- Footage taken during a visit to the Fawley Hill Railway in May 2023. The railway belonged to the late Sir William McAlpine, and runs in the grounds of his estate near Henley-on-Thames.
We arrived just as ex-BR Class 03 D2120 is shunted out of the station, to make way for the Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST. Interestingly, the Hudswell Clarke had turned a 110 years old, having been built in 1913. As can be seen, it still puts in a good days work hauling stock up one of the steepest railway inclines in the UK, at 1 in 13.
Lastly, a trip from the station and back is filmed from the preserved ZUV 'Shark' ballast brake van, with the Hudswell Clarke as traction.
How did you get an entry or is it open every day?
I went as part of a group on an organised visit. The place is only open on select days during the summer months, be worth checking their website.
@@SWT442 okay, thanks for getting back to me.
