| Pictures of Eric Llyds line on the 7th feb '07 .Went to see Eric for lunch...took some pics of his garden line as the frost looked great...Erics line has been down for around 20 years and his use of rockery plants have grown into wonderful ground coverings...hand built track runs through some very photogenic landscapes.
The other pictures are of the Wrexham Model engineers line near 'The Flash' Wrexham... the line is raised and runs 3 1/2" and 5" gauge...more pics on this later |
