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.
