Hi CME, Stock not seriously damaged. I keep telling people stock for garden railways needs to be very robust! This is a case in point.
Last time I ran it,all was going fine so I disappeared into the workshop. Suddenly, no trains. Two coaches had come uncoupled from one train which ( as the line is a tail chaser) was smacked up the back by the engine and coaches.
They derailed into the path of an oncoming train. It was like Harrow and Wealdstone in miniature.
In actual fact disaster like that are mercifully fairly rare though tend to be spectacular when they do happen....
When I was running it with the kids one night we had a suicidal frog who stayed in the four foot and just jumped clear of an approaching class 33 diese. The kids thought it was great!. Vandals.
