Just following up - one of those buildings (the old shop on Church Road, derelict for a few years) is being redeveloped*, so Pendon is the only record of it now. Which was the whole point when Roye England started it.Pendon is nuts...some of the cottages took literally years to make and the thatch is individually-placed human hairs! There are a couple of buildings from Wanborough, where I lived for 12 years.
.On a somewhat larger scale..................
Whilst we were 'out & about' this afternoon (13 additions) we travelled back to York, via Ampleforth & Gilling East
Of course, I had to turn off onto PotterGate
Sadly it was track maintenance day, not a running day
I have seen it in operation before, as quite a few years ago I rode a CX in the woodlands of Ampleforth College not too faraway

Falkirk Wheel
Motorised too!!!
Apparantly, someone on the design team, gave the modeller access to the architects plans, & he transposed them to scale!!

I’ve never heard of the Falkirk Wheel, I have just googled it, what an extraordinary construction.
Seen both but been on neither, it's quite strange according to my wife how no matter where we go on holiday there always seems to be a piece of canal architecture to see quite near, I don't know what she means
I think there's one some where near Morley too unless the person telling me was getting con fused?.
There's a smaller track in Brighouse

There is (or was?) an 'abandoned' minature near Pudsey
lt could be seen on a 'Google Earth' & similar mapping
I am slowly watching next door installing his garden railway, seems at one time there was one at this house, and it ran through part of the house, can still see the steel lintel now bricked up where it went through house.
Yes had triang railway as a boy, sister had really small one, but never had the room, got son a wall mounted system with space craft like units, but never really had the time or room, so today I play with a 2'6" gauge 8 miles long, I enjoy it, but they are a tad heavy to make mistakes with, plus carry general public so some rather strict rules.
Not sure what it weights but Zillertal is rather heavy. Just looked it up seems only 7.5 ton a lot less than expected, but errors View attachment 591067 can be expensive, car written off, it scratched the engine, but it was not allowed to move until investigators arrived so had to bus all passengers, car drivers fault it seems.
Colvid permitting I still do.I spent many a happy summer volunteering on that railway
I'm glad this thread has appeared. Not that I'm a modeller, but I came across these little bicycles that look a lot of fun. HO/OO scale, they run on a magnetic track hidden underneath the road.
