Wow, what a fantastic video, I haven't seen this before and was very lucky to come across it here. Exactly how I remember the line at this time, New Romney station still very much a "split level" site in the first section of the film (up to 1974) and then it's later overall roof showing just after 13:01 onwards. I have a lot of fond memories of this railway and miss not being able to get there as I now live in the Highlands of Scotland.
New Romney has since been remodelled and had semaphores replacing the colour lights shown. Nice to see inside the box and its lever frame with foot releasable locks. A nice slow shot of the box diagram enables you to get a good clear look at the track layout then and compare it with now. A very enjoyable film (music very much of its time and not that pleasing for me, I would rather hear the natural sounds of the locos and the wheels along the rails- music is not required although no doubt used to enable easier editing of the soundtrack) that should hopefully inspire people to find out more about this fascinating line and its history. Maybe a visit in the future will be allowed- once you have been there and ridden on the trains 6 inches from the ballast at 30mph or as another Steam hauled service passes in the opposite direction and speed, you will be hooked.
This film starts out with also the coloured lights in Hythe, which were in operation from the sixties through till 1977, which was the year I believe they were re-replaced by the semaphores, only this time they were mounted on just one gantry-where the lights were!
Magnifique réseau que celui du raylwai en engleterre stan et ollie etaient très heureux que Elisabeth leurs est donné la clef du reseau en 1947 il existe un petit document ou ont voit ollie qui a des problèmes avec la grande clé mais stan appercoi que la porte est ouverte a la grande gène de ollie .

Pour être bien dans son corp et ça tête regardé les films de laurel et hardy les rois de la commedies .
It's a great place to sit on the beach, stare into the distance, smoke a joint and contemplate the meaning of existence and / or how fast you can run on shingle if the power-station alarm sounds. Spoiler: The answers are "42" and "probably not fast enough" respectively. The old lighthouse is fun too.
Absolument magnifique ces machines a vapeurs de légendes du beaux pays d Angleterre stan et ollie ont eux de la reine Elisabeth ll la clef de la ligne du raylwai pour le plus grand plaisirs de ces immenses acteures qu'étaient stan et ollie ont les vois quelques secondes et ont ris aux éclats .
