Nice video.

I'm I right I thinking that at that time, in order to watch news programs like this, you had to got to the cinema?
Garden Railways-best hobby in the world.

Correct, the three locos were built by Harry Barlow of Southport, all of them being his standard 4-6-0 diesel electric chassis, using a ford engine driving through a world war 2 searchlight generator. Neptune's chassis still exits as Prince Charles, which is one of the Barlow locos that was running at Southport, but is now hidden away at Windmill Farm as Southport's operator did what he does best and has broken it
A great find Jools, a very interesting peice of film of a novel and short lived system (I should say with my mods hat on that I am keeping this topic here as the Festival of Britain was very much a "Garden Festival" type event, so it was a large railway in a large Garden)
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

What a fab 5 inch model one could make, two boilers, a simplex chassis in the middle! Make proper use of a raised track that would!
