Vintage footage

I just came across this video/film of a 1935 trip on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. There are a few station scenes which I found useful as I'm currently trying to build a small waiting room.

A great find! I don't remember seeing this before. Some really great shots including a double headed train.

A wonderfully nostalgic journey through magnificent scenery and outstanding and impressive civil engineering.
No wonder it failed, they spent too much money doing the job correctly and in some style.

It's a great piece of filming. I've always felt that Lynton was missing some element - a 'je ne sais quoi' if you will. I think the railway is it - it justifies the cliff railway and the lovely architecture in an otherwise isolated town.
