[steam for ever]

Oh to answer the question about passing loops.
Yes we will have them mainly at stations but also one for busy times such as galas between Bollington and Higher poynton. Chances are we will put a halt here for country walkers. Even without this we will still have four stations:
Bollington, Higher poynton, Middlewood high level and one side of rose hill marple if network rail will permit us. If not we will go for a station just after the sandard gauge buffers. Of course we will try to put a passing loop if there is a demand for it, but we also want to leave room for the path.
