I'm not going to because:
a) It's in my front garden,
b) There is no doubt about the fact is in my garden, and I own a small share of it and that fraction of a mm is outside my front door.

Pete's however is more than 3m outside his front door, and he doesn't own a share of it.

Pauly how's the line coming on?

If the loco's go past close enough to prune your bushes then it's pretty much a garden railway!

Terrific photo there, that must be an ideal location for any narrow gauge enthusiast!

The flying bench thing is cool! But how come there's only 1 running board on 1 side?

Including me. That weathering really looks like abang up job. If I didn't know better I'd say that it was genuine!

not much has really happened with this I took 1 look at the instructions for the auto shuttle system and thought; good god I cant do this!; so I showned it to my dad and he pretty much said the same thing so we are going to ask the guy who fixed Caradocs RC if he can do it for me, heres some pics of what ot should look like when its finished

I havent glued the axle boxs on yet
