i am saying to my own mind how much you citizens up there in UK have respect, love & enthusiasm for your heritage- especially the steam locomotives is having an overwhelming welcome from the common citizens, i must deeply appreciate the promotors of this heritage railway to believe in their project that brings so much of cheer to specialised tourists that get so attracted to the steam like a living beast roaring & breathing with oneness & togetherness on a journey of nostalgia- some one said the the Sun never sets on the British Empire- its simply true because of this strong civic sense & appreciation of the people living in this great country- with warm regards Rahul
Thanks man - come and check out one of these places sometime, you'd be very welcome. There's 200 miles of railways like this so there's plenty to choose from! (May I suggest the Severn Valley Railway in Shropshire?)
Thank you for a superb set of four DVDs. Such a shame the series had to end prematurely. With all the cookery and antiques programme on UK television it is a pity that space couldn't be found for heritage lines. Well done for trying!
Hello I am Dujja from Pakistan. We used to have steam locomotive and sadly replaced by Diseal engines. Our rail way tracks laid by British engineers thanks to them. We are still using these tracks. I watched your program and like it very much. You both have delivered a great deal of information. I wish i could visit England and see these black steam engins. Thank you for sharing such nice videos. Regards
Awesome series of Video's pitty it didn't get the amount of subscribers needed to take off, however I think it would be different now with the advent of social media. The Internet is a lot different than it was in 2004!
I know you are referring to my mention of it but by implication you already think she is pretty yourself, and are attaching some importance to it. For example, if you did not think she was pretty, you would have no reason to be surprised that I left it out. But you were in fact surprised. Therefore you have shot yourself in the foot with your remark.
This is absolutely wonderful and it brings me great memories of steam locomotives. I have always wondered why and how the heavy puffs sound with lots of smoke coming out of the main chimney is made? Can anyone explain this to me? I would be grateful to know. Thank you so much.
What comes out of the chimney is a mixture of exhausted steam/water vapour from the cylinders (the puffs), and an amount of smoke/air from the fire in the firebox. The "puff" is caused by the exhaust valve in a cylinder releasing the steam at either end of its stroke, and the part you can see is water vapour, as steam is invisible. A steam locomotive will usually have two or three cylinders, and each will exhaust steam when it reaches either end of the stroke. The ferocity of the puff will vary based on how hard the locomotive is working, with the loudest being produced when the driver has the "reverser" fully forward/back (which means steam is allowed into each cylinder for a longer portion of its stroke, and hence is higher in pressure when it is released at the end of the stroke), and has the throttle (or "regulator") fully open. It is important for the exhaust steam to be piped into the smokebox (the black bit with the door at the front) and up the chimney (rather than just exhausting into the air from where the cylinders are) because this is one way in which the draught is pulled on the fire to make it hotter and to suck air through it; The other is a system of deliberate jets of steam (called the "blower"), which is used to induce a similar draught on the fire when the locomotive is not moving (or is not working hard enough for the exhaust beats to do this effectively). If there is no draught from either source, the fire will be starved of air, and if there is a lot of coal burning in the firebox, this will cause the smoke to turn sooty and black (indicating incomplete combustion of the coal). A good fire will produce a light grey smoke in between the puffs of water vapour.
Hello there , I'm Daniel from Tasmania , and I'd love to come over for a visit , however time and cash I don't have much of , so I'm quite content content to sit and enjoy !

A lady who likes trains? And doesn't mind throwing wood? (That... was a brilliantly unexpected pun.) Son - you're married, get outta my way! (How goes the layout?)
I wouldn't want a girlfriend like that. She'd be out doing stuff, and get no housework done. Who is going to make the sandwiches and clean the kitchen if she is doing other stuff women should not be doing.
@@michaeljane6141 No, the girlfriend is there primarily to do the housework and attend to all things in the kitchen eg Making sandwiches and serving cold beers.

If train invention was ever reversed nobody would be extolling the virtues of, nor wishing they could drive, an EMU. Steam trains are objectively the best.
Standard gauge is standard gauge - but you've definitely got more loading gauge than us! So, yes, probably, our trains are slimmer. I'm sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong.
That's correct. Here in New Zealand our track gauge is only 3'6" which is over 14 inches narrower than UK and USA track, but we run ex-British Rail rolling stock with narrow-gauge bogies without any clearance problems.
hmm they dont wear gloves or safety glasses or goggles? I can understand maybe not needing gloves but you dont want to take cinder or flying dirt to the eyes, its just a matter of common safety, still she does look nice even with a little dirt on her from fireing, this is a differant practice then what I am used to seeing in north america, even on the modern diesel electros they wear safety eyewear, and it was done even in 1910 ish as evedenced by old copys of railroad magazines and journels from the time, its just for me unknown not to see and notice it from my experiances
The nannies stike again...lol....standing on a rail line is safer as jaywalking....it used to be a no brainer.....natural selection must not be interfered with.....hot chick....she had me at "dirty"....although....i woulda preffered Annie Lennox.
How nice, this video shows just how equal women are. As with most labor the average woman does the work of 1/4 of a male, but they demand equal pay, 1/4 wages IS equal pay. Working on trains is a man's job, like all the other hard labor. If anyone thinks this is sexist, that means sexist is to tell the truth. Now this young lady would bring some beautiful babies into the world. I think if she really knew what a wife and mother is she would learn she has the highest respect and social status. How dare I try to advocate tradition something that has played a major role in the survival of our species for tens of thousands of years. Thomas

