BZB (BRADYEISCHE ZIGSPITZBAHN)

I've fitted those magnetic couplings to some of my rolling stock.

However, on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, I believe the loco is not physically coupled to the loco. I would assume this is the case for most rack railways (but not the MGB or ZB)....

The Snowdon railway's locos push the train up and acts as a brake on the way down as the line is nothing but incline.

Just found this thread. Enjoyed reading it very much. Is this planned to be the extent of the line, or can we expect extensions? I like how it's a bit secretive, with the occasional viewing window.

Cheers Pal, Deffo the start of something extremely "mediocre" in the whole of the garden... This is a branch line/ tourist line to the "top of the pergolaspize" and the mainline MOB railway is destined for the other side of the garden, after I have played with a digger for a couple days ! I love them Kybota mini diggers. Just was never expecting to get the "ok" from her who must be obeyed to create this in the first place.
