  Explores the narrow gauge and miniature railways that are found hidden away in some of the most beautiful parts of the country. The author describes ten feature lines with the aid of photography. Whilst lines such as the Ffestiniog Railway are now run purely as tourist attractions, there are still working lines like the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railways which ferry customers along the South Coast of Kent. Whatever the purpose, all the lines are peopled by fascinating characters, the majority of whom are volunteers.

John Timpson describes ten feature lines with the aid of photography.
