Sumpter Valley Mallet pulling 17 double bogies, not a record I know, but still a pleasing site

That's still a lot of them! Have you felt how much resistance they put up by trying to pull them along with your hand?

I have to say that I struggled to pull them along by hand! The resistance is phenomenal......

An amazing layout considering the space you had available! Very nice design. I too wish I had some easy access storage.

I particularly like the use of the wooden sleepers as edging. Fits perfectly with the line.

Decided to reconfigure the station area and have a shorter platform on both sides as opposed to one long platform on the one side. Any thoughts?8248571B-F5F1-42FF-A7AA-C46A6007CBA4.jpeg01DE88A5-C859-4DC8-B33C-75E5D660C553.jpegAAC973B6-61B2-43C2-8D89-37CD49D1EF86.jpeg9CA70258-2032-4E23-8924-61F1C18F2089.jpegA43FF22A-9523-45AD-BE4C-AE00B4BD7371.jpeg

I like the double station configuration. I would also put a gantry walkway over the tracks between the stations I think (since your asking)......

But does it meet current accessibility regulations? >:)

Probably not..
Also, my eldest Daughter would hate crossing it, as she does not like 'open' heights.. :rolleyes:

I would like one, but fear it might be a little fragile for my garden environment? :think:

Quick!
Whack that mole before it undermines the track! :giggle:

Have you left the conifers in their pots? - Will make it so much easier to control them if you do.. :think:
