EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1972, we witness the remarkable achievement of a father and son duo from Bishop Auckland. Raymond and Ridley Dunn, residents of Beech Road in Cocketon Hill, have taken on an extraordinary project - building their very own half-mile long miniature railway. As they proudly pose for the camera, both father and son wear beaming smiles that reflect their immense satisfaction with their creation. The image captures them standing beside a shed filled with tools and equipment necessary for maintaining their labor of love. An oil can sits nearby, evidence of the meticulous care they invest in keeping their miniature trains running smoothly. The dedication displayed by these two men is evident not only in the construction of the rails and tracks but also in their commitment to continuous improvement. Although far from finished at this stage, it is clear that Raymond and Ridley possess an unwavering determination to bring their vision to life. This photograph transports us back to a time when public transportation held great significance within communities. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Raymond and Ridley contributed to preserving the charm and nostalgia associated with railways during the 20th century. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the ingenuity behind this do-it-yourself endeavor while acknowledging its impact on local history.
