-----------------------
It's launched! The first instalment of GUIDE RAIL! Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Not every video in the series will be THIS long, or just focus on a railway, but it should give a flavour of what's in store throughout the months.
We look at the history and the bright little engines of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, the world's only miniature gauge mainline. Found on the Kent coast, this line has developed from a billionaire's plaything to serving its country during wartime and on to being one of the most loved attractions in the county. I've visited 3 times and can confirm - this is one characteristic little/big railway.
With thanks to FrontLineSteam for allowing me to use their footage throughout. If you'd like to see the full, unedited clips, check out their channel. / @frontlinesteam
The gauge is 15 inches (1/4 of standard gauge), but the scale of the locomotives is 1/3 size which makes them enormous in terms of loading gauge
The Bug 0-4-0 always reminds me of a Dire Straits song that's also named 'The Bug'. I noticed she has outside Stephenson's valve gear, just like the NZR 'H' class Fell engine.
As for the 4-8-2s, I find it so odd that no standard gauge UK railway ever used this wheel arrangement, and that Hercules and Samson are Britain's only 'Mountain' locomotives.
I swear McAlpine has an innate sense of railways and engines in trouble
Great video on The RH&DR first went there and ween we had our caravan in Kent for many years it was always a summer holiday day out first went there in 1989 we always went as far as New Romney and the Model railway was always a treat to see happy days ❤️❤️❤️❤️ nice peace of history showing both maunsell and Gresley both attend the railways on special occasions
I find the fact that Gresley and Howey gifted each other whistles so wholesome.
It would be neat if the A1 trust did something in memoriam given they're working on a P2 and one of the exchanged whistles was of a P2.
I know The RHDRs history very well, as I'm a developer for the RHDR Game, and Can I say, You absolutely nailed it. I had no idea about the Black Devil name plate. Brilliant video, can't wait to see more.
What is the game called
@@randombread7535 its the "Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway" on Roblox.
thank you
@@alexthewoo oh that's a good game
@Troll guy productions that’s my job I’m the scripter of the RH&DR game aha I’m another one the devs
This video was absolutely amazing. I might have to visit this railway for myself! I'm excited to see more of this series in the future. It really is great. Keep up the great work!
What a great guide rail video! My favorite steam locomotives from that railway is hurricane and the bug! I love Gresley A4 chime whistles they sound beautiful! This is a nice miniature railway and steam engines! Great job! ❤❤❤❤
1:12 I've Been On The Romney Hythe And Dymchurch Steam Railway Near Dover In Kent In England This Year And It Was Super Awesome. Thanks Mate. X
This series so far looks very exciting! Very much looking forward to the next installments.
Great video, Max! Love the extra history lessons you provided! People o\usually only talk about the railway's time in the war!
Superb film. This took me back to 1975 when I worked at Maddiesons Holiday centre in New Romney.
This was a great start to Guide Rail!
I might consider visiting this lovely little railway
Already then, the purpose of the series is fulfilled. Thank you!

I never knew that they actually built one of them in my hometown. :O
Oh how small the word is…
I’ve been on this railway and I can confirm it does feel like you’re going super fast
A wonderful video and we'll researched history hoping to visit the line this year
Great Video, enjoyed watching it all.
What i love most in this world just saved my life tonight a train im am blessesd to be looking at this video
A fine first episode! Would love to see more!
Which engine(s) from this railway are your favorite?
This video is a very good one, I'd love to visit the RH&DR someday. :)
This is one of my favourite heritage railways, each locomotive has so much character and its own unique story
Hey tbf the mini A1/3 is probably more reliable than the full size A1/3.
Cough cough looking at you Flying Scotsman 😂
A great first episode!
Black princes name actually more closely translates to busy bee with fleißig meaning busy and leischen being the German word for lily which is often used to describe a hard working female or machine which is also important to some people
Thank you for clarifying that. That's equally a cute name for it.
@@Terrier55Stepney one could also translate it as "busy lizzy"
A fine name for an engine
model railway gone to far is a hilarious thought
Excellent video of the incredible history of the RH&DR. It is one of my personal favourite little railways and it the only 15 inch gauge railway that I like to visit the most.
I don't remember the year, but two locomotives form California's much smaller Redwood Valley Railway in Berkley California, I know they had a hard time keeping up with the Express traffic, (The American 4-4-0 only has wheels around 1ft in diameter).
This was brilliant, looking forward to another episode of Guide Rail! It was absolutely brilliant to see a railway from my childhood put into the spotlight and you really did it justice!
A great first episode, the format is pretty good I will look forward to what line comes next
This was awesome! Sorry I couldn’t make it to the premiere!
PS. 4-8-2 types here in the USA are known as just ‘Mountain’ types
Or Mohawk
@@derekheeps1244 depending
The RHDR is a pretty cool railway.
Absolutely brilliant video! Makes my Chanel look even more amateur than I actually am! Transport Interests! Cheers!
This is a great video on one of my favourite railways ever, nice going into the history of it, and I do find its wartime role quite interesting
Excellent video as always!
Little Engines can do Big things!
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the private 1/3 scale LMS Princess Coronation Class, that is somewhere located on this railway.
