- Hi everybody,
Welcome to this months edition of Lawrie Goes Loco. We're heading back to the 2 foot gauge Old Kiln Light Railway in the Museum of Rural life to drive one of the mainstays of their operational fleet.
If you like what you've seen and want more information on the Old Kiln Light Railway - or you're interested in joining the society, have a look at their website:

A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter. Glad to be asked back the OKLR
Matt - Cameraman. Not entirely sure how Lawrie got him to film more trains.
Note: For the sequence when Lawrie is speaking to the camera, there are no members of the public on board the train.

RUclips randomly recommended this channel to me and I think its the first time youtube has recommended something I actually like.
Glad to be one of the first! Hope you continue to enjoy what we do!
look at the planet please! im absolutly loving this series
I'll try and arrange it! Glad you're enjoying the series!
@@lmm thank you!!!!
nice to see such a modern narrow gauge loco
Glad you enjoyed it - it's quite pleasant. I personally prefer older things, they're more quirky!
@@lmm yeah more character
Yeah, that's what I like.
Though if I had to spend time driving one day in and out, I'd take the newer option 😂
I think a Planet review (NG and SG) would be great ideas.
How about coming to Scarborough and having ago on Neptune, the oldest Diesel Hydraulic (steam outline) locomotive....? Or perhaps on Georgina, the North Bay Railway's youngest locomotive, which is a Bagnall Sipat design?
I'm working on planet on both gauges, so hopefully that'll happen soon.
I would be so up for both of these!
Drop me an email at lawrie@lawriesmechanicalmarvels.com and we can see about making it happen!
Is Georgina the one that’s now at the PRCLT now?
@@Living_Life_RN yes, she's part of the PRCLT at the West Shed, alongside the 2 Princess Royal look-alikes that were built for Butlins. She's had to be regauged from 20" to 21" for that, though. They're looking after her well.
I just tripped over one of your videos and subscribed! Excellent content and I love the small loco’s! 🚂
Thank you very much, what a fortunate stumble!
Awww! Such a cute little loco! And it looks so easy to drive! I wish I could drive engines. But I'm only 13. I guess nothing a little wait and a bit of engine studies won't hurt!
All in good time! Keep the enthusiasm, and see if any railways near you have a youth group so you can get involved!
Seriously enjoying your driving of all things narrow gauge and industrial...an area oft neglected by train buffs who concentrate on BIG engines, fast engines and mainline trains...
Many of the HUNSLET machines in Australia are also very, very "snug". Often requiring exit from the cab in order to change your mind.
Really glad you're enjoying what we do, there are plenty of larger locomotives I'd really like to have a go with.
The smaller engines are often the more interesting.
Thanks again for the video. Would like to see the other two engines too. Thanks again enjoyed it. James from Texas.
Hopefully we can return and show some of them!
Awww... What little cuties - especially in those bright colours. But heaven knows what the squaddies got up to in 'em!
You probably don't want to know, nothing is squaddie-proof. Absolutely nothing...
They're quite attractive locos! And I suppose the less said about that the better!
Love it. I used to take all the apprentices from Hunslet engineering work shops to Saturday amateur league football. Each team would be based in a pub. There would be a dozen busses all parked up out side all the different pubs along that road. Shame it's all gone. I wonder what all those engineers are all doing now. Thanks. Great videos.
That's a super bit of history!
Yeah, I wonder too...
Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying what we do!
It takes some doing to be chucked out of the USA for being " Undesirable ", but you, Clovis, my old mucker, have managed it‼️ Honestly, I'm so proud of you. I've got pride in my heart and a tear in my eye‼️🧐🧐🧐
Oh yes, I'm not even sure if they'll have me back!
@@lmm Have you back⁉️ Donald Trump is building a wall purely to keep you out‼️ 🤣🤣🤣
I'll just not come via Mexico. But don't tell him that!
