Why?

Well, I wanted to create a home page, and I thought most people's pages were boring. The Chuffington & Oval Light Railway was partly inspired by Manga's Bedsit and partly by a suggestion from a friend at Aberystwyth who suggested the theme of a railway journey. So there you have it.

You might have been wondering why, when your mouse moves over the "Maze" signal, the "Map" signal moves too, but not vice versa. Well, this is because the "Maze" signal is a distant signal and you can't have the distant off unless the home signal for the same line ("Map") is off too. Even on a virtual railway you can't go breaking signalling regulations.
