  • Hello Everyone,
    This is a long one, so I suggest sitting down, making yourself comfy and getting ready for some good old train spotting fun, and join me and James as we wonder round and just enjoy being back at a railway - as the Bredgar and Wormshill Railway put on quite the show with their freight only event.
    For more information on the Bredgar and Wormshill Railway, check out their website - bwlr.co.uk/
    A video featuring:
    Lawrie - Presenter, happy to be at a railway event again,
    James - Presenter, Happy to be at a railway event again.
    A video edited by Lawrie.

    Another railway I strongly suggest visiting is the nearby SKLR, it's a heavily industrial paper mill railway and it's my all time favorite. All the staff are lovely and the trains are all original to the line!

    There were quite a few little steam engine on narrow gauge networks in Queensland. Growing up as a child there was a sugar mill close by where the main line ran down the middle of the street , they used to throw a festival once a year and show off the Locomotives past and present... Sadly its long shut down and events like that dont happen at all. would be great to see the old little locomotives pulls some old cane carts around on their former stomping grounds.

    I love how they are running the trains here with passenger and freight rolling stock. Not many other railways do this and it's rare to see on standard gauge. The only time I have see a slightly mixed train on a standard gauge steam Railway was at the Midland Railway at Butterly years ago when they did a prototypical branchline passenger train with a LMS 6 wheeled milk tanker in tow.
    By the way the green and yellow tractor was a Lanz tractor built when John Deere had finally brought out their factory in Mannheim, Germany. John Deere still build tractors there today.

    Lovely railway; although like a lot of new build railways it feels more like a large miniature railway rather than a narrow gauge railway.

    • @bentullett6068
      @bentullett6068 3 года назад

      The Statfold Barn Railway is pretty much the same as some enthusiasts decided that building a narrow gauge railway on a plot of land was easier than restoring a existing one. Plus they can run what they want locomotive and rolling stock wise.

      @@bentullett6068 Whilst I wouldn't question the superb quality of the work done at either Bredgar or Statfold I feel that things are almost too nice and shiny and consequently have more in common with a miniature railway rather than a narrow gauge railway. There is an indefinable narrow gauge vibe that both these railways are lacking which other new build railways like Apedale have in bucket loads.

      Great video! It is such a shame that not many people have heard of it before. It has a great variety of heritage vehicles such as many steam trains and diesel trains, classic cars, tractors, a French portable steam engine, a steam roller, an operational beam engine and an beautiful traction engine. Nice to see the traction engine in action. If you visit again soon, you might be able to see the beam engine in action.
