2014 Ruddington Christmas steaming 

ADMIRALSCORNER My pleasure Mike,glad you enjoyed my video.We wish you and your family a very happy Christmas.Regards Chris.

Robert Masterman Yes Bob it's a good place to visit,they always look after you at Ruddington.What I failed to add was the large 00 gauge layout and of course the Standard gauge railway was running Santa specials as well.The duchess was lovely and coal fired as well,just amazing...Best wishes.Chris.

Nick Harrison Cheers Nick,we thoroughly enjoyed our day with you all.Glad you liked my video of the event.We will be with you next year all being well,you could see us around the Christmas holiday.Rosie and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas.

Looking forward to Monday to see if we are being released from prison,that's when they are reviewing this lockdown..Hopefully we can get back to some normality by May,fingers crossed.

@@wooltman I agree!! We've all got to many railway to visit rather than being stuck at home all the time!

***** Glad you enjoyed the video Steve,you know Rosie she will drive anything.The models of the A4 are really nice,I wouldn't mind one of them.Thanks for commenting and have a very Happy Christmas.Regards Chris and Rosie.

And i hope you two have a great Christmas......S.

turnout999 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.Thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated.Have a great Christmas. Cheers Chris.

AndreiTupolev Hi Andrei,They really do nip along,lovely loco's.Rosie had gone around and around on the 08 until she had no battery left then she started on the steam,she would have took every one for a run if they had let her,she just loves driving any type of loco.Best wishes Chris and Rosie.

Thanks Matt,yes we did video last years Christmas event and has been one of my most watched video's.Thanks for watching and commenting.Regards Chris.

Were any of your locos running??? Matt

MI Rail Yes Rosie was driving our 08 battery electric, plus anything else she could get her hands on.Chris.

+Ben McGuinness We have used the top station with our Hunslet,great fun running around the train and leaving again,shame they don't use it more often..We hope to be running again at Ruddington in December......Chris

SYKAROST Hi Brian,I do get a drive but not that often LOL,you really are missing out by not visiting Ruddington and GCR North,what I never showed on this video was the Santa specials on the standard gauge,run by a class 2.8.0 class 8 steamer t&t with a class 25 diesel,plus the very large 00 layout and the bus museum.Put this location on top of your list Brian.Best regards Chris.

Yes indeed Chris, could be a good day out.... All the guages AND a Bus Museum!! Nirvanah for an ex locoman and coach driver with an 00 layout lol.... Cheers, Brian.

+Ben McGuinness Hi Ben,If you look again at the video and look at the steaming bays, a transverser joins the end of the steaming bay as required and the loco is transported to the running track,you can see this on the video at 2.27,it moves over the 7 1/4 track when the gates are opened.Hope that helps......Chris

+wooltman thanks
