To celebrate my little railway gaining a place in the G Scale Journal, a few trains are once again doing the rounds.

Having a good purruse of your article.

Nah more like wondering when the next meal is arriving!

Today's trains. Featuring the oldest locomotive in my fleet, still surprisingly powerful, and smooth, the LGB 2-4-0. Separated from a starter set some 19 years ago. A testament to LGB quality.

Going to seem odd at work tomorrow. The railway has been operating for the last 5 days at some stage of the day. Job's today have been improving drainage around 10 points. The motor gets replaced about once a year, because of flooding when it pours down. They're not submersible as some would have you believe. So after been tested with the hosepipe, water now flows down the gully.

Keeping it simple today....

I see you are in the G Scale Journal and soon to be in Garden Rail....

Well, I've heard about Garden Rail last year, and I can't actually really remember what I provided for an article, but if it's anything like the G Scale Journal, somebody a lot cleverer than me will turn my words into something interesting and intriguing. I love people seeing my railway but I'm just not very good at portraying my 20 years of unplanned railways in a garden.....

A nice little surprise yesterday....

Erm I beg to differ, your regular pictures and words are an inspiration of what can be done in a modern house garden with relatively modest space.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, we're going a little further....

And why not, love to see a bit of land grabbing.

And how long before you seize the property across the road?

And how long before you seize the property across the road?

That thought crossed my mind.

Be careful though, you don't want to be too obvious to any nasty verminous scrotes who walk past

Postcrete and screws.....

I'm still unrepentantly jealous of that Nohab. Fortunately, even if I could afford one, it would be the wrong scale
