Love it!!! A bit disconcerting about the time it takes to re-appear after disappearing behind the house, but otherwise, beautiful.

You didn't spoil mine, it's beautiful. In fact, you have given me some ideas. Thank you

Wow what a railway, and the motive power selection isn't too shabby either! 8)

A lovely railway in a lovely garden and lovely photos.
The idea of circumnavigating the house with the railway is one we can't use on the Crowfoot Light Railway unfortunately.  The main reason is for security as we don't want to advertise the presence of the railway to everyone and our front garden is easily viewed from the street.  Most people round here are ok but like everywhere we have a share of less savoury characters.  
Our back garden is not overlooked at all.

I always look with interest where the washing line is in a garden with a railway in it. I see in your drawing it is catered for.

Your garden rail is a dream for everybody. Please share more photos around the year, it's must be very nice in Spring and Fall seasons.

Oh to have a nice large garden.

Thanks for posting these photos - a very nice setting with some interesting locomotives & rolling stock.

Thanks for this. Just to confirm absolutely no illusions shattered, but really interesting to see how it fits into the overall garden.
