Well, it's not quite 500 miles, but it's a beautiful story and one of Scotland's few narrow gauge lines - specifically one of the three that are 2ft gauge (of which one is Shed 47 Lathalmond near Dunfermline, and the other is the Leadhills and Wanlockhead), and I'm so glad the community is pitching in to reopen the line!
I don't mind these steam outline pleasure locos so much. It's certainly kind of oddball as a loco design, but it does the job and I suppose if you are very young, this little engine has a little magic of its own, and will do just fine to take you for a ride!
There was a small railway at Toms holiday park in Hayle, Cornwall,it had a Hymek diesel loco and run round the park,,from the pictures I have seen, so pleased this railway is on the way to being operated again…
Im currently watching the restoration of a main branch line in my town. Closed by the Beeching cuts but should be open again in 3 years. Seeing the lines cleared and vans, surveyors, workers, etc, around the tracks is incredible. I go away a lot for work and each time I come home it looks more and more like a proper railway.
I like the Reliant Regal seen at the beginning of this video. I had a Supervan 3 in the early 1980's which I ran on a motor cycle license and taught myself to drive
@LewiBuchProductions thought it looked odd for a Robin though in all honesty my only experience with Reliant is a certain motoring show with three fellows mucking about usually with the Reliant either flipping over or exploding.
great video Lawrie! to think I have helped with that effort and still am, it's nice to see that you were having fun on your favourite loco🤣 we are now the full way along the line and I will make sure on your next visit to get a full run on your favourite loco along the line🤣 loved all the little peekaboos from Neil in the background. you may be a distance away but all the help the line can get the better! They may of mentioned the line once apon a time went further. after the line is restored I believe the plan is to go back to where the line once apon a time went
Hi Lawrie, thanks for sharing this, it's always good to see a preserved railway in my home territory, about the turntable, back in G.N.S.R. days the trains were hauled by 4.4.0 locos, using a special 4wheel tender, as the standard 6 wheel tenders made the locos too long, after the grouping, J36s and J72s were often used, the passenger service ended in the 1950s before Beeching, but freight continued into the 1960s, anyway, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
Just donated for a sleeper! I'm so excited to see this railway come back to life! I hope when I'm able to travel to the UK I'll be able to swing by and check out the railway!
Great video, can't believe it's been that long since the discovery video of this railway. Very nice to see work on it and a hopeful return to service for the line.
This is super amazing the railway is coming back together again it's probably going to look super beautiful when it's all finished keep making videos you have an awesome channel I really like
@@theenigmaticst7572 really how bad is that piece of I remember seeing the one video where the curve was really bad but with the narrow gauge I would think I could get around that tide of a curve
@@GarrettTaylorLeedy Yeah it's a doozy - I was impressed that their steam loco could get around it, but that's the beauty of narrow gauge - it can get around some really tight curves (albeit very slowly and carefully)!

Nice video - thanks. I think that Saccharine which you crewed at the Statfold Barn enthusiast day originally belonged to the AVR - I remember the AVR steam days on high days and holidays 30 or so years ago with the steam loco called Saccharine although it was painted green in those days. I've sponsored a sleeper 👍 😁
I thought that steam outline diesel locomotives were required by law to have side rods at least. You look like you are quite happy to be driving it. Your relief and surprise after it started were priceless. Your day with the steam outline without side rods did have a silver lining. Everything worked and worked quite well. The owner of this locomotive in the past must have been quite unique as a human being because he kept the locomotive in tip top shape while losing money on the railroad. Looking forward to a video of you operating this locomotive over the reconstituted railway. Great video.
One thing I seen you and some say is the most important thing you forgot to check during your once over. Here in America is the very first thing we check and worked for a company where i checked and drove locomotives as well as track mobiles. It’s the most important… the power steering fluid. First time checking out your video and you sir have earned yourself a subscription. Hope my joke didn’t annoy you much. Go d bless and much support.
I didn't like this loco too, however, it will make a massive contibution to get the railway running. Checking the points, moving the trucks to where needed, hauling sleepers etc. Teaching the members how to drive, I LOVE IT 🙂I done all this while working on the Swansea Vale Railway.
I did notice the black screen flickering before you spun to change in your driver uniform and the colour sort of changed whilst you were talking about the abandoned railway coming back to life and before you started the loco’s engine but a very good video, keep up the good work Lawrie’s Mechanic Marvels
Whoohoo. I am so glad I found this video. I am also glad that I trusted you when you told me they had been working on reopening Alford Valley. Looks like they've called in an army. And starting the engne... I think I woke the neighbours. :D
Having seen the original exploration, it is wonderful to see the progress being made. I first saw a Simplex with a body on the Lincolnshire Coast light railway in Cleethorpes. This has closed but all the kit was moved to Skegness where it still runs.
