Passenger Carrying Garden Railways

Derek Smith

Made in 1989 this was my first homegrown venture as 'Festival Video'. It starts with an interview with Maxitrak's Andy Probyn giving an overview of the company and its then products the success and continued expansion of the company now ranks it as probably the major player in the supply of miniature railway equipment. This is followed by a visit to Kent Laverty's 5" gauge line at Lyminge, situated very near the trackbed of the long lost Elham Valley Railway, which shows just how much you can get in a small space. David Best's long closed 'Greenfields' 7¼" gauge line was home to the mighty Dolphur, seen her in steam. The 'Wayside Light Railway' is very much operated on narrow gauge priciples and is seen during a busy, and rare, public open day. Another now closed line is Peter Howards 'Stoneleigh House Railway' where his collection of 10¼" gauge locos are seen in steam. Finally a visit to the ultimate garden railway, the 2ft gauge 'Bredgar & Wormshill'. Anyone who knows the railway now will be delighted to see how much it has changed in the last 25 years.
