Minic Railway

Minic (Garden) Railway...

	The Minic Garden Railway was located within the amusement park at the front of the camp. Here's brown teddy and I at the front of the Minic train. I think it was early in the day and there was no queue, so the operator sent the train round with just me in it! [ I never gave my toys names, after all they weren't _real_ people!]

Here we go around the track. Why is this seat wet? Ah, the roof's been leaking! Look, you can see the puddles on the concrete.
Just behind me is the kiosk (with window) where the operator worked the controls for the power.

Of the Minic Garden Railway:
This was modelled on the 'Golden Arrow' locomotive and between 1963-1965, Tri-ang produced a 10¼" miniature garden railway .
The "Tri-ang Minic Narrowgauge Railway" (TMNR), as it was also known, was manufactured at the Minic factory in Canterbury, Kent.
