Forgot to mention. Surely the 1/3 size *commercial*(!!!) railway 
running between Romney Marsh and Dungeness has to beat that!

James probably missed it -- too busy revving his ridiculous esoteric 
"sports" car down the parallel road in this god-forsaken stretch of 
pebble coastland, which will soon be inundated again as climate 
change raises sea levels. I hope they save the railway!  :)
