The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway

[Andrew]

Run 'em while ya got 'em!

"Curre ea cum te obtinuit eos"

The line's motto?

Yes, I just ran your line through Google translate...

Rampant campanula was my problem this year.

I love campanula - but that means I can't use the long siding at Trefechan until it's finished flowering and I can cut it back...

Rampant moss is mine... I'm thinking of starting an export business - using rail transport of course, if I can clear enough of it to allow the trains to run!

Oooh, I'm imagining something like the Irish peat lines, maybe with those rustic looking wooden crate wagons for the moss?!

That sounds wonderful! Put your railway to work. That's got me thinking, maybe I can run an extension out to the vegetable patch and compost pile

I'm reminded of this small working railway. I think I've seen the owner on this very site, once or twice :

Good to see Zach at home in his natural environment....

That's fantastic!

And also makes my annual plum train look positively sane...

So as I have about twice the area to play with, I suppose I could justify going to 7 1/4" gauge.


Beats harvesting blackberries in 45mm wagons..

If it's double Zach's, I reckon you could go up to 10 3/4, although you'd need an awful lot of blackberries to fill a wagon...

This years harvest is too big to mess about with crates! Hoppers are the only way to cope. The first moss train of the year is on its way!

That really made me smile - I love it!

Hi Andrew,

Glad you found the plates and got the road back in.

Creeping thyme is a great 'in scale' ground cover - but it does what it says on the tin, not only has mine engulfed the railway - it's over the path as well!
