- Hello everyone,
When talking possible guests for the Whitwell and Reepham Railway's Gala, Lawrie suggested the Wickham from the MSLR, and when they said what a great idea, lets do it, it was down to him to make things happen.
Enjoy a bit of the behind the scenes of setting up for a gala, and then Lawrie actually being useful as operational staff!
A big thank you to both the MSLR and the W&RR for their efforts to make the gala happen.

I had a great day out at this event and it was good to meet Lawrie and the Wickham in person. Thanks to all involved.
Thanks for coming over!
On a slightly unrelated note; Mark "Hyce" Huber (former developer of Railroads Online and current employee of the Colorado Railroad Museum) said on stream that you're welcome to come visit and run locomotives with him! The ultimate collaboration! Also you should ask to drive his GTO ;)
We are talking about it - hopefully next year!
Lawrie are you going to go back to didcot sny time soon ? Love your videos by the way @@lmm
@@Marks.trains. soon funnily enough!
@@lmm did u film a video while you were there
@@lmm seeing the trolly on the trailer looks like us when we go and sell ice cream at events
over the years we have been selling ice cream we have met people who remember the original ice cream bikes that my Mum's is based on. a lot of people have tried to Help us load it onto our trailer. they usually stop when my Mum informs them that its very heavy
Just a bit of geography. Agecroft No 3, built in Newcastle-on-Tyne, worked at Agecroft Power Station (NW Manchester), a Ruston built in Lincoln and a Baguley built in Burton-on-Trent. Then the Wickham built in Bedford. I remember going across North Manchester to see the locos at Agecroft I worked for a while at ICI Blackley, so had daily sightings of Isabel (HL) and Lady Armaghdale (HC)
Looks like so much fun! What a stunning little engine Agecroft is, and what a funky little doodlebug the Wickham is!
It was a superb day!
It was nice meeting Lawrie on the Saturday with the wife and little one, both of whom enjoy watching your video. Despite being a big steamie fan, it always gets me that the lad is hesitant to go on the footplate of an engine.
10:06 you didn't need to cook it _with the loco?_ Is that a real railroad breakfast then?
Okay, Hyce needs to cook a proper breakfast on an episode of K37 Kitchen...
But seriously, that is awesome of them to serve Lawrie what looks to me like a fry-up.
It was great!
I find eggs very hard to do well on the footplate. Sausage, bacon, hash browns, pizza, all fine. But eggs? Pain in the backside!
Probably also the first time the wickham was used to serve a 2 course dining train of burger and cake!
Dinning Wickham! Certainly a first
The Gala weekend was superb and good to see you there Lawrie . I thoroughly enjoyed exhibiting my layout both days. I managed to have a few breaks to look outside and what an excellent job the railway put on with a variety of locos and stock. Great to see the Wickham stretching its legs. Hopefully the Middy will use it a bit more.
Glad you enjoyed it, they put on a good event! With the extention complete they're talking about using it more regularly for the track gang!
Speeders are fun indeed. The hit and miss engine is fun to operate.
I rember seeing several Wickham trolleys laying next to the line on the Totnes to Buckfastleigh run , I love the name plate on the front of your example 😀
Love the bit you saind to guy polishing the name plate " missed a spot" classic cleaning joke.
He appreciated it 😂
Another great one Lawrie!
The gala looked so good!
Stay safe mate :)
Thank you - it was super fun!
Good video but Wickham went to east Anglian railway museum 9 years ago for trolleys & dollies event . I was middy driver for that event. So 2nd time away .
Did it? Fair enough.
Now this makes me want a little track inspection vehicle like that trolley.
Me too!
Always nice to see a Wickhams running - and really nice to see one just down the road!
They're super fun!
Love it Big thumbs up every time 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Hi it’s Mark, I was on the Pendennis Castle footplate earlier with my dad and Drew. Sorry you were talking to me and asked me a question but I couldn’t hear as it was loud. Was great to meet you.
Lovely to meet you too! Did you have a good day?
@@lmm yes it was exciting to see them two engines and Pendennis in steam
Sorry my spelling is rubbish
Great Video and what a great event I looked that place up it looks like they really have put a lot work into that place !
It's really coming on well
Absolutely great! I would ask: will they make the tracks longer some day?
Excellent video. There are few things to beat messing about with trains.
Thank you. It was a super day!
Thanks Lawrie, lots of variety there, you probably needed that breakfast with the weather!🙏🙏
It was very gratefully recieved!
I went on the Saturday and had a great day. Also had the pleasure of a chat with Lawrie as well.
It was great fun. Thanks for the chat!
There is something about a blue engine they always look very smart I think.
I totally agree. British railways express passenger blue, Caledonian blue...look especially great on steam locos
It wears it very well!
greetings from soaking wet California. We have near me in the little town of El Dorado, a small heritage railroad that operates over one of California's earliest railways using equipment very similar to your Wickham. There are three similar powered vehicles and each has it's own trailer and they all drive out in unison to provide a lovely ride on a portion of the Placerville branch of the SP. I think last year they may have started using a diesel locomotive and a couple of converted freight cars, but I wasn't able to get by on a working day last year to see it.
