One video that'll be close to Justin's heart! It kind of is for me as well, as I have family in Coalville, and may give ideas on modelling to everyone. It's footage of the last two open days at Coalville depot, on Mantle Lane. The depot closed in late 1990, when rediagramming led to crews being based elsewhere. The line still exists, as does the depot yard on Mantle Lane. There has been talk, from time to time, of a reopening of the line for passenger traffic. As yet, nothing has come of it. And in case anyone is wondering, I'll have the 47s please! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjXba-ygkA8
