if at all possible. Unfortunately however John's home in Leeds and my own in Dorset are some 280 miles apart, but the runes came together on the 1st of November as my wife and I had arranged to travel to Huddersfield to visit a family friend at just the same time that John was exhibiting Ghylldale at Leeds Grammar School - only some 25 miles away from where we were visiting. A lucky coincidence or a triumph of covert logistic planning? Who cares, I managed to get my camera in front of Ghylldale anyway and it was "only" a 17 hour round trip and 600 miles in foul weather to do it! Of course it was worth it, how else are you going to see photos of this attractive layout anyway.......
