The Cabbage Patch Railway

This is the fourth incarnation of the Cabbage Patch Railway Website and as I have moved on from my battered 1996 vintage Mac 8500 -I thought that I had better have something more “upmarket” to show for it... I have been doing some “speed trials” on the site and certain files are going to have to be re-jigged and some files might not look “normal” while I find out what is the “slow” part of the code.

The next section contains very large images and what I like to term "interesting information", (well I think that it is anyway)... It is not in any particular order -so it is pretty much a "grab bag" of images and information. Feel free to rummage around and 'acquire' the data and images from there -I have done the same to others!
