LOCO PROFILE:
French farmer and engineer Paul Decauville owned a large estate at Petit Bourg near Paris where he grew sugar beet. In 1875 Decauville devised a portable narrow gauge railway system to assist with the harvest. Following the success of the railway he marketed his system throughout the world for use on plantations and estates. In 1882 Decauville started to manufacture locomotives at Petit Bourg. In 1897 he built two 0-4-2 tank locomotives works numbers 246 and 247, which were shipped to Queensland for use in the rapidly developing sugar industry. Named ‘Victory’ in 1897, No.246 first worked at lnvicta Mill near Bundaberg which had been built by the sugar pioneer Frederick Buss. ‘Frenchy’ as the engine became known, worked at two other mills before it was retired in the 1940s. After being bought by an Australian enthusiast No.246 went on to work at a theme park in Canberra. ‘Victory’ came to Bredgar in 1996 where it underwent an extensive rebuild including a new boiler before returning to use in 2006.

They really are great locos the 73s better without all that ugly gubbins that's on the front buffer beam .Rip all that crap off the front and get it back to looking original . The EDs are still running around on the national network and that's a great testament to what reliable locos they are .Big up English Electric prime movers !!.
@@matthew0605 Look forward for to the 29th September as the East Kent Railway has a diesel electric day with 73130 and a Class 08 running the only gatwick express set in preservation! Only thing I'd say is that's its good she has kept the Schengen coupling as it has made her one of a kind 73 that has it! you never know she may have a eurostar power car behind her at somepoint as intended 😏
apik.. sepure ora ono langes e. koyo sepur uap neng negoroku
Ya, sepur warisan ora cenderung dawa banget ing Inggris, nanging kadhangkala bisa! Bungah sampeyan seneng video
Will you be going to the gala in October
Defo will be there for that! I take it you 2 will be?
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT Yes we will definitely be there!
Is that Donald or Douglas
I'd say it's Douglas he's my favourite out the 2!
Is that in Los Gatos California at vasona Park because they have one of these trains there too so I was just wondering if this is Los Gatos California or somewhere else
@@bansftp1090 No this is Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway in the UK! If they have one there then that's going on my list of places to go!
The only have diesels but couple of years ago got a peckett but sadly it’s currently out of service and they have just started work on another steam engine
Yeah as I mentioned it's going to be a sentinel working the line, very unique for the southeast! Looking forward to going back at the end of September for the diesel electric day!
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT yes I forgot the sentinel somewhere on site you can find the boiler for it
Having variable audio volume.
Yeah having issues with sound as I film & edit off the same phone until i can upgrade my setup! Will try harder!
I was there
Thought you may have been! Such a fantastic event wasn't it?
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT yes it was
I saw you there
@Steamrailwaysuk Next time you see me, feel free to say hello 👋 I'm always up for a chat when at railways! Are you going to Richmond Light Railway Tomorrow?
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT ok will do
Aaron an amazing video mate, u have done the railway proud, was a great day out, BWLR volunteer
@@tanyaalvis7080 Wow, thankyou for that comment! Means alot as that's what I've tried to achieve, this place needs to be on the Map, I think now that I've been to all the railways, any gauge based in the swale area need a big shove to realise what they've got in their back yard and help promote them!
That’s spelt Tenterden. Stoopid predictive text.
🙌 Finally someone knows the pain!
Think up there as one of the best 👌
@@karenreeves7966 Thankyou! defo the best I've had with the railways! 🤘🏻
Cannot wait to see him on our next visit to the railway 😊
Yes! it was very special seeing running around New Romney, so glad she is running again!
And the worse part: You get told off if you say Sir Topham’s nickname,The Fat Controller! 😞
375303, My child, such a lovely train
If you heard some kids shouting "Sweet Caroline" That was me & my friends! 😅 We were celebrating a freinds birthday and we went a bit crazy! 😂
I think I do remember that actually 🤣🤣
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT Oh god! 🤣 It was at 9:45 in the morning when we got Churchill up to Dungeness, but when we got back to New Romney, the kicked all the passengers and replaced Churchill with Northen Chief with 2 more extra coaches (as it was a bike rider charter railtour) then on the return back up to Dungeness, we got Doctor Syn with the bar car, then back at New Romney, they changed locos with Green Goddess! 😁 It was a fun dayout! Sorry we ruined your video if we did sing in it! 😅🤣
Wow! 😮
Doctor Syn rolling in: Next drive- I MEAN patient please! 😅😂
That what I call value for money. Can’t even buy a cup of coffee for that price.
@@grovevilla Yes! Very good point there I wish I used that example 🤣 Very good value for what you experience in these current days and the best part is you can just hover around the station watching trains all day! Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT 10 minutes drive from us and I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been there 😟
Awesome, can't wait Aron 😊
@@m9293 It's out now !
nice, but "John Southland " is a great story of Kent's education system.

It's a scenic special railway that attracts many folks around the country! 🙂
@@SSccaanniiaa It certainly does, I've been going since I was atleast 3 and I'm now 31 🤣
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT The love & appreciation will live on with the railway for ages! 🙂
Exactly! It's what I love about this railway is is it that its 101 years old and it has not changed one bit, just love it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT Thank you! 😁 Captain Howey NO.14 will be returning but in a different Look & sound! 😮
Electric?
That's Me on 25:25.
@@geoffreystoddart3503 Ah glad someone from the railway has commented! saw you on a few trains with a clipboard all day was you taking numbers of passengers through out the day? Was great to JB Snell out and about again under her own steam! (diesel)
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT Thank You, and just to be clear I wasn't taking numbers of passengers that day, I was doing something else that I'm not allowed to tell.
@@geoffreystoddart3503 ooooooohh exciting! 👀 Must say eveytime I go (lost count now) it just gets better and better never seen such an efficiently ran railway!
