The last run of a narrow gauge diesel locomotive in industrial service in a British factory.
Painter Brothers, Hereford.
Lister Railtruck 40407/1954
Filmed in 2011 when I bought this, and the other Lister 54181/1964, which had already been lifted off the track by the overhead gantry crane.
To the best of my knowledge the title of this video is correct. There are a tiny number of other British industrial locations which still have narrow gauge tracks, an even tinier number with locomotive haulage, and preserved locomotives have operated on industrial lines.
But I don't know of any other locations in the British isles where a narrow gauge diesel locomotive has run in a factory in industrial service after the day I shot this video.
Immediately after the last frame of this video the cran...

One minute of Train - Perrygrove Railway - 2024 Gala
Просмотров 3482 месяца назад
Prepping for the Gala at Perrygrove 18 May 2024. 10 locomotives in service, 8 steam and 2 diesel, 7 resident and 3 visitors. Burning the very last of the Welsh Steam Coal, so no smoke. In future real coal will have to be imported from far away countries. When my wife Frances and I built the railway we only had to locomotives, Spirit of Adventure and Workhorse - and Workhorse couldn't pull passe...

One Minute of Train - Spirit of Adventure at Ravenglass (1)
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.10 месяцев назад
In February 1993 my new 15 inch gauge steam locomotive, "Spirit of Adventure" was nearly complete. It was built by the Stirland family (Trevor, June, Tony and Julie) at their combined railway and workshops, the Exmoor Steam Railway. There was only a short test track at the works, and I didn't have a railway of my own yet, but I hoped that it would be able to visit the Ravenglass & Eskdale railw...

One Minute of Train - Galatea departs Plymouth Sunday 30 July 2023
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Waiting for my train at Plymouth I realised that there was a main line steam special waiting in platform 8 and I was able to film it on my phone. I had no idea it would be there, it was a complete surprise. The video runs just over a minute because I wanted to keep some of the sound at the end - the phone couldn't catch all of it echoing across the roofs of Plymouth as the train headed for Corn...
The Torry Hill private railway
Просмотров 15 тыс.2 года назад
The Torry Hill railway is 9” gauge, in Kent, mostly built in the early 1930s, with additions in the 1950s. It's one of the most private lines in the country. No public access. You cannot see it from any publicly accessible land. I was able to visit with the Heywood Society. The locomotives are kept off-site. Miniature Railway magazine carried a very detailed account of the line in issue No. 8 (...
One Minute of Train - Soony at Perrygrove Railway
Просмотров 3102 года назад
This one's just over a minute - and sorry about the poor quality video but I hope the sound makes up for it. Soony is a Baldwin "might have been", 15inch gauge, which is based at the Perrygrove Railway in the Forest of Dean, England. These clips are mostly from 2013 when the locomotive was new. The full story is in the Heywood Journal No. 73 of Autumn 2013. Details of running days will usually ...

A short video highlighting the 5 "secrets" which enable realistic operation of live steam on a G scale layout. Not so secret now! Shot at the 2018 National Garden Railway show organised by the Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers. Hambleden Valley won the Best Layout competition at this show. Steve Howard who built it has told me that he no longer uses a magnet fixed to the choppers, as d...

    Great footage, thanks for uploading. I only realised that Painter Bros had industrial locos a few weeks ago from some pictures on Flickr. I used to work pretty much next door in 2002. Quite tempted to make a model railway based on it.

    Painter Brothers in Hereford. The company being part of Balfour-Beatty Group Ltd. They make Electricity Transmission Towers (They don't like to call them Pylons!) Whilst the Lister diesel looks have left for preservation. The system is still in use with a pair of 4w battery electric locomotives built by Clayton which are as follows. - 4wBE CE 5806/1973. - 4BE CE BO142B/1973. Today in 2024 Painter Brothers are one of the very few industrial locations in the UK that.are still using narrow gauge locomotives in any role at all.

    Last run on diesel. They installed overhead wires instead? 😂 And why do they push the cars themselves while they have a locomotive to do that for them? So many questions...

    • @Obbsserver
      @Obbsserver 23 дня назад

      Yes it was the last diesel run. They had two diesels at the time I bought them but the other one had already been lifted off the tracks. The replacements are Clayton battery electric locomotives. You can just see one at 1:30, inside the factory. I don't know why they pushed the wagons, I just filmed what they did. So many questions? Ask away.

    Not DoNZ? Well that's what happens when you listen to what the gricer next to you is saying - and it went by so fast I never saw the number or name. I didn't know about this run in advance, I just noticed a man with a camera standing beside the track and thought perhaps something interesting was on its way. BTW I was in a legal position behind the fence. Quite a good location here.

  • @Loganberrybunny
    @Loganberrybunny 12 лет назад

    Very good is an understatement - it looked sensational on the teaks. A nice dramatic angle you've got here - increases the drama. It's not running as DoNZ any more, though - back to 4464 here.
