| With the new now that both railways at Dobwalls have now closed to make way for "better" torist attractions I thought I would put together this collection of pictures taken in the late 80s and 90s.
In Mid October 2008 most of the collection started running on a new railway at Plowmans Garden Centre in Dorset |
