Nice pics @dansgas1000
Hasn't changed much since I went here back in 2016.
Shame you missed the station bit...

Yes I've been comparing these pictures with the ones you have on line at Dinting engine shed/station, Derbyshire, November 2016

For completeness some information about the miniature railway seen in the video.
The Buxton Model Engineering Society was formed on June 24th 1946 by Messers R Hattersley, E Morton, W Randell, H Townley, W Dixon and L Hobday.
In 1976, the society built a miniature railway at the Dinting railway centre Glossop. This ran for many years giving rides to the public until the closure of the railway centre in 1990. The miniature railway was dismantled and stored but unfortunately a suitable location was not found and the railway was sold on.

I like that a lot mate and would visit it myself. It's very photogenic.

Nicely captured! I was here on the weekend, it's a lovely little spot! I managed the station, it's definitely worth a look as well, although don't think I did it justice, as I was rushing to keep the daylight to send the drone over Chatterley Whitfield

It's amazing how much detail you can pull from this place and the societies relating to it. I appreciate the details.

Thanks mate, it's definitely worth a look if you're up that way.

Thanks, yeah I will hopefully do the station next time. Chatterley is lovely, hope you got some good footage there.

I was back in the area last weekend and had some time to check out the other bits I missed including the old train station, outbuildings and what I assume is the old station platform. The old station, although falling to bits, had some nice features remaining and had some really nice decay and peel on the walls etc.
