Thank you very much for your comments on my Hornby Dublo Castle ~~~~I have converted to O gauge since I made that video,so its in its box now. I do not intend to sell it, to many memories.
Happy memories. I particularly miss the Ryde Pier tram (as well as the line to W. Comes.)
Exceptional memory-evoking footage.
I am now 89 and living in America. I was born in Cowes and went to school in Newport. I travelled on ALL of the Island railways, as a youth.

Very enjoyable and nostalgic.
