Lovely video of a lovely railway. There are lots of nice, short walks you can do from the Eskdale end, all in a little book by A.W.Wainwright ('Walks from Ratty' in the station shop).

[@bobnweaver]

Many thanks for your comments Julian and for the information regarding the walks. Regards, Jeff.

A super video from this lovely railway Jeff. I loved the little diesel loco at the beginning of the video. Maybe not a candidate for design of the year but doing a great job! Cheers - Allan.

[@bobnweaver]

Thanks Allan, it was a great day out on my first visit up the line. Glad you liked the diesel, pleased i included it now. Cheers, Jeff.

Great video Jeff, did the ride a few years back .Dave

[@AndreiTupolev]

Looks like it's been raining at Dalegarth again then! Those little locos certainly have to work hard up there.

[@bobnweaver]

Thanks for your comments Andrei. There was heavy rain and thunder in Cumbria earlier in the day but it eventually turned out nice. Regards, Jeff.

Hi Jeff - it's only taken me seven years to discover this video of a line that I know very well indeed - and thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Sadly, for the next few weeks the Cumbrian Coast line is closed and I won't be able to get to Ravenglass. By the time it reopens, Ratty will be getting to the sort of limited timetable which makes a long day out less attractive. However, if winter comes, can spring be far behind? Best wishes.

[@bobnweaver]

Thanks for your comments Tim, so glad you enjoyed the video. I remember the day well and enjoyed the trip on the line from Ravenglass to Dalegarth and back, and also the journey there from Carlisle which I think was still Class 37 operated. Really enjoyed your recent footage also and was impressed with your drone images. Best wishes, Jeff.

Wonderful, Jeff! The lovely "Ratty", well documented; Santa, taking his summer vacation; a fierce rebuttal against all those old jokes about blonde drivers; and the beautiful Cumbrian landscape - all in a single video. What more could you want. Have a jar, lad! :-)

[@bobnweaver]

It was a super day out with my bus driver mate Dave. I have been to Ravenglass a couple of times but this was my first visit up the line. All rounded off with a "couple" of Jars in The Ratty Arms on the main line station on return. Thanks for your comments, really good laugh. Cheers, Jeff.

I presume that car battery on the tender is to power the air pump? Seems a rather improvised arrangement.

[@bobnweaver]

Not too sure Andrei, bit it looked a bit odd. Thanks for your further comments. Regards, Jeff.
