Made in 1997 this video starts with a look at ZB operation on Norfolk's Bure Valley Railway the programme then moves counties to Suffolk for a ride behind a 7.25" gauge 'Highlander'. 7.25" locos don't come much bigger than the EAR Garratts and Brett Roger's is shown at work with other locos at Weston Park. Going up a gauge to 9.5" we visit a very busy line built to this rare gauge before being invited to the last day of Peter Howard's Stoneleigh House Railway. The 'temporary' line at Chester Park may still be there but the next section celebrates the opening by Lady Jenny Gretton celebrating the Eaton Hall centenary - many famous miniature railway faces are in evidence. Next its extension time at Wayside - complete with Pullman dining! Topically we then move on to a damp and overcast Comrie before ending the programme at Peter Howard's short lived Downsells line near Sittingbourne. Any comment always welcome, but please remember it was a long time ago now.
