Thanks for that Gents.

So translated into measurements I understand approx five and a half inches by three inches.  Convert that into feet at 1 inch to the foot scale and it's 5 foot 6 by 3 feet.  Heywood tops wagons were 6 foot by 3 foot so not that far out.  

Hmm! food for thought  Very Happy

A garden railway, based on the 15 inch gauge lines at Duffield Bank and Eaton Hall, with maybe a bit of Fairborne Railway thrown in.  Early days yet but I will keep everybody posted.  Wink

Sounds interesting indeed! I wish I had the space for a garden railway.

Chris my back garden/courtyard is domitaed by big plants - most of mine would need to be raised with lift out viaducts. Sad
