Post by: GBM on April 27, 2019, 19:29:05 I'd like to say Dobwalls railway as I really enjoyed our children's visits there; however that, I guess, would have been removed years ago.

Post by: SandTEngineer on April 27, 2019, 20:52:25 Just for you guys and gals then. Dobwalls before it closed and when I used to look after, guess what, the signalling ;D
For those who don't know of it (its been closed at least 10 years now) it was an extensive American based 7 1/4" Theme Park railway near Liskeard in Cornwall. It had a very complex track layout and sophisticated signalling system (welI I would say that wouldn't l? ;)).
