I'd like to say Dobwalls railway as I really enjoyed our children's visits there; however that, I guess, would have been removed years ago.
So wrong guess but living on memory (call it old age)  Grin

Just for you guys and gals then.  Dobwalls before it closed and when I used to look after, guess what, the signalling Grin

For those who don't know of it (its been closed at least 10 years now) it was an extensive American based 7 1/4" Theme Park railway near Liskeard in Cornwall.  It had a very complex track layout and sophisticated signalling system (welI I would say that wouldn't l? Wink).

Surely they are the Stagecoach tenders recently shunted into a siding ... one on its own, one coupled to Alstom, and one to Virgin/SNCF (Societe Nationale des Chemins de fer Francais - French National Railways).
