My dad was a steam train enthusiast and when we went out somewhere in the car for a picnic, more often than not the site was mid-country, but just happened to be near a railway line ;-)

We have 1/3 size ones in Kent on Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.

Dad would have liked to see them, but had sadly died before we came to live here <3
