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 ! ! !

These are amazing little trains and the engineering should be appreciated 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

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.

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.

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. 😊

I love it!!!...that is a beautiful loco.. I'd be so happy to be that engineer, doing that daily....Love trains!

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.

Absolute amazing rail therapy....Thank you for sharing

I was on this train in 1982. Talk about a blast from the past.

This is not about how realistic the train sounds, it’s about the joy this small railway brings to these people

my father Frank Hall deceased of york was involved in building these in leeds in 1931, i was born in 1935 now aged 84 years, cheers

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.

Lovely footage! There have been many very happy customers since the 30s, me included - lots of times!

I used to love this train when I was young i went on it 24/7

Great video! Really enjoyed the passengers perspective! Now if only I could drive/operate one :)

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)

Dunno why but I love that clacking sound trains make when going along the track

Hey, steam or not this certainly is better than no railroad. Diesel in 1931, now that was way ahead of its time for sure:)

Great film! Thank you for uploading it, we have just 'shared' it on our Facebook page.

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.

Thanks for the ride, awesome train !

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.

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.

How fun, someday hopefully I will ride this sweet little train♥️

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.

Nice video. The layout is pretty awesome. Well done!

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

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

man it would be fun too own this. cheers from across the pond. Michigan U.S.A.

Excellent! No live-steam locos, but well appreciated from my side, weil made…greetings from Germany!

"Never Overlook a Little Engine"!

That looks like a fun job

I liked it, better to have locos by diesel than not at all! Thank for uploading.

I remember going here a few times, got a look around the engine shed once

It's a good way to get around

Been on this so many times as a kid.

Nice channel."thumbs up".

So beautiful video new friend!

Its good to see that they are using a "Staff" system on this railway . . . . . Safety First - especially with multiple trains working on single lines.

Makes me want to ride the train at the Portland Zoo. Ahhh memories.

Looks a very nice ride, pity its not steam, and the engine looks good, THANK YOU

Looking great !! 😍

I have been on that exact railway on my holiday in Scarborough

Super ride

I love this my dad like a job here if he was here fun

This is what inspired, The miniature engines on Thomas And friends.

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.

Sweet ride

It is beautiful. When you people learn about steam and the laws to operate one and the extra work to fire the boiler and the required licenses to use one and the inspections to keep it up to date and the expenses for the day to day use, you will know why there are not many live steam engines still running

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.

I was always wondering where this was... but then i went on holiday here

I have been on this.

omg well done this has 1.1 million views 🤗

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.

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.

I’ve been there in 2016 or 2017 it is really fun

WonderfulL!!!

Awesome bro

Never overlook a little engine!

Amazing

Hi. Very very good video.

That's a cool looking train geus I like trains

That is cool!

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.

Nioce video by the way 👍

Nice video

I've been on this!

I like green steam trains 😁👍

Thief ice very Amazing moment

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

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.

I wish steam trains would come back to work. Not just as tourist attractions, but as actual working trains.

This is awesome

it is like thomas and friends never overlook a little engine

Well done!

Cool

Not steam but still superb models !

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

That locomotive looks like Henry from Thomas and friends 🚂🚂🚂

did annyeone saw the pigeon at min 7:18

FYi I would LOVE to have his job!

Now... Blackpool Pleasure Beach has a very nice railway, or did, when I last went there. Not a scenic line like this, but by far more complex with branches and loops all over the place. I'm given to believe that their locos were indeed in steam, but converted to diesel at some later date. The trouble at Blackpool was that they were always cramming more attractions into the same busy piece of land, and the railway seemed always to be being lifted and relayed to give way to the other, more modern, attractions. Now, I rather thought that these locos at Scarborough sounded very much like they're powered by Perkins diesel engines, and not at all unlike the Massey Ferguson 165 we once owned, or the Perkins 4-154 diesel on our 'off-grid' generator (basically an updated version of the motor in the Fergy tractor).

No words to say

Nice

Never quite understood why they called it "Peasholm Park Station" when it's in "Northstead Manor Gardens" ... I think.

That's the biggest little steam engine I've ever seen.

ITS THE FLYING SCOTSMAN

wish they wud bring the chair lift back, they were brill

24:09 That kid sounds like a brat!

I would like to own one and ride around the yard

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.

классно просто супер мне нравится на 2000%

very nice film and railway come to CLEETHORPES and ride on ours in steam

What gauge is that

I much prefer the ROMNEY, HYTHE & DYMCHURCH RAILWAY , with real steam locos......

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!!💚💚

That look liked Rex from Thomas and friends

How did I get here?......

At my local miniature railway the children are not particularly interested in steam but want to ride behind the diesels!
