A local developer bought the lot at the last minute and has been restoring everything. I understand there were significant amounts of work to do on the buildings. The collection was significant too, with some very unusual models including such things as miniture engines by Timothy Hackworth as well as all the full size stuff. At the time it was a real result that the whole thing wasn't split up by auction. I cannot tell if the sale as a site is intended to be the final result of the restoration and see it back in use as a museum, conference centre and training facility or if the restoration has broken the bank and it's all being turned into money. Hopefully the first. I've been looking forward to seeing it re-open for years. regards Martin
