An overgrown rockery has been  converted into a wonderful model of an Irish narrow gauge railway in the 1930s. Although the scale (1:20.3) is quite large, the railway occupies a relatively small space (five feet by twenty feet).

This site is a treasure trove of interesting information and lovely pictures, so please take time to visit it.

The terminus was entirely steam operated till it closed in 1969. David says "Some of the plans and timetables and the operating "graphiques" are inevitably a bit small and they didn't have room for all the diagrams so if anyone wants larger copies of my original scans do let me know.  BTW Bastille's final throat design is incredible with simulataneous arrival and departure from any two platforms out of the five and all in just seven points lengths (Minories requires five for three platforms with fewer simulataneous workings)". ]]><![CDATA[Brink Valley Tramway in July 2010 Railway Modeller]]>Thu, 10 Jun 2010 08:16:28 -0800http://wealden.weebly.com/1/post/2010/06/brink-valley-tramway-in-july-2010-railway-modeller.htmlThanks to Christopher Payne for letting us know that Brink Valley Tramway, an entry in the Wealden Railway Group "3 x A4" competition, appears  in the July 2010 edition of Railway Modeller. There is a five page article with photographs by Craig Tiley on pages 524 to 528. ]]><![CDATA[Pictures from the Chiltern Rambler Excursion]]>Sat, 29 May 2010 23:46:17 -0800http://wealden.weebly.com/1/post/2010/05/pictures-from-the-chiltern-rambler-excursion.htmlGiles Barnabe has sent in some pictures taken on the recent Chiltern Rambler Excursion (a.k.a.
