A bear sized railway

Following the very nice comments from two of my readers, I thought you might like to see another train adventure. This one is a more bear-sized railway!

This is Newby Hall in North Yorkshire, famous for its Christopher Wren design and Robert Adam interiors, not to mention 25 acres of award winning gardens, including one of Europe's largest double herbaceous borders. Phew!

And hidden away in those marvellous gardens is a bear's delight - one of the best miniature railways I've ever seen!

I saw four engines altogether but this was the most spectacular. Here I am eagerly waiting to go.

The railway boasts a station...
... a turning circle...
... a tunnel (it was too dark in there to take a picture!) and a railway bridge across a large pond.

Here I am waving to some people on the river. Everyone waved back too!

Ah, to feel the wind blowing in my fur!!

Heaven!

There will be more from Newby Hall in another post but I just had to share the train with you first.
