Re: Merlins Castle Line
Met a friend the other day,, and he handed me a little package. Inside these beautiful turntable locking levers appeared. What a work of art. Amazing hand made. I haven’t fixed them to the turntable yet They were based on an American Narrow Gauge Railway.

Re: Merlins Castle Line
The picture in the shed was bought from the well known auction site. Type in Tuscany landscape mural wallpaper and you should be able to find it. It just resembled the view behind the shed, so I was very pleased.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
That looks really good Peter, if I had known I would have come and helped you. Don't know if I could have pushed the barrow up to your track tho.
