Lord Mountbatten drives miniature train, Newby Hall
1971 - Former First Sea Lord becomes a train driver Wearing a peaked cap and goggles, Earl Mountbatten of Burma realized a childhood ambition to be an engine driver. The former First Sea Lord found himself back at the helm yesterday when he opened a new miniature railway in the grounds of Newby Hall, one of Yorkshire's stately homes. The Earl sat in the driver's seat of the engine, a scaled down replica of the Royal Scot, as he took a trip on the miniature railway pulling a carriage of exalted children. Photo Shows: Full steam ahead for Earl Mountbatten with young passengers aboard. He drives the engine on the new miniature railway he opened yesterday at Newby Hall in Yorkshire. Keystone
