Hi Phil,

It's at Highley on the Severn Valley Railway, looking south from the new footbridge. The track to the right leads to the Engine House visitor centre which now occupies the site of the former exchange sidings for Highley colliery. There is a walk through the woods on the right up the former incline to the site of the colliery which is now a country park.

With the slight change of emphasis on Templot start-up from individual turnouts to flowing curved track design I thought the splash photo should do the same. I included the water tank to echo the letter T of Templot. :)

Here's another pic:

Thanks Martin

Cheers Phil
