For The Love Of Trains
Новая Зеландия
Добавлен 2 ноя 2022
Coming from the UK I've always had an interest in trains. Steam, diesel and model. My passion was ignited by playing on the scrap steam engines at Woodhams Scrapyard in my backyard of Barry (South Wales) and watching 80's diesel engines pass our backyard. For some reason the allure of the metals has never left me and I search out railway experiences wherever I go. Coupled with this, I try my hand at modeling from time to time. The videos on here will mostly be views of the trains without music or commentary. If you like an eclectic mix of videos and pictures from around the world and like this style of video, a like, comment and a subscribe would really help. Thanks Chris

How much smoke? | A428 Working Hard at Frog Rock!
I counted 126 wagons but my eyes blurred at one point so I may have missed a few.
Yes, thats what I thought...how long would that be - over 1Km?
@@fortheloveoftrains According to the,CRRC website (,Chinese manufacturer of rolling stock, including hopper wagons for Australia), each hopper wagon is just over 14.2 metres long. 126 wagons x 14.2 metres gives us 1,789.2 metres or 1.78km. Add in the three engines (I know nothing about Australian railways) and you are probably looking at just under 2km in total - or about 1¼ miles in old money.
@@fortheloveoftrainsdue to the wagons being smaller then other it's likely to be about 1.8km or even 2.3km maybe even longer
Wow, That’s pretty long, do you know how long the trains get in the US?
@@fortheloveoftrains no I don't since I'm an aussie bloke but the WA iron ore trains are the longest trains in Australia I believe and the ore trains carry about 2.3millon dollars worth of ore
And that one steam engine made the job quicker and more accurate using a hundredth of the labour.
Torque?
What a beautiful car!
The kitson tram no 7 remenber Toby 😊
Hello Flora!
Absolutely charming!
Fantastic, it's a 1910 model 60?
Thank you for sharing this launch of this classic car.
Was that asbestos under the hood?
Not sure, some sort of lagging 🤷♂️
What a beautiful car I see it in Christchurch New Zealand 🇳🇿. You should be so proud of it😊 I am shearing this video with my uncle in Ireland 🇮🇪
Awesome car thank you for sharing
I've stayed in an hotel in Krakow, Poland, there is a tram line on the street running very close to the building. First service of the day woke me up every morning. But this version of the tramway-alarm-clock is pushing the concept at another level ^^'
That looks like a quaint little old fashioned city that hasn't been allowed to become ruins like some US cities have. The trolley is a nice old fashioned type too. We don't see anything like that very often except at trolley museums and historic/historical street railways in cities like S.F., CA.
Thanks for the comment, come and visit, we have a few teams here, I’ll post some more for you 😊
@@fortheloveoftrains Heyyy, thanks! 😀
Nice to see the mesh behind the steps there, nothing like footy choppy offy with the connecting bar :D
Thanks for explaining.
Even the beautifully balanced Class 17 Clayton was not quite what it should have been. Not made reliable in time. And the crime of there only being one left in the whole world. Fortunately, only a 40 minutes drive away from me.
There's a lot more than one !!

Forest of Dean Railway
@@fortheloveoftrains The Forest of Dean Railway has a D9555, which is a Class 14 diesel. Chinnor and Princes Risborough has a D8568, which is a Class 17, and therefore is a REAL Clayton. Class 14's were never called The Clayton. Therefore, there is only ONE Class 14 in the world, and it is 9 miles away from my home.
I always remember a comment in a rail book about dieselisation after the war about all sorts of designs were tried out, many of them being quite unsuitable. Many of them had a very short life on BR, like many of these class 14s lasting barely 5 years before withdrawal. Wiki mentions that unlike other classes it was not because of unreliability, but because the roles they were built for - presumably shunting - were disappearing on the rail network. However most of them were sold to private industry where they worked for a decade or so, a few were sold for roles abroad and 34 of them, over half the class, ended up being preserved on heritage railways where they became Really Useful.
as a diesel hydraulic it was considered "non standard". BR standardised on diesel electric.
When was this?
Earlier this year.

Great idea. Just let those Diesel monsters roll in reverse and suck in the mess they produce
NZ has/had some incredible rail journeys: Picton to Kaikoura, Christchurch to Greymouth, the Central Plateau and the Raurimu Spiral, etc. It's such a pity the services are now so poor/infrequent. At least the Kingston Flyer is finally operating again.
Yes you're right, i should get on those before they endup on the scrap heap. Kingston Flyer is awesome 😍
G'day Mates!! Kind regards from Bs. As. Argentina... Amazing footage!! Could you please tell me the gauge?? All the best, Rodolfo
I loved the steam trains 1959/60/61/62/63 . They were my main interest as a boy and i still treasure my IAN ALLAN book of train numbers from 1962 . I am lucky to have lived in those times and i am sad they have gone now .
Yes lucky to have seen them working for real, would love to have seen that. 😊
Look at this beauty clad in English Racing Green. Jim Clark would love her.
i cant tell if that is a LNER Thompson b1 or an LNER K4
Be a whole lot better in focus
Back in the days before smart phones 🙄
That looks like one of the ones they had in Christchurch before the earthquake
Oooo about THAT much!
Why the paraffin can on the back when on a private railway!
What was attached to the rear of the train was a Dr. Doolittle Push-Me-Pull-Me Engine.
Love them, or hate them: I've always liked Thompson designs.

Yes you’re right
Great videos ! 👍
Thanks , appreciate it 😊👌
@@fortheloveoftrains You're very welcome !
too much of a good king I say.
This is pretty typical for excursion runs. Modern coaches require head-end power connections that aren't available on steam locomotives. Additionally, in some places the diesel is required as a backup in case of a breakdown - granted, if a steam locomotive breaks down chances are it can still limp off to a siding, and a diesel is actually more likely to end up stuck on the main, but no one's taking any chances. In the US, Big Boy 4014 always runs with at least one SD70MAC behind it.
