Though
my
main interest in railways has been with standard gauge lines,
there is much to interest the enthusiast on the smaller gauge
lines.
Ride
at what seems like express train speed, on a double track
mainline, behind the houses of Hythe and Dymchurch to Romney Marsh
pulled
by
scaled down versions of Gresleys LNER pacifics - step back in time
on a Welsh slate railway with original motive power, and travel
through
scenery
unparalleled in the world - or ride a traditional seaside
miniature railway.
