    Oh dear, this seems to have changed status on my link. If you still want to acces this video type "British Railways 5/6 - British Narrow Gauge Miscellany" into YouTube & you'll still get straight there.

    Excellent! The FR and TR certainly look "rustic" compared to today. What a smart outfit the VofR was - BR wasn't all bad!
    I also notice how neat some stretches of the track were on the W & L. Impressive for a thrice-weekly goods, no wonder it closed down.
