My grandmother travelled on this railway in the 1930's and I took my Mum on her last ride in the late 1990's. I visited again in around 2005. Long may it continue to give future generations lots of pleasure. Great video @

2:38My word, she's storming along there. Remember that on this scale, 25 mph is like 100

[@RichardS-qh8mi]

Surely the most perfect and beautiful narrow gauge engines and railway in the world.😁

Somebody build a freelance American 4-12-2 in this scale or slightly larger, took up the whole workshop thereabout,they test ran the chassis without the boiler around the railway and they were going at a good clip of about 35mph

Nice video :)

[@raymondleggs5508]

This is where you go when G scale still ain't big enough.

All of the steam locomotives are just super beautiful. I just wish the armored train from WW2 had been preserved.

[@alexthewoo]

it is preserved. its Number 5 Hercules. minus the armour plating.

[@russellgreen3375]

​@alexthewoo Hercules isn't the armoured train, it's the loco that pulled the armoured train. They mean shame the train isn't preserved

[@alexthewoo]

@@russellgreen3375 yes but it was armour plated aswell. Therefore it was part of the armoured train... its a shame the wagons got scrapped but atleast the loco is still around

[@AeZothesh]

can anyone tell me the top speed and average speed and distance the train covers

[@odintheallfather4863]

25 mph top speed and this railway is 13 1/2 miles long
