Putting some feelers out.... If we did a raffle for an hst cab ride, once in a lifetime opportunity, EMR sheffield to London service would you be interested at £10 a ticket? All proceeds go to western park hospital.

Lots of people ask how I fitted in so much on this layout, it looks huge on twitter but it's not really, lots of tight hidden curves and a cunning track plan. Hope this explains it. Feel free to ask any questions 👍
