[modeleng] Re: Closure of Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway

A great little line, I had a day there 2 years ago, was made very welcome. A 
bit scary when you see they have no continiuous brake and on the engine we 
had, no steam brake!!!!! ... The Fireman was a strong chap and wound the 
handbrake on quickly. This is what railway preservation is about from 
scratch, would ask anyone who can to support this railway to do so either 
with a visit or a financial donation. The SVR suffered last year, the SKLR 
this year.
