@@AverageJailBreakEnjoyer To be honest, I would like to bring a Class 60 to Florida in the future and run it on a private line I would have. If only I had all the needed money. I would do engineer/driver experience days for the public.
It would be a great buy. If you look at the similar Ruston at the Severn Valley Railway in the Bewdley yard they do look good restored both internally and externally.

Back in the 1980's DSB only had couchette cars but wanted to offer a more comfortable service on their night trains, yet also saw the end comming for them as the great belt bridge would be build reducing travel time to the point where sleeper trains would be unviable, hence it did not pay to buy new sleepers, They found out the UK had surplus MK3 sleepers, bought a few and had them painted in the Danish sleeper livery of the time with red middle section and dark blue night sky painted across the remainder of the body.
The Colne Valley is a very special Railway to me by and my family. When it oldest son was at his sutistic worst, this wonderful Railway welcomed him weekend after weekend. We always felt welcomed and able to enjoy. Ourselves without looking over our shoulders. I wish the CVR all the best. May you grow and prosper.
Here in the US, I actually had a plan that fell through to buy a classic pullman dome car. and have it moved to my property to live in it. I was going to have a UP train pick it up in Southern Cali. Move up the UP mainline, to the Albany & Eastern railway which is about 1/4 mile from my property. From there it's a relatively easy move via truck. As a rail enthusiast, i wanted it to remain as original as possible. Setting it on a set of tracks i had started placing. I already had water, power, and sewer at the site. Problem was that UP would require me to upgrade the brakes, wiring and electrical, trucks and bearings to modern standards before they would hook up to it. And if i'm going to do all of that work to it, why take it off the rails? Further problem is with the neighbors, they have no problem with me living in a disused automotive shop, but having a beautiful art deco chrome railcar placed where they can't even see it was going too far apparently (i have many acres of property). They fought tooth and nail to block me from putting it on my own property.
The avonside tank looks a good deal, might have a look into it cause it looks promising when restored. I think I have a contact who might like to save the Ruston but if you get this Ruston we can dub you the king of Ruston’s
British Sugar must have purchased a load of those Ruston 165's as I believe the two at the Severn Valley Railway also came from the nearby Sugar Beet factory in Kidderminster. Whoever buys the one at the Colne Valley, it if they tidy it up it will look great. Plus it would be ideal for small preserved railways for passenger services, light freight services or shunting. The steam locomotive is definitely a great little locomotive for the Colne Valley or likewise.
It sounds like a reasonably reliable piece of kit, And isn’t the steam locomotive a little Andrew Barclay? Looks a lovely little locomotive for a heritage railway.
Hi, It's an Avonside, the slightly lesser-known Bristol based rivals of Peckett. The 'good will' and intelectual property/design rights went to Hunslet, the same as Barclay's did though. There's the story two Salesmen from the Bristol rivals, Avonside and Peckett, somehow met and got chatting, and mention was made by one of an odd bloke in the design team - who'd then recently retired - who only came into the office at lunchtime, then worked _very_ late into the evening. The response from the other Salesman was to the effect of, "That's odd, we never understood why he started in the small hours of the morning and only worked until lunchtime!"
Nice to know that money grubbers are not just in the states , the property owner I think came on hard times and saw a bag of money to be collected and or a way to get they off the land
The land owner has probably found out it's possible to get planning permission to build houses or industrial building on the land plot which raises the value of the land dramatically - more so with houses. We have a huge housing shortage in the UK. As much as I hate seeing heritage engineering getting scrapped you can't blame someone for trying to get the maximum return on their assets. It's just business.
I couldn't imagine the little 040 would actually get scrapped. It certainly seems like something that'll find a home. The Ruston is a little trickier. It could certainly get a good home but it needs a railway that doesn't already have something of that class in service or needs another. Since it's got some issues buying it would be a bit of a gamble. If the gearbox is fine it could be a great purchase. If the gearbox and drivetrain isn't fine it would turn into a moneypit right quick. The generator van too will probably find a home. As lawrie says, it's a useful thing. The sleeping coach... I have a sinking feeling it's the most likely thing to end up scrapped. Just too much hastle for a preservation group to handle I think. Maybe they can find some entrepreneurial type to turn it into an BnB somewhere?
