Time to build a railway...but where?

I have no idea how long it would take to produce such an image but I'm grateful that someone would make the effort to do so.

It could be AI. Just be thankful the figures have not turned out to be clad in their underwear.....

Hi Peter

I think the weather is going to improve from the 13th onwards so don't give up hope .

Thanks Chris... the weather has been rough here but I often think of you in your windy location overlooking the Preseli Hills.

That picture is very evocative. It will make a fine talking point.
Of course, as I write this, we are enduring the hottest June temperatures ever recorded in England and Wales. Talk about from one extreme to another!

Last Friday, as if on cue, a warm, dry and sunny day was perfect for a pre-planned visit by a small number of our local modellers group. Not all of them railway modellers, but with a common interest in model making.
We enjoyed a cooked breakfast, superbly prepared by Mrs B, with ample supplies of tea, coffee and fruit juice, followed by croissant and fruit spread.
Reluctantly we then set about watching the trains go by.
One of our group is Ian Arkley, a near neighbour with a wonderful 7 1/4" ride-on railway ( ) who has much experience in producing Youtube videos, and who kindly offered to make a video of the occasion.
This is the result, which shows some of the Grumpy Old Men enjoying themselves.

An excellent documentary showcasing your railway and your work, Peter. I don't remember seeing those green carriages behind the double Fairlie before.

His 7.25" line is impressive, too. That looks like some major civil engineering was involved.

Some very good shots of your excellent railway. You must be well chuffed, excuse the pun .

The bowsider coaches were from 'The Lineside Hut' and are lovely vehicles, very well cut and styled. I made them in March '21 and detailed the build in my thread. Altogether I built 5, four in green and one in brown, also shown in the video.

I am indeed Chris. It is a nice record of a wonderful day with friends.... that's what it's all about!
