Something unusual in the May issue of Garden Rail - a photoshoot by me for the lead layout.
While on the IOM last year, I got chatting to Ian Beech, builder of The Lighthouse and Gorsebank Railway. This amazing G scale line runs around his cottage and operates completely automatically. I don't just mean the trains circle as a procession either, they run at different speeds so have to interact with each other stopping as required to let others past.
The day I visited was a bit damp, and since the line is right at the northern point on the island (get to the lighthouse and you've just missed it) but even so, it looks great.
We've also got a conversion of an LGB Stainz to a steam tram, making your own people, building a sawmill, making FR Bugbox coaches and restoring a Caradoc.
