Agreed, I'm pretty sure the 37 had just been repainted too!

@@PHsRailwayVideos No wonder it looks so clean

@@pacermanthefan Indeed!

Thanks!

Indeed!

Thanks! I do mostly lineside work currently, like slate fencing and such, but I want to do more than that, so that week I was trying out various roles, including cleaner and assistant guard.

I'm sure the ride isn't that bad!

@@PHsRailwayVideos 😁😁😁👍👍

Thanks! If you're interested, this is the loco on my own line! th-cam.com/video/TF3OMsj1XJU/w-d-xo.html

There'd actually been quite a lot of clearing before this video - a month ago the line was a different story!

Thanks! I'm still here, but let's just say the railway may need some new employees!

Indeed, it didn't turn out as badly as I thought it would either!

Thanks, it really is!

Alfie?

@@PHsRailwayVideos yup

Just a tad!

Thanks - there are some great lineside locations at TR!

Thanks! Shame you couldn't make it, but there'll be more! It was a busy day, especially the first couple of trains, but it quietened down after the first few.

Thanks! It was a great day, although the car ride home was exceedingly wet! The shot of 7 leaving Maespoth was the trip it failed on - I did think it sounded like it was working exceedingly hard, and clearly it was!

Thanks! It certainly was a great day - it must've been even better from the footplate!

wonderful.

Duncan’s face on Rheneas!

Yeah, still better than Nick Cage though!

​@@PHsRailwayVideos I think that's actually Smudger. Smudger appeared at last year's Awdry Extravaganza in Rheneas' place.

You can tell that the new faces were designed to only fit their respective engines 😂

Thanks!

Didn't know that, shame I can't edit it now!

@@PHsRailwayVideos I think it was the original Gwril, then was sold and replaced eventually by the new Gwril, then returned to the railway and so now there are 2 Gwrils 😁🤷

Ah, that makes sense

You know, I think blue’s a nice color for a train. Especially one that is almost 170 years old.

Agreed, it looks even better in person!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Nice - I can't even make out who's in the open I'll confess!

Thanks!

Many people online seem to dislike 1s new livery but I think it is absolutely gorgeous, having seen some of the work that went into it as well makes it even more stunning.

Thank you! The TR's carriages are really well kept, probably some of the cleanest in Britain! 1's new livery is beautiful, I'll admit I had my reservations but seeing it in the flesh really changed my mind.

@@QuarrySteam I can see where they're coming from if they haven't seen it in person - up close though it really does look georgous!

In the the Peak District, Midlands - around 20 miles south of Sheffield

Agreed, I love it! (and it is a standard!)

I always get the 2 mixed up so I just say both

@@pacermanthefan I know what you mean, they do look nearly identical! The way to tell is if the top feed has a cover or not - the standards don't but the Ivatts do.

@@PHsRailwayVideos ah alright

The length of his optic nerve will surprise you!

@@MrAlex3461 1500 microns (or 1.5 millimeters) Google is my friend

No, they were propelling - but you can imagine!

"Keep setting back; keep setting back"

@@PHsRailwayVideos Thanks that's interesting! So I guess the meaning is like "keep on reversing". The driver would not have a clear view of the track, but the guard does.

@@Firenzaman Exactly - there's no run-round loop at Matlock, so the loco has to push the coaches to one half a mile up, and the end coach has a window through which the guard can see. A really interesting system, and the only one of its type I've ever seen!

Thanks! This line is definitely quite bouncy, as it's another ex-industrial - as a volunteer there, however, I take some of the blame!

Thanks! Sir B's having a rest after a visit to Beamish, and Brookes is just undergoing routine maintenance, so No. 6 has been covering most services.

Agreed, it looked even better in person!

They really are beautiful coaches, they look even better in person! I think the coach you're referring to is an ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway director's saloon from 1906. Edit: Here's the line's old website, it has some info on the coach - www.embsayboltonabbeyrailway.org.uk/oldsite/vintaget.html#:~:text=This%20carriage%20was%20built%20in,Middleton%20to%20its%20original%20condition.

No problem, it's a lovely line! I'm a northerner though, so unfortunately I can't say when the next time I'll be there is! Do you volunteer there?

@@PHsRailwayVideos I was the fireman on 828 that day. Thank you, we do our best to keep it all up together.

@@Simplex1988 Brilliant! I'm a volunteer on the Middleton Railway in Leeds, I hope to be at that level some day - still need the hours though! I bet it was hard coordinating the propelling, I've never had to do something like that!

Yeah, I wish I did!

Thank you! I'm actually an active volunteer there, I'll make sure to pass your feedback on - we do work hard!

Thanks! I'm not sure the line's even been relaid since it was industrial, so some of the joints are quite bad - all the funner to ride on though!

Thank you!

Yeah, they seem quite versatile engines! Did you work on BR?

Thank you! I imagine 828 wasn't the best loco to work on in the Scottish weather - lovely on the Spa Valley though! I don't think he was pointing at me, I think he was pointing at the hat that fell off the bridge when the train came in. Still, it's amusing to imagine!

I went down whilst I was in the area last August. Eridge is a very unique station as it is used 50/50 by Southern & the SVR

@@terrier_productions Yeah, that's why 73140 had to be propelled when it broke down outside of the platform!

Thanks!

Thank you! My channel has really grown recently, I'm really happy with how it's going - you're doing really well too, roughly 300 views a video! It's great to hear I've inspired you, thank you! The band's going great too, we've got an album and a single out, and have recorded a second! I saw Mrs Williams earlier today, and she said she'd tell Mr Alston to pay me for the album (he never did!) Have a great day too!

Yeah, it was great!

Thanks! The panniers looked even better in person!
