Hello Mid Hants Railway please can you take Thomas the tank engine to the Severn Valley Railway in Shropshire and Worcestershire if you could

506 is my favourite loco of the line. S15 is a beautiful class.

👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

Definitely coming along this year..... but this time with a load of Beaver Scouts 😅

Thanks Will, I am looking forwards to that. I hope to see you there....

Good evocotive autumnal video 🚂🚂🚂🚂👍

Lovely atmospheric video - well done!

Indeed, the closing sequence with the firebox glow on the underside of the steam was epic!! Another excellent video!

That last sequence deserves an "Emmy"! 😊

Excellent video.

What a good match of Steam, Diesel and Hampshire countryside. Thanks for posting this....

Perfect

Brilliant stuff.

Brilliant to see Dave and D8059 working together! Looks brilliant, especially when they’re both powering up the hill. Such a shame i was away, i’d have been there for sure!! Brilliant stuff as always.

Dear Will, I made the leap and have now joined the P-Way at Medstead. We took a ride on the Wickhams trolley and headed up line to Alton. I worked my first shift with Adrian C doing gauge testing and Ballast levels recording and I had a great time. I hope to be out on the track again soon....

What if I driver want to go to the toilet during a journey

Here is an idea when you finished building Canadian Pacific, you can have your own Bulleid steam gala like the Swanage did as well as have it as during the summer so you can recreate The end of Southern steam by withering all the engines as well as bringing in engines who are static display and recreate them into the engines waiting for the scrap yard. Whilst the summer heat could derail the event with the fires you can always have it early before summer but that is up to you and here is who should be at this event. This is just an idea and suggestion you don’t have to do it, but I hope you will consider it 😊 Guests: Tangmere Manston City of Wells 92 Squadron Orient Archibald Sinclair Taw Valley Home-fleet: Canadian Pacific Static fleet in withered condition: S15 Wadebridge Blackmoor Vale Please let me know what you think Kind regards Oscar

Well done

Loved my school trip with Connaught muddle school back in the late 80s. The poor guide really had to keep a straight face when he asked us what the engine was called and instead of looking at the nameplate one of my classmates looked at the coach next to us and said its called buffet. I made a fool of myself when I couldn't remember that engines marked WD meant that they were war department! As a self confessed train nut I never lived that one down for the rext of the year!

Great video, fantastic workshop facilities. Shouldn't wear gloves when working these machines though, greatly magnifies the risk of hand entrapment. From a machine woodworker of 40 years experience.

I'd also add that Darren runs brilliant sessions for community groups such as Scouts and can testify to the fact that the children and adults all gained a huge amount from our visit. Great fun.

Very important point , children need to remember where we all came from , the railways helped build this country moving people and materials and still does , without the past we can't evolve ,

Kinda cool that it's still used here in Belgium, where there are coaches that have a control cab. We even started implementing a mix of emu and coach control cabs with the latest M7 dubbledecker coaches.

Brilliant videography!

Does anyone remember the Trix Twin model of these ? It was a screw together kit . A firm favorite of mine.

Hi team please keep the videos coming please I really enjoy them. Think the biggest problem for all heritage railways from now on will where are the new coal is going to come from as the uk has now stopped burning coal for power hopefully we will see steam running on yours and other heritage railways

Love the videos will! A video that would be really good, would be you firing the line, whilst mic’d up and cameras, explaining where your putting the coal and why. Is that something that would be possible?

Our Grandson and I had a trip on this lovely little railway this year. Do visit! (We arrived by train as well - Totnes main line is just a short walk away) Great philosophy at the end as well, Will. ps Loved our trips on the MHR last year too.

Thanks for that. Into the 1960s Push Pull trains ran between Three Bridges and Tunbridge Wells West. I once got a ride in the engine cab from East Grinstead to Forest Row with the engine pushing, on the line that has long been lifted.

Music name anyone? 0:02

Keeping You In The Loop: The Women Behind The Machine Mid Hants Railw love louis shirley

Sorry to ask but is it museum@watercress or museums@watercress ??

Born 1925. Banging panels on CP aged 16 1941. Now 98/9 years old. How many women in the last Census would fit these criteria? Go for photos. Hit the major archives if not already done. There may always be the one in a million chance of a result. I hope so. The old thousand words adage is never more true than in circumstances such as this. I have no photos of my Grandmother taken during the time from my birth in 1947 to her death in 1973. Thanks to other agencies however, I do have a poignant and powerful image of her aged 8 in 2904, when taken up for adoption. That's how powerful the celluloid image is...

Those ladies from Eastleigh in 1941 are going to be nearing their century at least!

Great episode will and team! Great episode. Can't wait to see CP back into traffic! Hope to ride on it next year! Also, any updates on 73096 and Swanage?

Any updates on swanage?

where was that film of the wartime women working in engineering taken ?

Well introduction. I never know this kind of control and train. Thanks!

I love the video 😊

Very informative video and many thanks to the South Devon Railway drivers and staff for their generosity in sharing their time and lovely railway with us.❤

From what I read,there was not only mechanical operations on push-pulls,there were cable,and vacuum versions of controls! The Isle of Wight has the LSWR type PP's operating,with air pumps! Query; What other companies/ regions used what systems for PP services?? Thank you for time and efforts,well done! Thank you 😇 😊!

Great episode Will, I know both Ben & Rod + I remember working on the footplate on the South Devon with a certain Mr Bentley several moons ago.

Flying Scotsman, always 4472!
