Description:
A train buff has spent more than 30 years building a stunning working miniature railway track - in his own back garden.<br/><br/>Derek Burwell, 84, created the 272 yard line around the edge of his 40ft (12m) wide garden at his home in Pelsall, Walsall, West Mids.<br/><br/>The train-mad OAP travels around the track in eight mini engines he built from hand himself and has spent thousands of pounds on his hobby since 1993. <br/><br/>Derek constructs everything from a workshop at the end of his garden where he can spend hours on end each day building and restoring old engines. <br/><br/>His garden also features a host of railway memorabilia - including a 100-year-old signal he reclaimed from a level crossing which now sits in the middle of his lawn.<br/><br/>The track is made from timber and aluminium while he has a mixture of electric and battery-powered engines as well as petrol-driven hydraulic ones.<br/><br/>Grandfather-of-two Derek said he decided to build his own garden track as it had always been a life-long dream of his since falling in love with trains as a child.<br/> <br/>He said: \
