I enjoyed this Video.👍

I used to shunt with the o8 but I personally think the 03 was better

In years past, the troublesome trucks train had a brake van and guard.

No. 19 not got a face? 19 was stealing the limelight from Thomas for a while 😉 could always model a face from Mark.

I always learn something new from the guys in the workshop, great videos, cheers

Hi there. With the tie up between the SRPS and LSL now in place this should help your railway out Caroline

Brilliant as usual Alec. 👍👍👍👍

I am looking forward to 80105 first steaming day on the line for her first steam run

Lots of activity!

I'ts very good my Friends

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that the Class 26 looks like a Sloth? Great vid Eck very informative update from Brian.

Nice work going with 4MT. Is there any news or updates regarding the TCDD 45170 8f? Looks like everything has gone quite with the restoration of the loco. I see the tender is in the workshop.

A splendid blog...thank you.

19:55 is that Morayshire’s tender at tge back

Fantastic

Great video once again , 105 is coming along quite nicely

The first set of Boiler Makers flogging spanners I have seen for years. I have a new set in my Toolchest, never used.

It was good to have the 26 on the train on Saturday. Three drivers in the cab. Paperwork had to be completed because we haven't driven a 26 for a while and we are having a first train breakfast before departure. The blue container has a diesel alternator set in it. The power unit (from a class 21/29) was built by the North British Locomotive Company under licence from MAN.

Any chance of 26038 getting its name plates back?

Someting very reassuring the way the work around the loco is tackled. No fuss, just getting the job done and with such enthusiasm.

There are few rhythms better than a Sulzer. What a soundtrack!

@01:41 do parents need to be told that seats are for bottoms and not for faux trampolines?

Very good.

My Son who is in This video prefers not to be referred to as Winston and has Autism, although I'm sure your comment was in all innocence, it's just he gets that said a lot, cheers, David Simpson

40145 looked pretty good in that big BR blue livery as from a distance it just looked like a tractor 🚜 good video 🥰

Could you please tell me the date of this parade , I’d love to know .

gGood video that Caley tank looks stunning in BR black , and 105 looks to be close to steaming excellent

Great place lot going on in the yard also short walk to the lock gates the coal ships where loaded there my trip was a few years ago at Christmas along with the Falkirk wheel. Tony R Lancashire

Excellent Video, I certainly enjoyed this.😃👍

Great video

Enjoyable to watch.

Getting visitors from South Wales now then. 80105 seems to be coming on well.

It’s a shame the Caledonian tank is no longer in that lovely shade of blue, but it’ll hopefully get repainted one day.

Love that throttle up right when passing thru the tunnel. Brainwashed kids :D

A Fantastic Video at that.👍

So this would be first start up in how many years??

Whats the footage going to be used for?

thanks for letting us know about the flats and houses. caroline

All that 'PRESSURE' Building JUST TO WASTE IT!!!!

What a beautiful shade of blue the river Forth was

Hi there. wondered what that new building was. more flats by the look of it. caroline

Vandals broke into a carriage on our local NYMR (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) some time ago. They drank all the beer in the bar then smashed it all up 'because they were bored'. Father of one dragged his son down to the police station. Now all restored but so sad that people can behave like this. Donation made.

Did the two men start the fire to cover up theft of models

Unfortunately justice will not be served as you all know, I left the UK 20 years ago and have never regretted it.

Man babies. Its always sad to hear of vandalism on the railway. Especially when its the time and dedication of others wasted. I'm building a little snippet of Bo'ness railway at the moment for my dad in 00.

I model railways in Gauge 1, 1/29th, 12/22.5, 1/20.3, and 16mm, much of it live steam. If it can run on 45mm gauge track, then I run it and often build it from scratch. I can fully appreciate the time and effort that went into your famous model, and can only offer my sympathy - and a donation - to spur you on to replacing it in full. Don't let these mindless POS win - if you found them on fire they are not worth peeing on to put them out.

great to see everyone having a good time, i wonder if they still have the DVT which moves by itself

This is tremendously sad to hear of. My brother and his wife volunteer on the railway and on the tours. Heartbreaking as you say for all the hours of painstaking work by dedicated modellers - bringing pleasure to so many and trashed in a moment by heartless and selfish brain-dead individuals.

That is absolutely heartbreaking. I have loved heritage rail and electric trains since I was a boy back in the 1950s. Devastating to see all that work and labour of love destroyed by vandals. You can't recover what was lost but you will build back again and decent people will once again have the opportunityto enjoy something really special. Already I can see from your fundraiser how much goodwill and support you have. This will NOT defeat you. My very best wishes.

Was the model railway insured?
