Years ago I was at the army camp at Lydd and got a day off. After a fish dinner at The Pilot, a group of us caught the bus to Hythe for a few beers. The only problem was there were no buses going to Lydd from Hythe, only New Romney, and we'd missed the last scheduled RHDR service, which terminated at Hythe. Knowing that the locos were stabled at Romney, I managed to blag a ride back to Romney on the ECS train, for me and my mates. Let's just say that it was a lot faster than a normal service train. Even my pissed up squaddie mates were impressed. We gave the crew enough beer tokens for a good time, as an expression of our gratitude. Nearly 40 years ago but the best preserved railway journey ever.
A beautiful route with magnificent locomotives! It's very enjoyable to see from your perspective how you try to maintain control over the locomotive, and it's clear that you must remain sharp at all times, monitoring both your fire and water levels as well as keeping an eye on the track. Again, it's a very enjoyable perspective; there are only a few on RU-vid who produce such lengthy videos with good audio and video quality! 🚂
Thank you! It’s a very busy day driving and being a fireman (and in my case learning the route!) I’m hoping to release some more footage like this in the future.
The engine was named after the late Roger Matthews, son of Charles (Senior). His brother, Charles built a relatively short (~500') track around the house that he and Roger had lived in their entire lives. On Charles's passing, it returned to Statford. Charles Senior had amassed quite a collection- the majority of the collection was passed to the Ontario Agricultural Museum, forming something like 50% of the collection. He was a house mover, as were his sons, who were great supporters of the Ontario Electric Railway Museum in Rookwood. The collection extended to 3 Sentinel waggons, the superheated Garret wagon, a pair of plowing engines, Micheal, King of the Scarlets, the Wren (Roger) and a 2' gauge Cranberry Engine (ex Bobber Gibbs). The Kirkfield (Ontario) 0-4-0's passed through their ownership, (the old pair, not the last in use), and a mountain of other stuff- Kirkfield side dump hoppers, ford T engines, maple leaf barbed wire....there was mountains (literally !) of stuff in the yard. It's my understanding that King of the Scarlets was run in the early 1960's at Langstaff. flic.kr/p/2jKzcNz In steam, in Langstaff, Ontario. David Powell and Larry with it
But the front and rear windows of the steam locos seem like bulbs on ships. I think this can only happen in england with so nice colours if trains and cars so perfectly restored.
@@suffolksteam Ok and Thank you very much for replying to my comment. I would love if you could take a quick look at my page and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.I have a new video out today.Hope you like and share.
Thank you! Would be nice to see more often. To shed some light on my the garden line failed when you went I believe the electrics for the alarm on the crossing gate were broken due to water ingress.
Nice video, thanks for uploading, really enjoyed watching, really looking forward to seeing what you upload next and loved the shots of your train arriving into Dungeness and loved seeing the shot of the steam train facing over direction out of Dungeness station, thats really rare to see. Maybe they should try and maybe travel the other way in and out? Just a suggestion lol? If by the way you are interested in looking at any videos on my channel?

@@suffolksteam Yer it's nice to see places running trains again, especially Romney. Ah right cheers, I caught 2 and 9 back in July so hopefully will see some of the others.
@@suffolksteamit nothing fancy i use a phone as my camera that has a protective case over where the mic is but if the wind is to fast it intrudes on the sound i have been looking at external mics with the wind mufflers.
Yes it was the busiest weekend yet! Usually Bressingham is at 40-50% capacity but to me it looked more like 75% that day. The health and safety forms to get running are still pretty bad! 😂
Nice video Bevan looks smart in the lined green. It is nice that the lines and museums are getting back to it I just st hope I manage to get back filming soon
It's definitely an interesting different style for the loco, yes hope you do get back filming mate, I really need to get a good day dedicated to filming underneath my belt
Hi there "Suffolk Steam", thank you very much indeed for uploading + sharing this great video of this amazing "model railway". While watching it my "little boy´s heart" awoke again inside of me and filled with joy and happiness. I grew up not far away from a train yard for steam engines of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB = former stately German railways) in the early 1970ies. The very last steam engines of the DB were still on duty and running. And although it was strictly forbidden, I very often strolled around the steam engine train yard, in and on the engines, while they were unattended and their fires were still burning. If I close my eyes I still do smell the mixture of coal dust, engine oil and soot in the air. This still gives me goosebumps up to this very day. These were the happiest moments of my childhood days. Thanks for reminding me again. (excuse my poor English, please). Thumbs up, of course ;-). Take care Thomas from Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany Ps: As a German - who lost two of his greatgrandfathers in WW I - it really makes me sad seeing the UK leaving the EU. I wish I did not have to see this day in my lifetime.
Great video, I always love seeing Bressingham's steam fairs, I can't wait to visit them this summer. I'm super glad to see they finished that Austerity, very charming engine, even if she does sound a little funny; nothing a little maintenance can't fix though!
Thanks! Not sure, I think it will be there until they've fixed those problems and found somewhere else for it, all rather complicated but very good for Bressingham!
This is virtually the first time 3193 has run since 2003. It only passed its boiler test 10 days ago and, yes, it does have some small teething issues but nothing insuperable
Nice video :-). I've been to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway twice before years ago :-). This was back in 2016 when I went there, I would love to go there again at somepoint in the nearish future if I could but never mind if I don't :-). Hopefully in the 2020's decade I'll try and go there if I could but never mind if I don't, it would certainly be nice to go there again :-). It gave me tremendously marvelous enjoyability when I attended the RH&DR Railway back in 2016 along with my Nan and it would certainly be nice to visit it again someday :-). My grandmother's friends went to the RH&DR back in September 2018 and I heard it was nice for them when they went :-). It was indeed nice for me when I went to the RH&DR Railway back in 2016 :-). It's surprisingly 2019 now :-O. Doesn't time fly :-O. Alright then, have a nice evening and take care of yourself :-). I'll look forward to checking out your channel at somepoint in the nearish future :-). See you later Shorf :-). From your friend Foxy :-).
Hello there uhhh Wilf :-). I went to the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in 2016 just to say :-). I'll possibly go there again in 2022 or 2023 :-). Take care and all the best :-). From Foxy :-).
