I had forgotten this, thank you. On re-watching, at (9:14) there is a still from the Cadeby Light Railway and you can see that an official notice is signed by the Rev E R Boston. There's a Wikipedia article about Edwin Boston, and another about the Cadeby Light Railway, which had no less than THIRTEEN locomotives -- quite amazing when you consider it was in Teddy Boston's back garden!
The loco was at Cadeby but belonged to the late John Lucas, not Teddy. John owned several industrial diesels and they were stored at Cadeby. When Cadeby closed, his collection went to Apedale. I was only a wee nipper but I never saw this loco running at Cadeby. I don't know that it was ever brought up to operating condition until arrival at Apedale.
Just to say your camera picks up a seized chain link. Suggest they split the chain, wash it out, wire brush the rust off and free it up....then bake in link life or similar before it gets badgered completely. Hope this helps the owners
Hay Lawrie thank you for putting out these great videos. I have just started my first day volunteering at the steam shed helping restore steam traction engines. ❤
Note to viewers, check your local heritage/museum/tourist railways as well, many have driving and footplate packages. Including many over here in America!
Foxfield is a lovely little railway have visited several times Yep never heard of Hudswell narrow locomotive love the story why it has a steam chimney it just makes it look right As always great to see your enthusiasm
Great video, adorable and awesome little loco! I'll be honest, this is the first time I've heard "lump" being used to describe an engine (I don't live in a natively English speaking country), but apparently, that term is indeed "slang" for engine...I learned something new today! Thanks!
I love the look of these early narrow gauge diesel locomotives with the funnel/chimney style exhaust outlet. I saw some interesting narrow gauge loco's last Saturday, as I visited Dublin and the Guinness Brewery Tour. They have two of their narrow gauge locomotives that once ran on the extensive narrow gauge railway they had around the factory (the track is still in place in some parts). One was a Planet diesel locomotive and the other one was an interesting Avonside steam locomotive (Irish built one) with a very interesting designed motion and cylinder arrangement.
Great video! Hopefully the Apedale Light railway will offer one of their steam locos to be reviewed in the future as well. You're my engineering inspiration
Making you crank the Hudswell into life... After seeing you on the verge of a heart attack trying to start 'Sweet Pea' at the Middleton Railway I was sure that it was not going to end well.
I can't un-see the face the Clarke has: The front windows as the eyes, the grill as the nose/enormes mustash, and the slot to couple-up to wagons as the mouth
Now you see, I did actually know of her! (Cause I'm that kinda nerd :P) And I sorta knew the early history with being built in '29, then a few years later sent out with different dated plates (though what I read on it was more definitive on it being a demonstrator - guess different sources have different takes which leads to the "we dunno" about it?) Grand video though. Wonder if there's anywhere it could be taken up to full chat!
Lovely video lawrie! I would like to point out a slight error however! D558 is not the first purpose built narrow gauge diesel for the market, rather it is Kerr Stuart 4415 of 1927, which was the prototype for their “60HP” model, all of which were built in the same decade.
Fantastic video as always. But 2 points..... Surprised you didn't "kill the cat" ( as in curiousity killing the cat) and went for 2nd gear lol.... And my 2nd point is about the wagons used..... Am I the only one who can see myself sitting in the wagons? But furthermore have them padded then find an embankment somewhere along the line and have a large wide well supported stainless steel sheet to slide down into a massive pool pit or foam pit. The same steel as kids playground slides. Imagine that as a unique tourist attraction for a railway.... Ride the rails as a commodity the railways used to move and then dumped out. Supervised and obviously well ruled. I mean if adults and kids can slide down a mountain on a rubber ring on a ski slope surface into a ball pool cage then a 10ft slide down into one should be ok. But I digress. Again thanks for the video and look forward to more
As someone who used to overhaul Dorman 5LB engines used in 10ton rail cranes while working for BR and went on to work for a Dorman agent I beg to differ. Actually loved em both.
The remains of the earliest danish oil engine powered lokomotive (a narrovgauge loko)made in 1906 for the jerup-bratten soil improvement railway by engine factory alpha is also sort of forgotten what remains is the empty body but nobody wants to put a engine and reconstruct the frame on a big shame
@@ukaszwalczak1154 apparently youtube removed link but go to Google and search Houmøller lokomotiv there will be a Danish language site called Bents baner.....here you will find pictures of the survivor and a lot of history around the alpha/Houmøller lokomotiver
Here's a video of the former Cadeby railway, the Hudswell Clarke can be seen once or twice: ruclips.net/video/6xgCRrLx2b8/видео.htmlsi=wGrnRb8K5kicNsam I'm not sure it was ever operational there? Rescued from scrap, languished at Cadeby for years, restored at Apedale. The owner was the late John Lucas who stored several industrial diesels at Cadeby. These later went to Apedale when Cadeby closed. Cadeby was Teddy Boston's railway but most diesels there actually belonged to John. John, tall with dark hair, can be seen driving 'Pixie' in this video.
As someone who's Polish, i joke about the PKP being ass-backwards, i do, but even then, atleast we use our locos for as long as they can work instead of scrapping them because 'we could afford to'.

