Until this makes it to Flimsies..........http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4670335.stm"A woman has died after the miniature railway train she was driving collided with a car at a level crossing. The incident, near Dungeness in Kent, involved a train from the [15-inch-gauge] Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, which derailed after the crash on Sunday evening. "Second time in two years. When I saw it, at first I thought someone had reposted the 2003 accident.An ungated crossing, true......... but could this jeopardize the railway's future? |

Oh I hope not, I have many good memories of visiting there with my Grandad. But still... Wonder how many unprotected crossings there are?Upon further examination, the driver was their first female drive and the wife of the GM-http://www.eastkentmercury.co.uk/news/default.asp?article_id=21279Surely a sad time for the miniature railway.Joshua |
