Well worth a visit and those locos look quite splendid,but someone
who is a fan of narrow gauge might expect a line more akin
to the Welsh ones. Not really sure of the best way to describe it,
miniature railway sounds like something around a park,
The RHDR with its 13 mile run a good proportion being double track
with its main line feel is somewhat greater than that.