Ah, some light entertainment for the evening. Thank you Lawrie and the team 😊
That engine is a work of art
In Buxton the "w" is silent in "BESWICKS"

19:50 lawrie is getting good at these hand starts lol. Imagine trying to hand start a deltic 😂
Think the little dumper at the shed has gave him alot of practice.

Seeing all the smoke coming out of the funnel to me says why it needs to have a funnel like a steam engines.
Making you crank the Hudswell into life... After seeing you on the verge of a heart attack trying to start 'Sweet Pea' at the Middleton Railway I was sure that it was not going to end well.
a few of these also went to New Zealand
It looks abit reconstructed to me especially the cabin 😊
Hello from Malta!
Cracking little loco - but I do wonder what the original engine would have been like?
you should come to the valley Railway adventure in evesham on the 13/14th July for there gala
THE THOMAS CONNECTION, Teddy Boston's Railway!
That gearbox is just like on a Lister if youve ever driven one of those, theyre great fun.
Has anyone ever heard of Vlad at the corris railway powered by an air coold v8
Video of that to come at some point
That engine sounds absolutely glorious, great video as usual!
I like to think they had the chimneys for maybe a cancelled order, then someone went that’ll do
That could be it
Will you make a dvd series of lawrie goes loco
I can't un-see the face the Clarke has: The front windows as the eyes, the grill as the nose/enormes mustash, and the slot to couple-up to wagons as the mouth

4415 is currently preserved at the Ffestiniog Railway, and being restored to how it looked when built.
My bad, it was 1928 not 1927
You'll have to take that up with them!
I'm just going off what I'm told
It's the first Hudswell diesel, not the first diesel
Arguably KS 4415 wasn't built for the UK market though. True, it was demonstrated on the FR/WHR, but it and its sisters were all sold for export.
Go on, fang it for us bruv!

Lawrie should go to Baggeridge miniature railway
I have changed accounts now but I think it would make a good episode of Lawrie goes a little loco
You did a thing in our school yesterday
Happy to see you pass 100k
*I waited for you to drive it at full speed.*
Starting to be a regular visitor to North Staffordshire aren't you?😊
It’s a fun place to be!
Lawrie,Could you do a Lawrie goes loco on a garratt or a double fairlie
What would the third person have done during hand starting? Stand in the cab and carry the responsibility?
Did I hear that right? They went from McLaren engines to Dorman ones? What a downgrade XD
As someone who used to overhaul Dorman 5LB engines used in 10ton rail cranes while working for BR and went on to work for a Dorman agent I beg to differ.
Actually loved em both.
Not the same McLaren as the F1 team.
...today I learned there was a McLaren before Bruce.
It used to have a McLaren engine? Presumably the one that Fernando Alonso always called an "F2 engine"
Started much easier than Courage at least

what happend to the eletric start did the key not work

Kerr, Stuart 4415 was built in 1928 and worked in the UK before export...?
Currently doesn't have an engine in it, it's restored but only externally, they're testing out an engine for it, if i remember correctly.
Hey Lawrie do you want to have a Swedish S1 class on Lawrie goes loco. Cause if so i think I can arrange that.
Would love to
There’s only one of them in the UK in somebody’s garden 🤔
@@willcoleman9691yeah. But the other 4 preserved are operational and I can probably arrange for him do drive one of them if he comes to Sweden.
@@lmmI’ll see if it can be arranged.
Where to next Lawrie?
I think it’s ridiculously absurd to have so many locos that they could probably lay out all their locos end to end and fill the length of their track.
Apedale is like Leighton Buzzard - loco collections with railways attached.
That Hudswell diesel would look better in a maroon colour. It's not a Ferrari.
lol
me... me want to drive steam engine!
What happened to matt?
So diesels with chimneys = good, steam outline = bad 🤔
One has the steam-loco style funnel cuz it needed one, the other is a mere f a k e r .
Far superior to the Eastern European locos you see still being used.
As someone who's Polish, i joke about the PKP being ass-backwards, i do, but even then, atleast we use our locos for as long as they can work instead of scrapping them because 'we could afford to'.
