Great video again Mike. Another year coming to an endh .I would like to thank Val and yourself for all the video's this year and look forward to seeing many more in the coming year
thanks Mike for another great season on the WSR. I enjoy watching your videos. The railway is quite charming and I hope to get down there next year health permitting. I have just read that you have the services of Erlestoke Manor for all of next season.Bradley Manor has almost completed its overhaul and will be running on the SVR next season.
Lovely footage of the trains on the last few days of the season Chris and I have been watching some of your early films which have been very interesting. Love to you both from.Joanne and Chris.xx
Thank you Joanne and Chris. If I had more time I might get around to watching some of Mike's early videos, but at the moment various tennis tournaments to try and keep up with! xx
I think it’s a good idea to ‘do’ something different for Christmas this year as the Christmas lights trains will become stale- nice to ring the changes! Presumably most of the passengers will be local so they would welcome something different. I like the idea of panto trains!!! Didn’t they have Halloween themed trains awhile back? The drawback being that you need role players! Thanks Admiral!
Yes Diana you are right, the WSR did put on a Halloween theme about 3 or 4 years ago, only once though and very good it was. They aren't doing the Christmas lights train this year. They are doing Panto Trains and Carol Trains and also something called Bad Santa, which doesn't sound very nice to us at all is on the menu for this year! oh and also Santa Trains of course!
I watch these videos and I am just amazed at how many types of steam locomotives there are in Great Britain still running on the tracks and ferrying people around. There was a steam locomotive in Hungary that was popular, and this is the end of the list. I do not even remember another steam locomotive. This only steam locomotive was; MÁV 424.
Yes we are fortunate that there are many enthusiasts who love the old steam locomotives and manage to raise enough money and have the facilities to restore them.
Perhaps you can both have a rest and put your feet up for a while till the Christmas lights train...but no not the Admiral and Val. Take it easy you two and thank you.
No Christmas Lights train this year, Dave. Some Panto trains and Santa of course, but mainly for kids and their carers. So I guess more Garden Centres to check out.
Deck the halls with Val and Scorner, Tis the season to really love her. Don we now our gay apparel, Troll the ancient Yuletide Carol. See the blazing Yule before us, Strike the harp and join the chorus. Follow them in merry measure, While they tell of Yuletide Treasure. Your fault for making my heart sing, lol. Just kidding. Merry Christmas to both of you.
Thanks Kelly for another great ditty, or rhyme? Thanks also for lovely compliment. All the very Best to you and yours as you get ready for the joyful christian message and season xx
There a some, but the older generations who remember them better do provide most of the drivers. It does take some time in any case to go through the learning experiences from cleaner to qualify to drive them.
Great video again Mike. Another year coming to an endh .I would like to thank Val and yourself for all the video's this year and look forward to seeing many more in the coming year
It's our pleasure Graham.
Great Mike and Val and now a rest for you both until the Christmas trains, thank you.
We are always on the lookout for interesting material.
I just want to thank you and Val for the lovely videos you have made and i hope there will be more to come in the future.
Many thanks Andrew, we enjoy making them.
I could FEEL I was being filmed as I pulled my coal forward 😂
Nice. Cheers!
Simon
I always feel we owe a great deal to the fireman who does all the hard work! Thank you.

Are there any young people driving steam locomotives these days?
There a some, but the older generations who remember them better do provide most of the drivers. It does take some time in any case to go through the learning experiences from cleaner to qualify to drive them.
