Today the rapier took some skips around the line to check the tracks over the the mothers day special at the weekend.. (yeah right like im going to have time to play trains!)

Up the gradient.

Past the Porus Pot works (

)

The name "Sprat N Winkle" comes from the line that once ran through my village between romsey and andover. Infact the railway bridge bricks now form our garden wall

I love the industrial feel you've got there. What else are you planning for this railway?

Sprat & Winkle is also the name for a line of couplings in 4mm scale: see http://www.modelsignals.com/sprat&winkle_frame.htm

Instead of a well travelled wagon, we now have a well travelled coach!
