A £250,000 appeal has been launched to save the Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway.
The 2ft gauge line near Sittingbourne, Kent, was started in 1975 by Bill and David Best. Initially the brothers realised their interests in steam engines and engineering by acquiring and restoring items to their former glory. They were joined by friends, and track was laid around the (then) farmhouse and fields that Bill lived in with his family.