Shame the national railway museum haven't bought them. But surely you or someone else could crowdfund for the little diesel and 040 and get them restored. Honestly the site if they appealed for help I'm sure that there could be some companies to help with building some more sidings and storage facilities to protect the trains and wagons whilst they get restored even if it's just concrete foundations and a metal building frame and steel sheet walls and roof. If I won the lottery I'd have it all hahaha. Get it restored and working again. The sleeper carriage doesn't need to remain a sleeper either. Have it converted to a normal carriage.
The little avonside loco Barrington is so cute. 15 grand for something like that ain't bad either, thats cheaper than most electric cars, and having something like that would surely be great. I am definitely thinking you should buy it if you have/had the money
If you want to do more historic rollstock brokering, feel free to come to Denmark and help find a new owner for Skagensbanen M1 which is now lingering outside of Gedser Roundhouse. It is a rare Maybach railmotor of which few if any are preserved anywhere. It was in running order untill it was unprofessionally moved in the 1980's which destroyed its side-rods because someone forgot to disengage the gearbox when dragging it with a locomotive from one location to another. It would be a travesty to see such a rare one of a kind historic vehicle be scrapped, and if it could come up and running it would be an excellent vehicle for small excursions or a start up heritage operation.
I live about 2 miles from where the Ruston would've worked. Just outside of Kings Lynn. Great bit of nostalgia seeing it and hope it finds a sympathetic new owner (hopefully yourself) who'll safeguard it's future.
I’d prob buy that 0.4.0 steam engine if I was lucky enough. But the fact the Ruston starts and sort of runs is also interesting. Maybe if i had a farm and set up like at mangapps farm railway they’d be ideal Do you know if any progress has been made with D2046 there? I volunteer at the railway it was previously at!
Like everyone here I would love at least one of these items - the horsebox for me - but they would need to knock a zero of the end before I could even considered it unfortunately.
When you hear your self sighing, if only I had the money. :/ the small steam engine looks really nice. If I had the money to I think that would be what I'd go for ahah
Or just a home in general. and as we know old rolling stock has a history of being converted into a house and then converted back. a sleeper is perfect, just needs power and water then it's sorted.
If I had the money and place to put It I would have it the railway near me want rent for trackspace I ain't paying to keep it there and for them to use it....just my opinion if they use it I don't see why I should pay rent to keep it there
I would love to own the ruston 165 and the steam engine to keep the history alive on them too if I have the money With the ruston 165 unique engine starter how long are you going to find another one of them engines again if I had somewhere to store them I will actually have them antique stomach to get them running properly One place where I would love to run the engines with a rolling stock carriage is backwards and forwards from the rock ferry station all the way around through the old dock line to Birkenhead North junction in my hometown 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 It will keep the history alive through the old dock branch line and all I can say I don't give a monkey's what my council and town hall says about running the old dark line once again with their silly projects in my hometown where they don't listen to the public I care about the history of life in my hometown like other people.
I am going to try to save ruston 165 buy making an offer because she is a unique engine how many more engines like hair are going to be destroyed and never seen again Because I like all old engines and rolling stark it doesn't matter if it's steam all the old diesel engines because one day we might need them again on our main branch lines
Well I was gonna save up £3K for a beast of a laptop (my current 10YO one is struggling!) but for an extra quid I'd be tempted, just need somewhere to put it!
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 77 Octagon and Every 47 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And Please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Hey Lawrie, are you able to pass any ideas/suggestions over to the Colne Valley Railway? I know there's a carriage & wagon holiday let down near the Kent & East Sussex Railway, and it could be worth getting in contact with them
Sorry Lawrie have to disagree with you, i emailed the railway visited the railway and left details and have never been contacted, if theyre as short as you say you think they would follow up any offers they get.
If anyone wanted to buy the 165, or club together to buy it, and needed a home for it to go to (or the owner wanted to relocate it), I would be happy to provide one (back at County School). This is an outline offer of a home, there is no funding available to buy it or transport it.
