I spent many a happy late summer week in Halesworth/Southwold during the late 70s/early 80s and was always fascinated by the Southwold Railway story. There used to be an engine on display in a children's play area in Halesworth park; my then very young daughter used to play on it! It's very interesting to know that there are people trying to re-open parts of the line and, as far as I am aware, they have had a steam engine built and delivered to Blythburgh. Great video, thanks.

What a wonderful video . Immersed myself in in totally . Superbly filmed and narrated with music that added perfectly to the experience. Cracking !

I visited Stephen's garden railway a couple of times when he lived in the West of England - a long time ago now. He was always very supportive and encouraging when I was starting out in garden railways. Stephen was already a fan of the Southwold Railway even back then and it's good to see that he has managed to build such a good representation of it in his new home. Noel Adams

Beautiful railway and a lovely film.

I really enjoyed watching this. A fantastic garden railway with bags of character. Thanks for posting it

Lovely video and so good to see the unique MOY wagons built for this railway. By way of an update as its now 2022. The real railway appears to be undergoing a revival. The site of Blythburgh station opposite the White Hart has been cleared you can now see the original shed referred to in the video. The station footings have been exposed and some track laid. I believe the society has begun clearing the track bed from there back to Wenhaston. Lets hope they have the same success that the Lynton and Barnstaple has had.

Lovely little railway! Looks stunning!

Beautiful. thanks for sharing.

and this week Steve got to play with the real thing! Huzzah!

The carriages were 6 wheeled with a unique arrangement for negotiating bends. Your model appears to have two 4 wheeled bogies. I expect this is for practical purposes. A dear friend who died some 10 years ago remembered as a boy in the boy's brigade coming to Halesworth by train and transfrring to the Southwold Railway to finish the journey. This was in 1927.

Excellent, nice to see a new garden railway.

Great railway and great video!

Enjoyed ur nice scenery videos w lovely Elvira Madigan and the fiddle musik over ur narration. Thx from LosAngeles.

Dear Giles and team - keep doing these please!

21st Century Suffolk.

In modelling terms, I thought the gauge of the track was supposed to be 45mm (instead of 32) thus representing a 3ft gauge system in 16mm scale.

Smashin!

Absolutely fantastic! Didn't they have six wheel coaches too, like the Manx Northern ones?

21st Century Lifetime.

Neat old footage. They should have had a cushon on the seats.

nice . lots of characther .:)

Lovely! Will you be joining us at Audley End for the 50th?

AHD. Love the video, however, Southwold is quite definitely in Suffolk, not in Norfolk.

Umm, Norfolk? Don't you mean Suffolk?
