Fascinating report Dave, it sounds as though you have enjoyed every minute of the build and can now share the pleasures of operating with others.
I have no personal ambition to run such a line but can appreciate the effort which you have put into your railway.
It is just a big toy and you are taking it no further, which is refreshing in these days of competitive one-upmanship Your grandchildren are fortunate to have such an experience, which hopefully will enhance their appreciation of craft skills such as yours.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Thank you for such a comprehensive report. Some interesting points in there for anyone considering building such a line. It is something I have considered but the ground slopes and we have already done enough heavy work since moving here. I do like the way you have done yours and suggest giving your advice careful thought.
