Wow never thought I'd see a diesel powered steam locomotive! This would be a great idea for keeping and using steam engines around the world for the sake of keeping the look but having it be more efficient and easier to maintain.
Some of the iron castings on these Locos were made by my father in the 30's at Ashby & Anderson Ltd Foundry, Hunslet Leeds ( sadly long gone) I'm now 81yrs young but I remember as a 12/13 yr old taking several rides on these wonderful old girls....Regards Noel Anderson
Neptune, built in 1931 is the worlds oldest operational diesel hydraulic locomotive. The two original locomotives at NBR were built with diesel engines for ease of operation, but were outlined to represent the top express engines of the day, the Gresley A1/A3 class steam locomotives. The driver of the second train in this film is my son.
What kid has never dreamed of being a train conductor? This is a really big toy that everyone loves. Take it for what it is! A great big toy to have "FUN" with. Great video ! ! !
So emotional seeing this beautiful little railway for the first time in 55 years, since my dear Mum and Dad took me for a ride on the train as a young boy. Thanks for stirring such fond memories of yesteryear. 😊
great to hear Terry. Hope you are keeping well and safe these days.....do you know which firm build the railway? There were quiet a few back then in Leeds, like hunslet and kitsons....all gone now.
Before anyone else keeps saying it's a shame they're not steam. Let me explain: these are quite old diesels built by a very well known steam building company Hudswell Clarke during the depression of the 1930's and are quite unique and well built, they only built 9 of this type to keep the workshop busy and fortunately they all survive. They are not a modern lash up.
Amazing to see this railway is still going. Fantastic childhood memories from the 1970’s of going on the pedlos and seeing/hearing these engines approaching. Cable cars seem to be gone though. I must admit I always thought they were steam powered but makes no difference they are still great.
I remember the little train that went from Battersea park gate to the fun fain, that was steam outline diesel too and sounded like a Thames Trader truck, lol. Nice video, nice railway.
Great video and an amazing little railway. Cannot help but laugh at the mugs on here posting negative comments about the fact the locomotives are steam outline Diesels, do some research and you will find these locos have ran since the 1930's on this railway and have historical significance on there own. And they are an attraction in their own right. I visit Scarborough every year and the railway is always bustling and in fantastic condition with friendly staff, if you are visiting Scarborough I whole heartedly recommend visiting the railway and Peasholm Park where the railway is located.
you're right. I would actually just spend more money to go on a real train than going to a miniature train ride that's powered by diesel and not real steam.
@@NortheastCorridorFilms what's dangerous? the smoke I can understand. what else? the heat? which is just the boiler. what else? no seriously. what else?....
I used to live in Scarborough and I loved this little railway. I knew one of the workers there, he was a nice bloke. On my birthday when I was younger, he let me be the conductor and honestly it was so exciting to 9 year old me. Ah nostalgia. I hope you're doing good wherever you are Steve (Steve is nice worker)
For the uninitiated these are OLD diesel locos that have historic merit in they're own right, they were built by Hudswell Clarke a well known steam loco builders during the 30's depression and were designed to be economical for the operators. So much so that they could afford another within a year of operating. You'll notice they are quite faithful in outline to the original steam loco and not the usual abortion you see built today. All of the nine built survive today and all but one run.
It's what you call a "steam profile" model. They're easier to maintain and cheaper by a factor of 10, although you miss out on the feel of an authentic steam locomotive. They're good if you can't afford (or don't want to pay for) and/or can't deal with the necessary maintenance for the real thing but still want the look of a steamer.
Morecambe Pleasure Park miniature railway This 20" gauge railway operated from 1953 until 1981. The two locomotives still survive and are now at the North Bay Railway in Scarborough.
Funny, I live near North Bay, and Scarborough is 4 hours away. I’ve never heard of this RR. Now I realize it’s NOT in Canada. I was gonna correct someone but I’m the one whose wrong. I’m still giggling inside. Great video and info in the comments. Thanks to you all.
Its the line token, a remnant of the old days. A driver couldnt proceed down the line unless he physically held the token ( there were different designs) This was to prevent mistakes when 2 trains could meet on the same line
I don't understand why people are so upset it doesn't run like an actual steam locomotive like... Do you know how much that would cost to operate? Not to mention the hazards of having steam/sparks from the fire box blowing in not only the drivers face, but the passengers face? It looks fine as it is in my opinion!!💚💚
People are asking why it is diesel and not steam the answer is that this is a seaside railway that gets its money from the summer season and is closed or only running at certain times of the year.
Una idea fabulosa para los amantes de los trenes. Voy a dedicar mucho esfuerzo para implementarlo en el lugar donde vivo en mi país Chile. Desde ya agradezco información y apoyo de las personas que puedan. Gracias.
Can someone point me in the right direction to companies that makes tracks and prices thanks I think more of these little lines should brought back to the public
+Neon Tube Two reasons...the residue from a smoke unit damages the paint work, and the smoke is a hazard for the driver who's head is above cab height when in the driving seat.
Raphael Smithwick because those are like you said actual steam railways they have been built to use steam traction these are used with Diesel engines in mind, if they were to put smoke generators in the locos that would involve more training.
It's not steam!!! I spoiled the video by turning the vspeaker on to listen to the steam engine. Oh well - the kids seemed to like it. Put a bigger muffler on it and use some steam sounds coordinated with the wheels. It's around. I think Maerklin has some for their trains.
My dad took me on the Peasholm Park railway in 1962. I take it this is the same one? I remember at the time being disappointed it wasn't proper steam but I felt the same about the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Express. Didn't spoil my enjoyment in either case though! Great little railway. Good to see that it runs both ways.

