It's funny you should say that, because we were having a discussion along those lines at school today. Well, we were talking about writer's intentions vs. director's interpretation in drama, but it's the same principle. As soon as a writer commits his words to paper, he loses control over them. The reader (or for plays, the director) can interpret them however they wish, even if their interpretation is not what the author intended. So with Romney and Ravenglass, we could argue that even if they were originally intended by their "authors" as miniature railways, in fact they evolved to serve "real" purposes - eg. the granite traffic at Ravenglass, or the school train at Romney - and thus, we can interpret them as narrow gauge railways. But then, if we agree that is up to individual interpretation, we really do have no hope of ever coming up with a definitive answer! :rolleyes: |
