I go there every year and I absolutely love it, I go there with my uncle, grandma, my mam and sometimes my dad. My uncle would bring his little V3 locomotive. My grandad absolutely loved it there, I hope he looks down and watches next time I go
Impressive how these guys can actually build miniature steam locomotives that are strong enough to carry the weight of 1 or possibly more full scale human beings. I’d love to own and operate 1 of these little 7.5 gauge railways in my own yard with many original/rebuilt versions of the Bulleid Pacifics Merchant Navy and Battle of Britain/West Country classes.
I've seen some videos in my time. but your view on this this subject is outstanding. id like to say a big thankyou to you as it is always a pleasure to watch an see. especially Wigan. were i helped a friend to pick up his new engine. and meet some of the nicest people I've meet in years ( Jason ? ) i think. such a grand layout in the grounds of a beautiful ole house that the council now own. many many thanks to you sir atb T one
I really love the attention to detail on these loco's . Just one thing though, there is a diesel on here that I have never seen before, black with eight driving wheels and red connecting rods. Can someone please tell me what this is? Other than that, I just love this video.
@Stuart Cambell-Frazer, the locomotive you mentioned is a British Rail 10100 which was an unusual experimental diesel locomotive known informally as The Fell Diesel Locomotive.
Is it any wonder that the railways lost goods traffic to roads? Those 4 wheel goods wagons are so small, why where larger cars not adopted earlier in the U.K?
I could imagine that there was some ash that was dropped out of one of the engines. Since the weather conditions seemed quite hot the guy probably extinguished any spots that could have caused a fire.
The reason the track was being watered is not due to fire risk. It was a very hot weekend and the expansion joints had fully expanded and the track was at risk of buckling so the watering was an attempt to cool the track so it would contract.
