Perhaps no branch line in the world is as both simultaneously famous and obscure as the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway. Known for its iconic steam trams, the little railway carried out a peaceful existence for many decades, and while its fame would come too late to save it, it retains a unique place in British railway history. What if we could revisit the railway as it was back in the day? Are there things we can learn from exploring the Tramway in a simulator? We’ll turn back time, at the railyard!

@@coalandsteelrailroadvideos1342 I mean, it wasn't really a route review tho, so you could say this is the first "proper" episode of At The Railyard since then.

It's back! This series is great, and I hope to see more of it. Even if this is just a one-off, it's great to see an episode of this series again.

@NickOzorak Год назад

There could certainly be more episodes in the future. It all comes down to whether something inspires me to do so.

@nicksellers2720 11 месяцев назад

You’ve captured this all so beautifully. My family and I have lived in Wisbech and the surrounding area for generations and I’ve always been fascinated by the tramway. You’ve totally nailed the essence of it. There’s not a huge amount of footage of the tramway around from it’s heyday, and today there’s very little trace of it left to revisit, so this video will really resonate with a lot of people. Absolutely incredible work, thank you, sincerely, for bringing this to life.

@NickOzorak 11 месяцев назад

Thank you very much!

@thenostalgiaman Год назад

Ah yes, At the Railyard. How I missed this show. Also, it tackles the railway Toby (from Thomas and Friends) is based upon.

@NickOzorak Год назад

People are very familiar with Toby and the name "Wisbech & Upwell", but my goal was to go deeper into the history of the Tramway itself.

@thenostalgiaman Год назад

@@NickOzorak And you've done so well. I salute you for making the project so magnificent.

@steamsteelproductions Год назад

Like many others I had heard of this line through Toby being based on it, but I never knew the history. Very interesting and beautifully recreated!

@DVR01 3 месяца назад

You did a fantastic job adding classical music Nick. By the way, I noticed this Brake-van from Thomas and Friends at 7:52 since I recognized the conductor inside. Plus, these steam trams and shunter diesel are indeed like Mavis and Toby.

Gee. England, along with Wales, is a Haven riddled with railways serviced to lots and lots of good-looking trains that came and went, huh? The steam tram trains in particular are the coolest locomotives I've seen - what with their short stature, their square wooden outlook, and their side plated covered wheels with cowcatcher plows at each end. Quite the fascinating eye-catchers.

@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga Год назад

Before the J70s came along, they used smaller Y6 class 0-4-0s on this line. Not long ago I made a video about the history of the Y6, mostly using footage from Train Simulator classic.

I was born in Wisbech 77 years ago. Toby ran at the top of my road so I used to see it every day. Never realised how famous he was to become. It was a wonderful time back then .

Peter Paye he goes to my railway club. Although I don’t think I’ve met him. He’s written a few books about branch lines in East Angelia.

@JessicaKasumi1990 Год назад

Just shows what you can do with the right amount of time and patience. Train sims open the door to relive an era long gone or do operate equipment long gone or equipment that they'll never get to operate IRL. Good job, Nick.

I was lucky to see a train on the line in 1966, loco plus 2 coal wagons and a brake van,locos used on the line were D2200, D2201, D2202 and D2203, though mainly the first 2 were used and D2203 was very rarely used, only D2203 survives today, sadly I never got the number of my sighting in 1966

@astridvallati4762 Год назад

The background Music is well chosen, from former times, even if earlier than the Railway; but exemplifying the slower pace of agricultural life of the time. Bravo.

@NickOzorak 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. Classical music was a genre I hadn't fully explored in previous episodes, and this felt like a good time to use it.

I live very close to the old Wisbech and Upwell tramway. Much missed. Brilliant video.

@BusBadger Год назад

As somebody who grew up near Wisbech and spent most of my bus driving career running the former route of the line, I'm very very excited to see this realised. It's a shame how there is so little of it left now, but if you know where to look, there's still the signs.

@NickOzorak Год назад

@fallingup90 Год назад

This show has always been a creative playground for me to experiment with different genres of music. I'm glad you've enjoyed the song selections!

@thurstablelane7567 Год назад

I will be honest, digital railways don't move me the same way that model railways do. However, this has impressed me no end, I can see all the photo's you've used and replicated. I have to say I'm very impressed with your work! You have captured my love for the area and feel of East Anglia (A I lived in for 26 Years) So well that I felt I wasn't watching a Sim but a model. I am a keen O Gauge (7mm) modeller and I have found the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway, Kelvedon & Tollesbury & the Thaxted branch as key inspiration for my layout Thurstable Lane.

@NickOzorak Год назад

Thank you. It's reassuring to know that I captured the feel from someone who lived there.

Thanks Nick - loved to see your train-sim rendition and also appreciate the mentions of the Bramley Line which could reopen soon as either a light railway or a heritage railway. Don't think the railway to Upwell could ever be restored, but it will always be in our memories.

Very cool British Tramway. I really like the steam tram a lot.

@CZ350tuner Год назад

The Reverend W.Awdry's church was only 3.5 miles from the Wisbech tramway and he visited it frequently. The real life "Toby" was J70 68226 and it was the last J70 used on the line. Awdry created the character "Toby" after 68226 was withdrawn. "Mavis", the Drewry 0-6-0 class 04 diesel mechanical tram engine, was also based on a real Wisbech locomotive. The Drewry was capable of a top speed of 29 MPH ((or 45 MPH if a suitable coin was added to the governor). The J70 class tram engines replaced the earlier underpowered GER Y6 class 0-4-0 tram engines. The J70 class were designed specifically for the line.

@ronanvave560 Год назад

I wonder which one of those trams is the one that becomes number 7, while one the coaches is Henrietta.

@nickaprill5427 Год назад

According to the Railway series by Rev. Wilbert awdry, the real Toby is BR 68221 because that is the engine that Wilbert, his wife, and children got to ride on thanks to a friendly crew when they went on holiday.

@tehherpderp7007 Год назад

@kellyashfordtrains2642 Год назад

The design of the J70 steam tram engine was used to create Toby the Tram Engine, in the original Railway Series Books written by Wilbert Awdry. I have the new Bachmann 00 gauge Toby and Henrietta models in my collection. Top that if you can.😂

I wish I could go visit and find me a nice decent place in England to live that's close to a tramway branch line railroad. I kinda feel like if I had the incredible talent to build me a steam tram locomotive to own all for myself, I could perhaps work as a content railroader. So many things to discover out there that I want to discover, learn and experience than the shit I come across to living in America that doesn't exactly have as much to bare, other than the multiculturalisms of people from different parts of the real world that come here to live in peace, civility, and prosperous livelihood.

@GerardScroogeGoes Год назад

hmmm, some aspects of the landscape and track set-up have a North-American flavour to them. Like single track, but wide path through the landscape. English RR's had to buy each square meter of land and would not buy two lanes and lay one. The absence of embankments. Than again it might just be the cowcatcher and bogie coaches with open balconies :) I know they are authentic, but they do look out of place.
