| Introduction | A potted history: ‘Our’ line at home commenced building in February 2019 after taking up the 16mm hobby in October 2018, further to visiting the Talylln Railway in Wales. We are fortunate enough to have garden space to build our own, but at the outset we decided we didn’t want it to take over the garden, but compliment it. Not really having any previous experience (apart from being a ‘Stoker’ in the Royal Navy for 10 years, does that count?) we again decided that we ‘would just go for it’. No particular theme has been included i.e our line is not based on any real life railway anywhere, and I make no apologies for that. What we have tried to do is introduce some of our own 'life history' into the layout, which is why you will see ‘flashes’ from our past built into the site! (Not a lot here then!). We now have 34 metres of single 32mm track with four short sidings. |
