[steam for ever]

Narrow gauge- a subject that is not always for everyone, but certainly has a more relaxed quality.

Well I have had another idea. Please hear me out on this one, I've been thinking about it for four days now.

In England, we know that 2 foot gauge was not king as it was Wales, as space was less restricted. Instead, 4 foot gauge was used on quite a large scale in many parts of the country. Some private systems and light railways had this gauge. Although 2 foot gauge is the outright king in Wales, the Padarn railway (on which the Llanberis lake railway runs on the trackbed of part of the line) was one.

Despite the widescale use of the gauge, there is no steam line running with gauge in the Uk today.
The Penryn castle museum has the only exhibit of a 4ft gauge loco and train.

Is it time that one of these lines was rebuilt to provide something unique?
Standard gauge enthusiasts can relate to this , with it being to close to standard.

Here are a few examples of the lost lines:

The saundersfoot railway
The Redruth and Chasewater railway
The Padarn railway
The Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr railway

The last to survive was the Padarn railway, which closed in 1963.
The Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr railway was converted to standard gauge when it became part of the GWR.

Any thoughts on this one chaps?
