Playing around with Gmaps Friday night, I'd tripped over this:

...and it didn't take long to give them a call on Saturday to check out the Sunday-schedule
Oh maaaan!!!
A life-dream to own your own life-sized train-set, live on-site, build-it-from-scratch, soak up the local history, economy, people, mining, wildlife, nature and a 100 other things while following your life's passion of steam-power, the early days of electricity and endless other things.
These guys are A NATIONAL TREASURE!!
Get your bum across there before they retire/ get-too-old/ the bureaucrat-idiots shutting them down/ whatever...they're just unbelievable!
Ever seen a steam-loco built from scratch?
Get there...and watch it happen right before your eyes.
Engineering taken right from the original ....the Swiss Pilatus and Rothorn steam-railways.
They even got a Harley there....toot, hoot!
Actually...Harley's everywhere!!
...and amongst all the hootiong and tooting, there are some proper railway tickets, printed cardboard and all!!! ....and yes, you'll certainly get your ticket punched, hooray!
