Why not show the Scenic Railway in working order at the start of this BBC clip. The film opens with The Whirlwind Racer. The Whirlwind was indeed from Margate but one would have thought the programme editors could have made an effort.

Of course the Scenic is listed at II* not II, which makes it very special.
