If you ever wind up in the USA, the Baltimore & Ohio roundhouse is an absolutely incredible visit.
Thank you for preserving the history of narrow gauge. All around the world the place of Leeds is now known.
Gotta love narrow gauge, Reminds me of a certain railway on a certain fictional island hahahaha keep it up.
It's pretty much what happens when you take model railways to the next level as it pretty much is a 1:1 scale narrow gauge model railway being built as a play thing originally and then finally advancing into a giant collection.
* reminds *.
Very well filmed and edited. Thank you this was a great mini feature!
I love how there is such a wide variety of locomotives, hopefully I'll be able to go there someday.
I'm lucky enough to live just 20 minutes away from this absolute gem of a railway.
I had a livesteam 45mm trangkill on my now defunct garden railway 🚂🚃🚃. Excellent video Laurie as usual.
They're all so freaking adorable!
Corpet. The French have been making whacky vehicles since forever. Luv it.
Statfold Barn is a treasure trove of small-scale railway history, showcasing the best among the best of well-kept railway-themed collections. Lawrie, you've done it again! Regards, Samuel Farris.
I can be sure that each of these locomotives had a journey throughout history, they are preserved in this museum to tell several stories of their daily lives, I will be sincere, seeing each one in this museum is very nostalgic
Lovely video, thank you. I went there for the 009 Society exhibition and loved looking around the locos.
Thanks Lawrie and team, that is a most impressive collection of locomotives and archives.
Stumbled across this video - what beauties! Great video!
I think it's really nice that people still appreciate things that have actually lived their time. And I think that's good too! In my opinion, despite everything, it is still the best, most durable, most sustainable and most repair-friendly technology there is. I think it's really nice that someone still takes the time to fight. Thanks. Really great post! 👍🏻 Respect!

Wow spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you
I never knew this place existed. Thanks to your video it's another place that I have just added to my places to visit list 👍
Those are some freaking beautiful engines
That was great thanks. Laurie didn't show us the workshop with its modern CNC machines which is at a different level to any other steam workshop I have visited. When I was there last year there were 1-2 new build steam loco's in the workshop and several being restored/repaired. The enthusiast days are amazing with up to 10 engines in steam, plus the narrow gauge tram/trolley and the garden railway also in use. I understand that they have also recently opened another narrow gauge route on the site. Its well worth a visit but is only open on a limited number of days a year. It wasn't that long ago when you had to write to them for an invitation to be able to visit
This is a wonderful railway to visit.
Fantastic, thank you !
Bloody excellent video Laurie. Never had the chance to visit yet despite living close by, it used to be by invitation only but now I'll have to make the effort. Invokes memories of the original Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway & others. Wonderful.
Thanks for another lovely videe.
Stunning video, superbly presented. Good job Lawrie!
I love engineering drawings, I could happily live in that archive of drawings.
planning to make a trip to England to buy some parts and possibly a motorcycle to take back to Sicily and Malta will for sure visit this place !
What an amazing place.
Sadly many museums are slowly dying here in Australia.
Gosh the archive looks gorgeous, what I would give for massive blueprint tables like that to read through guest copies of those drawings just in awe they were all done by hand with scales and compasses
Would be ace if the blueprints and plans were turned into Haynes manuals! I’d buy one!
I'd end up bankrupt! Would love some as prints to hang up too
Absolutely adore the Statfold Barn collection. Such a unique and historically important collection and in exceptionally well kept condition. This video does an amazing job of illustrating all the cool stuff they have there. Very excited for the digital drawings of the blueprints!
Side note, but I’m still finding it mental how many quarry hunslets there are. Statfold alone has like 5-10 if I recall correctly. There’s like 30 others preserved aswell. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s actually accurate or even an understatement.
nice one lawrie
Lovely stuff Lawrie.
Hi
Nice one Lawrie.
The sister locomotive to the one shown at 2:48 is preserved and operational al my local railway museum! My region (Asturias) is a traditionally coal-producing area so there were a lot of narrow gauge railways around.
and my local railway also has another example of a Brown locomotive, this time in meter gauge instead! the world is quite small...
Truly excellent production. I would have loved to see 19B included
This was shot before 19B arrived - it's been playing in the roundhouse for a year!
@@lmm Thanks Lawrie. I came up for the first time for 19B's unveiling then again for your Road, Rail and Beer event. To be honest I don't tend to watch videos as I assumed (obviously incorrectly) that they are aimed at those not so familiar with steam locomotives. What a fabulous place you have there; I will certainly be back.
I believe you post a video of a model train event at this location awhile back.
Stuffed up on a wall was a little "critter" painted for Charles Matthews" Thornhill.
Can we get a few close up shots of that for those of us that worked and benefited from the work of the Matthews Brothers.
Charles senior was the father, they were building movers by trade. They also played a large part in the moving of streetcars (trams) for the museum here in Ontario.
I would give my left arm to be able to work in a place like that for the rest of my life.
