Great episode. But the real star of today's show was the American Freightliner at 12:46. Watching her drive around the U.K. was a real treat. Please have her on the show more.

What's the use of being general manager of a railway company, if you don't get to play trains every once in a while 😂

Danke! Was für eine perfekte Bildqualität und das bei fast durchgehend Regen und schlechtem Wetter! Kompliment!

Wonderful cinematography and editing - as always. 👍It was great to see a cabover Freightliner which has long since disappeared from the roads here in the US. 🙂

It must be interesting running that US Freightliner (left-hand drive) through the British country roads. 😀

That dragon hood-ornament is awesome!

Another great video, thank you

Imagine trying to explain to someone who grows up with this fabulous quality of coverage that once upon a time even national broadcasters wouldn't shoot with more than one camera, and that aerial shots were kept for major disasters¹. Mind you, you might then have to explain the idea of a national broadcaster…
Lovely stuff!
¹& ill-founded Thames Valley Police raids, obvs

Excellent as always!

[@AdrianGray-g7v]

So good to see John Savage and Jay Maxey, both the second generation of their families to be involved with F&WHR, in this edition. There are plenty of others, of course, Wilkinsons, Scarisbricks, Walkers, Griffiths

Can’t be much difference in fuel cost between a small steam locomotive and diesel locomotive and 300 times more fun 😊

Making old Hugh work!

Can't wait to see Nesta running again!

[@jbhtrams]

Clunk Click, every trip hey Paul Lewin😂😂😂

[@ReggieArford]

If the back-to-back gauge on Nesta (?) is a bit too small, couldn't you re-profile the tyres on a wheel lathe to a proper dimension?
