rogerfarnworth Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 My wife and I are on holiday on Orkney (April 2019). Naively we thought that this would be a holiday away from railways ..... No chance! http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/04/29/the-railways-of-orkney 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 In my early days of modelling, I considered a narrow gauge, possibly 3ft, from Kirkwall to South Ronaldsay along the Churchill barrier, primarily for naval use. Lack of suitable chassis and flexible 12mm track meant the project was but a passing dream. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerfarnworth Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 So much for a holiday away from everything (including railways). ... Here is the second attempt to get railways out of the system for the holidays here on Orkney! http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/05/03/the-railways-of-orkney-part-2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerfarnworth Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 This is, I think, likely to be my last post about the railways in Orkney. It has been prompted by finding a secondhand copy of Wilfred Simms book. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/05/18/the-railways-of-orkney-part-3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
