Thanks for this video. Must be 25 years since I visited fox field, must take the family sometime. My first visits, they started from a field next to the colliery and the incline. Bet not many of the current volunteers remember that.

[@wellchuffedrailways]

I'm sure there are a few who will remember.

[@dannyvanstraelen3273]

Wow isn’t the roadside summer growth lush!!

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

the pacer has a special place in my heart as after many years of my father working as a British rail guard and after many rides and cab rides shared my final rail journey with him whilst he was working was on a regional railways liveried pacer end of an era even though they were awful , remember them being developed in the mid 70s promissed so much that they never delivered but none the less a huge part of railway history

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Hi Shakey, yes they certainly did a much needed job and I wouldn't actually mine one on our layout. Interest that your Dad was a guard on British Rail as well, I bet the cab rides were a treat!All the best Rick

[@tommcg666]

i could never drive on the left side of the road, great show, nice views.

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Thanks but I'm sure you would get used to it. 😀

[@brianwillson9567]

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Thanks for watching David

[@hotdogpilot6319]

We rarely see a "full" video of journey to, chorus, verse, hooks and all to use a music metaphor. Really nicely done... Andy.

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Hi Andy, we will do a few more of these at some point and Bobby does find them a lot more enjoyable! All the best Rick

[@FoxfieldRailwayOfficial]

Hey thanks for sharing your day out with us 😊 we’re glad you could get a ride on the Knotty coaches at last! And is t the miniature railway fun too? Hope you can come back for Knotty100 in July or see a colliery tour!

[@wellchuffedrailways]

We had a great time thanks, it was our second visit having previously visited around 5 years ago. Big thank you to all the team for all their hard work in keeping the railway running. All the best Rick

[@kimballthurlow577]

Thanks for an interesting few hours in the country. Did I see a blue CIWL (Wagon Lits) coach in the siding?

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Hi Kimball, it was an old coach painted to look like one but I'm not sure why. Thanks for watching Rick

[@harris4018]

havent been that way for a few years, and the roaches haven't changed much the big rocks of sand stone on your right you'st to break off and roll across the main road and on down

[@wellchuffedrailways]

It's great scenery and so far we have avoided any Rick falls🤞

[@ivovanzon164]

Added to the 'must visit' list, always nice to see the wooden vehicles in museum service

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Hi Ivo, this was the first time we have been in the old 4 wheel coaches. Quite the experience. All the best Rick

[@paulsngaugechannel]

[@andrewrice6596]

Hi Rick. It looks like the three of you had a lovely day, thanks for sharing it.

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Thanks Andrew we sure did.

[@daniellohrenz3651]

The loco with the pantograph is an English Electric type 3b

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Thanks for the info. All the best Rick

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

bobby is such a cutie

[@wellchuffedrailways]

And he knows it!🐕

[@kevinhale9400]

Isn’t Bobby a cutie eh?

[@allanegleston4931]

what was so bad about the pacer trains ?

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Very uncomfortable due to then having 4 wheels rather than bogies. They are basically a Leyland bus modified to run on rails. Cheers Rick
