Nice video Joseph. I had intended going to Elsecar myself but didnt make it. William is a real smokey beast. Thanks for posting and letting me see what I missed.

@iantrack Thanks for the comment. This was the first time we had filmed a steam Sentinel. It was due to run some brakevan rides but they altered the timetable because there were more passengers than would fit in a brakevan. Regards Joseph

Thanks for the info. Hope to visit Elsecar again when the spring comes. Regards Joseph

@mollsmyre Hi, Tommy. Unfortunately 'Mardy Monster' is on loan somewhere but it will be back soon. We would have liked it to see it going up the hill. There had been a model railway show in the heritage centre so there was a few more visitors to the railway. 'William' isn't powerful enough to move the two coaches up the hill. That's why it was coupled up to the Hunslet. Regards Joseph

The crossing is due to be put in place one March 13th I believe.

@981smithy Hi, Phil. This was the first time we went to Elsecar. We'll probably go again if Peckett 'Mardy Monster' is running. When they've raised enough funds, they hope to put a level crossing at the current terminus and extend another mile to a retail park. Regards Joseph

nice to see Gervase now complete and running at the Great Central the other week, too.

Hi Andrei. We called in today to see how the new crossing was getting on and to film The Mardy Monster. At this stage I dont think we will KZbin it as it was a bit windy. Regards Joseph

I've been an enthusiast since 1990 and gone on heritage lines most weekends since then but I've never seen a Sentinel railway engine in steam, even though I've always wanted to. That BP diesel sounds a bit different. It sounds almost exactly like a racing hovercraft.

Hi William. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I remembered it being an enjoyable day. It was something different to see the Sentinel. Went back about a year ago to see how they were getting on with the extension but didnt put it on KZbin. I think they might be ready soon. Regards Joseph

Sweet little sentinel

[@AndreiTupolev]

That Hunslet's quite a noisy thing. Sounds a bit like a Detroit Diesel.
