Retired UK rail engineer turns garden into 50-foot solar-powered railway

Adrian Backshall transformed his East Sussex garden into a working railway, inspired by his railway engineering career. The garden features a unique 50-foot railway with a solar-powered system and authentic railway memorabilia. Initially a lockdown project, it has evolved to include a Victorian-style carriage for entertaining guests. Backshall's project reflects a blend of history and engineering, following his retirement from Network Rail.
