The crossing barrier ruined my shot
And the weed. This is the charming little Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch narrow gauge railway. It chugs across Romney Marsh. And very picturesque it is, too.
They’ve had a couple of collisions with cars, in 2003 and 2005. In both cases, sadly, the driver died.
We’re standing at a fish shop buying plaice fillets. A long way to go to buy fish, but it’s a nice drive and we got to see the train.
Have a good weekend, everyone!

That was Samson, rebuilt following one of the accidents not so long ago. The RHDR is one of those testaments to what good things rich men can do when they’re bored.
