West Lancashire Light Railway 2020 Review
For what started out as a promising and exciting year for the Railway, like everyone we got hit by The Covid pandemic. Unable to operate our heritage steam trains, we carried on, social distancing, catching up with planned work until passenger services restarted in late August. Suddenly stopped again in late September by Tier 3, we had to adapt quickly to operate our sold out Santa trains. Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, we did and it was magical.
We look forward to reopening on Sunday 28th March 2021, if Covid allows us. Here’s to a brilliant 2021.🚂

2016 has been a very successful year for the West Lancashire Light Railway. Based in Hesketh Bank, just North of Southport. Although only a short railway, we punch above our weight both in heritage restoration and extraordinary galas and events for the family and enthusiasts. Well worth a visit in 2017. Our 50th year..

Peveril test day
มุมมอง 2K12 ปีที่แล้ว
Isle of Man Railways No. 6 Peveril test day on the Waterloo & Lanes End Railway. This Accucraft locomotive is a manual version as most of the WLER locos are. The engine ran well and is a very smooth runner. After a little running in I'm hoping for some slower speeds with good loads. The engine appears very powerful. A few minor niggles but overall a very nice engine and great addition to the WLER.
No 6 Peveril Unboxing and First Steam
มุมมอง 1.2K12 ปีที่แล้ว
9th May and the delivery of eagerly awaited Accucraft Isle of Man No.6 Peveril. Sorry the live steam is short but the weather was awful. Hopefully more later. The loco seems to steam well and runs smooth. Love those big driving wheels, pop safety valves and fantastic detail. Well done Accucraft. More 3ft engines please.

    Very nice video, especially the eks Sragi Sugar Mill No.1. Many steam locos in Indonesia are left in poor in conditions, and it's good that the West Lancashire Railway Museum has kept it in good shape. Definitely love to go there when I get a chance to go to England again, especially inside the engine shed.

    Hi thanks for your kind comments. Peter pan is a Kerr Sutuart "Wren" class loco buit for industrial work. I think it's about 3 1/2 tonnes and travels around the UK and Europe on the back of a classic articulated wagon. It must be one of the most travelled engines in the UK.

    Hi, many thanks for your comments. You must have been as excited as I was seeing the C&TSR. It really is an amazing railroad. I hope you keep up you enthusiasm for the railroads. I started when I was very young after seeing the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. Many years later and I'm still as keen, restoring, driving steam locos and visiting railroads. My 10 year old son seems to be following my footsteps. Hopefully you guys in the next generation will keep these Engines in service?

  • @HematomaFalafalPatrol
    @HematomaFalafalPatrol 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad you achieved your "ambition". :) I first recognized the C&TS when I was 6, while watching a video called "The Alphabet Train", which had surprisingly good footage of several trains mixed with a narrator teaching me my ABCs and about trains. When I was 9, I had learned everything about the railroad, and was always trying to think of a time when I could ride it. Finally, last year (at 13 yrs old), my Dad brother and I took a trip to Colorado, and rode it on the way up there. :D
