It is impressive, as much for its size as anything else.
Can you imagine that plot of land here, it would cost a fortune, even if one could find that much space available that wasnt scheduled for building (too dear) in a Green Belt, or whatever.

[quote Feels like a visit being planned for this year Andy[/quote] I have been to two of the Triennial meets 2000 and 2003 and given a clear road will be there in 2006. Going to the Triennials gives the visitor the best chance to see a large and varied selection of locomotives. There are usually a few vendors there, which are worth checking out. You can also hire a battery powered one man speeder to do a bit of exploring yourself. I managed to get lost even with a track map. They also do a ramble before and after the meet when you can visit other tracks. Some of the power you will have seen at Train Mountain but there is also a chance you will see other stuff that didn’t make it to the TM show. Even the small tracks in the US’ are bigger than anything you will find in the UK. Then there are the private tracks some of which may be on the rambles that you would not normally get access to. Well worth a look, as there has been some serious money and effort put into these tracks also. So if I were you I would save your pennies up for 2006, I am Jim |
