Hello everyone,
My wife and l have just purchased a home on Anglesey. We have 1.2 acres and want to develop a 7 1/4" railway upon it, The longest run will be over 200'. It has some woodland and a stream along the longest stretch. If anyone is interested in helping to develop the layout and running please contact me at phippsdj@yahoo.com Looking forward to meeting you Daniel
Hello Daniel, I was involved in various BR civil engineering works on Anglesey, and if my experience of the enthusiasm of the local railwaymen is anything to go by, you will have no trouble getting help... once you get to know them! Dave
