    The East Somerset and the Dean Forest too, I think - the latter possibly the only one that has been broad, narrow and standard gauges

    Do I recall a proposal many years ago to relay the Cholsey and Wallingford as broad gauge, as it was when first built?

    C&PR seems to have been narrow gauge from the off, as has the G&WR of course. Any more? There's a lot of preserved GWR isn't there

    Built to standard gauge, as was Bodmin, despite being in the heart of Broad gauge land at the time.
