I remember something in Railway Modeler about 40 years ago. It was a railway made for filming a crash, which used a mixture of live plants and normal model scenery on an indoor layout.

I've always fancied trying it myself, but am not sure if the plants would get enough sunlight inside to thrive. There might also be a problem with the amount of moisture a large number of plants would transpire.

At least you tried it though, though I can see, after the Aire Valley,  how a simple line would lack operating potential. Apart from that, if you had the space, do you think it would work? 

One of my all too many projects is a On16.5   loco motor block that is sealed  like an LGB one for use outdoors - maybe that would be ideal for just such a line?

I'm another great fan of the Aire Valley Railway, in fact I was one of the people who wrote to you when you where selling it. I was very tempted to buy it, but eventually decided not to.

I'm glad at least some parts of it have survived - it's been an inspiration for many of us over the years.