Lawrie...put it to the vote....to scrap your tatty 2nd 48 and use the money we put together to buy this...because this one could easily be made ready. Your 2nd 48 is barely there
Ah man, if I had 15k I would totally snap up Barrington! She's a lovely little engine! I love little Avonside's and Peckett's! Ah yes, good old Mk1 rot! I remember going to Midsomer Norton back in November and noticing two rather sizeable holes in the bodywork of one of their Mk1s! I'm surprised they haven't sent it off to CTMS for some remedial work tbh!
If I could afford them, I'd love to have either of the locomotives! They're the sort of ones that'd definitely be amazing to run on a McAlpine-esque private railway.
The sleeping car doesn't necessarily have to be used for sleeping per se, it could be used for any number of chores. It is such a nice clean looking vehicle even in this forlorn state. I saw a short video on TH-cam a few days ago where a sleeper was off loaded straight into the scrapyard and it looked in a slightly better condition than this. Unfortunately they can't all be saved. Some organisation with deep pockets may have a soft spot for what they see here and come to the rescue. Fingers crossed.
I would love to own it but I would never get 15k in one go If I could work out an agreement where I just pay for over time then I would but that depends on so meany things
Lawrie you should put a go fund me for both the ruston and 040 then you have more engines plus the railway would be happy to help you fix them go for it you only live once
i can tell Lawrie wants that little 0-4-0.... Cmon Lawrie.... Start another Go fund me or what ever, we will help you save that little steamer.
No I want it! I'll bring it to Florida and bring back the Florida West Coast Railroad and restore it to its former glory

Lawrie how much is the Ruston? I woud like to buy it if i can get the funds
It would be a great buy. If you look at the similar Ruston at the Severn Valley Railway in the Bewdley yard they do look good restored both internally and externally.
Considering it would go to the scrap yard, probably scap value and a promise of restoration is enough
It seems a shame that the land owners appear to cause issues with there greed.
Come On Lawrie let's crowd fund for your 3rd Ruston 😂
Yeah let's do it
you beat me to it - lets do it
Yes
Yes, come on, do it!
Yes
its a shame they are for sale but its a bigger shame i cant afford any of it
QUICK! Give Lawrie views so he can buy the Ruston or the steam engine!
If it goes to scrap crowd fund to save it
Next time on LMM
So I bought a third Ruston…
that, or "So guys...I bought an Avonside..."
MK3 sleepers ran here in Denmark. Probably the only British passenger rollstock that was used here.
Back in the 1980's DSB only had couchette cars but wanted to offer a more comfortable service on their night trains, yet also saw the end comming for them as the great belt bridge would be build reducing travel time to the point where sleeper trains would be unviable, hence it did not pay to buy new sleepers, They found out the UK had surplus MK3 sleepers, bought a few and had them painted in the Danish sleeper livery of the time with red middle section and dark blue night sky painted across the remainder of the body.
The Colne Valley is a very special Railway to me by and my family. When it oldest son was at his sutistic worst, this wonderful Railway welcomed him weekend after weekend. We always felt welcomed and able to enjoy. Ourselves without looking over our shoulders. I wish the CVR all the best. May you grow and prosper.
you should buy the 165 lawrie!
Can we crowd fund Lawrie to get the industrial saddle tank engine + a retube and boiler certification?
Wellll… i do love trains. And most certainly would love to have my own, buttttttt. No room. No place no nothing☹️☹️☹️. This one’s for you Lawrie👍🏽👍🏽
We gotta buy the 165! Time for triple Rustons! I’d donate for sure

Do you think, I could buy No 1875, because I'm saving up and getting older

What would the scrap value be for the Ruston?
Good question.
Supposedly they weigh about 28t, and the first source I found online suggested steel scrap in the UK is going for about £200 per ton, so around £5600?
@@BrooksMoses soo around 6-10 grand for a potential runner?

Think it includes the big generator inside. If you want it without, I am sure that could be open to negotiation, Paul, Chair, CVR

The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 77 Octagon and Every 47 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And Please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Because it would cost more money than it would ever recover.
Lorry buy the 2 locomotives
Please, please set up a fundraiser to let us help you buy the steam loco!!
Wish I had £15k free - and then £250k for the restoration.
