    Brilliant video! I've seen the railway's open days advertised in the past but not yet got around to visiting. Love the Former Yugoslavian theme!

      Glad you enjoyed it. They don't open very often,but is well worth a visit..It was at the top of my list for ages but just couldn't get to the events...Glad I did though.

    Nice video brings back happy memories of when I visited there around 15 years ago, it must be now when I was last on a family holiday in Norfolk which happily coincided with one of the open days . We were staying a village nearby and saw a poster advertising a garden railway open-day and though it might be worth a look. Was amazed what an impressive set up it was, a bit of a step up from your typical garden railway! Nice to see that its still going.

      Glad you enjoyed it.You were lucky to get a visit as they don't open very often.Just shows what can be achieved with money and love for trains Michael...Great railway....Regards Chris

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      We liked the Hunslet too,as we own one as well.The loco's are I think Belgium/Swiss/German.Very nice and different....Thanks for commenting......Regards Chris.

    • @kineticrail
      @kineticrail 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your very lucky to have your own quarry hunslet. I'am looking at possibly getting into ownership of either 5inch or 7.25inch gauge.

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The loco's are something special and were very different to our uk.Most of the stalls were different charities we had some fun on the Tombola and Hoopla....Thanks for commenting......Regards Chris

    great video and lovely railway. Can't believe I haven't seen your videos before! Very well produced and thanks for sharing. Of course, now I'm desperate to go on this line!

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Many thanks for your kind comment,the line only opens a few times a year....As we have been trying to ride all the preserved standard gauge,narrow gauge and miniature lines plus Model Engineering Society's of the UK for the last 45 years,we may have seen and rode many railways you may never have heard of,some sadly no longer running.....Have a look through my videos and enjoy.I have filmed the ride on most of the videos for my reference, so I hope you don't get too bored............Best wishes Chris

      I drive on the Audley End Miniature Railway - let me know if you want to come and film and have a look around.

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have filmed the Audley End M.R but it was a long time ago,many thanks for the offer and if we are coming again we will let you know.We might bring one of our own engines down to run on the 7 1/4 club track as well.........Best wishes Chris

  • @avocet89
    @avocet89 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ahh you did get me! Saw you over the fence and gave a wave, the last train you filmed with the green carriages! First time I'd managed to make it to an open day here, great line they've got! a lot of groundwork went into that and even then you need big powerful locomotives to get up the hill. I don't think my 1hp electric would do well here...! Ben from King's Lynn Model Engineers :)

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Must watch it and see if I can spot you,thanks for subscribing to my channel I hope you enjoy watching my videos.I'm sure your loco would be fine running on this line......Best wishes Chris

    What a great film you have produced, a thumbs up from me.
    Like the look of the railway, loco's and track.
    I'd asked a cousin who often travels Kings Lynn to Hunstanton to tell me when there would be an open day. I might get there one day! I believe money raised goes to charities?

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes Kay all events are for Charities.Next open weekend is August 13/14th and then the B/Holiday.The railway is in the village of Snettisham Norfolk.Thanks for the thumbs up.......Best wishes Chris.

      They make it harder to get anything out of these machines by putting items/toys on top to weigh it down,you know your not going to win but it be nice just to get something out and if you did you only put in back in anyway.....Cheers.

      @@wooltman US steam is/ was trully impressive and I think designed better as far as footplate and maintainance staff were concerned. Our 3-link UK couplings were pretty darn dangerous!

    Some very interesting engines, they seem to specialise in Yugoslavian locos. Nice shed-cum-garage they run through.
