- Come and enjoy a nice relaxing ride up the line with driver Ryan onboard River Mite. Running direct from Ravenglass right through to Dalegarth without stopping, this is a fantastic way to see what goes in to driving a steam train along what is affectionately known as La'al Ratty.

River Mite is a fantastic 2-8-2 steam locomotive, recently overhauled in 2021 and doing a fantastic job running along the superb 15" narrow gauge railway line that is the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway.
Along the journey you can see all the stops and halts at at Muncaster Mill, Miteside, Murthwaite, Irton Road, The Green, Fisherground and Beckfoot, however this is a direct train to Dalegarth so we just get to enjoy the full journey along the 7 mile (11.3 km) line.
Ravenglass and Eskdale railway operate throughout the year and run a number of special days too. It is worth visiting as the line is just spectacular, so is the lake district setting and especially the mountains surrounding the railway. Tickets are really good value and there is plenty to do.

The railway uses the Radio Control Train Order signalling system. Outside Ravenglass station, the line is single track with passing loops at Miteside, Irton Road and Fisherground. Trains operate by radio communication between drivers and at Ravenglass signal box. At passing loops and the terminus station, drivers contact the controller, using "RANDER" reporting numbers (even numbers for up trains, and odd for down), to indicate that the train is within the loop and is clear of the preceding single track. To leave the loop, the driver contacts control to gain authorisation to enter the next single track section. No semaphore signals are used outside Ravenglass station. Points at passing loops are weighted with direction indicators, meaning that no human intervention is required and the points reset themselves automatically after the passage of a train when entering the points from a trailing direction when the points are set for the other rail line.
Elements of the operation were used by British Rail to cut costs on remote lines. What became known as Radio Electronic Token Block signalling shared features with the Ratty, such as centralised control, automatic points at loops, and on-train equipment rather than fixed equipment at remote locations.
Using the former Poultney tender chassis fitted to River Esk between 1928 and 1931, the new Preservation Society designed a 2-8-2 locomotive, which was built by Clarksons of York in 1966 and commissioned in May the following year. River Mite was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine. River Mite is currently painted in the "Indian" red livery of the Furness Railway, with black lining and yellow lettering.

Outstanding video brilliant fantastic
Thank you for your kind words
@@TheTouristLine I did really enjoy every second of your fantastic wonderful gorgeous video thank you so much
What a fantastic ride! Watched it with pleasure
Thank you very much
Nice to see Mike the Arlesdale engine again
Luckily his real life loco counterpart is a lot less grumpy!
Up to Dalegarth,Down to Ravenglass.Great video though.
Very valid point, fixed it now 👍
Steam drivers eye view ? Brilliant ? Thanks for sharing in beautiful countryside?
It really is lovely in the lake district. I am going back this autumn to capture it with golden brown trees, I can't wait
great video quality well done all the best
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it. I am quite proud of this one
I used to volunteer at the Laa’l Ratty back in the day and worked with the driver of this engine (River Mite), I’ve cleaned those brasses so many times, his name is Ron Clark - fantastic times growing up👍😀🥳
It is such a lovely railway, and loco! I have recently just got back from doing some filming on River Irt, and as lovely as it is, it's definitely not as gentle as Mite! The video has turned out amazing though, it should be uploaded in the next week or so. The autumn colours on the new video are just mind blowing, I can't wait until I have finished editing so I can share it.
Great, I look forward to it👍
Hello from the US of A! It’s cool to find a steam engine in Europe with a Johnson Bar (the reverser).
I love how things like this have two names, I have learnt something today 😁😁
Good job!
Thank you 🙂
Loved this Ryan,that cab must be a massive improvement on the earlier one,as i remember it to be a really rickety ride,back in the day of Benny,trevor and Ron
I like how he just had his brew on the floor casually relaxing. It was a lovely journey, I really enjoyed it.
Nice locomotive.
It definitely is, I love the 15" locos!
Excellent video of one of my favourite lines. Thank you! 👏
You are most welcome, it was my first visit but won't be my last!
Fantastic !! Just fantastic. Thank You
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Well I've now taken the ride down and back and the cab view and I found them all fascinating and very pleasant. Thank you. I'll bet the heat off the boiler feels great at this time of year. I'm surprised there is no "dead man's switch" in the unlikely but possible medical emergency issue with the driver/engineer to prevent a runaway as there is only one person in the cab it seems.
I will have to double check but I am sure before covid there used to be two in the cab. I see what you are saying about the dead mans handle though
On the full-size railroads, there is an emergency brake in the coaches. Whether they are air brakes or vacuum brakes, pulling the handle and dumping the air/vacuum sets up all the brakes on the entire train, including the locomotive. The locomotive generally doesn't have enough power to pull through an entire train's worth of set brakes in addition to its own. So, likely, what would happen, is after a few unanswered radio calls to the engineer, the conductor/guard pulls the emergency brake and train screeches safely to a halt. I'd imagine that would be the case here, otherwise I don't think the trains would be allowed to operate.
I believe almost all public railways in the UK require Continuous Braking by law. Brakes that can be applied by the carriages or the locomotive
love this ride went on it last year me the missius and the dog great trip out loved it ,but they have gone overboard with decoration on the engine lol
The decorations make me chuckle, because it reminds me I actually filmed this on Boxing Day and had the railway virtually to myself. Sadly I still haven't fully warmed up from that day 😂😂
“Never overlook a little engine”
I couldn't agree more!
So cool! Thank you!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it
Those animals getting out of the way at 26:00 tells me this is the same ride I saw earlier, but shot from the footplate rather than a front-mounted camera. I would make one suggestion though, that you put captions identifying the four intermediate stations between Ravenglass and Eskdale.
I can confirm it was the same run, I have a couple of cameras so have started running 2 per journey (well spotted). I will have a look at the captions, it's not something I have thought of but it does make sense, thank you for the suggestion 👍
@@TheTouristLine It's just that as the train passes through without stopping, you don't get to see all the station signs identifying which is which.
@@neilforbes416 thats quite normal for a train video
@@neilforbes416 yeah that happens
Like the other video showing the few from in front of the boiler this shows the little engine picking up quite a pace.....
They are lovely little locos, really pack a punch too
I had no idea it was so rural. Really rolls them when he has a chance! What is their passenger base? Tourists????
It is a lovely location, really stunning. I was up on boxing day and it was fairly busy with tourists. I definitely picked up an Australian accent on one group (must have been freezing bless them).
I keep thinking the pad of paper is a tablet
I would say that is the future, but given how bad phone signal can be there, I doubt it 😂
The driver must get very wet when it rains. Dedication comes to mind.
I did think this myself, the Lake District is definitely known for its wet weather too! Everybody working that day was so proud and passionate, it was great to see
Yeah,must be either the best or worst job in the world,decided by the weather.
Great footage from a brilliant camera position.Thanks, enjoyed every minute.
