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!

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!

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.
