Barrow Hill Roundhouse

Yesterday i headed up to Chesterfield in Derbyshire to finally tick off a railway museum i have wanted to visit for some time. Barrow Hill Roundhouse is a surviving example of a railway roundhouse shed where a turntable serves a number of sidings for locomotives. The collection at Barrow Hill is amazing, including quite a few single surviving examples of the first generation AC electric locomotive classes which used to rule the West Coast Main Line.
