Thankyou very much! Welcome to the channel 😃👍👍👍

You’re most welcome! 😎

Thanks!

Not quite Scotland - it’s a little railway that runs around Evesham Country Park in Worcestershire. A very friendly little railway!

Toad’s in a mood because they’re hauling passenger trains and have left him in a siding somewhere..

Thank you very much!

It was good to get inside the depot and see things close up 🙂

Yea

Thankyou 🙂

Yes, making him race backwards at such a speed!!!

Plenty more to come! 😃😃😃

Thankyou! Just subscribed to your channel 🙂👍

@StokesTrains Thank you very much !

Yes! 😊

If you’re within travelling distance of Cheltenham you could volunteer at the railway & learn to drive it……

This is an unusual little six wheeled brake carriage, was lovely to see it as it doesn’t often get used! You can’t really see it on this clip - here’s a link to the proper video of you’d like to take a closer look 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYa5h2uPjaaGb9Esi=QdUtMLrspzn5lBAM

@@StokesTrains Thank you!

Thank you so much 😊🥰🇬🇧🚂😀

Yes, they’re absolute beasts! I’d love to see one pulling a full length goods train…..

They have coal in a box at the rear..

As these two locos are not designed for travelling long distances, they have a small coal bunker at the back of the loco. These engines would’ve worked short branch lines, commuter trains or local goods trains - so they were always able to top up on coal when they needed to 🙂

DMU - diesel multiple unit. A railcar would be a single vehicle 🙂

@@StokesTrains Oh. :( Well now I know what DMU means.

Technically, it’s a DMU (diesel multiple unit) - a railcar would be a single vehicle - but I’ll let you off!! I’m sure you’ll get to visit here one day 🙂🙂🙂

@@StokesTrains Well I know now. I hope I do visit this railway.

I did! Noticed I’d started off not level!

They’ll be plenty more of them 🙂👍

@@StokesTrains Hurrah! Can't wait!

Thankyou! Although I can’t take any credit for the action of course, just the filming of it!

It was built for shunting work in tight places - the short wheelbase meant it could navigate sharp curves. It spent the first part of its working life at the GWR works in Swindon, and then moved to the docks at Weymouth for shunting duties 🙂

It is! This one was built to haul heavy freight trains 🙂

Hello there Wolfgang! The locomotive at the front is a Pannier Tank - it has a normal boiler, the rectangular appearance is due to the fact that on this design the loco has water storage tanks at either side of the boiler. They were a very popular design with the Great Western Railway and were used extensively on both lighter freight and passenger trains, shunting, banking and station pilot duties. 😊

A real powerhouse this one. Another Great Western design, built for heavy freight work. Not designed to be at all fast (they were designed to pull a heavy train at an average 30mph), and were still in use at the end of steam, keeping up easily with more modern designs.

Thankyou! It was nice to see inside the depot - one of the advantages of going to gala days rather than normal running days 🙂

Yes 👍

@ интересное видео ! Удачи вам !)

Thankyou very much my friend. There is a longer video here if you’re interested 🙂👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGWanpaMq9Sbg5Isi=BDpIn0TPRVEyolz0

@@StokesTrainsспасибо за ответ ! Вы очень вежливы ! Я обязательно посмотрю ваше видео! Англия 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 это родина Паровозов ну и Уэльс 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 тоже конечно !)

We’re very lucky here to have so many steam locomotives preserved and still able to run - there’s always something to see. I hope you enjoy the video and thankyou very much for contributing to the channel 🙂👍

Thankyou! New camera 📷 🙂

Thankyou 🙂
