    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

    Great video on The RH&DR first went there and ween we had our caravan in Kent for many years it was always a summer holiday day out first went there in 1989 we always went as far as New Romney and the Model railway was always a treat to see happy days ❤️❤️❤️❤️ nice peace of history showing both maunsell and Gresley both attend the railways on special occasions

    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.
