When I was a kid there was a gentlemen lived overlooking Wimbledon tennis courts (the posh place) had 2 1/4" gauge live steam garden layout which ran several different circles through rockeries and borders. Mid garden two lines crossed at 90 degrees but not as part of an 8. The crossing was in a tunnel. Access was under a manhole cover with a big shrub tub on it. Good track laying / size /weight meant that little work needed to be done to keep everything working well. the tub plants burdgeoned. Trains could run one side or other several times without going the other route. <br />One session every train that came out of the one route being run had the last truck of the last car off the rails. No-one could understand it. Eventually someone climbed among the plants and looked in after a train. When the last car past a cat's paw shot out of the other tunnel and biffed it off the track. <br />In those days it was safe for the gent to have cut holes in his fence so that passers by could stop and watch the trains... he did this after he spotted some looking through knot holes.
