Yes wikipedia is something in the pipeline.
As the website is coming along more slowly than thought, I think I will create one tomorrow.
Its a bit late to do that now, I have a very slow computer.
Rough tor, this is what we have so far.

We want a narrow gauge line of nine miles in length in the long term between bollington and rose hill marple.
This will be of course in the longterm.
In the short term however, I have been sourcing track, and I am having some sleepers made.
Some sleepers are already finnished.
When i have figured out how to get photos off my camera and into my computer, I will be able to show some pics.

The very first step is asking a loco owner to help (we have one in our sights)
and obtaining permission from the council to plinth the loco in bollington station approach and a stand to explain a bit more.
Around this time there will be a meeting in wilmslow for everyone interested.

Here is what we have.
Some track, sleepers and ballast.

We sourced the track from the old peat extraction line at lindow.
(where lindow man was found) The track is in excellent nick because of the peat and is up to standard, but the sleepers have rotted.

So permanent way is what is actively being worked on, so when the order is given, we can begin right away and lay track out of bollington over the viaduct to the temp terminus.
Hope this helps.
