Miniature Railway at The International Garden Festival

Post by Matt » Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:53 pm

I've found this old video of the short lived miniature railway at the international garden festival. It shows locos from both the Ratty and Romney hauling very long trains around the line.

Enjoy!

Very interesting though notice how hard everything is working, that line had very steep gradients
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

Yeah, Black Prince has a very loud chuff.

LaalRatty, you'll like this. It's a series of films of the Ratty in it's first days of preservation. There's no sound, but it's still good.
