Having seen her working at the R & E Rly long ago in the past. It was nice to hear her history. Plus she looks nicer as a tender engine. A visit to Cleethorpes to she her I think is a must.

Oh, we have one of those and it's English too. Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, 15in guage. Colloquially known as, Laa'l Ratty. In the heart of the English Lake District. Originally used for hauling slate. What's your Snooker table made of? Keswick slate?

They moved granite from beckfoot quarry, and la'al ratty was mentioned in our Loco Histories video about Bonnie Dundee.

Have travelled behind Rachel in the old 15” gauge days on the Fairbourne Railway in the late 1970’s … her and Sylvia were the Fairbournes two passenger diesel locos back in those days. While Rachel plus most of the original rolling stock left the line when it was regauged, Sylvia went on to be rebuilt as Lilian Walter

What a charming story! Excellent video. I usually find music added to railway videos distracting, but this soft piano was the perfect choice and actually enhanced the narration. Her story reminds me of the faithful old wood axe: "It has had two new handles, and three new blades, but it is the longest enduring axe I ever bought!" : )

@CleethorpesCoastLightRailway3 ай бұрын
yes, we've been a 15 inch gauge railway since 1994 after a re-gauge from 14 1/4 inch gauge. we were originally a 10 1/4 inch gauge railway from 1948 to 1971 when it became 14 1/4 inch

Lovely footage - great to see the 1991 gala with 24, Sydney, River Irt, and Mannertreu! I've never seen video of Tracy-Jo in it's red colour & petrol guise. Also never knew there was a shed at the end of the headshunt back then. (P.S. it would have been even lovelier if it had been digitised more carefully. The comb artifacts and the frame rate of this video being 30 both suggest to me that it should be interpreted as interlaced footage so that the video editing software knows to properly de-interlace it, and after that render it at the correct frame rate of 50fps.)

Excellent documentary. Sad that none of the four survive. It was strange to see the way they were "stored" in a haphazard pile in the 1970s before being offered for sale. I have to assume from the way they are stacked, or just thrown on top of each other in that photo, that the locomotives pictured are just the body shells and had been separated from their frames, motors, and wheels. Pictures like that tell a story I can personally relate to. I am located in the USA. I have a somewhat similar looking streamlined locomotive body shell, with a storied amusement park history, that I am hoping to restore to operation one day. About the same size - mine is 30" wide, about 30" tall, and 10 feet long. Built circa 1951. Was 16 inch gauge originally. Anyway, my shell has a huge inward arching dent at the center of one side of the body. Looking at the "stored" equipment photo in this video gives me an idea of how that damage probably occurred. Keep up the great videos.
@legiontheatregroup6 ай бұрын
Great video! Appreciated all the details like dimensions and the timeline. As a fan of historic miniature locomotives, I find it sad when they are rebuilt to resemble full-size narrow gauge motive power. It’s a personal aesthetic choice. I love tiny gauge engine’s with full cabs too, but scale miniature locomotives have a distinct magic that is all their own.
