I remember a CJF article about a somewhat extended version Minories (including a goods yard at Leadenhall) in an early 1980s Model Railways planning special. As a last note he stated that it is Min, not Mine...
...and another thing... Just bought the new Key bookazine on modelling parcels and mail trains, there's a page within documenting the use of several former city centre stations after closure to passengers as Parcels Concentration Depots, so if you like the Minories plan but passenger operation doesn't float your boat, how about "Minories PCD"...there would be scope for modelling non-passenger coaching stock as well as converted and purpose-built parcels DMUs (sometimes with vans trailing or within sets), all sorts of locos sculling around and lots and lots of BRUTEs and tractors...
