Great find though Craig! Wonder if the railway was running, through the art series?

Apparantly the person doing so is very rich, so the cost of doing so will not be greatly significant to them. The other thing I have heard is that the new railway will finish just 30 feet from Peco, however at the moment there are no plans for an actual connection to the Peco line, something to do with Peco's manager being uninterested. This of course could all just be a pipe dream...
