what do have planned for 2017. i am really interested.

Hi Branchline. Thanks for enquiring. Things have rather changed a little on Sovereign Street. A new station building - more in keeping with the area - has been built, along with a new platform. I am now in the process of building a bridge to form a continuous run for the locomotives 'to warm up'.

Leeds Sovereign Street, (Its Sunday name,) is from the level crossing 4ft long by 1ft 10ins. I wanted to get the feeling I got as an eight year old, the almost claustrophobic atmosphere, walking to Sovereign Street for the bus to Dewsbury.

It wasn't too bad during the day, but I used to return back to Leeds at 7-8pm. Even in later years as a 15/16 year old I didn't dawdle.
