By far the best 10 1/4" inch gauge in the UK that I've seen. They've really done an excellent job there and it looks the part too. 👍

This reminds me of my grandfather who loved trains brings back good memories of us building our model trains when i child! Glad this exists and hope it always will

Fantastic video, and what a terrific place to visit Martin. Strangely enough it is only a short drive from me and I never knew it existed. Providing my next heart surgery works, a real must to visit next year. Cheers, Bob

Very good, well done guys! Thanks for filming

As a long time steam enthusiast growing up in Australia, I followed my Grandfather. I must say this is a delight to watch. Would have loved to be there that day but a little far to drive. The video is very well shot and edited. Love it.

Definitely has its charm, plus I like the combo between UK and US motive power. The 752 is really well done, bringing all the awesome of a Nickel Plate Berkshire... in pint size. :D It would've been flawless if it had those flanking number boards next to the bell, though. Shoudln't be too hard to make them, and they don't have to be lighted as long as they get the general shape right. :)

What lovely long circuit you get there ... very nice video!

Fabulous video. Nice steady shooting, smooth zooms and high quality. The event looks great. I need to get a motorhome and have a weekend there.:) I'll look up where it is. Thanks for sharing!

I am always impressed by these machines, each one of them a labour of love.

Hi Martin Kia Ora from down here in New Zealand. I, just found your channel which I have now joined. Nice collection of video's ........Regards Mark

HI what a great video Martin Glad you enjoyed it. In answer to the comments this is at Stapleford Railway near Melton Mowbray Leics LE14 2SF The line is just under 2 miles total as we run on a balloon loop around the lake returning up the bank and through the tunnel. We carry about 50 passengers on 9 coaches which needs double heading with smaller locos or the big Americans can handle themselves. Those two were built at Stapleford in 1971 for NKP Berks and and 1997 NYC Niagara. Track is 10 1/4" and scale is about 1/5th We only open twice a year at the moment 2018 dates are Sat sun June 9th 10th and three day August BH 25-27th August Sat-BH Monday Thanks Nigel Press officer for the railway

What an enjoyable experience. I live in Oregon, in the U.S., and we have a similar location in the town of Brooks, called Antique Powerland. They hold a similar open weekend each summer that includes antique vehicle displays and a parade of antique tractors. The complex includes a miniature railway and also a full-size rail museum, the Oregon Electric Railway Museum, that includes a wide variety of antique city trams and interurban trolleys. The museum offers tram rides on its loop around the complex.

G'day Martin what a wonderful railway and beautiful engines I really enjoyed the video I have subscribed regards John Tasmania Australia

The SMR featured in a 1960s episode of the television show The Avengers called "The Gravediggers", where Emma Peel (played by actress Diana Rigg), was tied to the railway track, before Steed rescued her just in time.[ theavengers.tv/forever/peel1-2.htm

Less and less of these events nowdays, due to soaring public liability costs. To run an event like this now where I live ( Australia), is almost impossible. No company will insure you, and if they do, the cost is phenomenal. The only other option is to ensure every person attending signs a waiver and accepts all risk themselves. All this by design of course, to keep children obese and in front of the black screen.

It saddens and annoys me in equal measure when somebody models a set of fairground rides. They are meticulous in the detail and committment in the quality of build, but they usually fall down quite badly in one thing that makes all their efforts look ridiculous. The rides are usually far too fast for their scale. In one shot in this video, a set of gallopers isn`t turning, it`s spinning at a speed that would impose G forces comparable to those felt by a fighter pilot in a tight turn. Why can`t modellers sort out the gearing on the rides before they show their works of love to the public ?

Almost everyone is facing backwards why?.
