HUGE miniature railway! - Coate Water, Swindon with beautiful miniature locomotives

[@JoeGitface]

Those 'Westerns' and 'Warships' look amazing!

[@OtakuAzrall]

Great video! Swindon has two best kept secrets, the Coate Water Railway and the Swindon & Cricklade Railway - both well worth a visit if you're a train nut.

[@dandumitriu9739]

how lovely this is! never knew these existed!

[@steamsearcher]

We have now been to Swindon 2 times and enjoyed every minute. Helping out at Halloween was mad with the shear numbers going through. Dressed up of course. Robert is one of the nicest guys you could meet and a great friend. We were in fact chatting by a model track yesterday. My current design is in 7 1/4" and based on a lawnmower. All B S 450 of course. Some will get the joke. Love from David and Lily.

[@UndergroundEric]

I had a smashing day there to be honest! They were a friendly bunch too and its a nice long track. Id go back with the steamer next time for sure. Rob is a legend to be honest! Top chap. Have a good christmas 😀

[@nigelbevan8449]

What a fantastic miniature railway.... Your class 20 is absolutely brilliant and very detailed.... Also like the class 50 hoover.... I take my hat off to you, well done...

[@UndergroundEric]

Thanks a bunch mate. Very kind. The 50 is owned by a close friend along with the westerns ect, a top modeller he is!

[@Flymochairman1]

That's a very nice place! Looked like a fun day-out. Nice work on the Class 20 and the driving truck too. Cheers Eric.

[@UndergroundEric]

Cheers

[@thebritfarmer]

Great job on the 20 ! Looks well smart.

[@UndergroundEric]

Thanks scott! Its coming along!

[@donnamarie3617]

Excellent video, my compliments from New Zealand. Always love the Western, your class 20 is beautiful with the trim in place, and I was floored by the GBRf class 50. All amazing, and all with sound. Keep safe, looking forward to your next production. Definitely subscribed.

[@UndergroundEric]

Thanks a bunch! The 50 is a lovely bit of kit for sure!

[@philipgardner7360]

Great stuff out living the dream in these covid times. Wonderful !!

[@UndergroundEric]

Gotta enjoy the summer bud! 🙂

[@PossumMedic]

I like your steam one more but these look fun too! "MET" car turned out great! :D

[@UndergroundEric]

They are still good fun! Yeah not too bad is it 🙂

[@PossumMedic]

@@UndergroundEric I think a lot of the fun for me would be making the engines! :D

[@mikepringle5523]

Yesssss coate water! 🥳

[@stevenvater2681]

Always loved westerns

[@walesandwest]

nice one eric, i wish i has my class 37 up and running now so i can go to places like this, maybe one day, i wonder if you can fine out the name of the music or song when you go back to the railway after the wagon build ,

[@paulhayward9047]

I do like the 12in to the foot guage .But I do like it very much well done

[@StaxRail]

Oh my lord, it's a small world! Rob did my 5th birthday party at the RSME in Reading (best party ever, and first time I drove a loco!), had a whale of a time and had many a ride behind his steam loco, Polar Star! Last saw him at the OOC open day with the ochre whizzo, good to know its still going!

[@UndergroundEric]

Oh amazing! He is a great chap, i was at the ooc open day too ( i worked there) but i didnt know him at the time sadly!

[@StaxRail]

@@UndergroundEric agreed, wonderful guy!

[@UndergroundEric]

@@StaxRail he is coming for a run with us this saturday too 😁

[@StaxRail]

@@UndergroundEric brilliant!

[@Dccrailways831]

Hi Eric! Great video, one of my favourites. Don’t suppose you know what controller the class 50 had do you? I never seen one quite like it.

[@francisdukes1596]

Amazing video

[@marcusjunction4464]

[@UndergroundEric]

Always worth seeing whats local! Lots hidden away

[@andrewdarley8988]

Would have loved some details as to what those ;hydraulics; and other diesel locos actual mechanisms.

[@UndergroundEric]

In this scale most including all of these are battery powered with electric motors and then an additional sound system. Ive seen a couple petrol powered setups which are kinda cool though.

[@Rivenworld]

Awesome looking engines, I see you have a third rail,presumably that's for the other gauge?

[@UndergroundEric]

The extra rail is because the track is dual gauge, the 5” locos run on the inner rail, the 7&1/4” stuff runs on the outer 🙂

[@387FanGatwick]

I had a nightmare last night when I was sleeping about 2 trains crashing together and my nightmare came true and then I heard a crash in my model railway room and a a stock crashed into a class 378 for no reason and I was so surprised when it happened for the first time in my life ?!

[@chrisst8922]

I don't remember this episode of Land Of The Giants.

[@UndergroundEric]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@trevorworgan1098]

Very nice video Good to see you back Excuse the ignorance why is there a third rail ? Thanks

[@UndergroundEric]

Thanks Trevor, its a dual gauge track, the outer rail is for 7&1/4 gauge trains, the 5” stuff uses the inner one

[@trevorworgan1098]

What a turn around ! Many thanks from the south west of France Keep em coming thanks

[@johnjmc]

[@UndergroundEric]

The diesels in this scale are 99% of the time battery powered at 24V with a sound system.

[@D2999-o4q]

[@UndergroundEric]

[@yajhochannel3289]

[@oakridgecrossover3359]

Haven't been there in so long even though I live near it, Saw you was going somewhere with 5" gauge and my gut told me you was there 🤦‍♂️

[@UndergroundEric]

[@TanVasinTrains]

[@UndergroundEric]

[@TanVasinTrains]
