‘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"

I seem to remember seeing this layout at a Model Railway Exhibition in Milton Keynes a few years ago.

Andy, I believe the exhibition will be running until the end of February.

The model of Towcester is coming out of the museum in the middle of Feb as it needs some electrical work on it as it returns to the exhibition circuit from March onwards in 2017.
The rest of the exhibition will close at the end of Feb.
