A compilation featuring all thirteen public highway level crossings on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway Kent's Mainline in Miniature. All videos were filmed during the weekend of the railway's 95th Anniversary Gala, and as such, there was a lot more running than usual, including plenty of special action! As well as every public highway level crossing on the line, the video features numerous doubleheaders, a top & tail movement, a tenderfirst running, parallel runs and plenty more during the railway's most successful Gala in over 20 years! Enjoy!
