My New Class 20 5”Gauge loco + Rescuing an A3!

[@HumancityJunction]

When you were talking about getting a garden railway, I did not imagine this. Ollie, the loco and cars look great. Congrats!!

[@WardleRestorations]

This isn’t my garden but that Is my loco 😆cheers mate!

[@KeretaDensha]

Please roll the train at night so i can see the lights on. Nice collection 👍

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

It really is very impressive. The work makes the fun that much more special! Cheers, Ollie!

[@WardleRestorations]

Thank you Anthony super glad you enjoyed!

[@simonjerryncf1987]

A3 looked stunning

[@colinwykes1833]

Ahh a laid back Ollie, a truly amazing sight :) :) :) and then Ollie comes to the recue, what a man to have on your side. Love the new locomotive, thanks Ollie your one very cool guy !!!!!

[@WardleRestorations]

Glad you enjoyed mate, plenty more to come

[@daciatravel.647]

Wonderful little railway! 👍👍👍📹🚅🚅

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Love the Class 20 , the guy who built it did a great job and it will look very good in it's new livery..Cheers Kev

[@WardleRestorations]

Cheers Kev, yeh he was sad to see it go! Can’t wait to get the painting finished

[@J94-r8b]

Awesome video Ollie, I'm glad you are painting it into the London Underground livery just like 20227, Looking forward to be seeing updates on how the repaint went. You now have two lovely locos, Stay safe :)

[@WardleRestorations]

Thanks j94! Glad you enjoyed mate

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

I don't like diesels, but I do hope poor Papyrus has recovered from her coupling rod issue. Reminds me of my model B2 Peckett engine Westminster, who broke one of her own coupling rods. The 0-6-0 saddle tank engine is in the storage room of Chester Model Shop, awaiting spare parts.

[@WardleRestorations]

Sadly as far as I’m aware, Papyrus is still in the workshop!

[@oliverbrelsford5472]

The very definition of a diesel electric loco!

[@foxhillrailway2252]

Ollie great video as always... Loved the Blue 2P... and your "shunters' wagon"... your Class 20 is a beast and the sound system... Ollie your 20 was in the right place at the right time...lol and you got the Pullmans too ha ha

[@WardleRestorations]

Thanks as always for the kind words mate, glad you enjoyed the video! Yeh I absolutely love the new loco!

[@isctony]

9:16 had me laughing hahaha

[@2010ditta]

All the models looked great Ollie. Very enjoyable.. with an un-planned ending. lol Take care mate.

[@WardleRestorations]

Take care Tim!

[@cadenthecadburyengine8198]

Nice new locomotive Ollie!

[@WardleRestorations]

Thanks Caden!

[@bollinvalleyrailway]

Excellent, I know Eric personally and while i went round to build my own loco with Eric i Remember him building this loco. I will try and point him in the direction of this.

[@WardleRestorations]

Please do! Got loads more updates on it including repainting it into LUL livery which can be found on the ‘Wardle Road’ Facebook page!

[@James-Akers]

Ooh a class 20 in London transport livery. How to make eric jealous 😂. Great video as ever ollie really enjoying the 5" atm Stay safe James

[@WardleRestorations]

Very true he’s gotta 1 up me now 😆😆 really glad you enjoyed mate 👏👏

[@UndergroundEric]

1 up incoming 😂

[@WardleRestorations]

Eric French why you gotta do me like that 🥺

[@UndergroundEric]

Wardle Road for the fans 💃🏻😂

[@WardleRestorations]

*blocks your number*

[@SammyBFilms]

Love it!! What a place! :-)

[@WardleRestorations]

It really is!

[@mcbenman1793]

Fascinating and magnificent video as always. Victor looks like a very happy class 20 and its nice to see people who are so dedicated to this magnificent hobby, and you are a brilliant train driver. Both the blue and London underground liveries look good. Also whats it like working on the underground.

[@WardleRestorations]

Really glad you enjoyed mate, I’m so pleased with the loco, especially once it’s all been painted! Working on the underground can be quite stressful but each day there’s something different!

[@garybyrne2605]

Great run.

[@bentullett6068]

Once you have painted it in the London transport livery you need to make some S stock tube trains. I usually see 4 class 20 locomotives along with 4 old fuel tanker barrier wagons towing London transport S stock from Derby to the London. Usually I see them at Dorridge station near where I live usually waiting for clearance to continue their journey, it's a very interesting train to see.

[@WardleRestorations]

S stock locos would be great but wouldn’t know where to start with making them! Feel free to subscribe for more!

[@COBO2]

When was it built? How long did it take to build? How is the locomotives and tracks powered? Is there a manufacturer like Hornby and Bachman that build locos and rolling stock? Or do you have to build them yourself? There’s so many questions.

[@WardleRestorations]

It took my friend 25 years to build! Track isn’t powered, locos have batteries and steam trains run on steam!

[@COBO2]

Wardle Road 25 years wow 😮

[@vitorcraft2042]

Diesel life starting great

[@steveharper5536]

Wow that's an awesome model Ollie, loved the other loco's as well, I think a lot of people like to see the 5" I know I do, so please carry on sharing it along with the other WR projects. Pus a video on the repaint of your class 20's repaint would be mega.

