[Bill4373]

Several years ago, there was an article about an estate railroad in England (I think it was England). They used a small gauge engine and several cars. I don't remember which magazine, don't think it was Steam in the Garden or Garden Railways but I could be wrong. Somone must have a better memory than I have (which isn't that difficult).

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know the magazine article you referenced, but I did find 2 booklets of a similar nature:



Industrial Steam Locomotives, by Geoffrey Hayes (ISBN 0-7478-0375-7); published by Shire Publications (http://www.shirebooks.co.uk)



Industrial Narrow Gauge Railways, by Ian Dean (ISBN 0-85263-752-7); published by Shire Publications



Shire Publications also lists a title Miniature Railways by Michael Crofts, which might deal with the estate railways you mentioned. Both of these booklets were published in 2003, so should still be available.



I also have a book titled 2-Foot Gauge Survivors that has a small section on the 15-inch gauge Isle Of Man railway.



I seem to recall an article or two on estate railways in England, but can't quite seem to find them at the moment.



I know this isn't quite what you were looking for, but hope that it gives you a little extra help.
