I shall carry on as things emerged. So basically it was decided between my Dad and I that we were to build a line in the back yard as that is something we had both wanted for many, many years. Due to my Mum being wheelchair bound for as long as I could remember and due to the sheer necessity of access to the garden we were both unable to have this dream. Sadly in 2009 my Mum died and left us both behind and she moved to a better place, but I don't want to dwell on that at all. 2009 went and brought new beginnings for 2010 and as the summer approached Dad and I started to tame the immensely overgrown garden back to some sort of condition. We then drew out some rough sketches and walked about the garden alot talking where and what we wanted to create.
Ok, this is pretty much how the garden looked in the summer of 2010. As you can see there is plenty of junk about and the bonfire had just expired on the lawn. I shall refer back to this picture when discussing close ups.
This area and subsequent beginnings of the raised section at the top left of the image above. Through the flower bed on this fine piece of conveniently shaped steel girder/runner or something.
This area below shows the section behind the lower wall in the top image going through a small wall that cannot be seen. The line is going to exit through the wall and curve around to the right, again not seen in the top picture.
Looking back through the wall
Another view of the line exiting the wall
After the line exits the wall rounds the corner then it will go above a small (lower) pond and around to the right. This is the vertical line up the left hand side of the top picture that isn't visible.
Below shows the line from the lower pond following behind a tree. It will then curve back around to the raised area, top left of the first picture.
Look what the cat brought in? My little cat brought this mouse in that day and I found it scurrying around the kitchen. Caught the little dear though.
And I found many of these in the long grass by the lower pond. Newts are they?
There is more to come, but please bear in mind that this line is not going to be finished in this form or on these soils. The Ridgemont Hills Light Railway will have somewhere else to reside, I want to document what was going to happen. It is a shame because I think this railway would have had alot of character.
Sorry if this thread is a bit boring but it does have a point. 
Are there any plans for your current one??
