    [MEDIA] One my favourite videos, taken from Udiam farmhouse, next to the current end of the line. The relaid track went right through the bottom of the garden :-)

    As Ivy in Last of the Summer Wine used to say, firmly, ' This is a catering establishment ' !

    Happy days, Tom! I recall a PMV kitted out as a catering facility, with friendly ladies inside :)

    I've dug out a couple of pictures of the Bodiam relay. That was November 1998, it may be slightly different this time. [ATTACH] This is the '7' jig that was used, so you dropped down the 4, then reverse a bit, and then drop the other 3....

    Yes, a spacing jig was used, and iirc it wasn't a 4 but a 7. That was genius! The extra 3 fitted precisely between the 4, so the jig was lowered a second time. The rail lengths were laid out L and R, and a reversing 360 laid out the sleepers and...

    It's how we laid the Bodiam extension. The Northiam extension was laid with track panels, assembled at Wittersham.

    Look, there are lots of sections that are complicated for different reasons. I don't see how it helps to say 'this bit looks complicated' on the internet - I suspect that Mike and Co already know that! If you want to help, the practical routes...

    Please remember what @Tobbes said above: ''speculation of which bits of land Mike Buse and co are targeting doesn't strike me as very helpful.'' I wholeheartedly endorse that.

    Our offices have been receiving calls from folk desperately trying to find out what it is. Not quite sure why they think they would get the desired answer when it hasn't been broadcast elsewhere though! Maybe we should give our office staff a...
