Terrific to see young Jack volunteering. I used to volunteer on Tulyar, and was always worried who’d carry on. Best of luck in your career Jack.

He's certainly a huge asset to our team, as are all our volunteers

@@mjradar he pulls the choke out then turns the ignition key @ 3:55., then let's it idle a few minutes to balance the carbs, he cleans the plugs and gaps the points in video one prior to this one.

@@bonkeydollocks1879 you must have experience with this process but anybody else would not know what is happening

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

@@mjradar it's easy just make sure you pull the choke out, they start easy

Thank you so much. Really enjoyed the Pioneer services 👍 talking of mileage I have covered slightly over 1, 000 miles of haulage just with diesel locomotives. And yes it's on my laptop 😆

[@SevernValleyRailwayOfficial]

Wow - thank you for your kind words. Hopefully we'll see you again for the Pioneer soon

[@gordonbruce2416]

[@Penguins247]

Good video, but it seems really quiet? I usually have my volume set at 7, but I had to turn this up to 36 in order to hear it properly...

[@SevernValleyRailwayOfficial]

We'll take a look at this.

[@stevenwoodhouse2725]

I wonder if one day a class 50 will ever be de refurbished to as built with the Hoover noise again?

[@williamtacey1783]

But autumn steam and Diesel Gala has been cancelled because of Coronavirus always still there until further notice comes up we are waiting patiently see when it happens shall we don’t know before all everything’s will be go back to normal soon.
