My nan and grandad's garden literally has a fence at the end with the track like 2 metres away. I grew up running down the garden whenever I heard a whistle or the wheels to watch them go past right in front of me. Truly one of the best parts of my childhood.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video over the years. Thanks so much for the Cab view!! As a 7.5” guy here in the USA, it’s been a dream to come visit you all someday. I cannot even begin to comprehend the track work necessary for these speeds. Well done, gentlemen!!

If you do, try to get onto the end carriage : refreshments car (sometimes). Remember to (1) take out any dentures (or they will be ejected at some time), (2) remove any hats to avoid contact with roof, (3) have something to sit on to reduce numbness, and (4) ignore the locals, who will delight in waving as you go past, and laughing as you try to look dignified with your knees under your chin. It's great fun!

Fantastic video. Intermediate stop at Dymchurch 17:40 with level crossing & happy kids on the platform. Note the stretch of poor track the Diesel is traversing causing it to rock alarmingly 18:55. Only small complaint is that we never got a view of the carriages.

I was asking because I import Welsh coal into New Zealand and Australia and had a request from a small gauge railway like RH&DR in Australia. I think you use to use Polish coals and they were not so good. Now your back on Welsh it should be fine. Brilliant footplate video. Thank you so much.

Jay Ritch yeah it is fast. I work on a 7.25 inch miniature railway in the South Devon Railway (South Devon Miniature Railway) and our track speed is only 5mph! Certainly feels fast on our tight corners and steep gradients but it is nothing compared to this!

Jay Ritch yep - all railways, regardless of scale (well perhaps anything greater than gauge 1), are dangerous places. They are no place to be mucking about and those rules are there for a reason. Our locomotives can still weigh 300kg or more and that makes for a deadly force if abused. Locomotives on the RHDR must be weighing around a tonne at least but they are just as dangerous as our locomotives. 20 mph is definitely fast for a miniature railway but then so is 5 mph for our track. It's all about safety!

How often do you rake the fire? Guess it is to remove the clinker, even out the firebed. What fuel and size do you use? Cracking pace there, certainly difficult to drink a cup of tea. Brilliant.

Hayden Brown each driver rakes the fire when they feel like it is needed to be attended to. On that day the only time that the fire was raked was nearing the end of the day. The fuel is a welsh coal I believe

The hats are called greasetops, they are cinder- and water-proof, and are the traditional British headgear for steam loco work. When it rains you have a choice of how wet you want to get (although at least the hat is waterproof!). RHDR locos are single-manned the driver does both firing and driving. Yes, it is hard work.

Engine springing is a lot stiffer than the carriages because of the weight.Driver gets a better ride sitting in the tender. The engine is 20 odd tonnes! Track is notoriously labour intensive to keep in good repair but is fine for the speeds concerned. 20mph max
