  • I am building a 7 1/4 inch gauge garden railway to raise money for charity in the name of my Dad and my brother, who died of MND.
    This is a quick video showing the story of the railway so far and the progress that we have now made. Still a long way to go, but hopefully this catches everyone up with where we have got to.

    I have enjoyed your presentation, I too built a garden railway in cornwall, dug the tunnel by hand and lost 2 stone in weight !! that was nearly 30 years ago. Well done sir - keep up the great work

      Haha I bet you did! I can assure you that all weight loss and muscle build that occurred during the process has been completely lost since I finished and my lockdown diet began!! 😂
      Thank you ever so much for the kind words and encouragement. I will keep going! 👍

    Crazy cute steamer! I'm working backwards from your Turntable vid. Getting exhausted watching the manual labor, I need to grab a pint of Bitters and relax. Cheers, Bob

    Brilliant line, love all your updates. You do need a wagon for the dog, looks like it was desperate for a ride. I know my dog a goldie called Barney would need the track.

      Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I’m not sure he would stay in the wagon, but would be great fun if he did! 😊

      TimeTraveler 1963 yes Steve is a lovely chap. He looked after Idris so well. He was so helpful when he sold it to me and I will certainly be looking after it just the same. Such a free steaming engine. Thank you

    Hello, have really enjoyed watching your videos, and what a brilliant idea to raise money for charity while doing something you love. I’m part of a 5 inch gauge ground level miniature railway at The Lavender Line at Isfield in East Sussex and we also collect for charity - the Evelina Children’s Hospital, London. There’s several videos of it on my channel. Look forward to future updates.

    Hello there I have searched the web and I can’t find it where you got your two riding coaches and electric loco From they look fantastic and just the sort of thing I was looking for?

      The coaches are second hand ex-moors valley, not available commercially. The loco is Ride on Railways.
