Never heard of this before. Is this site open it to the public?

[railwaychannel]

@Isochest yes it is - check on the times but it's well worth a visit.

Am I hearing things but did Britain and the British switch from Kilometers and such to Miles? Or are they naturally accustomed to using miles?

I have been there! Years ago and they were doing a day out with thomas.

I think this is one of the best ever garden railways and it just show what some people can do.

Very nice setup, and good to see but the PW could do with plenty of TLC!

[penninefilms]

Know that's what you could a garden railway.

Fantastic video John; great to see Mangapps farm thriving after it taught me WHY railways are so much better then road:

I was helping to lay track and we had one of the 18 ton flat-wagons with sleepers on. Having laid a couple of sections, the boys asked me to push the wagon down a bit for the next section. I thought they were joking, but I was able to single handedly push this wagon along level track; Couldn't do that with a bus! A great demonstration in the efficiency of metal on metal!
