I got sent this article: interesting, I must say... The plan is for 500 metres of narrow gauge (15 inch, more specifically) to be laid. The fundraiser does mention wanting passenger rides, insurance allowing - if it comes about, you'll know where to find me!

No relation to the Bandon!

Saw this on YouTube a good while ago - apparently he's been working on this for some years! Most ingenious.

Way Out West- Workshop Stuff on YouTube for anyone interested. Absolutely brilliant channel, Tim Rowe is a great engineer. Any time I see a new video I have to click. One of the best channels on YouTube and I couldn’t praise it enough.

Also, the railway is visible on OpenStreetMap for anyone interested in the precise layout. Just east of Ballylickey.

All great fun and very inventive, have to say I wish nothing but success for them.

It’s amazing: that little compressed air loco is fab!
