Echills Wood Railway 7 1/4" Standard Gauge Weekend 2022

[@Steven_Rowe]

So much admiration for these gifted loco builders. Nice to see A3 Dick Turpin and Great Northern with Gn tender and high cab.

This is another great video. Thank you for bringing these to all of us. I live in Australia (unfortunately) and we don't have anything like this. We don't have parks like these. Our Government won't allow it. If we have locomotives over 5" gauge and parks too big, we must pay public liability insurance and personal injury insurance. Most people just can't afford that so they keep their locos small, like 3" gauge or 5" gauge. There are a few private layouts on peoples properties, which can run 7 1/4" gauge, but they aren't open to the public due to the costs of insurance etc. England and the US have great model parks with awesome layouts. It's a real pleasure to watch these. I always make myself a cuppa and sit down to watch these. Great stuff!

[@ukmodelengineering]

Thank you so much 😀

[@stephengreener2798]

We have UK national club schemes for public liability and personal injury insurance as well. We also have a national scheme for boiler testing so no-one is going to be hit by claims from the public on an individual basis.

[@chambo8115]

You haven't looked hard enough obviously. 7¹/⁴ inch gauge is the primary gauge in Australia

[@adastra1623]

Simply wonderful. No other words.

Here before this most likely pops up on everybody’s recommended

After watching this video of yours, my mind is very happy. This stream engine is very fascinating to me and my humble request to you is that if any damaged engine is gifted to me, I will carefully display it in my showcase. and I will be grateful to you forever. Thank you.

Hi Jason, Yet another superb video. Great to have caught up with you again there. The drone footage looks very steady (well done), if I sent my drone up by any trees, it would still be up there now, (stuck in one). Great video. Cheers, Andy G.

[@ukmodelengineering]

Thanks Andy. It was a great day with lots of lovely engines which are the stars of the video. Maybe see you there next year with your Standard Class 4 ;-)

[@masterpiecesinminiature8299]

@@ukmodelengineering Lol, 75029 will definitely still be in the works dept, but the Holmside will hopefully be on the Arrivals board. Cheers.

[@Sowerbylads]

Another first class video production, well done.

[@ukmodelengineering]

Glad you like them!

[@markfranklin4150]

Another superb video Jason. Great seeing you Saturday.

[@ukmodelengineering]

Thanks! You too!

[@toneault7499]

thanks for that.. i was so busy driving i forgot to take any videos... i was driving the maroon hunslet

[@ukmodelengineering]

No worries

[@danielfrance8693]

An excellent video, thanks owner of the Gwr 1501 👍

[@ukmodelengineering]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheModelav8r]

Great video I’m surprised you didn’t get a single wave from any one of the drivers or passengers. I always wave like mad when I’m filming just to see how many I can get to wave back!👋

[@ukmodelengineering]

Next time!

[@ninalli]

Fantastic footage and such high resolution film. A real treat on a cold winters evening.

[@jaidensrailwayadventures4243]

Very well edited video it was a great weekend 👍🏼

[@ukmodelengineering]

Thanks 👍

[@robvincent1622]

The picture being posed on 71000 looks to be ex Nuneaton fireman Fred Franklin who was a driver at the preserved GCR until recently.

[@Chris-qg6kc]

What kind of hp and or pulling power would one of these have?

[@lulusagungpamuji6027]

keren 👍

BR 92220 Evening Star and BR 71000 Duke of Gloucester

[@nickcarton1564]

Really good as usual. Have you run your own loco here yet?

[@ukmodelengineering]

Not yet! Hopefully next year's rally.

[@alexthomas637]

😎😎😎😎👍

[@stevom111]

I made a thumbnail! Well the loco did!

[@davidcorbett62]

What a superb facility that is to run those beautiful engines on, each one a work of art especially 71000 and the 9F but all of them a credit to their builders and owners

[@alanmaddern8171]

Another good video!! Keep up the good work always looking forward to the next one! Regards Alan

[@ukmodelengineering]

Thanks, will do!

[@BoHolbo]

🙄 Oh great, I’m stuck watching steam locomotive videos. 😀 And I can’t get enough of it! Thanks for uploading all these videos, especially the Model Engineering documentary from the 80’s. Fascinating! I have a question: Have you seen or heard of anyone successfully adding a steam powered dynamo to a locomotive to power the internal lighting of passenger cars, external lighting and so on?

[@ukmodelengineering]

Glad you like them! Yes, I've seen engines from 3 1/2" upwards with working steam dynamos powering lights on the locomotive.

[@connorrobinson1909]

Duke of Gloucester and King George V. Two of the most amazing models I've ever seen. If only I could visit the UK one day.

[@ukmodelengineering]

They are!

[@donotwantahandle1111]

What was that American loco (not the Berkshire)?

[@herbgarratt]

There was a CB&Q M4(a?) 2-10-4, and I *think* a USRA Heavy Mikado (SP).
