A widow says she is continuing the legacy of her late husband by preserving a full-sized train line he built - in her back garden.
Elizabeth Shutt said her husband of 16 years, Colin, created the quarter mile line - named the ‘East Wressle and Brind Railway’ - in the 22-acre grounds of their home.
He went on to acquire a diesel locomotive and two pieces of rolling stock before building a 1920s-style railway station - with the help of a band of volunteers.
Elizabeth said the design engineer, who ‘always had a project on the go’, lovingly worked on the railway before his death in February 2016 at the age of 70.
But following his passing, Elizabeth allowed his original team of helpers to continue restoring the line's beautiful period engine and goods wagons.
