Edit | Quote A short film of the miniature railway that was located in Golden Acre Park in 1935. Anyone remember this ?.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb0CHs-1gcwThe British Pathe news films have now been loaded into Youtube. This is a fascinating resource which will require much study because the film contents are not always apparent from the title.

Good one moving that post Chameleon. There is so little documented about the miniature railway at Golden Acre Park.It's good to keep what little there is together That's a great film clip and good quality too Billio. Thanks for adding it.Here's an aerial image of the railway layout to go with the clip. The tunnel can be seen on the photo too.Photo best viewed full size here.https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 2354_o.jpg
