I quite like the way it seems to weave through the standard gauge sidings (and even across one). Now we know the track and sit-in carriages (as well as the Hymek-thing which isn't in the photos) came from Higher Polgassic/Rode, and the S/O loco and sit-astrides were sold on eBay a few months back, but the questions are: Where did the S/O and sit-astrides come from exactly?? I seem to remember the ad said a country park in the Bristol area? And what's that nice little blue shunter - anyone got any more info on that? Cheers

Had a nice trip along the standard gauge line, was shown the interesting standard gauge loco collection, and had a look at the non-operational 7.25" line. Photos below. Body of the 'hymek' is now at the trackside, and according to the website the body is now a Class 31. Anyone know where the enclosed coach bodies came from?
