An early morning visit to the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway on Thursday 31st May 2018 to see LNER A4-class 4-6-2 No.4498 "Sir Nigel Gresley" being prepared by its driver for a day's work during the Half-Term week.
This video features from the lighting of the fire, cleaning and lubrication to collecting coal, water and coaches before setting out on the first train of the day.

A lot of hard, dirty and rewarding work at the end of it.

I love how the model A-4 sounds just like a full-size engine, and so do the little passenger cars as they roll by.

it is a steam engine, just a tiny one.

@flybobbie1449 2 года назад

School break time in 70's i would go sometimes to library. On the shelf was a book on steam locos and details how they worked. I then realised the book was aimed at loco model builders (6 inch wheel castings gave it away). Was amazed to think people would build such. Back then many men worked in machine shops and building a live steam loco a hobby in the garden shed.

@Petriefied0246 3 года назад

So much work involved in getting this up and running, but what a beautiful engine!

@Aieou472 Год назад

i still cant believe that this was filmed at a place that ive been to uncountable times. the great thing about this place is that you can just drive in, park, buy a ticket and get on a train. its completely open to the public. and its a great area for walking as well.
