Wow indeed.
Ingenious method of controlling it as well.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Who'd have thought of creating a ride-on railway in such a small garden. I assume he turns the locos and stock from time to time to even out the flange wear....

Looks like aluminium rail so it wont be the flanges that wear.......
