Lovely to see this bygone era of the RHDR, with its original semaphore signals before they were all removed in the 1960s. Coloured lights were operational at Hythe until 1977, when two returned (later three) and 4 gantry’s at new Romney in 1990. At Dymchurch this year they finally disconnected the ugly road traffic style lights there, be interesting to see if anything replaces them.
I have the DORLING KINDERSLEY DK EYEWITNESS GUIDES Book of TRAIN. Discover the story of railways - from the days of steam to the high - speed, sophisticated trains of today. In association with THE NATIONAL RAILWAY MUSEUM.
The music spoilt the show. If it had the sound of the engine running on the track, it would make one feel the sense and much more lively. Anyway thanks for the video.

Very nice to see.
Engineering at its finest!
The tall elderly man in light trousers and a brown hat is, I think, Captain Howey himself.
Guess what? I'm the 30th person to fave this video!

Video was great. Music too loud to hear the commentary. Thanks.

Where is it now?
Sutton Flyer is now located at the Cleethorpes coast light railway with most of the Sutton miniature railway rolling stock and locomotives.
