- Hello all, i visited the Swanage Railway for the first time earlier this year, for their 2023 diesel gala.
Thoroughly enjoyed my trip and thought id show you all the footage i got!
Id recommend a visit, it was well worth the trip down to the coast, Corfe Castle Station being the obvious highlight!
Thanks to all at Swanage who made this all happen.

It will be lovely to see the dear old Swanage Railway!! Even though I’m not a diesel lover, I can appreciate watching ANY train.
thanks Eric some great footage here... been to swanage railway lots, a great little railway...
Thanks david, i really liked it!
Loving the drone footage mate. Excellent video. You can always guarantee that the Swanage Diesel Gala is a great one and no exception this year. 50021 looked amazing and a credit to all those who work on her.
Cheers steve, yeah seeing that was quite a highlight
see all our hydraulics and 50s in action.
My first encounter with Swanage station was in '77. The track has been pulled up (Dr Beeching), and volunteers and enthusiasts had just restored the station building at Swanage; I remember the strong smell of paint. There was bunting on the station building because '77 was Her Majesty's Silver Jubilee that year.
I remember walking, daily, to my campsite at Harmens Cross, along the old track bed. The ballast was still there, but the track had been lifted.
It is lovely to see that the Heritage Railway has managed to reconnect the track to the mainline at Wareham.
Eric, excellent air footage; it brings back so many happy memories. I was thirteen then and still remember the warm summer evenings walking along the trackbed at 20:30 hrs. I'm fifty-nine now.
What a lovely story. Thankyou for sharing!
Glad that car didn't get you on the bridge.
Excellent video with superb drone work too. Drone footage like that is useful for railway modellers, as it's the viewpoint of our layouts most of the time!
This will be a great video
Thanks
That was an excellent video. Really enjoyed the drone footage. Well done !
Thankyou!!
Cracking filming there...loved it BUT half way through adverts are popping up, were you aware of this, if so thats OK if not....well
Hi, yeah my channel is monetised, i only put one or two in though depending on the length of video.
Doesnt pay much but every little helps!
Great little video. The drone shots made it look like a model railway. 👍
Cheers bud! Does a bit hey
Great drone footage.
Lovely to see the 33/1 and TC working how they should.
Thanks mate, yeah that was quite nice tbh! I didn’t expect that!
Nice enjoyed it Eric looks like you did as well thanks for sharing cheers Al
Thanks!
Great video. I enjoyed working at Swanage Railway, 2009-2012, and was lucky to live in Corfe Castle.
Thanks, oh excellent! Must have been fun
Very enjoyable video Eric..with some lovely aerial footage. I like what they've done at Norden too. All the best.
Thanks a bunch
Some great scenery there and the trains aren't bad either. Bonus narrow gauge too.
Thankyou for watching
great video Eric
My love of 1930s to 80s Tube rolling stock led me to this channel, and here we have a video about an event on a railway that's a couple of hundred metres away from my flat; within tooting distance.
I'm also getting quite fond of 47s, 50s, and of course, 45s, as well as a few first generation DMU and EMUs.
Diesel's not got the same buzz for me as A, C, O/P and R Stock, but definitely a tingle.
Awesome footage. Thanks. I'm wondering what D345 is.
Small world hey!
D345? Thats the 40 no?
@@UndergroundEric I'll take your word for it. That pseudo-Deltic (55?) look is still confusing to me.
Brilliant video Eric, looks like you've had a fun day out at the Swanage, I'd love to visit that line someday. :)
Loved it! Thanks for watching
Great video Eric, Diesels are not my thing but anything being preserved on railways is great. The drone footage was excellent. Choo, choo Tel.
Thanks a lot, i agree!
Great video as usual Eric and some great drone shots, how is your layout coming on😎
Cheers Mark.
Ive had an update vid 90% ready to go for about a month now, its just finding the time to sit and go through it! Wont be long
Eric if you are interested come up to the Severn Valley autumn diesel gala and as an svr shareholder i will but you and your partner on my pass.
Thanks Caroline that is kind, i am already planning to attend. I went to the spring gala and loved it!
your most welcome. going up on the thursday if you not working.
Do they still only run from Swanage to Norden? Or do they now run through to Dorchester?
They run a regular service to wareham now with their DMUs for a mainline connection
Are the London Transport coaches from the LTM? Or are they from another heritage railway company?
The 4TC is owned by LT, usually kept at Ruislip depot on the central line
Takes me back to the good old days when you could have a beer, light up your fag and relax, not like these repressive and overpriced times we have now.
OK so it was intentional so that' OK .
