About the author
bart. Sir Arthur Percival Heywood
1849–1916
Best remembered for proving that very small railways could do serious work, this English engineer and baronet built the famous Duffield Bank Railway at his Derbyshire home and helped shape the idea of practical minimum-gauge transport. His experiments with compact locomotives and track design influenced later narrow-gauge railway enthusiasts and builders.
