Return to running -Bredgar and Wormshill Railway's First open day of 2021 - Chasing Dinosaurs Ep.5

[@Bluesman678]

Eigiau in the same shot as the Traction engine, echoes of The Titfield Thunderbolt! Great video, really enjoyed it.

[@dustybinproductions4779]

Another railway I strongly suggest visiting is the nearby SKLR, it's a heavily industrial paper mill railway and it's my all time favorite. All the staff are lovely and the trains are all original to the line!

[@UKHeritageRailways]

Absolutely agree. I was lucky enough to have a footplate ride both ways when I visited.

[@SteamLance]

Eigiau was used in the Penrhyn quarry

[@eze8970]

Thanks L.

[@germantanker131johnny2]

Lovely little locos

[@BallZackRamone]

There were quite a few little steam engine on narrow gauge networks in Queensland. Growing up as a child there was a sugar mill close by where the main line ran down the middle of the street , they used to throw a festival once a year and show off the Locomotives past and present... Sadly its long shut down and events like that dont happen at all. would be great to see the old little locomotives pulls some old cane carts around on their former stomping grounds.

A favourite place from my childhood. So many memories. Channel Nearly at 40k now Lawrie, well done!!

[@bradtheghosthunter234]

Hi I was the guard in the hi vis jacket hope you had enjoyed your visit.

[@krakendwaggin]

I like a nice long video like this where I can just get lost within it, great video guys!

[@huwdavies6650]

If you're ever in Ceredigion, (HubNut country) you should pay a visit to The National Trust property at Llanerchaeron. They have an agricultural collection called The Geler Jones collection. Part of which is a steam roller called Glenys.

[@Hener-cm6iv]

The intro gave me sudden and unexpected making tracks vibes, very nice

[@bentullett6068]

I love how they are running the trains here with passenger and freight rolling stock. Not many other railways do this and it's rare to see on standard gauge. The only time I have see a slightly mixed train on a standard gauge steam Railway was at the Midland Railway at Butterly years ago when they did a prototypical branchline passenger train with a LMS 6 wheeled milk tanker in tow. By the way the green and yellow tractor was a Lanz tractor built when John Deere had finally brought out their factory in Mannheim, Germany. John Deere still build tractors there today.

[@ConnorsWorkshop17]

Nice 👍

Eigiau. Is my favourite

Excellent I'm a fan of bredgar as well such a lovely collection and all beautifully looked after. Have you ever been to or heard about the Richmond light railway just down the road from bredgar

[@upwellonwards7373]

truly fantastic video mainly loved the steamers but i also like how there was an NZGR Ab class pacific in the intro

It's super isn't it

[@kimkiriniki9433]

Thoroughly enjoyable video, many thanks.

[@markythemark1972]

Excellent episode - I am one of the many volunteers who work here at Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway. For your information the loco named 'EIGIAU' is actually pronounced - let's try to do this... Ee-Eye-gee-eye Pronounce the gee as in geese

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Wow! Brilliant! :-)

[@dustpanandthebrush5293]

Fantastic bean's lad excellent

Love your channel lawrie. Especially lmm. Keep doing what your doing! 👍😁🇬🇧

OH YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelmiller641]

It was truly a lovely day and event, and it was nice to have a chat with you, Lawrie

[@pbyfr]

The O&K are very neat. This one is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@SteamLance]

And Eigiau is roughly pronounced A (like in May)-gee-i

[@BenPowellModels]

I always thought it was pronounced Eye-gow.

[@SteamLance]

@@BenPowellModels Nope, its a Welsh name and I am from Wales

[@BenPowellModels]

@@SteamLance thanks, I'll start pronouncing it properly now :)

[@sarahhall738]

Great as always

[@ajaxengineco]

At around 5:40 you can hear 'Dixie's Land' playing in the background.

[@MattChiversWorkshop]

50:26 are you sure you want that happening in the background of your railway Laurie? She must have cold hands 😂

[@stefanhowick2961]

lawrie i really really love & enjoy your videos that you do thank you.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I’ve never heard a diesel locomotive making a caelike noise from its hooter!! It has a hooter like the hooter on my old 1988 Volvo 340!!

[@guypenryn7008]

Was the museum and sheds open? Have they done some more work looks different from my last visit? Have you been on the sittingbourne and kemsley industrial railway and seen the fire less engine?

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Hay lawrie in the movie hacksaw ridge in one of the scenes there’s a yellow train running in the background could you see if you can find out what tap of engine was pulling it looks like a two foot gage fort engine

[@richardbrobeck2384]

thanks for the great video !!

[@mikrieltje]

I really like the smaller engines

[@ABrit-bt6ce]

This video has an oddly seventies vibe to it. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Grand Slam would be 22 of that (1000lb) bomb in one place at the same time. Not a little thing.

[@campingstoveman]

Enjoyed the video, shame you only spent 10 seconds on my main hobby, stationary Engines.

[@BenPowellModels]

Great video Lawrie, when are you going to bring James to Statfold Barn?

[@Madonsteamrailways]

By the way, I was wondering from whence the American fire engine came. The Aerial La France fire engine was discontinued in 1994. They had one of the last ones in Shelbyville, Indiana when I visited my cousins.

[@eliotreader8220]

that brass plate looks like it needed a bit of brasso metal polish

[@PaulinesPastimes]

The double header with all the freight wagons was a standout for me. Shame they only ran it at the end and your opportunity for different shots was limited. Very pretty locos and rolling stock. :-)

[@lmm]

It was a great end to the day though

[@PaulinesPastimes]

@@lmm Yes. That's true enough. 😊

[@tamarmolerick3814]

Lovely railway; although like a lot of new build railways it feels more like a large miniature railway rather than a narrow gauge railway.

[@bentullett6068]

The Statfold Barn Railway is pretty much the same as some enthusiasts decided that building a narrow gauge railway on a plot of land was easier than restoring a existing one. Plus they can run what they want locomotive and rolling stock wise.

[@tamarmolerick3814]

@@bentullett6068 Whilst I wouldn't question the superb quality of the work done at either Bredgar or Statfold I feel that things are almost too nice and shiny and consequently have more in common with a miniature railway rather than a narrow gauge railway. There is an indefinable narrow gauge vibe that both these railways are lacking which other new build railways like Apedale have in bucket loads.

[@bentullett6068]

@@tamarmolerick3814 I actually agree the Apedale is very industrial. I have yet to visit the Chasewater and Foxhill railways as they are also really industrial standard gauge railways.

[@jonesthesteam]

Great video! It is such a shame that not many people have heard of it before. It has a great variety of heritage vehicles such as many steam trains and diesel trains, classic cars, tractors, a French portable steam engine, a steam roller, an operational beam engine and an beautiful traction engine. Nice to see the traction engine in action. If you visit again soon, you might be able to see the beam engine in action.

[@ORV1868]

Let me ask the following questions. 1) Is this railway open for the season? 2) Where is it?

[@stuartross282]

No passengers trains just freight demonstrations

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Good evening Laurie!! I see you’re testing a lovely little steam locomotive or two? Is that a Standard Gauge railway, or is it narrow gauge?

[@alexhando8541]

Eigiau is pronounced "Ay gee eye" (the "g" in gee, as in Gold)

[@sawyerawr5783]

Is it just me or does the decauville not like curves? seems like I hear a lot of groaning and ringing as it goes around
