Hi everyone a year or so ago i saw a video of a railway line running that was a working garden railway. Trains would pickup coal at one end and then unload it at the other. I believe the engines were freelance and it was from England. Has anyone seen it or know which railway im talking about?

thanks

(mods feel free to move if this is in the wrong section)
 
It's not the one featured in Garden Rail Recently is it?

Proper working mineral line with block working and a fleet of corporate scratch-built diesels.
 
I found this in my "Liked videos" on Youtube.

Now that is some well scratch-built layout!
Great slow motion machanics going on in those locos
 
GR 238 and 239 covered the original layout. 238 covered the construction and working of the railway, 239 the loco's and stock. Haven't found the article about the rebuild yet, but I'm sure I've seen it.

I thought there were just the two articles??

It would also be interesting to know the thinking of the owner, and why they moved to 45mm??

It would be a brilliant exhibition layout, with all that activity.. Though it seems a little limiting for (playing trains) in the garden? - Possibly it is the construction, and getting over the mechanical problems that motivates the builder, more then the operation?
 
The rebuild is covered in Garden Rail 243 (November 2014).

The owner gives the weather as the main reason but I am guessing he fancied a project :-)

Sadly Phil like many on this forum, you appear not to understand the joys, exitement and just plain fun of Operating a Railway like the Real Thing. If you ever would like to try, a day in St.Neots could be a rewarding experience for you.
