Hi all, my is Callum and I started my first Garden Railway back last spring, known as the Blagdon & Butcombe Light Railway. Progress on the lines construction and development has been documented via my YouTube Channel SDJR7F88 and a topic I started on RMeb (I'll post a link, so it should give a good run up of the story so far) 
I got the name from villages that surround the famous trout fish lake in Somerset. Ironically it turns out there was a Light Railway that did service the lake during construction,sadly there is not much info on the railway itself, but my Granddad who is helping me build the railway, did see one (or the only) loco left in a hedge row before it was removed for scrap, in the late 30's early 40's.
The Garden Railway itself of course is free lance (is there any other option)
, with a mixture of German and US themed rolling stock, though with a nod to the possible engine that served the real lake, in the form of an LGB O&K in Green (the real loco could of even been an O&K from what I have heard).
Anyway, the railway is just about to come out of it's first winter hibernation and I look very much forward to adding, improving and of course running the layout this year. With help from all the great tip and trick from this forum.
Hear's a link to the story so far...
