Sorry MTa for taking your go you can go after me, I've just remembered I have this photo:

Judging by the size of ballast displayed it is not standard gauge and probably not narrow gauge either.

So a miniature railway.

The Joys of Life Railway?

No it's one of the two sizes you ruled out

OK so back to my first thought of a remote toilet facility Leadhills style.

Eagerly waiting for your 2nd photo clue!

Or it could fit this recent headline from the Daily Post - Ffestiniog Railway to shed staff. But it would be a tight squeeze for 9 people in there I think.

Not sure if this is any better, the next one should make you click if we get there.

Castle Caereinion on the WLLR.

Nope, stick to the private railways.

I know but that takes the fun out of things, anyway this one is quite easy to get in to.

anyway this one is quite easy to get in to.

But is that action lawful?

I appreciate that we are all railway enthusiasts and members of various societies, etc. but if we all cannot freely access the railway in question then that takes the fun out of it for others.

Interesting to see this thread is not getting much action either now, as it feel flat on the other Forum.

Just need to go back to taking topics Off Topic instead!

Oh yes very lawful, you don't have to be a member of any particular society, just need the details of how to get tickets, send off money, then turn up.

On that then I'd say Statfold.

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 6:20 pm

dear ye, when Chris metioned Statfold it reminded me of the pic of the garden shed I had.

I say that about the sending off for the tickets, but we got invited by the West Lancs Railway having made friends with them when they brought Stanhope over here. The rest of my pics are here: www.billsrailpics.fpic.co.uk/c902503.html

GSM forum had a trip there last month- wouldn't have thought about it if not!

That mean it's my go?

Chris Cairns · Post by **Chris Cairns** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 8:02 pm

Ah well.

Both Lawley Hill Railway & Statfold Barn Railway are 'By Invitation Only' (not public access railways) so you are fortunate to have visited them, as I've not had that luck yet.

And for the record, Statfold Barn Railway is actually Standard Gauge, Narrow Gauge & Miniature as well. Not sure I like what he has done to the ex-Java locos, but it is private so he can do what he likes.

I am now in a posistion to put in an entry for people to guess (with thanks to SLRmidge). The place is open to the public but the railway only run occasionally, so for 1, where is this?

Good luck

Brecon Mountain Railway

No im afraid not, though I tink you are going to have to use that pic for a bit as Midge only sent me 2, and the second one is the probable giveaway

National Slate Museum, Llanberis?

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 8:46 pm

Nah it's not Llanberis.

Threlkeld perhaps?
