I don't know why he's described as "very sad husband" here

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and...-in-his-garden

I'd expect him to be quite happy.

I do wonder how much he paid for those rails though, and where he got them from ;-)

"ex BR" indeed

However unlikely that he did get his rail from them, BR did indeed have narrow gauge railways. For example, the Vale of Rheidol narrow gauge steam railway. No idea what gauge the garden one is!