These are amazing little trains and the engineering should be appreciated 🏴
I love it!!!...that is a beautiful loco.. I'd be so happy to be that engineer, doing that daily....Love trains!

I was on this train in 1982. Talk about a blast from the past.
Absolute amazing rail therapy....Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it

Lovely footage! There have been many very happy customers since the 30s, me included - lots of times!
Wait.....what?
Your over 80??
Great film! Thank you for uploading it, we have just 'shared' it on our Facebook page.
Thanks very much, I really enjoyed your railway and I'm glad you enjoyed my video. :-)
Great video! Really enjoyed the passengers perspective!
Now if only I could drive/operate one :)
This is not about how realistic the train sounds, it’s about the joy this small railway brings to these people
Hey, steam or not this certainly is better than no railroad. Diesel in 1931, now that was way ahead of its time for sure:)
Especially making them _look_ like steamers, rather than just a box on wheels.
That looks like a DELIGHTFUL park to visit, wish I was there with my grandchildren! Bet it's more fun than ANY of the Disney parks and cheaper.
Which place is this?
Dunno why but I love that clacking sound trains make when going along the track
Ross Smith Yeah, I agree Ross ! :-)
Ross Smith It’s called a gap in between each rail connection. They have to repair the track soon or face derailment
yyyyyyyyyyy6 dl. lffy y kjjkjjkkk h ghhhhuuuuuuuuuuhfcmf
that heavy steel grinding on steel.....yes, yes yes!!
I used to love this train when I was young i went on it 24/7
Excellent! No live-steam locos, but well appreciated from my side, weil made…greetings from Germany!

Looks really nice but the effect is totally gone without the chugging, and hissing of steam
True that

Having a Steam engine fitted with a Diesel engine inside it just ain’t right, but great video tho 👍🏻

Hm fair enough.
Not really.
It’s not
It’s what I call identity thief
Nice video. The layout is pretty awesome. Well done!
How fun, someday hopefully I will ride this sweet little train♥️
Shame that loco has to be either diesel or petrol. It would be sweet if it was steam. A bit like Green Goddess from the RH&DR.
Oh yeah. Nice video btw. Shows the railway nicely.
thank you :-)
the do use a real steam train sometimes but not often.
Tomedy34 1994 yes
Or a oil burner
That looks like a fun job

