‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways' 

Gone but not forgotten: "the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth"

It's under groups on the banner header of the site.  You have to join the modelling group, then you can see the content.  I think Andy created the group so that the real SMJ research was not cluttered with our efforts, some of which are awesome!  Blisworth, Blakesley and a guy has even started out on Towcester recently!

Now I am back in civilisation, modelling Blakesley has recommenced.  I know it's not for everyone but It's looking pretty good now.  (he said, modestly).  There are recent colour pictures on the modelling groups pages.
