- A Visit To Urmston And District Model Engineering Society. A good place to see, but not very busy owing to the Pandemic, but nevertheless I enjoyed meeting the people there at the time, and even had a drive on Billy Stock's superb locomotive............................................................. / keithappleton

Thanks kieth for another great video greetings from wexford Ireland
There is a video of the Baltic we bought from Simon going around this track, before it got the beautiful paintwork it has now! That's a beautiful Lion, my friend Nick Guzman has got one that rides on the odd 4.75" gauge of America. Glad to see you having fun.
Hi Alex, I am generally enjoying life these days, plenty to keep my mind occupied. I hope you are doing the same in these dark days. I am looking forward to seeing you again sometime after the Pestilence }:-)))
@@keithappleton I am glad to hear that and Absolutely.
A real pleasure to watch, Keith. Thank you for posting it here. I one of our fires here in California a number of 1/3 scale steam locomotives were lost, along with some other cars, the roundhouse, and some buildings of the Swanton Pacific Railroad.
Watching the action at Urmston restored spirits.
{:-(((
Wow that was amazing the locomotives were stunning especially the one built by the young gentleman billy such craftsmanship I go on holiday to hemsby in Norfolk to a bungalow site and they have the same tracks and on a Tuesday and Thursday and I think Sunday the gentlemen who own the narrow gauge locos are on site and they have some stunning machines I have spent a few hours watching them repair and get them up to steam pressure it’s fascinating brings back memories of when my children were younger and we use to spend the mornings on holiday going round and round on the different locos thanks for sharing Keith stay safe all the best
Billy Stock is a very talented engineer . . . .
Very well done, due to the Pandemic most of tracks around here have stopped running and are members only no guests.
I remember going there when they ran their week of steam each year, coming up from the south with my terrier, and my ex loco driver mate with his 5 inch schools, we had a wonderful time
Really enjoyed that.
That looked like a great day out and it’s great to see people who are happy to talk about their hobby.
What a terrific place...and some great locos...I do like the look of your Lion!
That looks like a lovely new engine for you Keith. Some very nice engines there also.
Great video! Thanks Keith
I really enjoyed that, thanks. I shall have to have a bimble round there one of these days! :)
The videography was better than I was expecting and you managed to get some interesting shots, the commentary really helps and seeing some details of the fine engineering shows that I missed a good event, I wish I could have been there.
I went to school in Urmston (Urmston Grammar for Boys), and seeing this brought back a few school-day memories :)
Something different from the workshop. Enjoyed immensely.
I wish we had tracks that guage in the US but pretty much all we got here is 7.5 inch guage whitch makes geying into live steam quit expensive
Keith great looking video! Can’t wait to see more of the lion locomotive. Warm regards
More to come {:-)))
To: Mr. A.E. Karnes, in response to your comment about the "Odd..." American guage of 4 & 3/4" inches. This is 1:12th scale, that is 1" inch equals 1' foot. Commonly used by dollhouse modelers. Dollhouses are made of weather proof marine plywood. Then painted with durable polyethylene stains. Some have detailed interiors, with electric lights. They are popular for Christmas displays. With snow covered landscapes. Evoking the American style of the Victorian era of the 1880's Golden age.
It's good to see a young engineer enjoying the hobby! That layout is huge! The idea of elevating the track is a good one, but it must have been very expensive and time consuming to build.
Yes Billy is a very good engineer. The track is good to, I enjoyed my day there and hop to go back after the Pestilence goes away . . . .
Hi Keith I have a video of 9Fs double heading plus a couple of others including a duchess.
My local choo choo track👍.
⭐️😊👍
if only i had a garden that big with a track in it and a steam engine to run on it. i would do that very regularly. like several times a day. but i don't have a garden that size, nor a track, nor a steam engine that would be able to pul my weight around any track, at least, my little wilesco probably won't. im a reasonably sized man. just like yourself, that is... but if i ever win the lottery, and retire, and move house, and my wife agrees, and i survice this pandemic, and the economy still exists after that, and.... oh well, at least i can enjoy dreaming...
Hi Willem, I would recommend that you watch a TV programme called "The Secret". It is not 100% correct in my opinion based on my life experience thus far, but the basic principles of the power of positive thinking are contained within it. If you really want something that is necessary in your life, then focus your mind completely on getting it. (It won't work with the National Lottery")

"Lampwick" looks a beautiful little engine. I take it she's a side tank variant of a Kerr Stuart, given the look of valve gear. I see these miniture engines and it does make me low key want to get one of my own, but with so many other commitments right now, I don't think I'd be able to keep up. Top stuff Keith, looking forward to the Lion videos!
Important question though.. are you going to rename Lion to Thunderbolt? Also are you going to make a riding truck that looks like Dan's cabin?
Makes me want to build a steam engine :-)
I have been many times before from childhood and did meet my ex-girlfriend when did have Mayday Steam Weekends and show our Classic GPO Motorcycles
Might be cool to get a GoPro with a magnetic base and mount it to some cast iron parts.
I am working on it ...... }:-)))
There are two ways to get to Urmston ...
