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

Born and grew up in hythe, the sounds and smells of the light railway, as we knew it, was a backdrop to our world 😊😢sad to have ever left there. 1939 till 1957

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

[@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

[@raymondleggs5508]

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

[@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

[@richardhebden5603]

I read the other day that the RHDR armoured train was credited with shooting down 3 German aircraft during WW2. It was armed with 3 Lewis guns and Boys anti-aircraft rifles (whatever they were). I know that German pilots who had been shot down liked to claim it was always by Spitfires rather than the more humble Hurricane. Can you imagine the "shame", turning up at the POW camp and the guards knowing you had been shot down by the RHDR???

[@Sugarmountaincondo]

@@richardhebden5603 You better check that source again, the only death I am aware of that happened during WW2 was a grade crossing accident that resulted in the motorist's death. No combat against aircraft.
