The map shows the current extent of the railway. On the left hand side there is a converted stable block in use as the loco shed, with a siding alongside. Going through a 5 bar gate into the next field, it runs through the loading area alongside the current stables. There are further sidings into the stock sheds. Further along, a sharp 90 degree turn takes the line alonside a fence constructed to divide up the field into paddocks. Finally through a field gate it passes the loading area fur the manure, before running down to the bottom of the next field, turning through 90 degrees before terminating in a couple of sidings.

Looking away from the loco shed the rails are barely visible as they curve round the corner and out of the garden.

Through the gate a gradient was profiled to reach the stables and after reseeding, this has grassed over well.

Fencing will eventually be put around the stable block to contain the horses.

The track leading past the stock shelter is also on a slight gradient before it reaches a tight 90 degree bend by the fence.

Where the tracks pass infront of any field gates, crossing timbers have been put in between the rails mainly to prevent the ground getting chewed up and muddy in the winter.

The long straight track to the end of the field typically has a skip left, so wheelbarrows can be emptied from the 'poo picking' in the fields.

On the 19th March the two separate stretches of completed track were joined up, and after a first tentative test with just the battery loco along the line, and initial small train was loaded up to take to the end of line.

The tracks had not been bedded in properly by the stables yet, but a stop was made to collect hay to distribute to the horses in the paddocks. Immediately after this the train derailed on a poor rail joint. The loaded skip was jacked back on without too much of a problem.

The end of the railway at this stage, and where the sleepers and fencing were unloaded.

In a little of what sunshine we had this year, a couple of the Hudson flats were loaded up with a few sleepers as tracklaying progressed.

Just past the stock shelter a couple of rails were then taken from the rapidly diminishing stockpile to continue the journey.

It was good to see at this stage that the railway here had quickly blended into the surroundings with the undergrowth quickly restablishing itself around the trackwork.

One of the skips are left by the stables when the they need cleaning out. However, in the summer the horses ar normally left out all the time.

Then all the waste is transferred from the wheelbarrows to be taken to the end of the line by one of the locos.

The job would be easier if smaller 'v' skips were available but hopefully more will be obtained over time.

The Moës loco now in working order sees regular use as well as the battery loco.

With one partial load from the stable, a second wagon is also pushed out to the fields to receive further waste.

It does not need much vegetation on the rails for the loco to start slipping a little on the gradients. The sandboxes on the loco are not in use yet, so it's fortunate that the trains do not get any longer than this!

Stopping at the first field gate to load a couple of more wheebarrows of waste.

A long plank as a loading ramp would make lighter work of this when more lower profile skips are obtained.

This is the present end of the line about to tip the skips.

On another occasion this time with the battery loco, the manure has just been tipped into the trench.

After the skip had been sandblasted and repainted the inside was given a coat of the rubberised roofing paint which protects it from the corrosive nature of the manure.

After tidying up, the skip is attached to the short train and pulled back to the middle of the line to await the next load.
