UK Heritage Railways - Narrow Gauge.

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.