Dammm. Im going to London in 10 days but i dont have time to travel down to see this railway.
I am a little confused at the beginning you said there were five diesels but you only so two when you were showing all of the other trains
POV: You are the dead German pilot's ghost getting embarrassed for being shot down by a miniature train
I remember seeing that crash 8:40 in a news paper back when I was little.
keep up the good content
3:43/7:13 Aww, it's Scotty and his little sister.
I'd love to see a more detailed look at the history of Engine Nº.4, talk about a lucky escape...
It's your lucky day, here's one I made earlier. ruclips.net/video/QnkujRYCZm4/видео.html
That looks nice.
It’s Gordon’s sibling
Yes 👍
Great video Max! Just as a side note Krupp is pronounced how it looks (correct me if I’m wrong I’m not German).
Krupp also built guns and designed the turret for the Tiger and King tiger Tanks.-Das Mann
Nice shout out to the movie chitty chitty bang bang.
They may be downsized but they can pull a ton of coaches.
Nice
I want to see a episode of guide rail but with the ravenglass & eskdale railway
The Bug has an interesting livery.
Toffee and chocolate... Reminds me of Rolo dessert pots.
It's known as 'Stroudley's Improved Engine Green'.
On the 3rd of April, I'm heading to the Spa Valley Railway to see the Caledonian 812
Wow you know I watch A lot of history video Data includes the RH&DR but then Was amazing
Interesting.
You should do the Ravenglas and eskdale railway since you did this other 15inch railway
I would love if you do the tanfield heritage railway.
I love RHDR it’s amazing (there’s evens a ROBLOX game of it made by people who live close to it)
Oh this is going g to be a good one !Full steam ahead ,open the regulator!
Shovel that coal, blow the whistle
@@dinosandtrains909 quite
Will do one on the ravenglass and eskdale railway
What are the differences between Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway & the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway? I think, the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway engines are perfect for the new Railway Series characters.
Holy shit Scott the w- wait a minute, this isn’t Scott the woz. Dang blue border.
No. 8 Hurricane kinda looks like a sized down version of Gordon TBH
What is the railcam rambler?
I really wish I were as privileged as you.
I want to visit the railways such as the Talyllyn, Ffestiniog, Welsh Highland and others.
However I unfortunately live in the US and I am a Teen :(.
Wow.! This is great ! Superb information on the engines....
Cheers from Detroit 🇺🇲
They changed tenders on many engines because they were short on tender.
My fav loco is Bug
I suppose you could say, Howie did it...
Sodor Legend of the lost treasure: never overlook a little engine
Bruh I'm late for the premiere
15:25
don't you DARE talk to me or my son EVER again!
15:38 Duncan be like
Does the nuclear center ever use the railway to transport stuff?
Not the miniature railway, no. They still use the standard gauge railway nearby.
Taking a look at Philippine steam engines when?
I want a ralway with a small engine in my backyard
What Gauge is that railway?
15 inch gauge.
This runs past the bottom of garden
"Never Overlook A Little Engine"
So a nuclear power station is right next to the railway? I swear if something goes wrong we’re going to have sodor fallout IRL
Is the RH&DR narrow gauge or miniature?
Miniature gauge, 15inch.
@@Terrier55Stepney thanks, because a railway in my county, the BVR (bure valley railway) looked similar to the gauge to the RHDR but the BVR is narrow gauge
@@Terrier55Stepney 15 inch is narrow
I believe it is very slightly under gauge. The locomotives are 1/3 scale so, at 15", the track gauge is a little smaller than it should be if it followed the same 1/3 scaling.
Sorry but the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is the same gauge. So the RH&DR is not the only miniature mainline.
R&ER is single track. It's miniature, yes, but not a scaled-down mainline.
although i didnt name my channel after the engine hercules,hercules was a badass
Tell the history of the New Braunfels railroad
Would you like to voice in my TUGS Films?
*The Bug*
Basil the bug
You made this when I was at school. I missed the livestreams. Make videos when kids aren’t at school.
There will always be someone, somewhere in the world who is at school or work or asleep when I upload, I'm afraid I can't cater for everyone. Don't worry though, the video isn't going anywhere.
@@Terrier55Stepney ok
hiii
I have to say, our North American whistles sound so much better than British ones
Fun fact: Krupp made turrets and tanks for nazi germany during ww2
16:58
It’s number 14 not 12
20:08
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Please don't insult the RHDR by calling it a "miniature railway". It is a "light railway".
who is Stepney???? don't you dare ????
Please remove my photo from this monetised video. You do not have permission to use it nor have your sort permission from myself to gain profit from its use.
Typhoon and Flying Scotsman with sir William McAlpine and family.
Apologies for mis-crediting you with a different source. It should be removed now, have a nice day. :)
@@Terrier55Stepney where did you source this unwanted-marked version? It should not be in the public domain. It is clearly of low resolution to avoid such possible theft and use.
So is the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway not a miniature main line too? @Terrier55Stepney
The Ravenglass is built up of single track sections, so trains can't pass each other unless in a loop. The RHDR has almost all double track like a mainline would.
@@Terrier55Stepney oh ok well thanks
you should cover the swindon and criklade railway en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swindon_and_Cricklade_Railway
