The Children's Railway in Poole Park

This minature railway has existed for 40 years that I know of & still operates.
This is a video of it now, with then & now fotos at either end.

It is a DVD of various miniature railways & the Poole bit is only about a minute long.

[sherlock8415]

ain't changed since iv bin on that.lol.that was prob 10 years ago

[TimBrown59]

I found a DVD that shows the railway in 1963 in colour & says the steam engine was called "Vanguard" & was green.

Apart from the steam engine & the fashions, the railway & the park has remained fairly unchanged for 40 years.

I remember the steam engine,that name rings a bell.

[TimBrown59]

I am now fairly certain that the engine was sadly scrapped, along with others of the Southern Minature Railway.

But if anyone knows different.....

[GavinS1965]

Yes we used to go there alot in the late 60's and 70's,the steam engine is a very early memory for me,it was followed by a blue "diesel"I think with a ford anglia or cortina engine and yellow chevrons on both ends..
