Rebuilding the Garden (1) |
|
Our elevated wooden line had served us well for seven years, but it was time for a big change. The WCR was complex and quite demanding to maintain. It monopolised a section of garden where we wanted a summer house, a pond, and raised beds that could be tended from a wheelchair. With no regrets about starting with a wooden elevated line, this marks a new chapter in our 16mm story. So, shock horror! - the old WCR has been demolished. And this series of pages and pictures tells the story of rebuilding the garden with a simpler 110 feet out and back railway. The line will be level, running through two cuttings, a tunnel, a ground level section, and a partly elevated return loop. |
