Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (RH&DR) in front of the High Light Tower (4*PiP)
The PiP show impressions of the lighthouse's lenses. I have added one with a dog on the train ;-)
From Wikipedia (German and English):
Die Küste von Dungeness wurde im Laufe der Jahre von fünf Leuchttürmen geschützt, von denen der erste nur aus einer Bake bestand.
1615 wurde der erste Leuchtturm errichtet und 1635 durch einen neuen ersetzt, als die Küstenlinie sich verlagerte. Als mehr Kies aufgeschwemmt war, wurde 1792 ein weiterer Leuchtturm gebaut. 1901 folgte der vierte Leuchtturm; dieser wurde stillgelegt, als 1961 der fünfte erbaut und als The Old Lighthouse zu einer Touristenattraktion wurde.
There have been seven lighthouses at Dungeness, five high and two low, with the fifth high one still fully operational today. At first only a beacon was used to warn sailors, but this was replaced by a proper lighthouse in 1615. As the sea retreated, this had to be replaced in 1635 by a new lighthouse nearer to the water's edge known as Lamplough's Tower.
As more shingle was thrown up, a new and more up-to-date lighthouse was built near the sea in 1792 by Samuel Wyatt. This lighthouse was about 35 m (115 ft) high and of the same design as the third Eddystone Lighthouse. From the mid-19th century, it was painted black with a white band to make it more visible in daylight; similar colours have featured on the subsequent lighthouses here. This lighthouse was demolished in 1904, but the lighthouse keepers' accommodation, built in a circle around the base of the tower, still exists.
In 1901 building of the fourth lighthouse, the High Light Tower, started. It was first lit on 31 March 1904 and still stands today. It is no longer in use as a lighthouse but is open as a visitor attraction. It is a circular brick structure, 41 m (135 ft) high and 11 m (36 ft) in diameter at ground level. It has 169 steps, and gives visitors a good view of the shingle beach.
As the sea receded further, and after building the nuclear power station which obscured the light of the 1904 lighthouse, a fifth lighthouse, Dungeness Lighthouse was built.

Erhard Bernstein club has replied to LotharW clubUnd was für ne interessante Miniatur-Eisenbahn!
Das 1. PiP hätte auf jeden Fall einen eigenen Platz in Deiner Galerie verdient.
Erhard Bernstein club has replied to Ernst Doro clubJa, mit den PiP ist das so eine Sache, ich kann das ja später noch nach vorne holen.
Erhard Bernstein club has replied to Leon_Vienna clubPS.: ich habe nun noch ein PiP mit dem Hund hinzugefügt, da sieht man die Größenverhältnisse ;-)
Leon_Vienna club has replied to Erhard Bernstein clubErhard Bernstein club has replied to DanielleI did wonder which railways you would be visiting!! This one makes a good start, and a really nice composition with the lighthouse. I am guessing that you climbed all 169 steps to make those superb Pips of the lenses.
.Best Wishes
Peter
Erhard Bernstein club has replied to Peter_Private_Box clubUnfortunately, this was the only railway we visited during our trip (if you ignore the Heathrow Express and the tube).
Thank you, Peter, and have a nice evening!
