This has been one of the most amasing and inspirational videos I have ever seen on RU-vid. Thank you so much. Thank you also for showing me how stupid I was growing up in the steam age and not appreciating how quickly it would disappear.

Hats off to volunteers the recordist and Documentary makers. Its absolute beauty and marvel to see this sream revival. Salute to spirit of all involved.

Gentlemen, I'm honestly not a locomotive fan, but i'm halfway through this brilliant documentary and started thinking..... If/when the shtf, I'll not be surprised that these magnificent machines will make a comeback! No ECU or computer chips in these great marvels of engineering! Having said that, i'm going to finish watching this! Many thanx to Spark for the u/l (and of course a Happy? New Year!) Cheers! Mick

@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 Reverend W. Awdry also volunteered at the Talylyn Railway too thus the one of amazing stories of Thomas began its journey on the narrow gauge railways like another train departing out of station with smoke and steam.

@sKid-gh9ub 2 года назад

The Talyllyn Railway's most famous volunteer by far who, even though he can be seen in some of the footage in this documentary, isn't even acknowledged by the narrator. This documentary is very good and I really like it, but to overlook the Reverend seems very remiss, especially when you consider how many foreigners know about the Talyllyn because of his books.

I love trains so much, and to know that so much with the steam type happened in Europe (don't remember where they were) is just so fascinating

@dinshawmuncherjee5123 3 года назад

These folk are a different breed of men. There has to be more than the mundane trudge of material existence to make life worthwhile. Being the son of a Railway man, I do feel that drive and love for those glorious days of steam. Thank you for letting me partake off this glorious venture: I follow you with glee!

One doesn't always need a hammer, but sometimes there is nothing like the Universal Universe Adjuster swung smartly. I've split wood, moved pallets for wood, and straighten wood piles, all with a swinging hammer. There is special feeling around digging and doing something like this. An old friend was involved this a similar project in Maine. It was the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway. It is also narrow gauge. God Bless you all

@drdewott9154 4 года назад

Probably TV rights or something like that. Maybe some TV Channel in the UK has the Broadcasting rights to it in the UK. I mean at the end of the day the documentary is uploaded by a New Zealand broadcaster and if they want to upload it to RU-vid that's their choice, that just means they have to block it in the countries where other broadcasters have the rights to it.

@unconventionalideas5683 2 года назад

So long as it is enough to keep the railway going, that is all that is necessary.

@unconventionalideas5683 2 года назад

Note that this might also be partially because the elderly are more likely to have the time to volunteer a lot more due to being retired from conventional employment, too, and may not be entirely due to a lack of interest...
