This has got to be modelled!

Want to talk about Sir Arthur Heywood's 15" gauge railways? About modern day minimum gauge lines? Have you found a minimum gauge line you've not seen mentioned on the website? Want directions to one of the railways that is mentioned? Whatever your interest in real minimum gauge lines, post your questions (and answer other modellers' questions) here.

Looks great.

But,

- spoilsport alert - :twisted:

If you're modelling it in Gn15 I can leave it here,

However....

... If not I need to move it.

End spoilsport alert. :D

Cheers,

I like the look of the buildings suggested that Bertrand go take a look.

Looks like dual gauge to me.

Given the diameter of the tunnel it would appear to have originally been standard gauge. The tunnel portal is very modelable.

I disappear off the face of the earth for a few years and look what I find on my return. Epic find.

This is/was a sit-astride miniature railway, possibly 3.5 and 5" gauges. Hence the apparent overlarge size of the tunnel.
