I absolutely enjoyed that adventure Steve... keep exploring these hidden treasures!

I tell you something Mr Picker, I’m all about the watermills and the era of industry just prior to steam taking over (I love steam too, obviously), but irrespective of topic and era, your videos always put a smile on my chops and a want to go galavanting around Derbyshire in my heart. On the one hand, it’s a shame the old engine shed is in the state it’s in, but on the other, it’s always exciting to see these things hidden away in backwoods and off the beaten track.

Ye you two are right WHY left to rot ! Blood sweat and tears have gone into these places and like they don't care but people like you 2 and me love all this ,shame on them

I CAN REMEMBER VISITING THE RAI CENTER AT DINING 1978 CLCLE FROM WORKSOP TO SEE THE LION LOCOMOTIVE.

Awesome! Great noseh, thank you!

We used to call them the Dinting Arches.

Great video, I,m in Buxton model engineering club and back in the 80s 90s we had a model club track here for weekend running, When it closed we had to take up the track, it was stored for a few years before being sold, we couldn’t find a new home for it ,

Such an amazing place. You do go far and wide to see some great things.

I visited Dinting museum in the late 70s and think I saw steam loco Leander there. I went back and found the shed and was shocked at how overgrown it had become. When we visited we must have walked from the derelict platform side as it didn’t take that long and there wasn’t any climbing

Such a underrated channel

Another fantastic video!

I remember travelling behind 'lion' in the yard at dinting.....shows my age.

My wife is a Leicestershire girl, and she has really enjoyed listening to your commentary. It really reminded her of her Mum, now gone! "Oat or note" a classic saying. Another fascinating explore into industrial archaeology, so well done fellas.

Thanks for keeping me entertained whilst waiting for the RAC Steve 😳👍

@LeiceExplore I love this! Makes feel like a kid again too. New subscriber here! 😊 Just today i was able to see a real piece of railroad history in action and i was giddy as a school boy! 😅 Take a minute and look up the Union Pacific BigBoy 4014 It's a restored 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive. It has just set out on a short Westward tour of a few U.S. states. It steamed past me and a group of others today and it was breathtaking! It's the 2nd time ive seen it in action since its restoration about 6 years ago. So grateful to see it on track again. 😲

Another cracking video. It’s refreshing to see the sheer enthusiasm of you both, even at silly o’clock. These old remains of our proud heritage of a bygone era are sadly disappearing now, so it’s fantastic that you are archiving these in your videos. Keep up the good work dear boy.

Yet another great video Steve. I think the old architectural detail that went into every building is what makes it. Most buildings from the 60's on could be pulled down and replaced and you wouldn't realise, they're now so bland. Keep up the great work. 👍

Another cracking explore thanks for posting, can't believe what we've lost in such a short time. Beautiful stone work on the viaduct. Love the early start, thanks again.

Loved that Steve and Steve. That station is a beautiful thing. There's something about standing next to a viaduct or aquaduct and looking up to appreciate the magnificent feat of engineering it took. But again it's the minor details that catch the eye like the canopy support or the bracing on the aquaduct or that lovely gothic arched doorway on the waiting room

You quite summed up the feeling of a wintry Monday morning, huddled round the fire, waiting for the train to take you to work... dreading it

OMG I'm watching a couple on another YT channel renovate an old station, similar to Dinting architecturally, and the decay of that beautiful building is criminal. Loved the outing, thank you for another fun vid!

Nice one fellas, You'll have to start wildlife channel Steve with your knowledge 👍🤣

Superb video gentleman, made 32 mins on the X-Trainer go in no time. Well done on the 3k subscribers, onwards and ever upwards, can we hope for the LeicExplore est1840 T-shirts in the near future?

I just remembered going to the railway centre when I was a child in the late 70's. Shame it closed but at least it's survived & not been redeveloped into an industrial estate.

Loved it dude, keep it up for us that don't have much of this infrastructure around.

I also went there with my dad, probably in the 1970's. If I remember correctly, it was the home of the Bahamas society?

Subscribed a few days ago, love all things railway related. I am really enjoying your channel. 🚂👍

Shame they leave those structures to rot like that. Thanks for sharing what is left of them.

Hi Steve, well both of you. Loved it mate, I don’t know how you do it but glad you do.👋👋👋👌

Nice explore 👌 👍shame it's in this state though

Would love to restore the old station into a private residence

Brilliant nosey mate

That viaduct is known locally as t'Dinting Arches.

Facebook doesn't own those photos. Credit should go to the actual photographer.
