Miniature Railways of Great Britain The Isle Abbotts Railway August 2016

Please note this is a private railway.
Rosie and I were so lucky to be invited for a ride on this lovely 7 1/4 railway while in the area on holiday.What a fantastic job Martin has done with the line.
We loved the idea of giving the village hall it's own station,just amzing.
Many thanks to Martin and Barbara for sharing your railway with us and making us very welcome.

    LOL! Yes it's a bit like that..When we got there he got the 47 out and said off you go. I said."I don't know the track,he said you will end up back here sometime" lol! This my most popular Railway video..As you can see he has a branch line that goes to the village hall.On open days people board here and return to this station..Saves parking problems.Just amazing track..Living my dream..Lovely couple as well...Some of the Taunton members drive the loco's on open days.

    Wow, this is just incredible, it's a proper transport system! The Blue Pullman, that just looks stunning, very impressive detail. The other locomotives (steam and others) are also great to see. So much track to run on and so many routes and features, it's just fantastic, and someone's love of railways - it looks bigger than most of the other 7 1/4" railways I've seen on your channel. Now where's that lottery win when I need it!
