No ballast, suspended rails with mixed gauge...?  No idea where but not on a standard gauge line, I'll wager.

Time travelling BNM? D805 was scrapped in 1972. D821 and D832 being the only survivors. Assumingly a replica?

Just realised its a miniature railway!

Oh - I have it now  Grin  ... won't give the game away as we have someone around who should get it  Wink

Yes, I do have local information - and it's been used to tease me before: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=2440.0  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

But your link in reply #21 doesn't really give any hints to the location. Unless you're saying, "here's four pictures of where it isn't."

Taunton model engineers being the operator, I saw them operating a similar set up with a different loco at Wellington school sometime ago, so could it be at Wellington school?

I thought it was the Ashton Court miniature railway - as I posted at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=2440.msg18366#msg18366 on a previous occasion.

I'm sorry if I was wrong on that one.  Roll Eyes

Not Wellington School no, but closest guess so far.
