Certainly interesting that somebody would go to the trouble to make a train
just to ride a disused line. I know of a pedal powered 'train' built by a
Ballarat resident quite a while ago. Yes, for 1600mm gauge. He also had some
15 " gauge ones as well.

The photos of the "Stoney Creek" trestle are a bit misleading however. This
is a straight bridge yet some of the photos show a curved one, and with farm
land in the background. It would appear to be the trestle near Hospital
Creek.
