Garden Railway Forum The Garden Railway Forum is a welcoming online international community of people who model railways in the garden, all scale and gauge combinations are welcome.
Not easy to keep the railway's identity a secret but I've got a few difficult photos to start with.
Name That Railway In Two!
The Station Cafe/Tea Room which is popular with passing tourist coaches. The roof/ceiling is flat as this former MK1 coach was converted for use as a Departmental Vehicle, prior to arriving on the railway. So what Department uses/used flat roof vehicles?
Not the Spa Valley. Northern end of that one finishes in a platform next to the supermarket & a pub. Sorry.
Clues are all for the same railway.
Name This Railway In Three!
The railway offers a unique dining experience. This Southern Railway 5-BEL DMBTO (what's that then - a Driving Motor Brake Third-class Open) is on loan from the owning railway. Sadly it has suffered from water ingress so has not been used for dining for about a year, but the owning railway are planning to take it back for restoration soon.

Its not the Kieth and Dufftown is it? Although the map says it should curve to the right _________________ The Killer Bunny's on the loco - Don't Panic!
So Photo 1 is the northern end of Keith Town Station.
Keith Town station looking north.
Keith Town station looking south.
Photo 2 is Cafeteria Car BR Mk1, No.975758. Owned by members of The AC Locomotive Group, it was previously part of an Overhead Line Maintenance Train based at Romford, Essex. Hence the flat roof.
Here is another photo of the Brighton Belle DMBTO.
This has deteriorated quite badly in the Scottish winters. But North Norfolk wants to get the Brighton Belle back together again.
The southern end of the railway.
The sole Class 140 was originally used as station facilities until the station building was restored for public use.
Dufftown Station.
Went back the next day and it was tipping it down Scottish fashion. Crossing Fiddich Viaduct inbound to Dufftown (to the left of photo). Railway is surrounded by distilleries, and has regular tastings on board. This weekend was no exception!

Sorry Graham but I've not visited your fine country for railways, or anything else yet. And most of my overseas photos are fairly recognisable right away.
Hopefully some one else can start another similar railway quiz.
