Saturday Film Club: Railway Researchers

Head back to 1967 with this somewhat patronising Pathe News film. There's a nice shot of the Maidsrone Model Engineering line running past a real railway though.

Good old-fashioned fun in a park with, no doubt, a stern park keeper as evidenced by its pristine condition and minimal security. As far as I know, the miniature railway is still there. Nice to see the green Crompton on a long train of vans, several of them destined for the Continent no doubt.
I didn't realise the term "Ferroequinologist" went back so far!

Great video, thanks for posting Phil.
I love the way the passengers are all wearing jackets and ties, today it'd be hoodies :-)
I didn't know the term Ferroequinologist - I'll be using it from now on !
