I came across the model railway by chance in a back garden in Stalbridge. The owner had built all the track, locos and rolling stock himself in absolutely beautiful detail. He had also built a large number of other models in a wide variety of scales. These included fully working trains and fairground rides mostly in wood but all with superb engineering skill and an absolutely immaculate detailed finish. I was privileged to be shown some of his work.
