First time I have seen this film. Using the theme from Chocolat is a nice touch.The idea previous raised about resiting the Sittingbourne and Kelmsley railway here is an excellent idea and it was a prophetic of willlittle given what has been happening over the last four weeks to that railway(Sept 2008). There is room for the railway and the cycle way today. The relocation of the engines and rolling stock would hammer down the cost of the railway's reinstatement. Or is this just wishful thinking?

Priceless archive material. I've been into railways all my life and haven't seen this before. Transporter wagon too! Thanks for posting it.

Thanks.

The small booklet on the L & Manifold is well worth a look at;if you want more information.
