That's a nice little railway. I would love to visit it one day.

It's amazing to think that the loco and Dungeness power station basically work in the same way. A solid fuel to produce heat, cooled by water to produce steam to drive a turbine or piston. I think that's how it is, but fun to think of nonetheless. Which rhymes with Dungeness, ha!

Interesting how this driver uses the water injectors. I was taught water on, steam on. Steam off, water off. This was to keep the injector cool as it will not 'pick up' if too hot. This is why they are on the outside of the engine even on full size locos. Much less use of the whistle with the automatic crossings. Have the journey times reduced? But great video bringing back memories of 50 odd years ago, some things don't change!
It would be great to have captions telling us what the driver is doing

Great stuff but boy you really have to know when and when not to stand up in the cab or you could completely lose your head.

It looks to me like the reverser is operating the opposite way to what you would expect. I would have thought you would turn it clockwise for forward and anti clockwise for reverse. So to nick the engine up as your speed increase speed, you might expect to turn it anti clockwise to do so. This looks to be the opposite.

What sort of speed do you achieve on this run it looks fast but that's probably because of the scale but it would be interesting to know none the less?
@practicallyfamous6 жыл бұрын
Barnem13 I heard somewhere it's 25mph, I could be wrong though.
@wfsteam7146 жыл бұрын
The speed limit is 25 mph (75mph scale speed) but the current timetable is written for 20 mph.
