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: \

It was the perfect autumn short break and something I always enjoyed was the peace and quiet and scenery as well as a variety of animals such as Horses, Sheep and Cattle not to mention a sheep dog called Ben who was particuarly fond of Animal Biscuits! <br/><br/>The cottage had a open fire and coal shed which my family loved to work every night especially as it was so cold! No doubt we will return perhaps with our own family in the future. I used to enjoy making a few videos while staying here, really just experimenting and have fond memories of this place as a child.<br/><br/>I was massively into diecast cars and remember having my Matchbox Motorcity playset spread across the living room floor, enjoying movie nights, roast dinners and floating my Action Man speed boat down the river next to the cottages. Me and my sister used to venture out into the hills and enjoyed seeing the animals, it was an exciting but terrifying experience climbing the hills not knowing whether a cow was going to greet you when you reached the top!<br/><br/>We were lucky on one occasion to pass through the Farm where a large herd of sheep were being herded, Dad got his car stuck in mud after taking a wrong turn and I even got to hold my first lamb!
