Don't worry Laalratty. I had an open day for my first line last year. About a dozen people turned up to play trains on my 15 yard long railway! We had great fun, and my mum didn't mind a bit (she actully liked it because everyone was thanking her for making wounderful victoria sponges for them ).
Garden Railways-best hobby in the world.

Hey cecil, you forgot the mad burger flipper coming down to the Afonglas and Nant Llywydd Rly also!
How level is the line ratty? I'm prob bringing my mamod!

She has a welsh name, and this is the first time she'll have run on a rly with a welsh name since I got her!
Incidentally, what is the Welsh to English translation on Afonglas and nant Llywydd Rly? I tried usin the net translators, and my sketchy memory of learning welsh at uni, and came out with something like 'River (Afon) Blue(Glas) One licked Tooth (Nant Llywydd). What does it actually mean?

I only figured that out about a couple of weeks back. I think it was you (silly billy) who put it in brackets next to the shorthand.

Afonglas is a play on words for Ravenglass!!!! (Plus the estuary at Ravenglass does look particualy blue in most light, Glas is the word for bluebungle80a wrote:Hey cecil, you forgot the mad burger flipper coming down to the Afonglas and Nant Llywydd Rly also!

The Nant Llywyd means grey ravine (I hope, it came from a welsh dictionary) and is a very good description of my heavily sloping, paving slab based garden when the rain water off the street is pouring down the hill
The railway is about as flat as something that is not flat at all Ruling gradient 1 in 60, but I have some 1 in 70 on some sharp curves, the mamod could have a fun time (well you won't be short on excersise as you chase it uphill and downdale!)
