Luna Park, North Point [1949-1954]

A letter to the editor in the SCMP in the early 1980s complained that there were no miniature railways in Hong Kong available for taking children for rides that are common in the USA, Europe and Australia.

It seems that Luna Park had one in the 1950s. The locomotive looks like a USA manufactured 'CAGNEY' type specifically designed for use at fairgrounds

Luna Park, North Point [1949-1954]

Not much recognisable today. HK Electric's power station is extreme right belching out smoke from its chimney. Taikoo dockyard can be seen in the distance. A reservoir high on the hillside would have been a danger to those below if its walls were ever to breach.
