Jay was completed in 1992 and is a diesel hydraulic engine. Although not based on a specific prototype, it is similar in appearance to many industrial diesel engines. Jay is our workhorse and it is used almost every day of the year.
It is used by the engineers for maintenance trains, shunting engines and carriages, patrolling the railway and pushing our snow plough. As a special treat, Jay is sometimes allowed to pull passenger trains, this was filmed on the Autumn Gala day and it was a great trip.
Whistlestop valley as a whole is a fantastic attraction, a full ticket offers unlimited rides on both the 3.5 mile narrow gauge railway, the Clayton Flyer and a number of amazing indoor and outdoor attractions and play parks for children. There is food served at both ends of the line, a shop and plenty of stunning walks if you need a change of pace. The range of locomotives, the facilities and the staff that work there made it an overall enjoyable day for us.
Whistlestop valley can be found at Park Mill Way, Clayton West, Huddersfield HD8 9XJ and the car park is free, large and well looked after. There is a 2m barrier on the car park but this can be opened upon request, just ask a member of the team once there.
Overall as tourist lines go this has easily been one of the best value we have visited, it is definitely worth putting aside a full day for a visit as there is lots to do.

Brings back a few memories, remember well when British rail ran down to Clayton West, used to go to the signal cabin at Clayton West Station, knew the signal man well he was called Harold Armitage, pulled the levers for the passenger trains and the coal trains, hauled by class 37's and the 40's, park Mill colliery was on the right leaving the station, signal cabin was on the right just before the road bridge, at Skelmanthorpe the screens of emely Moor colliery was on the right just past the bridge, can still recall the kirklees light railway being built

100% true story, we was late checking in on a holiday because of this place and my 2 year old that didn't want to leave. I had to ring up Haven in Filey (and Morrisons click and collect) to tell them our half way stop off become a full day out!

This is epic! Looks like an old standard gauge right of way converted to narrow gauge operations. I wish they would do things like this in the U.S., too many lines are lost to walk paths or bike trails. Something like this, you could do both with a fence to separate the two. Great video
@TheTouristLine
@TheTouristLine 2 года назад
It was standard gauge, built with two lines in mind too but they only ever built one, and then even that ended up closing down. The single narrow gauge takes up such little room you could easily share the space like you say. We have a lot of old railways converted to cycle and walking paths here too, I have actually just purchased a bike so I can film a couple of the more interesting ones, it's good for people that are less able to explore them in person. Of course I do wish they was all still railways.

@thestig8133 2 года назад
It's been far too long ( many, many years ) since i had the pleasure of riding on a narrow gauge railway. & now i find it too difficult to travel long distances to travel on any of these lovely railways again. But, watching them on RU-vid is the best i can do.

Excellent again! Well looked after railway…if they ran a night time sleeper coach back and forth…I bet I could drift off to sleep with the rail joint clicks. Nice to see glimpses of Emley Moor TV tower (I thought I could see the slimmer temporary mast to one side of the tower too)….I used to enjoy the view from the top whenever I visited Emley in my IBA days. Mind you, BR was still running the branchline then, over 40 years ago. Keep up the good work, I’ve subscribed so I can enjoy each new production from your camera. Regards, Rob.

Sorry only just spotted this, I am not sure of the history of Emley Tower but I am going to do a bit of research myself. It is such an imposing structure, it was one of those things that even as a kid I knew where I was if I could see it from the car

I couldn't rate this place high enough, I went with my 2 year old so I got to see it all through tourist eyes more than a train spotters eyes, and as a family day out it is amazing! It did make us late for checking in on holiday as this was our half way stop on the drive over to Scarborough, but it was well worth it.

I would have loved to walk that tunnel, we have a couple of old ones on a disused line near us on the way towards Rochdale (nowhere near that long) and it is a brilliant experience.

Looks like the trackbed and bridges were designed for a standard guage track. Was there one there at some point in the past?
@TheTouristLine
@TheTouristLine 2 года назад
There was, it was supposed to be for two standard lines at one stage but they only ever got one in, it was a branch line off the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway but never really ended up being anything.

@greigs9384 2 года назад
It was a BR station up to 83 when it closed. Again, shortsightedness as now in 2021 with lots more housing it would have been a viable line once more especially for those who commute into Huddersfield, and the huge tourist draw to the area.

Let me do some digging and get back to you as I am not sure. I can tell you off the top of my head that the engine itself did used to be in a loco on Blackpool pleasure Beach under a pretend steam loco shell. But beyond that my own knowledge runs out for now.
