Blue skies and steam during the 'Missed & Greatly Needed' Gala at the W&RR Chasing Dinosaurs Ep. 10

[@thurstablelane7567]

It was a pleasure to host you Lawrie! Really glad you came and enjoyed our little event. 👍👍

[@lmm]

It was a great day out. Looking forward to the next one!

That little whistle at the end of the intro was rather perfect.

[@timclarke6087]

I was one of the young volunteers who helped clear the cattle dock of debris and vegetation back in the very early days of the W&R, when I was in the NNR’s Junior club. We spent the morning and early afternoon doing that and the rest of the afternoon driving Annie up and down

[@lmm]

That's a good day out

[@myriaddsystems]

Such cute little locos!

[@nickscontractingservices3408]

If you're ever lincs bound there's one of these Barclay engines and many other little engines at the lincs wolds railway

[@lmm]

I would like to film there

[@krakendwaggin]

Seemed like a glorious day for filming! Really liking the custom Hi-Viz too!

[@lmm]

We're pretty chuffed with them too

Fantastic video Lawrie of the gala event at the Whitwell & Reepham Railway 👍👍 Sad to see Victory is going to be withdrawn after the event, but wow to Agecroft 3 which looks lovely in two types of blue livery.

[@lmm]

They've done a really good job with it!

[@andrewentwistle515]

Wow what a great day of train filming for such a lovely railway. It was nice to see both tank engines working together & separately as well. I look forward to seeing the next episode of Chasing Dinosaurs.🙂👍👍

[@lmm]

Glad to here you enjoyed it!

[@benjaminhack47]

Farewell Victory, Fair weather as well for a last hurrah!

[@lmm]

They were so lucky with the weather!

[@Steam_Guy02]

There's someone that did a short film of one of the engines based here (annie)-i think it's gandydancer productions, about the last privately owned steam railway. The film is called the day Stan left and is well worth a watch for anyone interested in industrial steam, or just steam in general

[@lmm]

I'll have a look

[@garyhardwick8489]

A great little video!

[@lmm]

Thank you very much!

[@Spiro20004]

very nice to see agecroft finally running, i was fortunate to spend a few months with the restoration team helping them to get it running again, wish i could have been there to see it in steam

The locomotive being withdrawn: Can we hope that she'll receive her necessary overhaul and inspection, and be returned to service?

With enough volunteers and donations yes!

Great stuff I was there on the Saturday a great event my first time seeing the railway operating. I noticed the Barclay under overhaul that's at Chatham is up to sale on of all things Facebook market.

[@lmm]

Very well timed!

[@bentullett6068]

That's another interesting railway I have never been to before, looks a great little railway. It operates in a very similar way to The Telford Steam Railway as their line consists of a short run from one siding station which goes onto what will at some stage be the main line of that railway, through a tunnel to the terminus station. The train then reverses back down through the tunnel continues past the siding station it started at and then stops at one of the original stations on the line. Just to let people know in the first week of April the Severn Valley Railway are hosting The Open House Weekend where people can take a look behind the scenes of some parts of the railway that aren't always open to the public, at Bewdley we will may have our shed open on Saturday where people can see a LNER teak coach being restored.

[@lmm]

Oh that sounds like it's worth a look!

[@alextopley2657]

Lovely little railway this one really need to visit again. Any plans to extend it do you know? Shame the actual platform is now a foot path too.

[@lmm]

They have exciting plans in the pipeline!

[@JanPieterGerritsen]

So am I the only one? So I suppose "its ticket is expired" should mean something for the people at the rail but I just miss that bit of extra info on what that means and what that means for the engine. I hope it just means it needs a new boiler but really: enlighten me.

[@lmm]

In the UK boilers are certified to have a ten year operational period. There are annual check ups, but after that ten year, a full strip down and rebuild is required.

[@brucehewson5773]

Victory is a very quiet engine... smooth running.

[@lmm]

Lovely little thing

does Victory have a Stanier Hooter on it?

Yes.

Great isn't it.

It certainly sounds a lot deeper than most Andrew Barclay whistles. :D

[@Snupple]

Lawrie, can you try and do some older Planets?

[@lmm]

I'm working on it!

[@markgilbert7387]

That model 37 at 14 minutes is rather smart. Any other info about it from the operator?

I spoke to the gentleman and explained I thought it was super cool. That's about it though I'm afraid!

[@tommytv686]

Lawrie where can I get me one of those lovely hi vis vests with your logo on? :)

[@lmm]

I'm afraid we're keeping them just for LMM team members. They're pretty cool though,

[@markwright3161]

ph can be pronounced f in a few situations. Sulphate is one example, I believe American's spell it sulfate. Sulphur (again, English spelling), etc is the same, although I think it might have changed to the US spelling here now too, or one of them anyway. It seemed to change spelling while I was learning chemistry in school, I learned to spell everything sulphur related with 'ph' at GCSE then it seemed to become replaced with 'f' by A level, (or maybe that was just a school textbook thing, old books being replaced when 2 schools joined at that time).

[@lmm]

I'm sure that is the correct way, I like mine though 😂

[@BrownMatthew1995]

It’s quite alarming that there are people leaning out of the window of the door by the loco when it isn’t shut properly.

[@dmanlewis]

That door is locked off and not in use. If it is the door I think you are looking at. It has a sign, but it is on the window.

[@lmm]

I think from what I've read, that's how that door is.

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

As usual lawrie & friends going loco and is it going for rebuild or going on display

[@Living_Life_RN]

I’m guessing restoration for when agecroft goes out of service

[@lmm]

Depends how much work is required. Hopefully just overhaul

[@jedimasterknobei]

Reepham sounding like Ree-fram, is down to the ph making a f sound. this is like the one time I can make a KZbin Comment with my background in English Writing Education

[@lmm]

I have been schooled!

[@silvestrorusso1207]

Wait so what will happen to the locomotive?

[@crazyfvck]

@Silvestro Russo I'm assuming it is going in for its 10 year inspection. They will strip it down and inspect everything. Usually takes a year or two.

[@silvestrorusso1207]

Ok

[@lmm]

It'll be stripped down and they'll make a decision to if they'll overhaul it or not.

[@Karagianis]

I can see how Reepham could be pronounced Reefam. It's a PH, so it could sound like a F if you treat it like in say Pharmacy, so it's got more logic to it than some places I've been to.

[@lmm]

That makes sense I guess

[@alexthomas637]

[@KL74_IRE]

I don't understand what going out of ticket means

[@lmm]

A steam locomotive in the UK has a boiler ticket. This lasts ten years. When that's over it needs a complete strip down to be recertified
