A visit to this compact line was made this balmy evening.....

And wasn't without mishaps!

Oops! - interesting derailment there

Nice looking little line, out of interest how compact exactly?

The garden is roughly 20' by 30' with line, which is two-thirds double tracked & the rest single, running round the edge.

That looks superb, not much smaller than the garden we'll be getting when we move! Just shows what can be done!

Some more pics from me from a warm evening at the PGR

Urien decends past Poolend station

Urien passing the pool

Curlew stalled near the summit, incompetant SLR fireman again...

Accucraft Lyn from the Fairfield Railway

PTLRcecil's single Fairlie Guenevere with the rarely seen PTLR mamod carriages

Kerrie Ann from the PTLR storms the bank

Finally, SLRmidge had his own trouble with derailed mamod wagons

Looks lovely, shows what good planning can do in a tight space.

Oh & I have a request for more pics (pm or in thread) of those detailed mamod coaches....please.

I have a couple of them slowly rusting away in the parts box & do like what you have to done to them. Inspiration needed or they will end up cut up at this rate!

The Mamod coaches are lovely and have lights in them too !

Many thanks to our host for an enjoyable evening of Steam.

Ermm, they are PTLRcecil's I believe (or his dads, you can never be sure who is whos with the PTLR rolling stock!) He hasn't been able to get here recently due to an increase in his workload, and that steamup was the first time I saw those coaches in 3 years! I believe they have just been repainted, fitted with centre buffers and had lights fitted though.