@@lmm Donald and I aren't on speaking terms, so you can relax on that score. However, as you're now persona non grata in the USA, you can only enter illegally. That means joining all those pesky " drug dealers, murderers, rapists, etc. etc. " coming in via Mexico. Mind you, why anybody would want to go to the USA in the first place is completely beyond me‼️🤔🤔🤔
They do a mean burger over here 😂
There’s actually a few more of those about. I’ve seen one at Statfold Barn and one at the Golden Valley Light Railway this year.
Yeah, they get all over
Just seen you on TV on Yorkshire steam railway nice one
Thanks! That was great fun.
G'Day Lawrie,
Just found your channel and love the Narrow gauge reviews and all the other crazy stuff you guys get up to! I see it's 15k sub's now !! Your production quality has gone up a notch and I predict , with your great personality and classic British humour, that there may be big things for you in the future???....Look out Mr Portillo..LOL.
Great stuff guys and keep up the good work.
Cheers Gregg.
Thank you very much! We hope things will continue to grow, it's all really exciting!
Glad you're enjoying what we do!
It was good to see you on train
Thank you
Your welcome I love steam train
We have the same 3 cylinder Perkins that this hunslet has. It came out of a brake wagon though, and is a bit newer. They are excellent little engines, start first time every time. Just one thing to note. They are quite loud when at full RPM........
I didn't take it that far, but I'll believe you!
Could do a tour of the old kilm railway
That's a good idea - we'll look at doing visits to railway in the future.
Another few inches on the back of the cab and that would be a perfect loco for anyone who isn't an oompa loompa. I like your loco videos as much as your road going vehicle ones, the loco's all seem to work though which must make a refreshing change for you 😜😂
Yeah, that's all it really needs - though small cabs are frequently just a given on the narrow guage.
Glad you're enjoying the videos!
It's strange - when I'm not involved in looking after the vehicle they work!
@@lmm Haha! Its the same with me and home decorating, when its someone else's it looks finished....mine never does!!
The videos are class because I never know what I'm going to see next so thanks for that.
I'm glad you're enjoying it - it's a good variety of stuff that appeals to me.
My friends have started to coin the phrase 'that's a Lawrie vehicle' when they see something that appeals to me.
Hahahaha I know that feeling well!
Emmet's lurking in the shed! Totally should do a video on that! :-)
All being well its in the pipeline!
@@lmm Fantastic! Remember it running at Woody Bay many many moons ago now.
I'd like to see a review of a (steam) Quarry Hunslet if we're doing narrow gauge. They're cute wee things.
I'm working on it, hopefully next year that'll happen!
Great its Thursday - more loco fun
Glad to hear you're enjoying the content!
How did you happen to come upon your decision to get into railways. Enjoy your series. Make a good addition to talk about how it all began. Love to hear about it
I think I've talked about that in the 25k special, it's one of the questions I got asked.
But basically for as long as I can remember I've loved railways.
Kinda want to see the planet based on its name alone
We'll get back down there and see what we can do!
@@lmmWhatever you do, Clovis, don't let them see Uranus‼️
Been by the oklr. Many times on the main line. Rather be driving a hunslet than a 377 any day!! I'll have to pay them a visit
The Hunslet is really lovely, simple and easy. 377's really do leave ne cold, what are they like to drive?
Do pop in, they're a really friendly society, with some great locos.
wondering where the line goes that is gated off.... love your videos.. you should look into heading to the states or someplace that has geeared steam locomotives... would love to see you thoughts on them,
The line heads off to an old timber yard which is part of the museum.
I would love to have a go on a geared locomotive. That would be awesome!
I think it would be nice to see the rh&dr on the channel if they aren't already on it
I'd really like to go and have a drive down there!
blue one has my favorite number, 36!
Good choice then!
I would like to see u fly in the flying scotsman.
Me too!
I would say until the advent of advanced AC drive no other diesel locomotives were as precisely controllable as a diesel-hydraulic.
Diesel hydraulic are very controllable, but things like my 48 are exceptionally controllable too
On the fireproofed version that I’ve driven, the handbrake is a wheel, not a lever. Fortunately it’s fitted with air brakes so it’s only really used for parking.
Oh really?
Do a colab. And the RHDR would be interesting to see.
Is there trains that look more comfortable in the cab also really weird odd trains you could look at
You should go to the Ratty or the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch
Hoping to do something with the Ratty in the not too distant future!
