Garden Railways in Mid Wales/Shropshire

Hi
I've recenty taken delivery of a Roundhouse Darjeeling Garratt loco. I'm hoping there is somebody in the Mid Wales / Shropshire area that has a garden railway that would allow me to have a run on their track. My track will not be completed until the summer Many thanks

Jigstones

Just read an article on jigstones and would like to try making a building. However the moulds are quite expensive and they can only be bought in Germany.
