Military Machines International 08/2013

The narrow-gauge Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway, situated on the Skegness Water Leisure Park at Ingoldmells near Skegness, is home to a collection of historically important World War 1 trench railway vehicles running on tracks 60 cm wide. Having opened to the public at Skegness in 2009, it now plans to offer its first 'photo and video charter' on Friday 13th September 2013. The line, which has a length of just under a half a mile, runs in the shape of a figure 7 from a storage shed to Lakeview passenger station, and from there to a run round loop, situated in a typically remote Lincolnshire fen countryside location, among flat but pleasant scenery of grassland and arable farmland, with young tree plantations along the way. Normal operation of passenger carrying trains on summer Saturdays involves running the locomotive round its train at the passenger station and the end of the line.
