    I've never seen a miniature gauge Garratt before, but I've had a ride behind a Narrow Gauge one on the Welsh Highland Railway. Garratt steamies aren't exactly my cup of tea, but they are useful. They have a charm that's hard to ignore.

    Just think, a few more years and DCC will probably be so advanced that you could convert these trains to run completely automatically. In just a few moments you could set up an entire day's running session, press the go button and sit back and watch the trains come and go.