Individuals have posted videos which can be found by searching El Dorado Western Railroad on this platform.
As usual, another enjoyable video.
Thank you! I'll have to check out that line!
It was a pleasure meeting you and the self promotion on the cap is great.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for coming over!
I used to have a Harley Davidson that sounded like that!
Is that little trolley a V twin petrol engine by chance?
Lovely video sir as always 😁♥️
Hi Yes it looks like a side valve v twin I would like to know the make possibly a J.A.P.
It is! Glad you enjoyed it!
So sad and I was so hoping to see you ruston at the gala.
Next year!
You know, for services to railway heritage. I fully anticipate someone to name a locomotive "Loco Lawrie" sooner or later.
noted
That would be quite an honour!
@@lmm A well deserved one for sure.
I have one of those😊
The start and end of this video was Train Truckers On A Budget. You were missing your what if disaster if it was unloaded incorrectly.
We have two Wickham trolleys on the Severn Valley Railway one is a enclosed version stationed at Bewdley and the other is in the siding at Highley which is similar to the Mid Suffolk's one but with front panels and windows front and rear weather protection canvases. We also have the more up to date modern day version of the Wickham trolley which is a light weight trolley with seats facing back to back powered by a Honda GX engine you usually see on generators, lawn mowers and other equipment. due to its light weight it is a lot easier for four people to pick up and turn around.
I'd love to do a line run along the svr in one!
my local heritage railway has a shell water tanker
"Why is there a Christmas tree in the Coach?" Because there's not enough room in the Diner. 7:10
That's excatly it
These wickham trolleys seem pretty much like the British version of American speeders
I almost wonder if there is a way to take an American speeder over to England for a vacation
I'm sure there would be!
I know we have seen a walkabout at Middleton Railway; what about at Whitwell and Reepham? perhaps as a steppingstone to a series of walkabouts at the Statfold Barn?
Working on it!
Speaker would in the break van on the Ruston 48
No, as I said, sound fitted Ruston 48.
Woow LMM I wonder what other holidays the railway trolley might have on special occasions (no puns intended)
I'm hoping many more!
Too bad that you can’t load up your ruston like that 😁👍
I know! Would make things so much easier
Did anyone else see the Trolley hit a tree
I didn't!
I enjoyed the video. I am Joey's Father. I think you mentioned the Wickham is standard gauge (56 1/2")? The engine looks like a V twin, a 2 cylinder. Is it a 2 cycle or a 4 cycle. What Company made the engine and the motorcar? Thank you!!! Joe
Hello there!
Yes the Wickham is standard guage - though our loading guage is way smaller than the US.
This one had its engine replaced in the late 50s with a JAP 2 cylinder 4 stroke.
Apparently its an engine that was used on racing motorbikes. Apparently its rare and worth more than the Wickham itself!
@@lmm Thank you!
16:11 I'm not quite sure, but maybe it is a Vauclain compound?
I have no idea I'm afraid
that psuedo coal sure looks like horse droppings
Tad more solid
Hey Lawry, how's that backyard railway going?
He's moved, so I'm waiting for an invite to the new one!
is the speaker in the brake van?
It is not!
I want a Wickham (or a Fairmont speeder). There's a decommissioned branchline close to my home, which is now used for those horrible pedal powered touristy "hand"cars. This or a real handcar would look so much better, but knowing German bureaucracy, you probably wouldn't get permission to run it...
Oh I've seen the peddle bike things!
I've always dreamed of having something like that in the USA and exploring abandoned lines!
Lawrie and Hyce are like British and American versions of the same person.
One of the clones did escape...
Driver for a tenner? That's inflation for you!
They made the £10 worth your money. As you got more than your money’s worth plus heritage lines do have to cover rising costs too.
They're actually talking about drivers taking part-time jobs as singers! Driver for a _tenor!_
@@thurstablelane7567 I'm sure they do, and it is still a fair price I think - as I said, inflation happens! Just lacks the poetry of driver-for-a-fiver.
Lots of places now have driver for a tenner. Doesn't flow off the tounge as nicely though

Lawrie's Mechanic love louis shirley
Harry 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤ 2:30
I wouldn’t call it a railway because they is only one station
What would you call it?
Not so much a whistle from the Whickham....more of a YELP lol
Depends massively on the revs!
jeez give to that trolley some love... looks like garbage
Far too many adverts in your vids these days. Really spoils the watching. I guess it's becoming more about money than viewers and history now.
I'm sorry, but I have to eat. Running the channel has evolved into a full time job.
Currently it doesn't pay enough, and I've been living off my savings.
I can introduce a Patreon perk to get videos ad free if you'd prefer?
Is that a harley Davidson engine powering the Wickham?
The one we had was a v twin Jap engine
No, it's a JAP two cylinder
