Preserved Railway Narrow Gauge Freight

A collection of slots of demonstration goods trains on narrow gauge preserved lines around the United Kingdom.
We take a look at a variety of narrow gauge locomotives on a mixture of freight stock around Wales and England. Featuring 'Ryam Sugar Company' Davenport 0-4-0 1586 from Statfold Barn Railway visiting the Welsh Highland Railway, where we also see a number of Beyer Garratt NGG16s and the Pioneer Garratt K1 and Hunslet Trangkil No. 4. Visiting the Ffestiniog we see Kerr Stuart 'Diana' (1158), Chuquitanta, Samson (from Beamish) and Maragaret, while home based Hunslet's Hugh Napier, Linda and Blanche are also seen in slate train action. Superb, Joan & Countess are seen on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, while Alice, Holy War and Diana are seen on a variety of freight works. Quarry Hunslets Cloister & Jack Lane are seen at Statfold Barn Railway, alongside Threlkeld Quarry where we also see Irish Mail and Stanhope, amongst other locomotives. Other locations featured include the Isle of Man Steam Railway, West Lancashire Light Railway, Apedale Valley Light Railway and Amerton Railway's.
There is a distinct lack of Ffestiniog Vintage Goods Trains in this volume, next week starts our Narrow Gauge on Saturdays month and the first program will look at Ffestiniog Vintage Goods and Gravity Trains.

Its awsome to see these little guys doin they're business puffing up and down the line doing what they were made to do

[@TylerBenney]

Had this on in the background while doing stuff. Such lovely locos. Fantastic.

Narrow gauge freight and an hour of it awsome

[@Local_Gamer_kid]

6:47 the green engine reminds me of Peter sam, and Edward Thomas.

There is a similar tourist light gauge railway in Australia called the Pichi Richi...........at a place called Quorn. The cane tram rail system in north Queensland by comparison is very extensive and works in a commercial capacity, and is non-steam.

Beautiful!

Great video :)

[@effenbeezeetravel4474]

Thank you . I appreciate this video so much ! Because I dearly would like to see the narrow gauge trains in the U K . I have read about British steam trains since I was a kid but I do not have time to visit them in England so I will try to view some exported victorian steam next time I am in asia !

[@tonyromano6220]

Amazing! UK does something right! This stuff is incredible! How does all this get paid for? Tourists? In the US the taxes on the land alone would kill railroads like this.

[@theautolad9507]

I believe it’s paid partly by the freight the move and some sort of heritage preservation group that the government pay for so they can keep awesome things like this alive 😄 :edit: they also run passenger trains so that will bring some more money in.

[@lincoln9996]

Most railways over here in the UK are funded entirely by the public, be it through ticket sales or donations. Almost none of these actually carry freight for commercial use, hense why all of the wagons in this video are empty. it's just every now and then they'll pull a train of wagons instead of coaches, as it's something you don't usually see. Hope this helped

[@theautolad9507]

@@lincoln9996 oh ok I didn’t know much about how they make money. Thanks

[@allbirdsareedible]

there is the WW&F railway museum in Maine that you can volunteer at and ride on to travel between small towns, all authentic steam locos.

[@megamanx5760]

Actually I the us you probably could run something like this and keep it going

[@delawarefurret]

A yes the scarlowy railway

[@richardjellis9186]

You should have put a label in the top corner of the screen, telling us which railway we were looking at each different clip.! Otherwise... Great video.!😁!.

I quite agree - would have been helpful for me on a visit to UK in next few weeks.

And here I thought freight for railways like this where extinct, but I’m glad I was wrong.

Best ASMR

[@I_like_planesandtrains860]

Totally agree

[@kineticrail]

Excellent as ever. I'm a sucker for some narrow gauge action especially the war department locos. I do like seeing Samson such a quirky little thing. Whats the next subject planned?

[@preservedrailway]

Thanks. Vintage Ffestiniog Freight next week, with some more narrow gauge stuff through September. New video tomorrow from todays The Lakelander with 45231.

[@kineticrail]

@@preservedrailway will look forward to the next installment.

Queste locomotive sono dei veri propri gioielli molto interessanti ho molto gradito questo video

[@giacomomonti2240]

Già, è bello lo scartamento 600 mm. anche se in Italia ce n'erano solo 3/4 di ferrovie con questo scartamento (oggi tutte chiuse e demolite)

[@lowrangemaniac5326]

Io vivo nel sud Italia, in Calabria, e proprio nel territorio del mio paese c'era una ferrovia del tipo Decauville, con lo scartamento a 600mm, e veniva utilizzata per il trasporto di tronchi dalle zone di taglio fino alle segherie dove venivano pre-lavorati e stoccati, per poi essere trasformati in traverse ferroviarie a scartamento ordinario

[@giacomomonti2240]

@@lowrangemaniac5326 Ferrovia San Paola - Lagonegro?

[@lowrangemaniac5326]

@@giacomomonti2240 non esattamente: si tratta di una ferrovia industriale appartenuta alla ormai dismessa ditta boschiva tedesca Rüeping. La linea Paola - Lagonegro era si a scartamento ridotto, ma di 950mm, ed é di tipo "permanente", con massicciata e segnaletica. La peculiaritá delle ferrovie del tipo Decauville, con scartamento di 600mm, é che sono delle ferrovie prefabbricate in fabbrica, un po come i trenini giocattolo per intenderci. Le sezioni di binario erano giá preassemblate in fabbrica e venivano posizionate sul terreno battuto senza la necessitá di massicciata, e potevano essere montate e smontate velocemente, in base alle necessitá del cantiere. In questo caso, la linea ferroviaria poteva essere allungata a mano a mano che i lavori di taglio proseguivano all'interno del bosco, fino a dove era necessario arrivare. E questo tipo di ferrovie, per il fatto che erano di proprietá di industrie private, non avevano bisogno di segnaletica, perché, appunto, venivano utilizzate all'interno della zona industriale. La linea in questione partiva dal comune di Saracena, nella frazione di Zoccalia, ed arrivava nel comune di Spezzano Albanese, e prelevava i tronchi che scendevano dalle montagne tramite una teleferica, e la stessa linea ferroviaria era presente anche in montagna per portare i tronchi dai luoghi di taglio, fino alla stazione a monte della teleferica.

[@giacomomonti2240]

@@lowrangemaniac5326 Grazie della spiegazione, sapevo già la differenza tra ferrovia "normale" e decauville (è presente una anche dove abito io però è di neanche 1 km e serviva per collegare una piccola cava ad una ferrovia a scartamento standard)

[@themechbuilder6171]

1:51 those coal cars seen in the video they have a specific design? and what is that design called like?

[@secondvalveservices9856]

Those are general tipper wagons, they were mainly used on small building sites and areas lie, gravel quarry’s and sand quarry’s, they basically have a singular pivot point of which the wagon top moves, making it easier to tip whatever load is in the wagon out

Fuel oil, like Diesel. Some probably have automatic feeders that feed sawdust, wood chips or coal.

Why pass ten box trucks on your way to work, instead of one narrow gauge train only if you get incredibly unlucky?
