My first experience at The Nene Valley Railway.

[@peterbradbury1592]

WOW as you say, “OH MY DAYS” what a day that was. I bet you and Ryan were as happy as a “PIG IN S-T. A wonderful video by both of you, makes me want to visit. Sir Nigel Gresley was the icing on the cake, lovely bit of kit. Thanks for sharing Ryan & Purple

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

I think you should visit Peter. It would be nice to see the big green loco running

[@keithcoles9217]

Thankyou for putting the video together. I’ve done the shed tour many times. One of the few heritage railways that allow guided visits. You’ll learn so much more on another visit. The independent ‘Railworld’ is interesting in its own right. The remains of the LNWR engine shed are visible, as is the small turntable, in that area.

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

You are so welcome Keith. Thank you for watching

[@EastMidlandsProductions]

Been there a lot in the past, its a great railway

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Yh it's epic and I finally get to see it

[@stevewareing8525]

WOW..WOW..WOW! Phenomenal video Dave. Purple Railways truly nailed the "Purple'ish" train, hats off for getting some seriously interesting angles on the shunt move and prime positions for the journey. 👌👍

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Steve. I have to say I'm quite proud of some of those angles. Thanks for watching matie

[@MarcLudford]

Smells like granddad's shed ?? Thomas's boiler ?? 😂😮😂 What is this lunacy I wonder

[@MarcLudford]

Nerd alert nerd alert oh god !!

[@alanwinn5844]

Well what one can say a great video more of this please. Keep up up the good work. Do more of this i think your channel will grow big time. Once again well done.

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Thank you Alan. Means a lot. Its quite hard for me to travel with this beautiful family to pay for. I'll try to get out there more.

[@jonellison7223]

Absolutely brilliant video Dave, I've been there many times. A great little preserved line. Wonderful.❤

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Thanks John. Quite an amazing place. Lots of local history on display at Peterborough end. It's a shame there is really a museum at Wansford end. Well there is but it's a Mick Gorge portacabin

[@thebear3178]

Seen you on the platform at Peterborough NVR. Excellent drone videos and enjoyed the Wansford shed tour.

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Thank you very much. I let my inner child lead the way and I'm so glad I do. Thanks for watching

Nice video sir

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Cheers John

[@ironorequarry7011]

Brilliant video. Did you spot all the loco’s that were employed in the ironstone quarries…? I saw three. The tour of the loco sheds was brilliant. Stephen

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Yh I saw 2. Thanks for watching Stephen

[@ironorequarry7011]

@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures The three are Two Rolls Royce diesels one worked at Oxfordshire Ironstone. The other worked at Corby. Then there is Hunslet loco ‘Jacks Green’ worked at Nassington. The class 14 D9529 worked at Buckminster quarries and at Corby works. Finally when you joined the train at Peterborough you were walking, was where the LNWR had some loco sheds. I did go round them many years ago before they were pulled down. Stephen

[@D.Salter]

You should come visit us at Rocks By Rail - Cottesmore! (near Melton Mowbray) It's a great day out and lots to see. Our next open day is the 30th July which features the quarry open too. Just suggestion but it would be great to see you!

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

It's been on the list for a little while now. Ever since I discovered Cranford Quarry and delved into it's history. The website is pretty epic for information

[@D.Salter]

@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures It certainly is epic. It's currently being updated as we speak due to the out of date look. Let us know if you stop by! (Or ask for Daniel!)

[@CustomiZe_]

Ahh that's a huge shame that the Swedish Tank engine isn't coming back but I understand that trying to get parts for it is like getting hens teeth. From the state it is in i kinda expected that if it was to come back it would be a very long time 😂

[@CustomiZe_]

You also should've carried on further back into the Royal Mail shipping container at Overton as you can go into the cab of the 325 👍

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Yh somebody did say

[@MtbAddict109]

As seen in 2 Bond films!

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Two you say. Cool

[@MtbAddict109]

@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures Yes important scenes in both Octopussy and GoldenEye were filmed here

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Thanks Keith. Great to see ya today.

[@mattgallon8790]

We keep looking to get tickets but don’t understand what we are paying for? River ticket means I can travel all lines, but what trains will we be going on? Steam, diesel, electric??? When is steam on?? The website isn’t much help and they never answer the phones! 🥺

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Not a clue. It's a rare visit for me

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

Do they still have anything swedish?

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

yes but im not sure. Watch the video as a full shed tour is included

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]
