The garden is pretty much square, about an acre, with the house in the middle and a stable block down one side, with pig-sty/engine shed at one end. I hope that the first phase of building will get a 300 foot run along the Southern boundary, terminating in a run round loop. In the future, there are several options for making a continuous run, subject to negotiation with the domestic authorities. I would like to develop it as a narrow gauge line, run with large (though necessarily short wheelbase) engines along the lines of a recently-acquired Tinkerbell.

19th century pigsty - soon to be the new engine shed	The door is just big enough for a Tinkerbell (if you keep your head down!)	Looking South from the engine shed door - the rhubarb patch will need a little remodelling
The line will sweep around along the back wall/fence. The knot weed and compost are all being dug out with the digger	Looking East along the back fence. The old shed is due for demolition, its replacement will move out a little...	... to provide more space - this gap is just under two feet, I need nearer four for safety
At the far East end there is a small rockery. A bit of remodelling will make more clearance round the back either as a cutting or (ideally) a tunnel...	...which will come out here.	Looking North from the cutting exit, this will be the end of the first stage of the line - enough room for a runaround loop
