Here I am going to post stories off my garden railway, but if it was real. Hope you enjoy and will continue until i run out off ideas
22nd August 1983
The sun was shining, the world standing quite. I went into the ticket office to be greeted by a cheery man. I purchased my ticket, a return to Parkwood. I steped onto the platform then, not a soul in sight. I then saw a locomotive in the distance, a diesel. It growled along until it stoped in the platform with two splendid coaches. I decided to inspect the locomotive further, which looked newly painted, the sun gleeming off it. The loco also turned out to be No.4 'Feanor', a rare loco on passenger trains.

the next bit...........
I then decided to board the train, in a corris style coach. No sooner had I board the guard blew his whistle, the loco responding with his horn, and we were off.
In no time at all we passed a junction, I'll have to investigate that laatter i thought.
So we carried on slowly until we arrived at Hermit Hole station. A few people boarded so the wait was short, and we set off yet again. On the way to the next station we passed both the engine sheds and thorugh a tunnel. We passed Wood Bridge station to, as no one requested to stop. A short while latter we arrived at the end of the line, Parkwood. Here everyone left the train, so did the loco

some more..................
As I had a short wait I decided to have a look around . I noticed a small goods shed in the corner of my eye, with some people unloading crates inside. I went over for a chat and found out the next train was steam hauled.
Also in the goods shed was a small battery loco, which I learnt waas No.12 'George' from th Abbey Light Railway.
some more to come (again).................
