Great film. Great place too. A well kept, tidy site. Like the layout of it all. Yes, looks a very nice club, the members should be proud. Nice person to let you both drive his loco. :-)
+BillycanKay I agree with all your comments Kay,great bunch of guys.The owner of the Fairburn is bringing another loco to our Open Weekend in June,so were both looking forward to seeing that as well. How did your first weekend go at Evergreens?.....Best wishes Chris
+wooltman Open day went o.k. thanks :-) None of us did any filming or took still shots though. When in June is the Melton/Whissendine open weekend please?
+BillycanKay If you come on the Saturday you might see the Flying Haggis as it's booked to pass through Oakham that day,were all going down to watch it.
+Robert Masterman The club made us very welcome and we had a good time with them.When the Fairburn has had the drain cocks repaired she will run even better,but she looked and sounded a treat.......Best wishes Chris.
+AndreiTupolev Hi Andrei,That was a first for me as well, but great fun.We liked the track, very smooth and the Fairburn ran very well on it.Also they had built a road way for the traction engine owners to run there loco's on.We will visit this one again.....Best wishes Chris.
Looks an awesome place...Liked how the track went through the workshop ! That Fairburn Tank looked lovely..You must have both enjoyed the run behind it....Very enjoyable video...Best wishes....Steve.-:)
+Steve Lewis Video Channel. That is very unusual using the workshop as a running line and tunnel,but a great idea if you get a rain shower, just pull up into the workshop.We would have loved to take the Fairburn home with us Steve,never seen that model done in 7 1/4 gauge before.........Best wishes Chris.
+Mark Synth:RealityIzPainful Thank you so much for your kind comments they are much appreciated Mark.We enjoy these trips out in our quest to ride all the railways of GB,we meet so many nice people doing it and by filming our locations I hope others get the same enjoyement as us.....Very best wishes Chris.
Great video as always Chris, that Fairburn is Beutiful remember seeing that at the Southwold model railway show in fact its on one of my films ,regards Graham
+Grahams G1 Trains Hi Graham. I will check out your video asap,the Fairburn is a lovely loco.We visited Southwold on the Friday,nice place but a very cold wind blowing so we never got a paddle in the sea LOL! I hope they can get planning permission for the Southwold Railway soon.....Best wishes Chris
Looks like you had a n enjoyable Sunday there Chris , looks a great club to be a member of with that circuit of track and drive in to the engine shed , Rosie certainly enjoyed being in the drivers seat by the looks on her face , not sure about the expression on yours ?? LOL ..Dave
+David Howarth Hi Dave,We have a very enjoyable visit to this club,very friendly but you find that at most clubs.The track layout of the raised track was different,that's a first for me driving through the workshop.Rosie didn't need asking twice to have a drive,I don't like being filmed really Dave.Great weekend roll on the next one,not long now......Best wishes Chris.
Hi Adrian.He was earlier in the year when he visited our open weekend.Lovely guy David he let us both drive his lovely loco's,just a shame we never got any video of our Open weekend during his visit but I did drive the 2-6-4 again.........Regards Chris
Chris, there are some BR Fairburns at the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway ..... will you be heading to Cumbria to see them? They also have Barclays, Bagnalls and a Hunslett :-))
Most clubs have a hydraulic lift,you back your car or van up to it,then off load your loco.The loco can then be raised or lowered to the track. You can see this in operation on my videos from the Nottingham club.
Great video! Love the Fairburn Tank Engine.
Glad you enjoyed it...The Fairburn is for sale if you want it.
once again top video. some lovely locos and a great looking line

I like how the line runs through the workshop. Lovely LMS tank. Clever layout, one circuit of the line gives you two laps in effect.

Another beautifully shot video! I genuinly applaud the fact you're doing this project, you're a bit like the new Giles Favell!

Nice to seem my old friend Dave H with his LMS 2-6-4T. I hope he is still running his other 7.25 inch locomotives too.

Would have been nice to see how they put the train onto the track at beginning. Never mind
