Hello everyone,
Today we make a welcome return to the Mid Suffolk Light Railway, for a look at a steam locomotive - though its probably not as you know it!
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter and sudden fan of the Belgians.
Geffers - Cameraman unaware of how he's ended up back at the MSLR.
If you like what you've seen and want more information on the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway - or you're interested in joining the railway, have a look at their website.
www.mslr.org.uk/
Note: For the sequence when Lawrie is speaking to the camera, there are no members of the public on board the train.
I've got an Instagram! Keep track of what I'm up to with Lawries_Mechanical_Marvels

Are you sure that's actually a whistle and not just a spare blowoff valve? 😆

Very good of you to help preserve the metalwork in each of those areas on the Belgian locomotive. Very thoughtful for the future life of that delightful steamer.

Did you notice, there are one or two bullet holes in it, from the war no doubt ?!😆

I'm beginning to think the control setup is what inspired the control console on the TARDIS.

30 minutes of sheer joy while ironing a months worth of shirts 😁. Nice little loco if a bit weird. When you said the pit road was occupied but you had to go under to lube the axleboxes I half expected you to reappear with a trolley jack and a pair of axle stands!

As tiny as that locomotive is, the stack-talk is awesome.

Preserving the metal work..... I'll have to remember that one next time we overfill the final drive gearbox on our DMU....

I’m happy to hear you call it a locomotive, most people in Britain call these tram engines as you said. In Maldegem we have a cockerill type 5 that will soon be restored. I’ll ask my dad if he has more information. Many of these engines left Belgium in the 80s, back then he was also involved with the restoration of a type 4 over here, so he might know something about this one

Sure it is not a tram engine ... but with just one coach ... it totally reminds me of the first episode of Tobi in Thomas the tank engine : )

All steam locos (indeed, all locos period) are beautiful in their own way. Life would be empty if there were no nostalgic locomotives from the good old days to admire and enjoy. Thank you for sharing these videos. :) Makes me happy indeed

Absolutely the best description of steam injector operation EVER. Well done sir!

A very interesting, mysterious little locomotive. I love this channel a lot as a heritage volunteer myself, I love the in depth explanations of the engines you look at and the way you show the actual operation. And I totally agree on locos and stock that aren't "Supposed" to run together, sometimes they just look right somehow. Keep up the good work!

I love it. Absolutely love it.

For some reason, I've gotten extremely interested in locomotives that are unconventional or experimental. This definitely fits the bill for the former.
