    I'm told that a quarry Hunslet could go round the South Devon Railway Centre track, but I don't know if anyone has tried it.

    You could send an email to the Centre to find out what the sharpest radius is. Matthew, who runs it, is very friendly.

    I didn't think the South Devon Railway had a 2ft gauge line? Do you mean the Devon Railway Centre?

    It does a lot in a small amount of space - it has a balloon loop that folds in on itself. I went in December for the first time.
