Surrey Border And Camberley Railway - Bullock And Kinloch

- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2023
- The Surrey Border And Camberley Railway was a miniature railway that was only open for 14 months during 1938 and 1939. This is the story of how it came to be built and the two men without whom it would never have existed.
There are two excellent books covering this subject, both highly recommended:
HCS Bullock - His Life And Locomotives. Republished in 2017 and available from A to B books, telephone 01305 259998. The website is www.atob.org.uk ISBN 978-0-9575651-2-8
The Surrey Border And Camberley Railway. Plateway Press 1993 (out of print). ISBN 1-871980-15-1. Written by Peter Mitchell, Simon Townsend and Malcolm Shelmerdine. Some of the photos used in this film are attributable to them although found via open source on the internet.
Many photos the copyright of Keith Bullock (grandson of HCS) and the collection of Robert Bullock (no relation to HCS). Also thanks to David Henshaw at A to B publishing.

Another fascinating nugget of forgotten history!
It's been of interest to me for ages and I've spent a year or so gathering photos and information. I'm trying to make a history film every month or so, they are time consuming but the end result is worthwhile - hopefully 🙂
Fantastic Nick. The northern station is about 2 miles from my house as the crow flies. I've been researching he history of the line for a while, but you've found out far more than I did, thanks for your efforts. It was quite a system, such a shame it was at just the wrong time in history. Next time I'm in the Sainsburys car park I'll try to imagine the trains chugging through.
I’m pleased you enjoyed the film. My interest in all things 1920s and ‘30s is wide and I wasn’t sure what reception this film would get. The response has been delightful. I harbour ambitions of a short 10 1/4 gauge line of my own but it’s easier to go and see Nigel and Kay for a afternoons fix of steam.
September 3, 1939. These men were building and operating a miniature railroad right up until the opening shots of WW2. Did they suspect how much their lives were about to change? I wonder if we aren't in a similar period now.
I try not to look at the contemporary situation with too much hindsight. When war was declared in 1939 it was by no means certain that it would descend into the five and a half years of global warfare. The opening few months of war in the west were confined to the sinking of the SS Athenia by the U-30 (on September 3rd) and sporadic bombing raids on German ports. Britain's pre war treaty with France meant that Britain provided air and sea power and the French had an enormous land army. No one expected France to fall in less than a week and for most of the British land resources to be abandoned on a beach at Dunkirk. Had France not fallen, the outcome of WW2 would have been very different. So many 'what ifs' to consider that can only been seen looking back.
Thank you for posting .
My pleasure!
Interesting as always!
Thanks! 👍
All the pacific locomotives are now together and can found at the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway in Hampshire.
Thank you for that information, I must visit at some point. HCS Bullock was a fine engineer.
@@FlyingForFunTrecanair You’re welcome! He certainly was.
PS have found the house at 7.32, 63 Moorlands Rd Camberley, on Google Earth. Has been extended but appearance and location checks. Next time I visit the local Toolstation, which isn't far, I'll have a look.
Thanks, I shall look at Google Earth and Streetview. Must go back to my propeller, now balancing it!
John Southern did well with his Dobwalls railway considering
It used to be brilliant, went there several times when the boys were small.
Great video essay. But please could you credit your sources for the historic pictures and information used? These pictures are still subject to copyright. Also, Peter Mitchell, Simon Townsend and Malcom Shelmerdine as well as Ken Bullock and Bob Bullock (who wrote the collective books on this subject) need credit. Many thanks!
Thank you. Bob Bullock, Keith Bullock (son of Ken) and David Henshaw (A to B publishing) were already credited in the description and they allowed me to use their photos. I have edited the description to add Messrs. Mitchell, Townsend and Shelmerdine by name although their publication had already been accredited. This is a non-monetised film purely made to tell the story of the FMR and the SBCR.
Can you sort out the BBC please, society needs more proper telly
Can I sort out the BBC? Not without committing genocide on an industrial scale, no.
@@FlyingForFunTrecanair Like you video but your throwaway comment is clumsy and inappropriate.
@@xylicable Quite possibly, yes!
