Thank you for the information on the Levi figure, Stefan. Are they still available do you know? (Which reminds me, I think I was going to send you a British Bobby figure from Hamley's - did I ever do so? I have one on my shelf and it must be there for a reason, for you or a friend in Australia.)
The way the track curves around reminds me of the Selketal railway we rode on earlier this year, the only straight track seemed to be in the stations or when the track was running alongside the road. Otherwise, it was curves this and that all the time.
