The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway is a 1 ft 3 in (381 mm) gauge light railway in Kent, England. The 13+1⁄2 miles (22 km) line runs from the Cinque Port of Hythe via Dymchurch, St. Mary's Bay, New Romney and Romney Sands to Dungeness, close to Dungeness nuclear power station and Dungeness lighthouse. From 1926 to 1978, the RH&DR held the title of the "Smallest public railway in the world" (in terms of track gauge). The title was lost to the 12 1⁄4 in (311 mm) gauge Réseau Guerlédan in France in 1978[2] and regained from 1979, when the Réseau Guerlédan closed, until 1982, when the 10 1⁄4 in (260 mm) gauge Wells and Walsingham Light Railway opened. The railway was featured in an episode of the BBC series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. More images after the break...
edited by Bruce Lansky is another free Kindle book for a short time. And this one I actually own in paperback. I have a first edition from when Bruce Lansky came to Nashville years ago to promote the series before SurLaLune was even dreamed of. It's a great middle reader book for young girls with some tales adapted from fairy tales. The collection helped me find "The Innkeeper's Wise Daughter," back when I had forgotten about it. It is one of my favorite fairy tales and the one I might eventually make the 50th annotated tale on SurLaLune.