Wish we were still in the steam age
In the future, will u ever go to the welsh highland railway with the garretts btw love the content helps out alot to explore the railways of the uk
A member of the Fijis class the Anne Elizabeth a similar Hundswell Clark on the roster of the oldest tourist railroad in the world Edaville here in the colonies. She’s currently being restored up in Two Foot Country aka Maine. Edaville was established in the 1940’s with Maine equipment and has had is off and ons since the 90’s. But recently after a blue push toys era has ended steam and historic Edaville steam has returned. Wales has the first heritage railway and we got the first tourist railway!
Just wondering, how is there a Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes coach there? I'm with one of the Maine two foot railroad museums and find it neat. I know the Maine two footers started thanks to George Mansfield who was inspired by the Festiniog and started his own in Massachusetts which only lasted nine months by Massachusetts and moved everything to Maine and help start the Sandy River railroad. At its peak Maine had five two foot railroads totaling over two hundred miles.
Yeah davenport!
Lawrie please do a video like this for the NRM
If they asked me to I would!
I wanna visit the museum
0:53: It is great to see "Cloister" and "Wendy" have settled down in their new home at the Statfold Barn Railway. Are the two Motor Rail Simplexs "Awgi Pet 2" and "Brambridge Hall" (a.k.a "Bramble") still based there?
29th
...as you were.
"The Engines held an Indignation Meeting around the turntable"
Fuji reminds me of a Hunslet that a neighbor had to in his front yard looked him up and found out he’s got his own little railway Pete’s hobby railway
homina homina homina
interesting to note that the Corpet's brown gear is not the "original" builder's version, as it has been adapted with an Hackworth crank instead of the radial gear that was known as the "Corpet-Brown" valve gear in France. Also, as weird as it looks, Brown locomotives built by Corpet-Louvet were quite numerous and often seen building lines or proceeding with trackwork on secondary railways! A few were even later repurposed as light passenger engines, and would be seen pulling a couple of wooden passenger cars.
Oh really? I didn't know that
@@lmm yeah! We have the Corpet plans at our museum, as well as an (another) actual Brown locomotive, and most of the exemples of that type features a specific valve gear that is not seen here. Now, was this modified later or was it a feature for exports? good question...
9:23 isn't that Saccharin im 2 months late but i found it! i wonder if itll ever return to its old railway (for those who don't know said locomotive worked at the Alford valley railway yknow the abandond one).
Excellent video, although I could have watched much more. 😊
Where did the Loco at 3:35 come from?
If it’s the one I think it is I knew the former owner!
I spotted Hunslets name plate
* Hunslet's *.
Also * plate. *.
Kind of wasting being THE FIRST COMMENT.
I would love to see video of the L. Corpet locomotive working and also a detailed tour of this unit.
I'm working on it!
@@lmm
Awesome.
Thank you sir.
@@lmm
I do have one more question.
What is the name of the valve gear arrangement?
Greetings from the high plains of Texas.
@@ryandavis7593 the valve gear itself is a Corpet-Brown gear, though this locomotive seems to have been fitted with a Hacwkworth gear instead of the radial system used on "original" Brown locos.
@@hugos5114
Thank you for that information. Apparently this system wasn’t used much in North America.
Hello you replied to my comment on your biggest steam train in the UK video
Excellent!
Now is this video going to be another pop up Lawrie feature at the Statfold Barn Railway? Where there are many Lawries dotted around doing videos.
It's not my fault I have long hair!
This has been playing for about a year!
It sounds like you're heavily invested in this railway or the museum. Do you own a part of this now?
This was a video for them, playing in their museum.
Will you be making a video on the doon valley reopening in 2024
Do they run and do passenger service?
Open days (they do them)
...but don't quote me on that.
I'm not ACTUALLY always correct.
@@ThatCoalSoul thanks man
They have many open days throughout the year - the enthusiast days are the best with more than ten engines running
@@lmm thanks
How the hell can the video have 58k likes and only 41k views?
It doesn't?
It's got 1k likes.
You got the phrase *engines built all across leeds* wrong, you said ‘globe’ 😂😂😉
Why did round houses fall out of favour with the train companies?
Row sheds were just cheaper and can fit into more types of spaces.
It would never happen and we don't really have anywhere to run her but I wish K1 would come home one day
all 600mm?
Mostly, or rather 610mm.
Who let the French design locomotives... :P
So proud of you. Channeling your inner Brit!
Hellom@@lmm
I’m a woman, n I’ll b honest….I’d be drooling.
Un tel Respect pour le Patrimoine Industriel en Conservant non seulement les Machines mais aussi les Archives et Plans d'Epoque ( en Papier ) est IMPENSABLE en France !
RESPECT pour les Britanniques.
allez dans une salle d'archives municipales ou juste dans un musée ferroviaire et vous serez convaincu du contraire! Par exemple, le musée MTVS à lui seul compte une centaine de matériels roulants d'époque et a aussi sauvegardé les plans d'origine du constructeur Corpet-Louvet.
3:35 is that Torpedo?
What Bachmann should do is Visit the Statfold Barn Railway, look at the cool locomotives they have, and make OO9 scale models.
Especially Fiji. Fiji needs to be in OO9 scale. One of the reasons Is I have a Thomas & Friends OC based off Fiji.
