I have just searched the forum for posts relating to Metre Gauge Lines in Portugal and encountered a thread entitled "The Douro Meter Gauge Lines in Portugal." That thread has been closed, there might be others on the same theme which I have missed. Fascinating to read about the lines around the Duoro.

I have been thinking about the metre-gauge system in Portugal after seeing a DVD in French about the Mallet loco owned by the GECP in Provence which is now running on the Nice to Digne metre-gauge railway having been fully refurbished in 2010. That loco has a Portuguese heritage and I'd like to know more about that heritage and about the lines in the North of Portugal around the Duoro Valley.

The network was quite extensive. It looks as though the idea for a holiday is beginning to come together! A rental car, good cheap self-catering accommodation, and a chance to follow some of these lines ........