[@WardleRestorations]

I’ve started painting already but I’ll try film the rest of the process!

[@HarrysBahnen]

and again a great video, best regards from Harry, Germany's best train formation, from the original to the model, all trains from all epochs in Germany, in the model, Harry

[@WardleRestorations]

Thanks Harry 👏👏👏

[@MervynPartin]

Pity about that lovely A3. Even models are subject to failures, unfortunately. I may be wrong but it looks like the rearmost wheel has shifted on the axle- not keyed? (I don't know if quartering is the right term to use for a 3 cylinder loco with the cranks set to 120 degrees). Luckily, your class 20 was on hand for the rescue. Excellent choice of livery for the repaint, by the way- I've always been a fan of the London Underground.

[@WardleRestorations]

I believe it was an axle issue and by the sounds of it, not an easy fix! Cant say I know too much about steam loco maintenance, especially something of that scale. The LUL livery is coming along nicely!

[@ompwak]

I wish I knew where thsi was in the country because it seems an amazing thing that I would want to visit if possible

[@gamerfan8445]

Do got plans to make or built a P2

[@WardleRestorations]

I’m afraid I don’t sorry

[@normanrowe2831]

That was great Ollie. See ya.

[@WardleRestorations]

Thanks Norman!

[@COBO2]

To have a railway like that would be a dream but to have it my garden I would have to have a bigger garden..

I can only dream

[@MidlandProductions]

Believe it or not I'm a train lover. But, why diesels steam power where the start and the best at 1812

[@WardleRestorations]

nothing wrong with diesels!

[@robbyboy03]

Brilliant work. How long would it have taken you to build it? Anazing

[@WardleRestorations]

Robert Turner that took the chap 25 years! My loco is currently in the process of being repainted, stay tuned for more updates! Stay safe Robert 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@McMetro]

Great video, and great new loco! It will be fantastic to see it in the new livery! Anybody mention a double headed class 20? 😂

[@WardleRestorations]

Don’t make me get another one 😂

[@stampycatfan01lol]

Are the two-tones just car horns? If so, that’s clever!

[@WardleRestorations]

Medium Approach Medium Productions I think so!

[@mastertrams]

Somehow, I get the sense that the future episode featuring the shunter's wagon is inspired by a previous comment of mine. But in all seriousness, this is a great video, and I can't wait for the next one.

[@mastertrams]

12:47 "Ladies and Gentlemen, despite the motive power issues we are currently experiencing, the express train around the loop will still be operating, courtesy to the kindness of the Caledonian Railway"

[@WardleRestorations]

Really appreciate the kind words! Got so much content on the way it’s just a matter of filming it and editing it all 😂😂

[@mastertrams]

And now I'm getting vibes if "Edward's Exploit"

[@mastertrams]

@@WardleRestorations Always the most to consuming part!

[@WardleRestorations]

100%!

[@jayzo]

I actually quite like the sound of the electric motors on your Class 20 tbh. How much does something like that cost to build?

[@WardleRestorations]

I got the loco for £1400 and since then have added the Mtroniks sound system which is around £230

[@benlahrman4149]

A class 37 would be nice

[@donkatthree913]

Say where do you buy these models? :o

[@JHAVERI-mt4qc]

Excellent, can you also make videos of making these stuff. This will be helpful/ guide to many of us to fulfill our dreams of making model trains as hobby .

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Love that. What was the cost if u dont mind me asking

[@WardleRestorations]

Of the class 20? Around 1,400 🥺🥺

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Wardle Road WOWCHA 😬

[@WardleRestorations]

Matthew Snowden Shunter Guy don’t tell my missus 😆😭

[@saltleywsc]

Nice Loco !

[@WardleRestorations]

Thank u mate

[@alangregory1806]

Galgorm Hall knows a transfer maker for the logo. good video thanks.

[@WardleRestorations]

Il drop him a message!

[@Pennington_TMD]

Is the class 20 yours Ollie?

[@WardleRestorations]

It is indeed 😁😁😁

[@hugothomas1199]

Someone has a 5 inch gauge Thomas the Tank Engine (edit 2) his name is or KZbin channel is JH55000

[@Not_honest_enough]

Hes slightly going into the present time Imagine him buying a american cargo train in 5 gauge Or a high speed train

[@hugothomas1199]

Well I like this I just found this because Trains! Also what happens when it crashes? You said it was heavy!

[@WardleRestorations]

Just take a lot of effort to get it back on the track! Havnt had that issue yet! Fingers crossed 🤞 😂

[@hugothomas1199]

Ok

[@patricias1213]

We enjoyed the video and wondered if you are ever opened to the public as we are not far from you and would love to see it for ourselves?

[@WardleRestorations]

Patricia S I did reply to your email!

[@patricias1213]

Wardle Road you didn’t say if we can I visit the sawvesey site ?

[@WardleRestorations]

He’s not open to the public!

[@fawsinkchicken]

Can u link this address to me because I’m a huge railfan myself tbh

[@WardleRestorations]

The real Sans it’s a private garden so not open to the public unfortunately

[@Rule1ModelRailways]

[@WardleRestorations]
