There's hope for me yet then. The garden is a jungle at the moment,I don't know what wildlife is buried 'neath the nettles, but seems I do have a bit of space to have an oval with a couple of sidings. Hooray!

Does seem like a bit of a jungle but a good days work will sort it out :D, just spent the weekend with my girlfriend sorting my sisters garden out in Portsmouth ( ruddy students didnt touch the garden for 10 months =[)

Before :

After :)

Atleast the land lady will be off of her back now :),

Back on subject... any garden what ever size is enough for a garden railway :) in that garden i would have a oval with a siding crossing the path and onto that border on the left :) also the left top corner would be a great place to have a feature (rockery, water fall with small pond in centre of the loop :D ?
