It must be a bit un nerving to know you only have the hand brakes to stop the train in an emergency. No brake force from a locomotive. I once tried to see how effective the hand brake was on a class 37 . We took the locomotive up to 20 mph and then used the hand brake to stop . It travelled about 600 yards before stopping 😮

Many years ago, I worked at Ffestiniog power station for a few weeks. I remember seeing the train running just a few yards from the station. Unfortunately I never did get to ride on it.

Slate has fascinated me since 1959 when i entered the building trade. Over the years I've done many walks and been down lots of slate mines but you have trumped the lot. Great video and great trip. I am very envious of you Tim.. many thanks.

When I was in elementary school in a very small town in Wisconsin, USA my school’s roof was slate. We would use small pieces that broke off from the roof as markers for our hopscotch games. If I ever get to the UK again, this will definitely be on my list of things to do!

Yeah, you feel every bump and join in the track. The wagons don't have suspension.

Good Lord I didn't recognise Nigel Harris and I thought it was Chris Leigh. On the old days if a customer bought 1000 slates he most likely got 1020 slates to cover for breakages as the slates are so thin.

I hope this gives a bit of an idea of the feeling of careering down a valley along two strips of steel bouncing about in an iron wagon. If you're a FR volunteer who was on the train that day - thank you. Actually - if you're a heritage railway volunteer anywhere - cheers for all that you do.

The Fairlie double enderxs were an inventtion of the god fearing Welsh who wanted to want to ban the demon drink. Surely any Welshman staggering out the boozer after a skinful and seeing this loco would think he was seeing double and go to an AA meeting and go to the chapel on Sundays

Fabulous! Such a shame that 590 couldn’t be out over the WHR100 event but it lovely watching the crew look after it in the sheds. Such pride! It was still a great weekend that one! Chasing down those Double Fairlies was ace! (I might’ve spotted some of the Moving Pictures team in the vid as well! Sorry… i do try my best to stay out of the way of filming!)

With regards to Goodrington sands it's not true that the railway "recently discovered" nobody was using it. They stopped serving Goodrington during covid as part of safety measures, then Quaywest waterpark was closed for refurbishment (the main reason people used the halt) and I don't believe they've served Goodrington since March 2020.
@steamrailway Жыл бұрын
Shorthand for “they’ve recently (a relative term) done some analysis and found that few people really used it anyway. You’ll see that a number of heritage lines are shutting / skipping stations now just as their forebears did - costs are rising and it is becoming harder to justify maintenance when few users are making use of it. So I’m whilst “nobody” is a bit of an exaggeration, I think you’ll see very few folk used it pre Covid anyway. Cheers, Tim Dunn

Time was, when a friendly footplate crew would invite a youngster on board, and fire 'his'(as then was) enthusiasm to becoming an engineman. Gone are those days when health and saftey and the order of the DCM - 'Don't Come Monday' would be the penalty.
