A 16mm scale narrow gauge railway in a West Wales garden…

Site Survey

I’ve been asked for photographs after my last post in which I described the chosen location for the railway.

Well, it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words, though these aren’t great photos, so they might only be worth 7 or 8 hundred words. Though thinking back on it, my words weren’t particularly great words, so a thousand of them is probably fair.

Anyway, I’ve done my best to mark up the diagram to show orientation, so you might have some idea of where each photo is taken from.

    @moelrhos As a connoisseur of tumbledown, overgrown walls, I love your garden wall.

    @aderixon Thanks! It’s to become less overgrown during construction. But no less tumbledown. And soon nature will put back overgrown, too.
