That looks so peaceful.

Nothing in it suggests the darker side of back-garden steam: the sweat,
the dirt, the long hours' toil in workshops and ashpits, the shameless
exploitation of the owner's friends...

Wow, he's into it! There used to be a train set up similar to that
over in the town I grew up in. Unfortunately when the father died,
the son took over the property, ripped it all up and sold it.

That's a shame, but it'll all have been reused and loved. If the son
wasn't an enthusiast (perhaps the railway got more attention than he
did) it was better to sell the kit than to let it rust.

Paddy or Sue,

Can you tell me where I can find more miniature train pics like these? Eat
my SPAM to email me, if this is too far OT. Thanks.

There are quite a few galleries on the web. Putting a rail gauge into
your search engine seems to work quite well: "7 1/4 inch gauge" or "3.5
inch gauge" gets mostly miniature rail hits.

There's a varied gallery he

and some heritage stuff he
http://www.narrow-gauge.co.uk/gallery/57

This one's large enough to commute on:

Hmmm, it's a strange world out there!
