In pursuance of a different train of thought, there came to my mind the narrow-gauge Dalmunzie Hotel Railway -- near Spittal of Glenshee, Scotland -- of which I was aware that it existed, or had done so; but very little more. Resorting to Google furnished a small amount of information, but less than hoped. I register that the line was essentially created (inaugurated in the 1920s) to convey shooting parties between "base" -- the hotel -- and the moors; and that some decades later, it ceased to carry out that function. There is however some material which would suggest that at least part of the line stayed active until decidedly recent years -- quite smartly equipped and turned-out -- just "for the fun of the ride"; but it would appear if I understand rightly, that the whole thing is now no more.
I would be most grateful to anyone who might be able and willing to supplement my above-set-out very meagre total knowledge, about this railway. (Attempted use of this site's search facility, entering the word "Dalmunzie", yielded nothing.)