did annyeone saw the pigeon at min 7:18
I liked it, better to have locos by diesel than not at all!
Thank for uploading.
Its good to see that they are using a "Staff" system on this railway . . . . . Safety First - especially with multiple trains working on single lines.
Thanks for the ride, awesome train !
Nice channel."thumbs up".
Thank you very much!
I don't like how there are diesal engines.thats one way to ruin a railway. But to be fair, they did a good job, so did you filming this. Matt
MI Rail thank you :-)
Exactly what I think about this loco and many others. It would be super if this was real steam.
I think you mean Diesel as in Rudolf Diesel who invented the 'Diesel' Engine
Oke yes
Ok pak pokok e siap
So beautiful video new friend!
Been on this so many times as a kid.
It's a good way to get around
Makes me want to ride the train at the Portland Zoo. Ahhh memories.
I remember going here a few times, got a look around the engine shed once
How did I get here?......
Which place is this? Would love to visit it once.
Scarborough in North Yorkshire.. Jesus Christ is the way
Is that an old rollercoaster in the water??
It’s an old water chute from an abandon small theme park.. Jesus Christ is the way
omg well done this has 1.1 million views 🤗
This is not how diesel took over from steam in the full scale world 😁
Still a beautiful railway, well built and I guess fun to ride.
This is what inspired, The miniature engines on Thomas And friends.
No, it was the RHDR locos that inspired them
Looks a very nice ride, pity its not steam, and the engine looks good, THANK YOU
It works on diesel. What is the whistle called?
What gauge is that
Each time a train pass one another it stops and the train driver pass an object to the other driver, may I know what is the object?
Its the line token, a remnant of the old days. A driver couldnt proceed down the line unless he physically held the token ( there were different designs) This was to prevent mistakes when 2 trains could meet on the same line
Never quite understood why they called it "Peasholm Park Station" when it's in "Northstead Manor Gardens" ... I think.
Hi. Very very good video.
Thank you.
Super ride
I love this my dad like a job here if he was here fun
psyclonesteve would have loved to have a job as a ride operator on a Roller Coaster and I think he would have worked for free.
I wish steam trains would come back to work. Not just as tourist attractions, but as actual working trains.
Not happening,as steam is considered unreliable and outdated
Nice video
I don't understand why people are so upset it doesn't run like an actual steam locomotive like... Do you know how much that would cost to operate? Not to mention the hazards of having steam/sparks from the fire box blowing in not only the drivers face, but the passengers face? It looks fine as it is in my opinion!!💚💚
But fire boxes have a little door that you can close it
What engine was inside the locomotive? I know it's Diesel, but what configuration?
Probably a straight 4 or 6
Maybe 2-4 litre?

People are asking why it is diesel and not steam the answer is that this is a seaside railway that gets its money from the summer season and is closed or only running at certain times of the year.

Where is the Railway
Can someone point me in the right direction to companies that makes tracks and prices thanks I think more of these little lines should brought back to the public
I would like to own one and ride around the yard
+Raven Roth so would I :-)
Same! I always have wanted one!
I much prefer the ROMNEY, HYTHE & DYMCHURCH RAILWAY , with real steam locos......
What about the Eastleigh Lakeside Railway?
It’s not a competition!

But you uploaded it a couple of months later?🤔
So what arsehole??
I have been on this.
Never overlook a little engine!
That is cool!

FYi I would LOVE to have his job!

I think they're all volunteers
why could they not have put a smoke machine in the funnel
+Neon Tube Interesting ! :-)
***** thanks
+Neon Tube Two reasons...the residue from a smoke unit damages the paint work, and the smoke is a hazard for the driver who's head is above cab height when in the driving seat.
then how come other miniature railways have proper steam engines with ACTUAL smoke and drivers directly behind?
Raphael Smithwick because those are like you said actual steam railways they have been built to use steam traction these are used with Diesel engines in mind, if they were to put smoke generators in the locos that would involve more training.
I like green steam trains 😁👍

A few days ago, on my journey to England , i‘ve seen this rails, wondering what they are for. Now I now...
greetings from Germany
Why does it sound like a diesel?
Because it is. They put a Diesel engine in it instead.
@@taxslave5906 why
@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 Probably because Diesel engines are easier to maintain and they can simply turn it on and off.

WonderfulL!!!
wish they wud bring the chair lift back, they were brill
Agree with "Meengineer 100" about the lack of steam. Doesn't seem authentic. Like riding in a car on RR tracks.
