Rails in the Isle of Wight

The Colour film of the Isle of White in the 60s starts with steam and then early electrification on the island.

My grandmother when I was about 6 used to take me to Beverly park in New Malden to watch the Merchant navy and Battle of Britain class locomotives steam past.............. happy days

As an Island nipper growing up in the 40s 50s and early 60s these scenes are enduringly familiar. Thanks for the chance to relive the memories.
