Description:
A train buff has spent more than 30 years building a stunning working miniature railway track - in his own back garden.<br/><br/>Derek Burwell, 84, created the 272 yard line around the edge of his 40ft (12m) wide garden at his home in Pelsall, Walsall, West Mids.<br/><br/>The train-mad OAP travels around the track in eight mini engines he built from hand himself and has spent thousands of pounds on his hobby since 1993. <br/><br/>Derek constructs everything from a workshop at the end of his garden where he can spend hours on end each day building and restoring old engines. <br/><br/>His garden also features a host of railway memorabilia - including a 100-year-old signal he reclaimed from a level crossing which now sits in the middle of his lawn.<br/><br/>The track is made from timber and aluminium while he has a mixture of electric and battery-powered engines as well as petrol-driven hydraulic ones.<br/><br/>Grandfather-of-two Derek said he decided to build his own garden track as it had always been a life-long dream of his since falling in love with trains as a child.<br/> <br/>He said: \

_finke-2024-ford-ranger-raptor-day-1-shakedown.webp "Ford Performance has secured its second victory in a row at the gruelling Finke Desert Race with the Ford Ranger Raptor securing the Production 4WD class win with a final time of five hours, fifty-eight minutes, and twenty-three seconds (5:58:23).<br/><br/>Driven by Brad Lovell, and navigated by Byam Lovell, the #773 Ranger Raptor was the only vehicle in its class to finish both legs of the 2024 event which pushed man and machine to the limit in out Outback test of performance and endurance.<br/><br/>The back-to-back victory comes after a multi-day back-and-forth battle for the Production 4WD crown. During the run from Alice Springs to Aputula (Finke) the Ranger Raptor set a scorching early pace, overtaking its key rival 55 kilometres into the race after starting three minutes behind the first starter in class.<br/><br/>However, the 2024 Finke Desert Race wasn’t without its challenges, with the Ranger Raptor facing mechanical issues while pushing hard out on the course. Brad and Byam drove the final 130km of the track on day one with broken left-rear suspension, yet still managed to finish the first leg of the event five minutes faster than 2023 with a time of three hours and 35 seconds (3:00:35), and only losing four minutes to the class leader. This was the first failure of its kind that the Ford Australia Ranger Raptor engineers have experienced – a testament to the extreme conditions thrown up by this year’s Finke race and to the capability of the Ranger Raptor.")
