Garden Railways in Mid Wales/Shropshire

[ivor the engine]

Hi
I've recenty taken delivery of a Roundhouse Darjeeling Garratt loco. I'm hoping there is somebody in the Mid Wales / Shropshire area that has a garden railway that would allow me to have a run on their track. My track will not be completed until the summer Many thanks

Although I am in West Wales, you would be most welcome to use my railway and I would be delighted to see your loco(s) running on it. It is a dog-bone loop with large radius curves and one running line with a slight incline.
pm me if you are interested.

If it is not too far away for you, then it sounds like the Hampton Loade Paddock Railway at the Severn Valley Railway might be a good place to try the garratt out on, from what I have seen it is a big railway and they seem to be welcoming to visitors too.
