Description:
A train buff has spent more than 30 years building a stunning working miniature railway track - in his own back garden.<br/><br/>Derek Burwell, 84, created the 272 yard line around the edge of his 40ft (12m) wide garden at his home in Pelsall, Walsall, West Mids.<br/><br/>The train-mad OAP travels around the track in eight mini engines he built from hand himself and has spent thousands of pounds on his hobby since 1993. <br/><br/>Derek constructs everything from a workshop at the end of his garden where he can spend hours on end each day building and restoring old engines. <br/><br/>His garden also features a host of railway memorabilia - including a 100-year-old signal he reclaimed from a level crossing which now sits in the middle of his lawn.<br/><br/>The track is made from timber and aluminium while he has a mixture of electric and battery-powered engines as well as petrol-driven hydraulic ones.<br/><br/>Grandfather-of-two Derek said he decided to build his own garden track as it had always been a life-long dream of his since falling in love with trains as a child.<br/> <br/>He said: \

This is the perfect adventure and opportunity to shoot some of the most breathtaking sunrises around. nnI’ve been to Kangaroo Valley a few times now, originally to shoot the wombats and kangaroo’s commonly seen hoping around. At first light I would look-up to see a cloudy mist covering the valley. Once the sun had risen high enough, the fog would dissipate and we were set for another beautiful day in Kangaroo Valley.nnI had heard about Manning Lookout in the Mo")

The only thing we ever get is during the holidays and you might have the occasional club at the school but nowhere for teenagers to socialise.<br/><br/>“The kids love playing together. If they're not outside playing in the pool or kicking a football, they're trashing my kitchen, baking cakes and rolls. <br/><br/>\")