Those hunslets are the lowest spec of the 1980's mod narrow gauge! The baguleys are bigger but still crude. The RAF Barclays ( the last narrow gauge loco s that the mod used) have every extra on the option list. Air operated sanding gear with built in sand dryers. Independent mounted cab. A vortex exhaust system so no heat leaves the system. Electronic operated 2 speed gear box. And that's just the start of the features! PS all five are currently at the bredgar and wormshill.
I seem to have reviewed the budget version then!
I'd love to get over to Bredgar at some point!
One word. SHITE
Did 15 years on proper trains ( slam doors) then another 15 on 377s. Awful uncomfortable cold. No visibility and totally divorced from " driving". Retired early, don't miss it one bit. Firing 6233 in October. Looking forward to that!
It's funny, I was anticipating words to that effect. I don't really like anything modern on the network, especially the d/emus.
Oh you jammy git! I am so very jealous.
I've fired 60163, that's almost as good right?
Would you please drive a BR 52 (krieglokomotief) that would be great
Suggest either Mid-Norfolk light railway or Bressingham Steam Museum with their quarry hunslets?
We're talking to the Yaxham Light Railway, hopefully that'll happen in the not too distant future, and we'll try for Bressingham!
@@lmm - speak to T.J. of WWLR? He works at Bressingham.
That's a good idea. Hoping to get some filming done at WWLR soon too!
Please review the NGG 16s on the welsh highland railway at some point , the power of the garratts is amazing!
I've had a ride on one before, its really quite awesome. The boiler is the size of some shunting locos I've crewed!
I'll see see what I can do - might have to wait for the channel to grow some more first though!
Hey Lawrie there sweet little engllines they look like they will stand the test off time
They're pretty well built, and have got a good few years head start on alot of stuff I've driven on the narrow guage.
@@lmm yh m8 I can see u owning one off them engines it suit u sir
Maybe one day I'll aquire something on the narrow guage. For now I'm quite happy with my 48 😂
Hmmmm, if I do build a railway on Orkney island I may buy this or one of its 2 sisters as a shunter
That sounds a fantastic idea!
I'll be up for a review when it happens 😂
@@lmm you'll be welcome anytime
I wanna go to UK to learn how to drive these & the steam trains
water? in radiator? heh usually theres radiator fluid in there
do it have a horn?
Could you try a American General Electric Locomotive
Lawrie come to victoria Australia and drive at the mornington railway
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the Mod Coms (?) that you mention in the video? Thanks.
Heater, windscreen wipers, cushioned seat, internal lights, dash lights, opening windows.
You'd be amazed how often you don't get these things on the narrow guage
You should do a s-160 or s-100 review
I'd love to
Why not Visit the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to see what they uses for motive power in Steam and Diesel locomotives
It's a lovely railway, I've visited many times.
Might need to get a bit bigger before they'll let me review something though!
@@lmm
Fair point Lawrie as they are a big railway compared to the MSLR
Oh yes, totally different operation!
Would like to see mining locomotives
There's something in the pipework that you'll probably enjoy.
you should drive the flying scotsman
Maybe one day if we get big enough, I really would like to.
Pretty sure those a Malcom Moore locos
You should come to Aus
I'd like to!
Hi again, I noticed that you had a brakeman on the last car, not brakes for the train?
It was both rules of the railway to have a guard, and yes, unfitted train.
It was both rules of the railway to have a guard, and yes, unfitted train.
Are they still building them because I need one
No, but I know of similar things for sale.
Ok thanks
If you needed to get to the underside of a narrowgauge how would you do it?
I've seen a few places have very narrow pits or at least raised rails.
Failing that you have to lift the thing!
i think you should drive a big diesel locomotive or a class 08 locomotive
I'm working on both these things!
@@lmm cool by any chance can you mention me in your next video please
Kinda too bad you couldn't take all three just for the giggle. I would love to see you run a train with Multiple-unit train control to show what that looks like.
That would have been fun 😂
Nice things. Very nice to drive.
