Wossat?

Maybe this gives a clue

or this one?

It's the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway...built in 1924..and I last travelled on it when I was knee high to a grasshopper.

We were having a troll around various sawmills and timber merchants in Sussex and Kent and I couldn't resist the urge to revisit.

There is also a small model train exhibition at New Romney. When I saw it again, I thought that my childhood memories were playing tricks as I definitely remembered it as being much larger and in the centre of the room. But this time, it was a smaller layout around part of the room perimeter. A small notice revealed that it had been rebuilt in 1978 which was a bit of a shame as the old layout was fabulous. Well, it was to a six year old

This 'six year old' still came away with a smile on his face though!

ah, my other hobby... (I'm a signalman on the SVR, unemployed at the moment as the north end of the line is still closed after being washed away - trains only running Kidderminster to Bewdley at the moment, which I'm not qualified for).

Have been on the rhdr a few times & my small son thinks it's fantastic (so does his dad :wink: )

I had a bonus during the drive back as the Kent and Sussex Railway was ;steaming' and the road was closed to let the train through.
