Snow on Furnace

A snowy run on the 7.25" gauge Furnace Railway. Shot by owner Geoffrey Robinson on standard 8mm silent film in the late 1970s. The railway no long exists but was situated on the West Sussex / Surrey border.
Visiting Engines

A look at some of the engines that have visited the RH&DR plus some shots of RH&DR locos on 'foreign' rails - including Liverpool Garden Festival. Sorry the quality is not up to much but the master went missing years ago and this is a copy of a copy.
Hastings Miniature Railway
มุมมอง 1.9K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Hastings in the days when it was a very simple line. I always thought 'Sweet Pea' looked quite at home and was not unattractive for a steam outline loco. The original coaches were also favourites of mine - shame a rake does not still exist for high days and holiday - but I guess everything moves on. Can't remember the year.

RH&DR 50 coach test train for end of gala special
มุมมอง 1.6K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Before we tried to break the record for the number of coaches on a train, which was 47 set in the 1950s, we ran a 50 coach test train behind numbers 12 and 14. My memory is not wonderful on dates but I think it was 1993. This shot was taken as the train approached Britannia Points on the return from Dungeness to New Romney. Locos 12 (Steve Rodgers) and 14 (Richard Batten).

A short film that's been gathering dust. I've edited it to show the route so apologies if the car pairings swop around a bit. This was taken while the storm drain was being built so it includes the remains of the old Marina/Black Rock Station plus the temporary block built building that served as the station while the new one was being built.

    I remember riding on the 63 coach end of gala special. It was a VERY rapid departure from New Romney when a coupling failed and the front 8 coaches shot off like a bullet under Littlestone Road bridge before the drivers managed to stop! They backed up and reconnected to take the rest of the train with them on the 2nd attempt. A brilliant run then via Dungeness and back to Hythe. Many good memories in that video.

    I particularly favour the 10+1/4" gauge as being ideal as a comfortably sized passenger rider without being over bulky nor too compilcated, each to their own preference I guess! Such a variety of miniature gauges being available to choose from is certainly impressive. A well put together video, top marks.😊
