    Aaow man. Imagine if something as neat as this was an illustrated part of Wilbert Awrdy's stories of _The Railway Series._ If only he could've lived just a lil' longer to actually make interesting real-life events around garden railways and how they're an astounding experience in relation to the life of building, running, and maintainenace about railways. Mhm, the retrospects I see with my very own two eyes of watching how railways around the globe are still a fascination to me and what they embark on when it comes to motive transportation. Gee, railroading is just so cool 😎
