Swanage Railway Strictly Bulleid II 7 June 2024
In beautiful Purbeck countryside - Merchant Navys 35006 and 35018 doublehead the 10.45 ex Swanage - pity about the crossing two tone. Later in the day 34028 and 34053 head the 14.01 from Corfe Castle to Norden, with 34072 bringing up the rear. Finally, it's 35018 bringing the 14.56 arrival intinorden, with 34081 looking after the tail end.

A bit of Bulleid ballet, involving 35018 and 34081, and orchestrated by 33 111, before 34072 heads the 10.40 departure from Swanage on 6 June, 2024. We leave the last word to 33 111, exiting stage left, or is it right? with a sunny 34081.

To Harnham's Cross to join the birds and one man and his dog waiting for the arrival of 34072 on the the 13.34 to Norden. Then down to the platform to await 34070 Manston on the 14.14. There's time to head up to the 'sharp end' to see the token transferred to 34072 as it rumbles back towards Swanage. It's the comfortable seats after that for another run up the line, but only after watching the ...

HAYFIELD'S SHORTS - Clan Line and the EFL - 27.04.24

Having watched a lacklustre Southampton (the Saints) succumb to a perky Stoke City (the Potters) I decided to lift my spirits by taking a detour via Basingstoke on the way home to see 'Clan Line' returning from Bath. I wasn't alone on the platform. A group of Blackpool (the Seasiders) supporters had just arrived from Reading, where their side had lost to the Biscuitmen - (sorry, the Royals - th...
HAYFIELD'S SHORTS - Driver experience 2
มุมมอง 672 หลายเดือนก่อน
After the enjoyable run with the SAPPER up and down the AVON VALLEY Railway in April 2019, I had the opportunity, five months later, to run along the quayside outside Bristol's MShed on PORTBURY. It should have been a train operating day, but without enough personnel, they were limited to 'driver experience' sessions. It was all pretty gentle, with lots of people about and an ice cream van park...

For one of those landmark birthdays, my kids treated me to a bit of 'driver experience ' on the AVON VALLEY RAILWAY, Bitton, in April 2019. It was totally brill - especially the race with the cyclist on the adjacent track - and I don't know why it hasn't seen the light of day till now. Thanks to the kids, The Sapper, driver Wilson & fireman Cowley, and Denise, who took the pics.

My vists to Bristol Temple Meads (just passing through) in 2022 were occasionally enlivened by a loco stood at a new stabling point - and a sunny evening. Here are 37425, 57307 and 60 055. All of them were ticking, clicking and wheezing away, but one of them had a great percussion beat going. Which one do you think it was - 'Concrete Bob' (37) 'Lady Penelope' (57) or 'Thomas Barnado' (60) ? Ans...
FRENCH STEAM FESTIVAL - May 2023 [6]
มุมมอง 1662 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Bank Holiday Monday was surprisingly quiet at Longueville (apart from the manic whistling and horn blowing) and it was possible to get a little closer to some of the locos in the yard. After watching a variety of departures, ending with 241 P 17 topped and tailed with 567558, I set off to catch the railcar to Montereau, little knowing that I'd soon see the 'Mountain' again.

On the final afternoon I took the 'Picasso' railcar trip to Montereau - along a freight only line. These iconic machines have an engine whirring away in what you'd think of as the driving compartment - and a driver's cubicle that protrudes through the roof! When we reached the disused station of Flamboin Gouaix, where the freight line branches off, we sat in a siding for 15 minutes. I realised,...

The first public day of the festival - and the omens weren't good when the 08.30 special train rumbled into Provins an hour late. Arrival at Longueville showed that the tracks between the platform and the heritage lines in the yard were full of modern units - so a great 'viewing area' was blocked off. Never mind... to the roundhouse, where one or two engines were simmering; and the yard... wher...

On the Sunday it was the same heritage railcar arriving at Provins for the short run to Longueville, but this time it was raining! I decided to head up to Villiers St Georges on the first excursion, topped and tailed by the 2-8-2 and the 2-8-0. Villiers St Georges was a mass of dismantled track and redundant grain silos among grass carpeted running lines and platforms. The station building had ...

On 10 September 2023, 2-6-2T No. 5553 headed both passenger trains and freight, in the form of a few china clay wagons. The first view is of 5553 climbing sedately past Colesloggett Halt, between Bodmin Parkway and Bodmin General. Next, the loco is propelling its short rake of china clay wagons into Bodmin General, prior to heading down the line to the Parkway station. Finally, there's a trip b...
More than eight freights at the Great Central Railway

I thought the Great Central's Winter Gala (26 - 28 Jan 2024) was a brilliant event and the thing that gave me particular delight was the constant succession of freight trains, in both directions. OK, there were only two trains in reality, but with a variety of locos, and seen in a number of settings, it was just like turning the clock back 60 years and more. I could imagine myself at my local s...

