Alan Pettitt´s Railway Project

Many of you will know Alan as a regular at our club running day, he moved to Suffolk in 2007 and since his moved to his new home he has been building a new railway. He is fortunate to have a large building in his garden which he has turned into a railway room; he refers to it as the "Station House". He has sent a selection of photographs showing his progress so far.
