Hi,

Thanks for your kind replies. I'm sure the two of us will come up with a good representation of the Island of Sodor.

I must admit that the research bug has taken hold again, perhaps that's the writer in me always wanting to find out more. I've started to look into all the local railway lines in the Levenmouth area of Fife. I never knew there were so many coal pits in such a small area, each with it's own line running to it. The two main operators were the Wemyss Coal Company and the Fife Coal Company along with some other smaller companies.

My main interest however is the Kennoway Goods Yard. I lived there for 25 years and knew about the old railway line but not the yard. I recent trip found some of the building still standing and a section of platform. I'll post some photos once I get my editing software fixed.

Alex
