That was the point I was making. There are a whole range of 'touristy' tracks 
ranging from small gauge once round the garden to some quite complete services 
that run for a number of miles, up to the 'narrow_gauge' tourist services. 
Most of them are running passenger services.

The one's I was ignoring were the small scale tracks such as at the Model 
Villages ;)