2 stroke antique gloss on maintain Nance on u 2 good luk on u
🎉
£15,000 for a loco sounds pretty good ngl
wish i had enough to buy the steam train ... any one wanna be a partner ?
i would be up to contributing cash Lawrie
Come Lawrire make the dream come true and save that little 0-4-0 saddle tank
Anyone willing to go in 3rds or 4ths on the steamer?
Lawrie going shopping again
i hope someone saves the mk3 sleeping coach
about 20 grand for a potential new house right ere.
long as one has somewhere to put it...
Alright where's the donation link my autism is not going to let me sleep until I know that little steam engine is safe and in good hands
The steam loco is not in danger of being scrapped, just the possibility of never running again.
I want that steam loco! Let’s crowd fund!
If Colne valley scrap that Ruston, there not a heritage railway 🤔, room or not, you don’t scrap heritage you can’t replace 🤷🏻♂️.
The locomotives are all privately owned, so whilst I agree with you that it shouldn't be scrapped, it's not the CVR doing it.
Hey Lawrie how much for the green tank engine?
#lawriesnew165
best advertising video ever :)
The Mk1 horsebox could easily be converted into a nice disabled access coach
That would be a great use for it
Congrats on 100k subscribers
woud love to own it (the diesel) butt i am in the netherlands and shipping is a problem and don't know it fits dutch rails
It would. Your loading guage is much wider
I call dibs on Avonside!
Well done to whoever saved the 165.
I REALY WANT TO GET THE STEAM ENGINE!!!
Lawrie's Light Railway :3
It's definitely heading in that direction, isn't it. But how cool it would be if he was to run one! There'd be loads of volunteers.
Hey Lawrie, are you able to pass any ideas/suggestions over to the Colne Valley Railway?
I know there's a carriage & wagon holiday let down near the Kent & East Sussex Railway, and it could be worth getting in contact with them
I'm more disgusted at the "landowners" that charge rent to the heritage railway. It was the railway's land first!
Lots of railway only rent their land.
This landowner is a thankfully a rare occasion
Hm, I’d buy two of those however the colors doesn’t fit my taste.
Paint is the most easy thing to change
Sorry Lawrie have to disagree with you, i emailed the railway visited the railway and left details and have never been contacted, if theyre as short as you say you think they would follow up any offers they get.
It would be cool to buy a british railcar or loco... but ive got a puddle problem... living in Pennsylvania
If anyone wanted to buy the 165, or club together to buy it, and needed a home for it to go to (or the owner wanted to relocate it), I would be happy to provide one (back at County School). This is an outline offer of a home, there is no funding available to buy it or transport it.
I wouldn`t mind having a carriage to convert to a home. I reckoned up the cost of doing this one day and when I got to £200,000 I gave up.
Aside from the Ruston, were the rest sold yet or are they still up for sale?
As far as I know, still for sale
Lawrie...put it to the vote....to scrap your tatty 2nd 48 and use the money we put together to buy this...because this one could easily be made ready. Your 2nd 48 is barely there
Ah man, if I had 15k I would totally snap up Barrington! She's a lovely little engine! I love little Avonside's and Peckett's!
Ah yes, good old Mk1 rot! I remember going to Midsomer Norton back in November and noticing two rather sizeable holes in the bodywork of one of their Mk1s! I'm surprised they haven't sent it off to CTMS for some remedial work tbh!
Obviously the land owner is not a rail buff.
Would appear not
If I could afford them, I'd love to have either of the locomotives! They're the sort of ones that'd definitely be amazing to run on a McAlpine-esque private railway.
Your at a railway auction, hehehe me thinks it could be some new videos coming out with I accidently brought .... as a title.
The sleeping car doesn't necessarily have to be used for sleeping per se, it could be used for any number of chores. It is such a nice clean looking vehicle even in this forlorn state.
I saw a short video on TH-cam a few days ago where a sleeper was off loaded straight into the scrapyard and it looked in a slightly better condition than this. Unfortunately they can't all be saved.
Some organisation with deep pockets may have a soft spot for what they see here and come to the rescue. Fingers crossed.
I would love to own it but I would never get 15k in one go
If I could work out an agreement where I just pay for over time then I would but that depends on so meany things
Lawrie you should put a go fund me for both the ruston and 040 then you have more engines plus the railway would be happy to help you fix them go for it you only live once
