Summary
Pathe synopsis: Although steam will eventually be replaced by other forms of locomotion, people will never stop building and running miniature railway systems of their own. Men like John Samuel, whose garden near the Thames, in Surrey, houses the finest scale[-model] private railway in the world, operated at weekends by a syndicate of enthusiasts.