Gosh she was travelling, what say you? 70-80mph?
Excellent video Will. Great to see the double header with the one at the rear. Best wishes C&A
Excellent 2 videos Will. What a great gala to go to. Captured some amazing shots, and a journey in the observation coach. That must of been fantastic. Looks like you had a superb day. Hope you are all keeping well. Best wishes C&A
great video. all that smoke. bet it smelt lovely
Excellent video Will. Great coverage of the actions at Swanage. Great to see you out enjoying yourself videoing steam. Keep them coming. Hope you're all well as we are . Best wishes C&A
Glad to hear you're all well - yes, Swanage was very slippy and very steamy (especially when peering over the bridge at Swanage) - I did get up to Corfe Castle etc and that may feature if I get my act together! Best wishes, Will
Glad you like it ! It was a great run - very evocative.
Fantastic I love this! Reminds me of travelling to/from boarding school at Wilhelmshaven to Duisburg where my parents picked me up for the ride back to RAF Laarbruch during 1956-58 ; happy days they were!
Great to see the Bullieds out on the main line. Picton NZ
True or not one of these in steam day's is supposedly have touched over ,100 miles per hour a wonderful locomotive these standard 5s
There really needs to be an investigation into the term “at speed” this steamer wasn’t even out of second gear.
I remember lying in bed and listening to the noises from the shunting yard as a 4 or 5 year old. A couple of years later I was lucky enough to have a footplate ride on Mallard on the turning triangle at Grantham.
Like 4 days ago, when me and Dad were right by the tracks, (we went back every time that a train came past!) a steam train came past, and I got so shocked! We saw ICE´s too!
Half the video showed a diesel unit, the other half was the steam engine pulling just a single coach. Somewhat underwhelming.
Tiled floors at our station make my high heeled sandals slip, & polishing their soles.
Excellent video Will. Nice to see Clan Line back in action and performing well All the best C&A
Wonderful! ❤
Brilliant video Will. What a fantastic experience for you. Hope you throughiy enjoyed yourself. Best wishes C&A
What a fantastic birthday surprise. Looks like you had a wonderful day. Another milestone gone by. Best wishes C&A
WOW fantastic....
Are these locos fired with coal or oil?
Those on display mostly coal - the 141 R 840 is oil fired. The rowdy generator in this video is recharging the oil!
Excellent video Will. Well captured.. Big steam engines with stupid high pitch whistles. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. It looked very enjoyable Best wishes C&A
Excellent video Will. Very interesting unit. Probably great to travel in. Best wishes C&A
Another excellent video Will. Looks like it was a great steam gala. Enjoyable watching. Best wishes C&A
Excellent video Will. .lovely to see the steam engines in France. Looks like you had a great time there. Good on board footage. Well captured. Best wishes C&A
iHi - this lovely weather is keeping me indoors - and I'm finding time to tidy up some old loose ends! I hope you're both well and thriving. Best wishes, Will PS The French festival was a good gathering - but not the best organised...and most drivers spent most of their time whistling and blowing their horns - maddening!
I was there in 1952/3 where I learnt to love trains. (And got over the low wall to petrify my Mother.)
I can imagine her distress! Herby - come here immediately!

Great video outstanding share to see this video childhood memories back🌹👍
Goosebumps hearing the whistle…..
Good to see without the Oilcan on the rear
'Promosm' 💘
BTW: Where do I find me one of these Women who like to go with their Man to watch a steam train go by (?)
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about watching a steam locomotive on the mainline is don’t stand on the opposite platform but I’m so glad that 450 unit left the platform before it arrived and didn’t obscure everyone’s view! 😂
That was slow! In the late 1950’s I used to go train spotting at Didcot. One day the “Cheltenham Flyer” came through at what I was told was about 90mph. No smoke. No steam. Just a rhythmic and rapid thud, thud, thud. I never saw a repeat from any train again. I expect the number is in my Ian Allen trainspotters book, which my brother who is a volunteer at Quainton now has.
The sound was so good
at speed really
Powerful machines in action!
look at it go
I love how steam locomotives put a smile on people's faces.😃
How lovely to see that mother bring her young son especially to see the magical steam train
Memories of my childhood.
My mum took me across to platform 2 at Coventry to see one in about 1965. It blew off the drain cocks and I ran back crying to my dad. Even though I would only have been 4 at the time I retained the memory of it - a small black loco with a tender. Pretty sure that it was one of Coventry shed's two Ivatts.
Maybe I need to watch the whole vid before commenting
It is a diesel train
Excellent video Will. Great to capture freight train especially on a heritage railway. Well captured. Enjoyable watching. Best wishes C&A

Apparently even the trains drive on the wrong side there 🙄
Sure thing. Seems that it's the faster side though.... :P
Fun fact: Most French trains also drive on the left. Trams and metro trains drive on the right, and so do mainline trains in Alcase, but most drive on the left.
