So it's Lionel and Lionel Travels this week, some superb tractors, but I love the traction engines and seeing them put to work again. Some unbelievably good models, if only we could smell the oil, steam and smoke. Thanks for the commentary and your recollections. Take care. Ron

There's something special about the smell of a steam engine. Whether it's a railway or small traction engine. Thanks for the lovely comment, Ron. Keep well and stay safe.

A nice show Lionel, I like the steam engines. I inherited a small one which was my father's. We used to love watching it going along when my brother and I were children; yes, it's old! Thanks for sharing your day out

THanks Lynn. Fancy you liking steam engines! There is something magical about them, big or small. I would have liked to have taken more footage, but having to rely on public transport, I was very limited. Thanks for your lovely reply

Oh what a lovely place to spend time Lionel and Mary, it looked beautiful there, somewhere I don't think we have been, but must put it on our list! You did very well to walk all that way down to the cove (and back)! It was nice to have somewhere to stop and have some refreshments. The Abbey was stunning and you got the beautiful views from your room too, what a bonus. To top it off gorgeous weather too. Thanks for sharing your lovely video 🥰 Happy memories made for you both

We can use our passes, so it doesn't cost a penny.

Happy birthday Mary! I love Highclere! I went on a coach trip there a few years ago at the height of Downtonmania - Lady Carnarvon came on our coach as we entered the coach park - said we had come to the wrong place, as the name board on the front of the coach said we were going to Downton Abbey and that the driver had driven to the wrong place as we had arrived at Highclere Castle!! even the coach driver looked a little confused for a bit! Yes, I remember the no photography rule inside - seems odd as it has appeared all over the world on TV now! Great video, and glad you both had a good time. Take care, Paul
@lionelmarytravels6003 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comments Paul. One of the guides said it was because flash photography damages certain interior objects and paintings. Modern cameras don't need flash as much as they used to. Sounded like a lame excuse to me.

Thanks Lynn & Ky for your comments. Yes. It was an enjoyable day and the weather was kind to us. Apart from the queen's visit, I've been in there before. I worked for the estate from 1980 to 1983, so not very long, but if the castle required and extra help for any reason, then various farm staff members would be enlisted to help. It might have something to do with the heavy fall of snow we had in April 1982 which brought limbs off of trees. The.trees were in leaf at that time.of the year and the weight of snow caused some to break off. It's a long time ago now, so my.memory is struggling to recall all the details Best wishes Lionel

Great video Lionel & Mary! As you know I did a monthly vlog from Avebury recently, but I missed so much. I must have missed the court house completely - I never saw it, and I never knew it was even there! Is it behind the barn (that was closed on the day of my visit due to flood damage)? I had lunch in the National Trust cafe - definitely one of their better ones. They even had gluten free vegetarian sandwiches available - the only type I can eat - I usually have to settle for a banana and a pot of tea. Thank you for showing me around - I must return again soon! Lovely video and music. Take care, Paul

It's so pretty with those gorgeous cottages and the summer flowers. It was lovely to see inside the National Trust too. What a beautiful walled garden. Of course I loved seeing the dogs at 14:10 and one like my Ky. Yes, I must stop at Avebury next time I go to Wiltshire, which hopefully will be soon. Thank you for sharing 🥰

Hi Lionel - great video! Haven't been to STEAM since I took my daughter there many years ago. I found this about the 'Camel' loco No 3352 on Wikipedia: "In October 1899 no. 3352 Camel appeared with the final form of the parallel No. 2 boiler, domeless, with a raised Belpaire firebox and a circular drumhead smokebox supported on a curved saddle. A further twenty locomotives, nos. 3332 to 3351, were built between November 1899 and March 1900. Between May and December 1900 a second batch of twenty Camels (as the class were initially known) were built with straight-topped outside frames. These were numbered 3353 to 3372. A third batch, 3413 to 3432 were built between December 1902 and May 1903; these were the last to be built with parallel boilers." Hope this helps! Yes, sadly a lot of train cancellations on the (modern version of the) GWR in recent weeks - seems to be getting worse. Previously, GWR have been one of the better companies in terms of fewer cancellations. Hope it improves soon. I am very familiar with Swindon Station, being at the end of the Golden Valley Line from Gloucester. I often go on to Westbury (via Melksham) and then Devon & Cornwall from there. The Severn Tunnel closure has also been causing chaos, but it was necessary work that needed to be done. Think it is all done now. Such a shame these works were closed - could have been used to build modern electric trains, rather than importing them as now. A waste of skills, infrastrcuture and land. Good that this lovely museum captures what life was like in this incredible loco workshop. Thank you for a wonderful video! Take care, Paul

Good morning Paul. Thanks for your very helpful comments regarding the Camel locomotives. I must admit it was a new one to me. I actually made two trips for that video. The first one last week took me so long to find the place, that I ran out of time. So I made a second trip this Wednesday to cover Swindon Station and the Traverser, plus the beautiful buildings which are still standing. Couldn’t really understand if what's left of the traverser was once inside the assembly shop, or whether it had been recreated for the museum. But it did explain how they got those locomotives inside. Thanks once again for your lovely comments. They're very much appreciated.

But then I was just 8 or 9 years old at the time. It's strange that I can't remember that piece of platform on the end, but it must have been there. I've seen pictures with a footbridge at the road bridge end, but it must have been only for a short while.
