Phil, I have one question. Almost 20 years ago, I was in the US Army, and picked up a temporary duty assignment in the U.K. at a small reserve base in a town called Hythe. Now, this was just across the river from Southampton. At the time I was there, (only a couple months), I was not aware of the R.H&D. I wonder if there are more than one towns by that name? I had read of the R.H.&D in the 1970's in Trains magazine, but never put 2 and 2 together during my brief stay there. I did see a branchline in the town, but it was standard guage. (besides, I was spending most of my free time in "Drummonds Pub"! ) I did take the ferry across to Southampton a few times, A beautiful city is is. I really liked the occasional monument of an old bombed-out church kept as a tribute to those lost in WW-2. As a "Titanic" fan, I found particularly fascinating, a monument erected within the confines of just such a destroyed church, dedicated to the crew and passengers of the Titanic. You folks over there were WAY ahead of us in realizing the importance in preserving some of the past, so as we might better see the future. But, off the soapbox for now. Please let me know if I was on top of the R.H.&D, and didn't know it, or if it was miles away. W. Todd Cline Wayland, MI USA.
