We were living there from 93-98 & I definitely saw at least one train using the track from the station along the side of the harbour & down to the ferry terminal although I can’t recall if it was that day.

Fond childhood memories from ~55 years ago of puttering through Weymouth on just such a train as that for a spot of paddling with me Nan, and then watching it putter back up the road - even as a kid it seemed kinda surreal, and it’s been a repeating-if-occasional motif in my dreams ever since.

The breakfasts are good, can’t speak to the lunch. I would recomend booking seats in the front “engine” cabin. There are only a dozen or so as the galley is between them and the driver. Service in that cabin is great and coffee, tea and snacks are really available as the steward only has a few meters to walk.

BBC News - Calls to redevelop historic railway carriage
A famous bit of Railway and Road infrastructure:
I fucking love these videos. It’s the music that grabs me first.
Then the perfect balance of technical information delivered in a clear and concise manner as well as showing the backbreaking work carried out on something most take for granted…

Australian version of HST:
Excellent.
Although TBH I don’t really have a problem with changing in Paris or Brussels.

Smelling fresh, unlike the rest of the time when they had a distinct aroma of street urinal.

An IC125 set in…
Mexico!
I’ve just spent two hours looking at N-gauge models - mostly of really unprepossessing diesel locos in garish modern liveries - and am actively trying to not want them. This is how dementia starts, isn’t it?
I’m damned sure I’m too lazy to ever actually build a set for such things to actually run, and they’re ludicrously expensive, fragile, too small to see properly, and according to reviews not wildly reliable.
I want some.
Scathing ridicule and long lists of reasons not-to very welcome.

Or with the size of your garden you could go the other end of the scale.

Japanman thinks differently, by the way.
I do this with trams. Never going to happen.
