that train at 1:25 sitting in the side of the tunnel hasnt been moved since this video was recorded!! i think its gone now but it was there for ages. the track ran out along side the path without a railing then-its all fenced in now. that place hasnt changed in 30 years!! everythings still the same-even the train!!!!
Wow! Went on this in the late '50's-early 60's when it was hauled by a steam loco and only ran from the St John Ambulance hut down to the front and back. No loop then!
Interesting to see that the layout has changed slightly since this video was recorded - position of the station for one.
My ex-wife and I think that it is earlier than 1989 though - she's on the train!

@MrAmidwinter fairly certain it is 1989 ... but I may be wrong :)
