hearsay Narrow Gauge Railways Ltd, ie Bassett-Lowke, bought the 7 mile narrow gauge line, 1915, it being closed since 1913. It was rebuilt as a miniature railway at 15 inch gauge; the L'al Ratty.
The route was from Ravenglass, Muncaster, to Eskdale - Dalegarth, Cumbria; the miniature railway ends short as it cannot manage the last climb to Boot.
