Hello there. I just thought a few of you might be interested in a double-deck rail tram I scratch-built for my garden railway a while back. The whole thing is built from acrylic sheet, wood, MDF, brass - just about anything really. It runs on 32mm track - 16mm Narrow-Gauge for those interested. It's around 20" long and 14" high. Power is driven front bogie, battery, forward/reverse and variable speed by hidden roof controls. All of the décor/lining/lettering etc was home made. Hope you like it. In case you can't see the railway name, it says 'Smorlen nott wontydd' My ex-other half didn't want me to build the railway. I kept the railway and got rid of her. Roy. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Very nice work indeed Roy!!  
I know nothing about model railways but considering that yours is completely scratch built and to a high standard, that is one fine and dandy model Roy - well done sir!! 
P.S. - Loved the bit about keeping the railway and ditching the wife. Nice to know your priorities are in the correct order!! HaHa!!
