Echills Wood Standard Gauge Rally 2018 in 4K HDR - 7 1/4 inch Gauge Live Steam Railway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2018
- This event is held every year and attracts visiting locomotives from across the country and occasionally from abroad. All locomotives and rolling stock operating over this weekend will be models based upon full size railways with a standard gauge of four foot eight and a half inches.
With an EWR gauge of 7.25" the models are 1/8th scale. Some of the steam locomotives have taken their owners many years to build and their detail has been painstakingly created to produce amazingly accurate replica steam engines or battery operated diesel engines. These are all models of locomotives that once steamed along the railway lines of the UK and other countries, including express trains, goods and parcel trains. Although the 1/8th scale of these standard gauge engines can make them look quite small do not be deceived by their size as most of them will happily pull four to six carriages carrying 20 plus people

1920s: riding a steam engine as a train
2018: riding steam engines like motorcycles
So many beautifully accurate models. Evening Star (both of them) and Duke Of Gloucester looking particularly incredible
I've learned to love American steamies.
This is an excellent production with high quality in all respects . Nearly as good as being there.
Brilliant footage from one of the best miniature railways!
2;48 and our friends with ONE of their Locomotives!
Lovely line and thank you for posting.
David and Lily.
You mean 2:48
All i can say is wow , got to go too this place .
Some truly beautiful pieces of miniature engineering on display there.
Love the 9F Evening Star, looks true to scale,
Very nice video. Lovely to see Evening Star and a Class 40 - although I am just young enough to remember the 9F's when they looked a lot more dilapidated than this - and there were still a few Class 40's in Green livery. Happy memories. Thanks for posting.
phantom 621 I'm pleased you liked the video and hopefully brought back fond memories.
That GWR 788 looks great.
Funny about them pushing at 10:45, i would have been at the event if not for terrible headache, only there for 30 minutes! Anyway looks like everyone had fun and that junior pushing is a friend of mine, his first time driving a steam engine and at least he learnt something!
Excellent film and coverage
Thanks for you kind comment BillycanKay.
Superb!
4467 "wild swan" a lovely 7.1/4 gage locomotive, all the detail and beauty of full size A4 steam engine.
Unfortunately it broke down Sunday
I can't remember what was wrong tho
Its time one of the media companies did a serious documentary covering the hobby of model engineering.
Just a recollection from my youth - I don't recall the A4s in service with red painted wheels. It was a continental affectation.
@roboftherock, when running under BR they had black wheels but before the grouping the LNER A4's did have red wheels when in Garter Blue. www.flickr.com/photos/barry_oxhey/22645468756
In the sales section, spot the lovely LMS 6233, all the detail and beauty of the newly restored Duchess of Sutherland
She's been sold now (by Little Western) and is now in America
That A4 around the 7 minute mark is beautiful cheers Dennis ps so many good looking engines, and the rail looks like an extrusion, at our track it's just flat bar on it's end, does the job though,,.
Ik shame it broke down on Sunday! We had to get the loco on my profile and a britannia to rescue it! The Brit to rescue coaches and diesel to put on Flatbed. I think the owner was a bit embarrassed
That's some heavy gauge rail!! A lot of nice models, I really loved the 61399 train. It wouldn't take much to turn it into the (Hogwarts Express)
8:32 44760 with a erapped whistle
An awful lot of slipping and stalling on that right hander in the trees with what sometimes look like ridiculously light loads for these excellent engines. Maybe they have a track alignment issue there for so many to slip in the same spot. Great locomotives. Credit to their builders.
We do have some steep gradients on our track, in fact, that is our steepest! We also had slippery track that day for some reason
Mark Turner a lot of the track was very greasy after a bit of running, some small engines bwere struggling light engine in spots
Slipping?
Narrow gauge tank: Hold my beer!
super materiał
Your quality is so high. Loved the drone footage🙂
Thank you 😀
That scale whistle on the B1. Lol.
Fantastic looking engines.. fun all day long there..Why do some of the engines have an issue on that bend?
That looks fun as f! :)
I like model trains
I love that aspinal a class
Lovely locos. What coal are you all using ?
Since then, I've driven the b1 at 0:44.
Nice to see an owner of an engine who likes bit of smoke. Was it housecoal?
need to get some sand down on that rail. not seen this much slippage in videos here before
Love the class 37 diesel I think it is. Anyone know if it's actually diesel powered or batteries.
I've recently read that one of those "Model Works International" Gresley LNER A4's in 7.25" Gauge sold at auction for £74,000.00! Are those actually worth that much?
I need those pullman cars they bootiful
10;30 and another friend makes an entrance!!!stage left!!!
Is it just me or is the front pony wheels not moving at 4:19 ?
George Young I don’t think they are moving
Jeez! That’s a lot of wheel slipping!
When I saw the big SP Mikado coming up with all the people loaded, I thought, "Alright, a big heavy brute coming along to lay down some traction!" Of course then it immediately stalls and spins with futility. Must have been some tough track out there.
It was extremely greasy that year. When I went back in 2019 it was nowhere near as slippy
So where does all this happen?
Echills Wood Railway Warwickshire
Where can you buy/build one of these?
Most are made from scratch. To but search 7 1/4 Scale locomotives on Google or search ebay
Firstly, i wouldnt buy from ebay. You dont know if the pictures are real and the loco could be in an awful condition. Some other comments say that you cannot buy one commercially but they are wrong. Look up maxitrak models, the make reasonably priced locomotives. Id reccomend joining your local model engineering club, they will tell you alot more than i can! If you want to build one, you can buy castings, but for a beginner a Polly Engineering kit would do great.
@tacfoley no, there are many companies that sell them.
10:47 looks like we ran out of steam oh well
Sam's trains thanks for watching, and running out of steam happens to the best of us.
Push Sam, Push. Was you driving by any chance 😉
Switch track for sale
Seems to be an awful lot of slipping going on. I wonder if the lack of rain means the track hasn't got cleaned up or if a loco early in the day was particularly oily?
Our track does have a few gradients and even powerful engines like the one on my profile can struggle on oily track!
5:41 James basis?
Your are correct James is based on the l&yr class 28
Sir, I want to buy, how much is this train?
Most likely more than you earn in a life time!
@@NathanChisholm041 A lil' harsh.
4:24 the front wheels🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The recording frame rate makes it look like the leading wheel are not spinning