This was a good video and she did a great job of learning to fire a steam locomotive, something I wish I had the oppurtunity to learn.
First class, brilliant and I have no idea how some would not like this---hearts of stone

In Australia with New South Wales Railway both the driver and fireman cleaned the cab . I was at Enfield late 1960’s early 1970’s .

another well put together publication enjoyed every minute of it..
Thank you for posting. I enjoyed this very much.
I've been on this railway several times when on holiday!
Love the video, enjoyed the ride, thank you. ......
Really enjoyed this as it showed sides to different types of railways
I will be looking for more
Thank you for your efforts , particularly enjoyed the model garden railways. I need one, soon.
My favourite bit is around 14:25 with the beat of the engine and the sound of the skylarks in an English rural setting. I grew up in such a world.
Great video, many interesting railways and subjects. Please do another!
What an amazing Video!!
she made my day, :-)
Coool video! I wish I had time to watch the whole thing
Enjoyed watching i'm now a subscriber .
Love this video of Jenny and George.
love Fuullll 😍😍😍🥰😘🥰👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Lovely view of the engine from the field,, birds tweeting
Enjoyment knows no bounds __ A locomotive in steam, and a pretty young lady for fireman. What can you do for a encore?
She is too sweet for that job.
Awesome series of Video's pitty it didn't get the amount of subscribers needed to take off, however I think it would be different now with the advent of social media. The Internet is a lot different than it was in 2004!
Yes, it is a living beast; not only steel.
Cool very cool !
As a ex steam fireman/driver, never had a mate on the years spent on footplate like that young lady,Kind regards
Can we stop being politically correct and show all these pictures of women driving locomotives. They should not be doing this kind of work.
LocoScrapper I prefer political correctness to your sexism any day. I'm surprised that you left out how pretty she is.
jonka1 By making any mention of her looks, you are the one who is being sexist.
LocoScrapper You completely miss my point. It's your sexism I'm referring to. Seems like your hole is getting deeper.
I know you are referring to my mention of it but by implication you already think she is pretty yourself, and are attaching some importance to it.
For example, if you did not think she was pretty, you would have no reason to be surprised that I left it out. But you were in fact surprised.
Therefore you have shot yourself in the foot with your remark.
Amazing
wonderful girl
As a foot plate from 1947 to 1993, never seen so much woods used to get a fire going in a loco.
Nice video, likes from me

give the lady some gloves. I work with wood all the time and I see a Splinter Fest in her hands.

Good looking fireperson
The railway i volenteer on, we do the cleaning when the day ends
Where are the piston rods and the valve gear?

How would Jenny be classified on the UK rail system? Firebabe? She can light mine anytime!
Beautiful girl
Yes. Reminds me of Juliet Hammond Hill in the days of Secret Army (apart from the accent)
I'm kinda thick . I thought you meant the engine! She looks a lot like a buddy's wife here in Med Hat Alberta .
The woman . Not the engine . The engine looks like MY ex .
use soo nice boards for the fir??? i would make something with it.
22:50 :And thats just how I feel about steam engines!
Gloves would be good too.
Can we please have some subtitles.
😉😉😉👍👍👍😊
Correct me if I am wrong (Since I live in the USA), the Steam Locomotive that girl was firing in a Holden B12/3?
Mitchell DeVillers yes it was!
The Railway Channel- Thanks
What year was this filmed in?
in closing, be safe.
so much to do
Was there ever a 4th DVD?
yes
Was that Jennifer Johnston acting as a "fireperson"?
I thought that railway chaplains only existed on the GWR (God's Wonderful Railway)
any fireman and his apprentice should have the proper protective equipment. gloves , safety glasses and ear protection !
14.33 that engines beat
She would be the perfect girlfriend!! Is there a railfan out there who wouldn't marry her?!!
yes me
She is the perfect girlfriend! Sadly, not mine.
An angel with a dirty face...

we did not have all this palaver firing a locomotive Our shed had nice loco fire lighters not all this throwging lengths of wood all over fire box

I reiterate!!!
Prodaje learning from the experience train Mentor my Bestie
are the trains narrower in Britain then here is the US. I saw that it looked like the rail it self was smaller and not as wide as it is here.
Standard gauge is standard gauge - but you've definitely got more loading gauge than us! So, yes, probably, our trains are slimmer. I'm sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong.
Same track gauge (distance between the insides of the rails) but smaller loading gauge (the physical height, width and shape of the actual vehicles)
That's correct. Here in New Zealand our track gauge is only 3'6" which is over 14 inches narrower than UK and USA track, but we run ex-British Rail rolling stock with narrow-gauge bogies without any clearance problems.
you both should have GLOVES for God's sake 1
Wonder what the stoy with micheal in Darlington then.Sounds like he got caught arsing about on the tracks n blamed the programme. Haha
Darren sdf
That accent though....
*THE START OF THE VIDEO GAVE ME A FRIGHT*
lol thumpers they must thumb about lol
Do women not like steam locomotives they live nothing else lives
hmm they dont wear gloves or safety glasses or goggles?

You clearly haven't worked with some of the blokes I have worked with - they do less than her for time and half! :-) Haha
she cannot even throw wood in the firebox. because the have smaller brains they do not make good firemen
