1st Jan 2008 Little Orchard Railway DVD...a quick review !

My good lady wife, the long suffering Linda, didn't know what to get me for Christmas so I decided to send for Rex Mounfeild's DVD about his Little Orchard Railway. The DVD shows the building, opening and running of the railway in quite the most entertaining style. And if that isn't enough all the money made goes to charity. I have no intention of trying to describe it further because I haven't a hope of doing it justice. All I can say is 'FANTASTIC' !...... Although Rex claims to be an amateur film maker it certainly doesn't show. Very well done Rex !....

31st Dec 2007 Firstly, you will notice that all pages now have adverts top and bottom. There's no point in ignoring this as its part of a long term upgrade plan for the site which will see it move (eventually) to a new webspace provider and have some added features. These adverts will, hopefully, generate a small amount of dosh to help cover the costs involved. I hope the adverts do not spoil your enjoyment of this site and any feedback will be most welcome.

As the year closes it just remains for me to thank you all for using this site, and the encouraging comments many of you have provided, and to wish you all a healthy, prosperous and very happy new year.

Regards

Barry !

12th Nov 2007 At last i've managed another update. Apologies to those that have been asking for their site to be added but hopefully i've caught up now and sorted a few broken links. Do please let me know if you come across a site that would interest others.

Also taken the liberty of adding my local society to the club page because thats where I get so much inspiration from.

25th August 07 I've discovered a new magazine that comes from the the wrong side of the water. But the content is absolutely right for those that are interested in railways in Gardens. The Home Railway Journal is well worth a look. In fact I ended up not only taking out a subscription but buying all the back issues. Fantastic ! Have a look for yourself its well worth it.

31st July 2007 Yet another update. Hopefully this is becoming a habit. Nice new 'Rusty Bolt' forum and Adrian Sant's Apple Blossom Railway.... well worth a look. Enjoy !
25th July 2007 At last an update. Problems with my PC have meant i've lost many of the links people have sent me so if yours isn't on the site please email it to me. Many thanks for waiting and please keep coming back.
29th Jan 2007 Response to this site has been swift and positive, I thank you all, and I have corrected a few mistakes and added a few omissions that were pointed out. Rome, as they say wasn't built in a day. Keep the suggestions coming....., Regards, Barry
25th Jan 2007 Miniature Railway Magazine has produced yet another stunning example including several references to 5" gauge. Well done that man !Some while ago the idea was muted about producing a magazine specifically for our gauge based roughly on the type of content within www.5inchrail.co.uk . Does anyone think this worthwhile. If you have any thoughts please email the webmaster via the links at the top of this page.
  The GL5MLA website is worth checking out because it has some free to download diagrams of their standards which would be applicable or at least give a guide to many building from scratch. http://www.gl5.org/
  Ride On Railways Tel 01708 708768  is having a clearout of their own railway item, and a varied selection it seems to be too. The latest news page is worth a look.
