| hearsay:- |
Narrow Gauge Railways Ltd, ie Bassett-Lowke, bought the 7 mile narrow gauge line,
1915, it being closed since 1913. It was rebuilt as a miniature railway at 15 inch
gauge; the L'al Ratty. |
||
| The route was from Ravenglass, Muncaster, to Eskdale - Dalegarth, Cumbria; the miniature
railway ends short as it cannot manage the last climb to Boot. |
