Here they are...the photos we couldn't pay anyone to take...

This page has photos taken by the keen eyed and digitally challenged members of the NMRS. The innocent claim sanctuary...
"Belle Vue" was a fictional station somewhere in the Midlands. The station follows GWR practice, while on the lower level is an LMS rebuilt, 4-road LNWR engine shed which has been scratch built to the highest exhibition standards by Tony Thorn. The shed was loosely based on the one at Tredegar.

A rather clean 8f, is being called on, in the shed.
Some of these photos don't show the ballasting that has now been completed.

Looking back into the station from its approaching roads.
From this photo, you can see just how much work has gone into getting the layout ready for exhibitions...and there's still lots to do. Thanks to Bill, the ballasting is now complete!
