We have a fascinating collection of articles for you this time, from a 12-inch gauge ‘garden’ line in Australia to one of the most fascinating and complex 71/4" networks in the UK, via one of the finest collections of 101/4" locomotives. Luckily, there is not much to report from our own line, although we were hoping to show you some entertaining snow plough photos... next time perhaps. Instead, a new, and hopefully regular, Spring feature entitled ‘Where to Go’ - a section showcasing the finest miniature railways.And on page 11 we’ve compiled a list of open days and special running days this summer.The list excludes ‘Days Out with Thomas’ and suchlike, concentrating on special running events. It’s far from complete, but it includes a number of interesting events, some on lines that only open to the public two or three times a year. So there’s no excuse. Get out and enjoy yourselves!
