That takes me back many years to the day when my parents and I discovered a steam train running in Groudle Glen. As a child I loved my IOM holidays. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm an occasional volunteer on the GGR though I wasn't there that day - great to see such a good video of the line - and you had a beautiful day for it.

Great video showing both trains in action,good to meet you again.
Fantastic I remember wandering along that line a few times before it was restored.
Thank you. A short, but quaint little railway to say the least!

Thanks capitalrail. Been fortunate to get to the GGR for the last few days, and have been really lucky with the weather too!
If anyone is wondering what it is at 11:20, it is the remains of the zoo, which kept polar bears,
Great video, thanks for posting it!
I just bought that simplex sm32 gauge model which was on ebay 3 days ago..didnt reaslise till i googled the name the seller had it was a actual loco..
What is the name of the small green loco that looks like a coffee urn on wheels? :-)
It's called the 'Steamplex'; a combination of a vertical steam boiler, and the chassis of a Simplex diesel loco.