Just a little tip, if you crank a car or train or tractor, dont put your thumb around the handle, if you have a backlash you will brake your thumb...only a tip, love the video...
Wonderful video Lawrie. Well done on starting the locomotive. When I saw the crank handle, I thought foreshadowing given the issues you had with the standard gauge loco
Great video Lawrie, it was great to see the progress that has been made. It was great fun seeing you driving the engine you didn't like but then like it whilst you were driving it.😊😊
Being originally from Aberdeenshire I'm quite happy to see this line coming back to life. I sent them a donation not so long ago to help support the rebuilding.
Good to see it running again . If I lived in the U K I would be there all the time getting it up and running. Very good vedio I really enjoy your vedios . Thank yiu
This railway was on one of there first videos on your channel I watched. Had wonder if it was getting somewhere? Answer yes! I hope they can get it back to some order? Great to see it running!
I am on the crew of a two foot gauge railroad at the Fun Farm/Pumpkin Patch in Kearney, Missouri USA. While there are 4 Crown steam locomotives the one that is most often used is a steam outline Chance Manufacturing 4-2-4T C.P. Huntington design. We much prefer running steam but I just spent the last three days running the steam outline locomotive around the Farm. I can feel the frustration with being stuck with this locomotive. Oh well, it's still a railway and that's where the fun is...
Well nice to see that little railroad coming back from being claimed by nature. Surprisingly this is not the first will it start/ will it run video I've seen done on a locomotive though it does have the distinction of perhaps being the easiest and actually having more track than just what's needed to keep the locomotive from sinking into the ground and can actually be moved a bit once it's running.
You should come to New Jersey, we have hundreds of abandoned railroads, with plenty of history and in tact structures. Most of the railroads here are from the 1800s, with stations, old crossings, tunnels, and bridges.
Oh come now, it's amazing the thing started and ran as nice as it did after all the things you said to it! Perhaps it likes you... I think it's adorable, for what it is. I don't live in the UK but if I did I'd gladly apply for acting as its regular driver!
Great video update, congratulations to the AVCR who are getting a lot done with more & more volunteers, unlike other railways who manage to scare off volunteers for good. Interesting to see the Brigadoon-Frankenstein loco working, hopefully they will rebuild it in a more pleasing style without all the cheesy ‘Och aye the noo’ references. And hopefully the garish livery will bite the dust!
The judge says "does the plaintiff's counsel have anything to say in the 'locomotive' s defence?" "well it does have flanged wheels, and runs on rails m'lord." 8^) Just kidding, it was a fun video. Good luck to the AVCR . Thanks and cheers!
I'm surprised, this one is actually one of the better faux steam engines you've looked at. Odd that it has a bell though. On American locomotives it's required, I guess on this one it's just for show. I do like the fact they've actually fitted an air whistle as opposed to just a horn. Short of the engine sound, they've actually done a pretty good job making it look kind of like a steam engine.
I really enjoy your railway videos, great work! I would love to see this railway running again, but being in North American I probably won’t ever be able to visit it. Also, was there a glitch at 2:44, or is that just on my end? Edit: The glitch happened for me again at 12:05.
It will do 100mph down hill with a good stong wind and heavy load behind it. I don't think being on the footplate during that attempt will be wise. No one else has noticed it looks very similar to Ivor the engine.
Hmm, while I would agree that a full-on steam locomotive is still better, one of these does look kind of cool, I could imagine adding a set of heavy duty fog machines to create better steam effects(both from the stack and from the cylinders) and then all you'd have to do is dub the sound of an an actual steam locomotive in during post production, it would be a pretty good movie prop.
There are 2 things wrong with that locomotive, one is that the radiator is not getting enough air to it to do much good, cause if you look at regular cars and trucks they have what's called a grill the runs air to the radiator to help keep it cool and also you don't put straight water in the radiator, you put mix of water and antifreeze in there so the engine and block and all of that won't crack and all when it freezes

What's it like working on the north western railway?
As an engine of the NWR (no.743 'Jacque Marsh'), I can confirm that the railway is still around only because the cops legally can't shut it down.
Well, it's not quite 500 miles, but it's a beautiful story and one of Scotland's few narrow gauge lines - specifically one of the three that are 2ft gauge (of which one is Shed 47 Lathalmond near Dunfermline, and the other is the Leadhills and Wanlockhead), and I'm so glad the community is pitching in to reopen the line!
