Quaint Railways (1933)

“Not all the Railways in Britain have the many-ton engines such as we see generally. Here’s a contrast.“ C/U of a man standing beside a railway engine pressing on a pump device. C/U of part of the engine. “This little fellow runs near Littleworth, beyond Peterborough, and acts as a feeder to the big line“ M/S of man walking across a plank of wood which spans a small canal. He is carrying a sack on his shoulder, this is loaded onto the train. L/S of the train approaching the camera. A full size steam train pulls up alongside the miniature one. “A big contrast perhaps but they both have their work to do“ M/S of the two trains, a young boy walks between them with a large black and white dog - possibly a Great Dane. He poses with the dog, an engine driver stands on a step looking at the camera. “And here’s another railway - in this case a very miniature one. Most boys would lie awake all night, if they thought it was to be theirs in the morning.“ M/S of a large model railway - trains move around
