Hi everybody,
Welcome to this months edition of Lawrie Goes Loco. We're heading back to the 2 foot gauge Old Kiln Light Railway in the Museum of Rural life to drive one of the mainstays of their operational fleet.
If you like what you've seen and want more information on the Old Kiln Light Railway - or you're interested in joining the society, have a look at their website:
oldkilnlightrailway.co.uk/
If you fancied saying thank you for the video to the OKLR and would like to help them restore Pamela, the link to the just giving page is below:
www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/power-for-pamela
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter. Glad to be asked back the OKLR
Matt - Cameraman. Not entirely sure how Lawrie got him to film more trains.
Note: For the sequence when Lawrie is speaking to the camera, there are no members of the public on board the train.
Get in contact!

I've got an Instagram! Keep track of what I'm up to with Lawries_Mechanical_Marvels

I think a Planet review (NG and SG) would be great ideas. How about coming to Scarborough and having ago on Neptune, the oldest Diesel Hydraulic (steam outline) locomotive....? Or perhaps on Georgina, the North Bay Railway's youngest locomotive, which is a Bagnall Sipat design?

@lmm 5 лет назад

I'm working on planet on both gauges, so hopefully that'll happen soon. I would be so up for both of these! Drop me an email at lawrie@lawriesmechanicalmarvels.com and we can see about making it happen!

@phil69881 2 года назад

@@Living_Life_RN yes, she's part of the PRCLT at the West Shed, alongside the 2 Princess Royal look-alikes that were built for Butlins. She's had to be regauged from 20" to 21" for that, though. They're looking after her well.

Seriously enjoying your driving of all things narrow gauge and industrial...an area oft neglected by train buffs who concentrate on BIG engines, fast engines and mainline trains... Many of the HUNSLET machines in Australia are also very, very "snug". Often requiring exit from the cab in order to change your mind.

@lmm 4 года назад

Really glad you're enjoying what we do, there are plenty of larger locomotives I'd really like to have a go with. The smaller engines are often the more interesting.

@thecsmann 5 лет назад

Those hunslets are the lowest spec of the 1980's mod narrow gauge! The baguleys are bigger but still crude. The RAF Barclays ( the last narrow gauge loco s that the mod used) have every extra on the option list. Air operated sanding gear with built in sand dryers. Independent mounted cab. A vortex exhaust system so no heat leaves the system. Electronic operated 2 speed gear box. And that's just the start of the features! PS all five are currently at the bredgar and wormshill.

I did, at one point, volunteer with a 3 foot gauge railroad in New Jersey... oddly enough, they have an Irish narrow gauge steamer from the Cavan and Leitrim, the "Lady Edith". Such a beautiful engine, but it seems the boiler and firebox need serious work they can't handle, plus they're made of copper. Here in the states, licenses for big copper boiler work are minimal, if they exist at all. The inspector didn't even know where to begin.
