Great Scimitar Railway In Garden

James has sent in this photo and information on his 00 / 4mm Great Scimitar Railway for publication:

The Great Scimitar Railway is a garden railway that runs around the perimeter of my garden. It runs for just under one scale mile.

The line starts off level and slowly gets steeper as you go along the main straight, it then curves right to enter a passing loop and climb the steep gradient. The line then curves left to go over the viaduct above a waterfall and then goes through a tunnel where it turns back to single track. The line then sweeps left, right and then right again to follow the fence line up to the top station, to the carriage sheds and turntable.
