The Talyllyn, but then im totally bias. The Isle of Man Steam, Manx Electric and Southwold come a close second.

IoMR No.10 GHWood, TR No.2 Dolgoch, and Lady Madcap a dinorwic hunslet
Whats your favourite narrow gauge size?

What do think narrow gauge railways should have been built for?
For whatever purpose, they were mainly built because an SG line would have been more costly, or more difficult to force through the terrain, (ie the ffes and the tr).
