Had know the line was for sale I would have bought it without a pause for thought.
These two lines were constructed in a way which really strains the small gauge and to me seems a bit too small for such long railways and for such large locos and stock.
It was very stable when I have ridden them though.
A thing about Miniature railways- over a short distance they are better for seeing the sights if you know what I mean. You feel more at one with the landscape.
The Wells- Walsingham light railway is a 10.25 inch gauge line that runs for a huge 4 miles!
The powerful garratt loco is a wonderful piece of engineering.
I will put a guide to that line on the forum as well once I can find the 2007 diary.
PS. There is a pic I put on here of the WWLR loco at Walsingham- see gallery.
