Nice one Chris... have you thought of becoming an advisor for BR so they can manage to run trains in the snow?
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Thanks Peter - but sadly I think that all trains in Summerlands will be cancelled tomorrow when the real snow hits Dorset. However I will be very happy to advise BR when they take over from Network Rail ;-)

Chris's railway videos always serve to remind me of why I want a garden railway.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys - and yes, we had all the snow and ice on Thursday. Today, however it was 12 degrees and sunny for a while! Then the rain came so I did a little editing - see separate post...... :)
