I visited your railway for the very first time just two weeks ago on a Monday and i must say fell in love with the pace. I do many preserved railways but it took me until now to reach yours being over 250 miles from where i live and i will definitely be visiting again with in the next 12 months. All the Staff/Volunteers were excellent and very welcoming and i met some of them again by chance two days later when visiting the Didcot railway centre as they were also having a look round there. I have been wanting to visit for a while now having watched Wills videos and very well presented they are. Thank You for a great day out!
Been to the diesel gala event on the Friday, and I wondered what that tractor on the flatbed was, well now I know! Many thanks to the wagons team for preserving the less-appreciated vehicles!
Thanks all for your hard work. Funny but in all my years as and ex railway man (apprentice Derby), I have never given much thought too wagons on a preserved railway. Running a wagon non stop through I should imagine, add that extra experience to the visitor. I did take an opportunity to visit the watercress many year's ago, (1985) and must come over again, I should imagine a lot has changed.
As a future video it would be great if you did an episode on Alton signalling and how it interfaces with the main line. Always look forward to your videos. 👏👏👏
In the 1950s I used to walk to work past the Broad Lane works of Ferguson and every day there was a stream of TE20 tractors exiting one end of the works, travelling up the yard and disappearing into the same building. I used to wonder if they were all new tractors or the same ones in some fiendish Russian style productivity fraud. Was the manager supposed to have a given number of units go out of the door every hour?
Hi Team Mid Hants. I do enjoy the production teams' videos keeping us mortals informed.

When talking about "north side", is this "as it currently sits", or do wagons have a specific "north side"?
did you enjoy truck fest?
"... in your dairy ..."?
