The Stockton and Darlington Railway
A new song by Peter Harrison to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the opening of The Stockton and Darlington Railway on 27th September 1825.
The song tells the story of the building of the line in four easy-to-sing verses with a catchy chorus. This is a jolly song which I hope everyone will enjoy.
Enquiries about the song can be addressed to www.peterharrisonmusic.co.uk

Firstly, thank you to all subscribers to the ‘Lowleigh’ videos. Your support and encouragement are most appreciated. Sadly, Lowleigh is no more. But I have incorporated as many as possible of the buildings and smaller models into my new layout ‘Ashcombe’. And some of my favourite old locos are still plying their trade albeit converted now to EM gauge. Lowleigh was, of course, closely based on H...

This is our last visit to Lowleigh Station. It's 1964 and much has changed since our first video set in 1957 - 'A Day at Lowleigh Station'. Lowleigh is situated about halfway down the fictitious branch which runs between Kidderminster and Brombury in Worcestershire.The model is to the scale of 4mm:foot, track gauge '00'. 'Lowleigh' was featured in MRJ numbers 241 & 242 and several shorter artic...

Brombury Loco is a 4mm scale model of a small engine shed in the Worcestershire market town of Brombury, terminus of the ex-Great Western Railway branchline which wends its way through Lowleigh from Kidderminster. The video depicts a typical day in the life of the shed on a Saturday in late September 1953.

Diesel Debut at Lowleigh

In our third visit to Lowleigh, a passing station on the ex-GWR branch which wends its way from Kidderminster to the market town of Brombury, we see the introduction of a diesel service on the line. It is 1958 and a class 122 diesel mechanical single unit replaces the small prairie and its B-set which previously provided the passenger service.

In our second visit to Lowleigh, a passing station on the ex-GWR branch which wends its way from Kidderminster to the market town of Brombury, we watch the morning freight arrive. Three vanloads of supplies are delivered to Tuckers' agricultural business situated in the station yard. A now empty mineral wagon, which has been unloaded since our last visit, is collected from the local merchant's ...
A Day at Lowleigh Station
Просмотров 98 тыс.6 лет назад
Welcome to Lowleigh. After an introduction to the branchline and the station, the video depicts all of the trains that call at the wayside passing station on a typical summer's day in 1957 when railways still served their local communities. Lowleigh is situated about halfway down the fictitious branch which runs between Kidderminster and Brombury in Worcestershire. The model is to the scale of ...

    Entertaining video. Just one thing - the distance signal is facing the wrong way! It should be the other way around with the ladder to the rear! The home signal, with a red arm would normally be immediately before the tunnel. Thanks for uploading.

    • @peterharrison6230
      @peterharrison6230 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for your comments. The fixed distant is on the 'wrong' side of the line for easier sighting by drivers emerging from the tunnel but I think it's correctly placed though not the full quarter of a mile from the station. Best wishes, Peter

    • @AllensTrains
      @AllensTrains 3 месяца назад

      @@peterharrison6230 From the point of view of videoing the layout, a home signal would look better at this location, since the camera cannot be placed at the viewpoint of the driver leaving the tunnel! Have fun.

    Good to see you back. I'm looking forward to more lineside adventures 👍✌️🤞💜 I love that over bridge it feels very; Lechlade, Fairford, Carterton. That right wing wall abutment area looks of the era too but maybe needs the Civil Engineer to cast his eye over it just to be sure🤔🤔😉 Charming music and voice over too👍✌️💜😊

    • @peterharrison6230
      @peterharrison6230 3 месяца назад

      Good to hear from you. Yes you're right about Carterton/Brize Norton - not intentional but I've just looked at a pic in 'Great Western Branchline Steam 2 p72'. Re the Civil Engineer again you are right! Because of the curve of the track and the embankment the bridge is hardly visible from a normal viewpoint and I didn't notice the wonky abutement til we watched the video (the camera was perched in the field in the corner). It would take major earthworks to fix it. Comments always welcome and thanks for watching. We've added a bit more information to the video description. Hoping to do Postcard 2 soon (when I get the pesky level crossing gates to work!). All the best, Peter

      Thanks for your kind words Jeremy. We try not to be over-sentmental in the videos but nostalgia is a powerful thing. I have no memories of GW branchlines personally as I was brought up in industrial Wallsend on Tyneside - shipyards, pits and heavy industry and endless 'J27s', ''Q6s', rattling wagon trains and lots of smoke - lovely!, Best wishes, Peter

Hoping to do Postcard 2 soon (when I get the pesky level crossing gates to work!). I must admit I haven't yet decided where Ashcombe is supposed to be. The track layout is based in Wookey Station in Somerset but I'm not sure whether a timetable will emerge. We found it a bit restricting on 'Lowleigh' especially in the final years! All the best, Peter

      @JamesMichaelPearson 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for responding, Peter. Growing up with Portreath, Berrow, Charmouth et al, I always felt that operating to a timetable added to the authenticity and plausibility of a model, yet it is done so little these days. Anyway, thrilled to have your modelling back on RUclips, and looking forward to further ‘postcards’ 👊

You're right about Digitrains - I've dealt with them since the 'Digby Manor' days. It's been interesting to watch how the firm has developed. I've always found them helpful and good to deal with and enjoy atrip to the showroom in Lincoln from time to time.
