49 years ago we began the process of transforming a field into a garden. The interesting contours influenced the design. Little did we know that 34 years later when Michael had an urge to build a railway one part of the garden would provide the ideal spot. Although being a scenic railway it had not to dominate the garden, but rather merge with existing planting plus some new additions to help set the scene. The railway extends to well over a scale mile but blends in well and has coped with seven or eight trains running at the same time, so far!
Lineside features consist of both commercial and scratch built structures and there is quite a varied range of rolling stock.
Goods are transported through the rugged landscape, while passengers enjoy the dramatic scenery perhaps on route home, to visit friends or even a historic site of interest.
