They're everywhere! It's a pity you don't have as many railways in Australia

I did think about the Great Central Railway, I suppose we'd have to ask bessietractor about the date when the Great Cockrow Railway was first set up to find out who got the title 'GCR' first

| On the topic of railway videos, this is a video of the Ffestiniog Railway's 2ft gauge Boat that I help build the running gear for, on a test run. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G3uz0rgSJA You may laugh! |

1968...we win
in actual fact the railway was originally built in Sir John Samuel's garden, and a couple of our members date back to the original railway, which opened in the late 40s. When he died the railway moved to its present site, and went from garden railway to becoming an actual self sufficient railway. |
