In the image, we see a man and a young girl beaming with excitement as they ride on a miniature train engine. The Laing spirit is evident in their faces, radiating enthusiasm and camaraderie. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the essence of day trips during that era - simple pleasures that brought people together. As they pass through a tunnel, one can only imagine the thrill and anticipation felt by both passengers. The regal cafe in the background serves as a reminder of seaside amusements that were popular at the time.
