You really do need to pay us a visit at the Dunham’s Wood Light Railway, near March in Cambridgeshire, there is a wonderful choice of battery, IC and steam traction running through a delightful woodland setting.

Listen to the sound of those Honda GX120 engines on full chat. It doesn't remind you of go karting, a lawnmower or a generator at all. Looks a great little minature railway and the locomotives are pretty decent little things.

If it isn't Lawrie, who practically could've been my brother. Though I'm leaning more toward cars as far as my interests go. But I still love trains. And I am sure I would've found myself getting distracted looking at all the rolling stock in the sheds as well 😄 You've reminded me of miniature railways and I'll be sure to see how many there are in my country and hopefully visit them between now and the end of the year. And maybe at some point I'll visit the ones in the UK as well. I'm sure I would like it on your side of the north sea.

Lawrie should visit the dolgarrog railway society. Not a public railway tho if you email them you could have a chance. They also have a little loco called Tarus. I know it runs just hasn't moved in a while. Also great news with the ruston.

If I recall it’s to do with the power of getting up the bank with a full load of passengers as it’s a bit of an incline for the umph the one engine on its own has.

It's to speed things up on return to the platform, and one is effectively the guard when on the back end

Those Honda engines are pretty fuel efficient. Hence why they are mostly chosen for applications in garden machinery, small construction machinery, generators and go karts.

They were both pretty empty and had 2.5 litres of petrol added to them both. One ran out just as we were putting it into the shed.
