Quite an interesting history of this 22-inch gauge operation across the pond. Two steam locomotives remain preserved. It had a spiral tunnel to connect different levels of the brewery, much like some model railroads have. The story was written in 1968. What's left there today?

Came across this while looking for something else in the model railroad line, notable for what appears to be a fairly recent photo showing some of the track apparently still in place, along with another photo not in the other links above.

That got me to looking for other things, including this RyPN thread, and the things below:

This pair look to be based on traction engines:

I know there is at least one reader here who will thoroughly enjoy this combination of trains and beverage (and will wish he had something like this in Baltimore). . .
