-----------------------
It's launched! The first instalment of GUIDE RAIL! Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Not every video in the series will be THIS long, or just focus on a railway, but it should give a flavour of what's in store throughout the months.
We look at the history and the bright little engines of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, the world's only miniature gauge mainline. Found on the Kent coast, this line has developed from a billionaire's plaything to serving its country during wartime and on to being one of the most loved attractions in the county. I've visited 3 times and can confirm - this is one characteristic little/big railway.
With thanks to FrontLineSteam for allowing me to use their footage throughout. If you'd like to see the full, unedited clips, check out their channel. / @frontlinesteam

The gauge is 15 inches (1/4 of standard gauge), but the scale of the locomotives is 1/3 size which makes them enormous in terms of loading gauge

The Bug 0-4-0 always reminds me of a Dire Straits song that's also named 'The Bug'. I noticed she has outside Stephenson's valve gear, just like the NZR 'H' class Fell engine. As for the 4-8-2s, I find it so odd that no standard gauge UK railway ever used this wheel arrangement, and that Hercules and Samson are Britain's only 'Mountain' locomotives.

I believe it is very slightly under gauge. The locomotives are 1/3 scale so, at 15", the track gauge is a little smaller than it should be if it followed the same 1/3 scaling.
