Thats the first bit right, but what parts were incorparated?

I'm afraid not, but in the right sort of area with the wheels...

Cranks?

Correct Spooner, one part down, one part to go!
If you look closely at Shelagh of Eskdale's cranks you can see the join between Ella's crank and the extension piece

Assuming you mean geographical rather than chronological they are currently
Hythe
Dymchurch
St Mary's Bay
Romney Warren
New Romney
Romney Sands
Dungeness
although there have been some changes over the years and name changes as well such as Jefferson Lane Madisons Camp etc.

That will do for me. Well done your turn to post a question.
I never did understand why the railway is named so geographically incorrect.

OK, Just to complete one that one was unfinished from before (we had two questions running simultaneously) .....
a) a range of hills
b) a glass of stout
c) 2 N/G locos.
Whereabouts and what guage?

Oo..er! Didn't know about that one. Strangely enough your answer, though warm was not the one.

Warm Guinness YUK
Any chance of an extra clue?

The guage is more common than that of your Dublin Guiness railway-( 1'10'' ,what an odd choice of guage!)
However it does have something in common with the Dublin line and it had a rail interchange with a rather more famous line.

2'6" gauge

Well done that man!
The locos were apparantly a pair of olive green 0-4-0t's named
Oakhill and
Mendip.
The brewery made Invalid stout (?)
