Here are the plans for the Grockle Garden Railway. At present only the shed and that makred in black and blue are layed and in some sort of working order todate due to the current weather. That marked in red is yet to be built, inclduing the 16 foot long three platform station.

The shed, red is sidings

The garden red is still to be done

The GGR in its early days going back to 2006 when the first trains were run

Slight changes with a station now in situ 2010

more changes in 2012, the red girder bridge is no more and branchline has been relayed

Christmas 2012

Early March 2013

I looked at the plan and thought $hit! - then I realised it was 4mm scale!

I don't make my exact location general knowledge due to low lives that frequent the area.

However I have sent you a PM with details

Here are a few more pictures taken a couple of years ago of a running day on the GGR

And I've also got this as well. In full working order dating back to 1930

Great stuff

Always nice too see people using the small stuff outdoors - it must be nice to have the room for full length express trains!

Unfortunetly I am unable to have 'open days' as its all to do with getting the necessary insurance. The cost would have been prohibitive. I do however have the odd 'friend' around but that is by personnel invite only.

The majority of the Tinplate is Pre-war, and can be dated as far back as 1923 to about 1930.
