A classic Movietone cinema short from 1977. The Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is a one-third scale mainline in miniature operating regular services across the Romney Marsh in Kent. The dream of two millionaire racing drivers, the line opened in July 1927. In 1947 the railway celebrated its 21st. anniversary and post war re-opening, Laurel & Hardy made this a memorable event.