Try and drive a terrier, ivatt, Hunslet steam locomotive and saddle tank locomotive
I really want to do all of these. Questions are starting to be asked, so we'll see!
Where about is the NG, and what part of the world is it ?
This is the Old Kiln Light Railway, at the museum of Rural Life in Surrey, England.
It's really lovely!
I want to see the planet. Go back and do the planet 😂
It is on the todo list!
Can you do a jinty if possible
If Great Central would let me have a go on theirs I'd be over the moon.
I've fired it and it's a delight!
That's a shame
But try
I'll see what I can do. Channel is growing, so it's getting more possible!
Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels ok thanks nice Chatting to you
I want to see the planet
Me too. It's in the pipeline
I dare say the MoD managed to blow a few of them up being as they were on a firing range, because it is, well, the MoD. Being as they were originally MoD units I imagine they were ordered to be as idiot-proof as possible, though everyone knows that nothing is squaddie-proof...
I tend to agree with you on the second point, I guess they weren't blown up (purposely) as they're both required to run the railway and expensive.
I can imagine whatever these replaced could have met an explosive fate...
@@lmm I suspect anyone who has worked in that area of the military probably has plenty of tales of things that weren't supposed to go bang going bang, heaven knows there were plenty of them in the Navy lol...
Hahahah, yes I'm sure that's the case. There must be some good stories out there somewhere 😂
@@lmm Oh yes, especially with the army. NOTHING is squaddie-proof...
Hahaha, I can quite believe it!
i have 2 ideas for engines you should try to drive you should either try to drive our union pacific big boy or the flying Scotsman
They're both things I'd love to drive
@@lmm however the union pacific big boy takes a lot longer to prep but you don't have to worry about burning coal on the big boy
The cab could be a bit wider
It's fine for one person.
It's cosy!
Hi can u do a video on your locomotive
Heya, yes it's in the pipeline, just need a nice day on it to complete filming!
Ok
Try and drive the rpsi resident n.o85 you will love her if you don’t know what she is search her on google
I'd certainly like to have a go!
She is a beautiful engine just so you know she is in whitehead in Northern Ireland
I've not managed to see her in the flesh yet - saw 461 is it? The 2 6 0
No she is a 4-4-0 she is brilliant she is blue too
No, I mean I've seen number 461, which is the 2 6 0!
I'd love to drive number 85, channel might have to grow a bit first though 😂
Let's see you try your hand on a steamer! If diesels come this easily to you it sounds like you need a challenge. *edit: referring to episode 6 now, i retract the previous statement
Hahahah, I was going to say, please see the rest of the series! Hope you enjoy it!
@@lmm I truly am enjoying it. I look forward to more, I finished it yesterday! I wish we had more small stuff like you seem to enjoy here in the states. I did, at one point, volunteer with a 3 foot gauge railroad in New Jersey... oddly enough, they have an Irish narrow gauge steamer from the Cavan and Leitrim, the "Lady Edith". Such a beautiful engine, but it seems the boiler and firebox need serious work they can't handle, plus they're made of copper. Here in the states, licenses for big copper boiler work are minimal, if they exist at all. The inspector didn't even know where to begin. Seems they no longer are able to reach the contact at C&L to continue plans to ship it back over the lake, too. Now she just sits... if only I had lots of money...
That's a real shame. I didn't realise that was the case for copper with you guys.
All steam engines need a load of money unfortunately.
Needs steam. Not a railway without steam
There are steam engines there - Pamela needs work, but Emmet is now running.
Drive mallard and flying scotsman in one vid
Mallard is very unlikely as its not in working order and is unlikely to return to steam. Flying Scotsman does at least work, but we'd have to get alot bigger as a channel first.
that was a set up that guy is not owner of the truck
That's most correct. He is not.
Drive a full size steam locomotive
Have a look through the other episodes of the series!
Anything industrial
Industrials are awesome!
Hihi I'm first!
Excellent thanks for sharing.
Good going sir!
Congratulations‼️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That creepy guy riding on the end of that car though...
What, the guard?
See if you can drive a Deltic!
Oh I would absolutely love to drive a Deltic. They're magnificent beasties!
