Dear Oops,

Oops! Nice photos.

Would you object to me using a copy of your photo on my website, www.railwaysarchive.co.uk, to illustrate the accident? I will credit you if you wish.

Woke up to or woken up by? Must have ben a bit of a bang.

 

[neil_s_wood]

Wow, that must have been a bit of a surprise. Just as well they didn't come through your fence. Might be time to relocate your swings?

 

[andrew]

I think you are going to have to switch to a smaller scale for that garden railway of yours... Much more of this and the neighbours will get seriously irritated.

I have heard of things going bump in the night.....but an entire train!!!!!......

those plastic wagons are just TOO light?

how DO they untangle the tension lock couplers?

Some of them look rather too close-coupled!

(Although I understand that Roco couplers can have that effect on some Bachmann wagons due to the NEM socket being mounted too far back on the wagon...)

Regarding any bangs, with four tracks at the bottom of the garden I imagine the residents have learned to ignore all the noise?

A case for liquid lead perhaps?

aren't they really metre gauge?

I guess the flanges hit the rail fixings on Notwork Rail's new code 75 track then?
