A nice video showcasing the club and locos. From one of the owners of Polly 1 😂 This is a hobby for all ages, I started building Polly 1 at the age of 13. It is an original JGS Clarke model (with some of our own upgrades) and I remember visiting his workshop in Wales to collect some castings.

Lots of fun to be had by all!

No way! Where is this on the island?

Number one like!!!!

BBQ and trains. All you need now is a beer! Looks like great fun.

The triple camera thing makes this quite difficult to watch.

Love the mini trains at Mote park 😀

Lovely video and sparked memories of my youth. I seem to remember that the West Cliff Railway was steam powered back in the day, guess it isn't now; the East Cliff is still water balance powered (if still working). Spent my early teens living in that area and volunteered on the HMR, a very different railway in those days.

Your piece to camera at the beginning has the view transposed so the station sign is sdrawkcab . Loved the content!

Hornby, now owned by Mike Ashley - what more do you expect - cheap tat overpriced for mugs!

Must visit there soon, looks like a brilliant day out!

Hornby's warehouse and logistics operation has been outsourced and is now based in Hersden nr Canterbury, it was run by DS Logistics there. This occured when Hornby also moved it's base to a new business park near Sandwich. They then moved back to the Margate (Westwood) site but only in terms of office operations, which was featured in the James May, two part documentary. The visitor centre now re-invented as wonder works has always remained at Westwood. In my opinion the former Dover Western Docks / Dover Marine station now a cruise terminal office and car park operation would have made a good site for a railway museum. We could do with one specialising in Southern region stock and there used to be a transport museum at Clapham before it moved to York.

Would encourage any attempt to bring in more metrologic equipment use for track laying.

The site is owned by LSL, and Hornby rent their space, I dont know how Hornby can still call it a museum, its not even a visitor centre anymore , they've ripped the heart out of the place, Wonderworks is nothing more than a glorified showroom for their products, prices are sky high, other retail outlets normally sell cheaper when direct from the manufacturer, the place is a waste of space, its exactly the same floor space as the old visitor centre, but there was far more to see and learn from, today its an absolute joke, the historical part of Hornby, what is did, how its progressed has been eradicated by the new management there - as a former employee, I enjoyed the old visitor centre, I had a sense of pride of seeing what I did there, I loaned them an original 1960s tri-ang Hornby electric cleaning brush for locos still in its original packaging for display in old visitor centre, its never been returned to me. I wouldn't waste my time in there, as I say wonder works, coz its a wonder anything works, quality is so low.

I feel your pain!

Brilliant day out

Lovely stuff. We really enjoyed are visit and to be behind that loco too....epic.

Interesting video thanks. Last time I was in Broadstairs was in the 1950's. I remember my brother and I going out to one of the Lightships on the Goodwins, and some time after (not sure just when) the Lightship broke free of its moorings and was lost with all hands . Also, our holiday was cut short following the drowning of a French student, who fell or jumped off the pier. I remeber the commotion on the beach as her body was found. Nice to see there are actually attractions to visit, including burgers, lol.

Another good video, nice to see different things around Kent 😊

Congratulations to the KESR team and thank you for this great video

At 20:04 i can hear some weirdo shouting boylackasha 🤔

Finally made it into a video of the weekend! I was the Wittersham Road signalman handling the token exchange!

You got some great shots. Wish I’d been there!

Wow! That’s amazing that you got to drive an engine there! I have been to that railway a lot before and it is great!

It's a very historic loco & a part of the Channel Tunnel history for transporting broken down Eurostars! I'd happily help them try to fund it! 🙂

😮 I see she hasn't broken down again just like her last railtour! 😂 I caught her at Ashford International last year 1 day before she failed! 😅😬

They all have a depot whistle! Apart from the white Class 465's & 466's but they definitely sound nice! 😄 The rear lights on the 375 is quite concerning as they're supposed to be on tail lights which are red, but they're the forward lights 😮 Great video though! 😊 @DJScaniaRigRider

Is called a depot whistle usually used when moving about in maintenance yards, I believe the 376 also had them

The GWR 28xx/2884 classes actually have a higher tractive effort than the Stanier 8F's, 35,380 lbf vs 32,440 lbf 😉

Weather looked dreadful, loved the fact you braved the open carriage just to get footage 😂

👍🚂

don't these guys do a driver experience or something when they were down at the rh&dr for the may gala i herd them talking about a driver experience?

You're so lucky. I love steam engines so much. I wish I would get to drive one.

❤❤❤😍😍😍😍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

I've volunteered at Didcot for many years and its really great to see a video like yours. So glad you enjoyed the day out. I was there on Saturday working on the loco you remembered reading about - 18000. See you again soon eh?

Like to point out that the Chatterdeen and upnor railway coaches of which 4 are at the SKLR. 2 of them are at the Welshpool railway, Locomotives did NOT do 40mph on the bowaters railway yes they was "thrashed" however Monarch Now at Welshpool was the only Locomotive to haul 14 waggons during bowaters days all other locos were limited either due to their size or weight as not all of the Locomotives could work the full line from Ridham to Sittingbourne. The 5 inch guage railway is the 2nd version of this at kemsley and the first version was installed around 2006 and removed around 2008 and had 2 diesel Locomotive and one steam Locomotive owned by members at the time. Also I am a former member and former Museum creator at SKLR

51456 is owed by the railway I volunteer at

Absolutely love didcot! A great place

Thats a sexy warship! 😍

Do love the spa line and all there locos "home and visiting" 😊

No ULEZ times

i carnt be the only one that thinks that Mattel wants this series to die and restriction as just crazy and visting are going fill very cheated for 10 minute train ride which at price a family going be paying is going make spa valley railway and other railway look bad and lack off engine and rolling stock with out a face it fill very unlike sodor and just wonding how much longer preserved railway will continued to do this lack luster event before they desired it just not worth it any more 😕

At least they showed the original model era series of the show instead of the rubbish reboot it is an absolute joke and shame on what it has has become thanks Mattel for ruining what was once a great day out of Thomas thanks for sharing this 👍💙🚂

What was some of the stuff you'd recommed Mattel do to make the event feel more like it was a few years ago?

It's exactly the same here at the East Lancs. Railway this weekend. Nothing to see or do at the station where there used to be stalls of all kinds and virtually every piece of rolling stock had a face or other decoration. All you can do is get on the train, travel half the length of the line to Ramsbottom where you are not allowed to get on or off so the poor kids don't even get to see Thomas until they get off the train at Bolton Street. There are activities at the Museum (Rusty & Dusty etc.) but it's certainly not the full day out it used to be. I'm just glad that all the kids in my family got to see it before this happened.

I can confirm this was not the best experience ive ever had, day out with thomas was precious as a child and could of been amazing still.. but mattel decided they had to biyd by their rules and try to turn it into the CYI crap fest they did.. not the soa vslley railways fault.. but mattel succeded!

Can I ask do you know what happened to the old Thomas face that UK version of Day out with Thomas had? The one from 90s to 2012 after it was a CGI face?

It's a shame you didn't enjoy the experience but thanks for filming anyway. I did Thomas events at Bodmin and the Dean Forest as a child and they are really strong child memories with my family, it's a shame hardly any railways now run it. Classic example of money ruining things.
