The terminus station at Mewsbrook Park. This scene is much changed today

This is the site of the present-day terminus at Norfolk Road. The original old terminus (1948 to 1983) was slightly further down the track, just beyond the curve in the distance. However between 1984 and 1996 the line was extended to bring the station closer to the main road. This involved crossing this busy footpath seen in the foreground. The station was immediately behind the photographer

Cab view of 'Southern Belle'

'Southern Belle' outisde the shed at Mewsbrook Park. The wooden sheds in the background date back to the early days of the railway - they've since been replaced by a large new building

'Zion' at Mewsbrook Park. This loco originally operated on the Hotham Park line in Bognor Regis. It came to Littlehampton in 1985 (after being regauged) and was powered by a Vauxhall 1200cc petrol engine. It left the railway in 1997. This photo shows the train crew trying to get it running - as I recall they were having major problems with it!

'Southern Belle' outside the shed. This loco was built the previous year (1988) and was powered by a Ford 1100cc petrol engine with hydraulic drive. During my visit it was out of use due to mechanical problems. It's still on the railway today but has been much rebuilt - it's now blue and carries the name 'Lady Barbara'. The rebuild included fitting a Ford 2300cc diesel and altered bodywork
