Derby SMEE Combined

Ground level running at Derby SMEE, Morley, filmed by top bloke, Charlie Wood on 25/06/17. I am in the process of trying to create a more comfortable driving car for 3.5" driving. Turns out the carriages at Derby are more comfortable for me than either of the two purpose built lie down trolleys.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Thanks for the very nicely done video! Why are some of the engineers wearing masks?

Hi there and thanks. Charlie was the shooter and editor as written above - he is a lovely bloke and has done a nice job. Some was filmed by him tracking on a miniature HST he has built. Chris with the blue Sweet Pea is the only person remember seeing wearing a mask. Probably not a bad idea as steam locos issue a fine cloud of ash particles from the chimney when pulling. You can also see my head is in the exhaust steam cloud driving the American loco.

He suffers from asthma and it's aggravated by the smoke -- hence the mask to filter the particles out.
