	MINIATURE RAILWAYS
		MINIATURE railways are so often regarded as something of a novelty that it is not always realized that as much care and precision are required in their operation and control as in a full-sized line.
		The Eskdale Railway introduced the "Lentz" poppet valve gear to this country in an engine named the "River Esk." In the Lentz and similar poppet-valve motions steam is admitted to the cylinders, and released on exhaust, by means of lifting valves, instead of the slide-valves or piston-valves of ordinary locomotive practice.
		One of the smallest of seaside miniature railways is the 7-1/4 in.

		The Council reported to the Inquiry that the miniature railway at the Castle had recently been extended into ancient woodland in the Castle grounds and that a number of new railway buildings and structures, including a ticket office, engine store and footbridge, had been built, all without the necessary planning consents.
		The owner of the Castle Peter Hobcraft had initially advertised the opening of the railway in the summer of 2001 as part of a "3-in-1" scheme linked to a trip on the Spa Valley Railway at Groombridge and a ride on a vintage double decker bus between Groombridge and the Castle.
		In the summer of 2002 the miniature railway was advertised as open to the public through the National Gardens Scheme before the Castle was removed from the scheme in August 2002.