Very underated Channel! Been to RH&DR And is a great experience and is so fun going so fast on a suprisingly small minature train 😃
@@williamsavory5943 Thanks William appreciate the feedback there, yes certainly so much fun knowing your only going 25mph but feels like 80 on the mainline!
Great Video - for the record, the J94 was purchased ready to run - not kit.
Apologies I do remember you saying that but I got it mixed up on the editing table 🙈 fantastic loco though would love to own one soon!
HOW MUCH POWER DOES HAVE OMFG
Stupid format.
@@mydogbrian4814 What's wrong with the format?
A nice video showcasing the club and locos. From one of the owners of Polly 1 😂 This is a hobby for all ages, I started building Polly 1 at the age of 13. It is an original JGS Clarke model (with some of our own upgrades) and I remember visiting his workshop in Wales to collect some castings.
What that is amazing! Lovely little loco I don't think I've ever seen a polly 1 before, but glad it's helping put your club on the map and you enjoyed it!
Lots of fun to be had by all!
Very underrated place! I would highly recoomend if you love steam trains like I do, as plenty of variety if different types of loco from narrow gauage to standard gauge!
No way! Where is this on the island?
Bartons Point Coastal Park, I forgot to mention this! 🤦
Number one like!!!!
BBQ and trains. All you need now is a beer! Looks like great fun.
I wish had a doom bar in hand at the time but was great fun as always!
The triple camera thing makes this quite difficult to watch.
Apologies there hhf9152, I'm only using my phone camera to film! At somepoint I'll be upgrading to a proper camera and will use my phone to do portrait filming, I only do it to fill in the screen for shorts, but checkout my videos and let me know what you think!
Love the mini trains at Mote park 😀
Yes definatley, always used to spend my Sundays down there watching the miniature railway and if there was any rc boats on the lake!
Lovely video and sparked memories of my youth. I seem to remember that the West Cliff Railway was steam powered back in the day, guess it isn't now; the East Cliff is still water balance powered (if still working). Spent my early teens living in that area and volunteered on the HMR, a very different railway in those days.
Your piece to camera at the beginning has the view transposed so the station sign is sdrawkcab . Loved the content!
Hornby, now owned by Mike Ashley - what more do you expect - cheap tat overpriced for mugs!
This was renovated before the takeover with formalised but its very on par with what you think Mike Ashley would want 🤣
Must visit there soon, looks like a brilliant day out!
You should!
Hornby's warehouse and logistics operation has been outsourced and is now based in Hersden nr Canterbury, it was run by DS Logistics there. This occured when Hornby also moved it's base to a new business park near Sandwich. They then moved back to the Margate (Westwood) site but only in terms of office operations, which was featured in the James May, two part documentary. The visitor centre now re-invented as wonder works has always remained at Westwood. In my opinion the former Dover Western Docks / Dover Marine station now a cruise terminal office and car park operation would have made a good site for a railway museum. We could do with one specialising in Southern region stock and there used to be a transport museum at Clapham before it moved to York.
Would encourage any attempt to bring in more metrologic equipment use for track laying.
The site is owned by LSL, and Hornby rent their space, I dont know how Hornby can still call it a museum, its not even a visitor centre anymore , they've ripped the heart out of the place, Wonderworks is nothing more than a glorified showroom for their products, prices are sky high, other retail outlets normally sell cheaper when direct from the manufacturer, the place is a waste of space, its exactly the same floor space as the old visitor centre, but there was far more to see and learn from, today its an absolute joke, the historical part of Hornby, what is did, how its progressed has been eradicated by the new management there - as a former employee, I enjoyed the old visitor centre, I had a sense of pride of seeing what I did there, I loaned them an original 1960s tri-ang Hornby electric cleaning brush for locos still in its original packaging for display in old visitor centre, its never been returned to me. I wouldn't waste my time in there, as I say wonder works, coz its a wonder anything works, quality is so low.
Very well put, I completely forgot LSL owns the site so thankyou for that! but completely true its just such a shame its the way it is. Its a true reflection onnwhat Hornby stands for now, basic. Hope you enjoyed the video by the way!
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT it confirmed the bitter disappointment I encountered upon seeing it - I thought "what the heck is this?" In short it's an utter embarrassment for Margate, the home of Hornby, I live up the road from it and its positively shocking - when it re opened last September, everything went up in price 33%, even sales stuff was increased by 33% - the cafe does superb sausage rolls - to die for - but only a month ago they did the worst thing - you've guessed it, a price increase on sausage rolls of 33%! Nothing is sacred anymore
I feel your pain!
Was so gutted! got there half hour early to maksure I had a good spot aswell 🤣
czcams.com/video/-7b7SJoqvW0/video.htmlsi=xQNcREq6kpah7SOA
Brilliant day out
Lovely stuff. We really enjoyed are visit and to be behind that loco too....epic.
Interesting video thanks. Last time I was in Broadstairs was in the 1950's. I remember my brother and I going out to one of the Lightships on the Goodwins, and some time after (not sure just when) the Lightship broke free of its moorings and was lost with all hands . Also, our holiday was cut short following the drowning of a French student, who fell or jumped off the pier. I remeber the commotion on the beach as her body was found. Nice to see there are actually attractions to visit, including burgers, lol.
Glad you like the video, gives you a good reason to head on back down there and have a wander around!
Another good video, nice to see different things around Kent 😊
Glad you liked the video! Places like the museum need to be put on the map!
@@TRAVELMANOFKENT 100% anything with trains should 😂
Think I’ll be visiting Broadstairs soon. Liked the burger review you should do more of them!
Thanks for the feedback i will do,I'll get better as times goes on!
Congratulations to the KESR team and thank you for this great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thankyou for watching! 👍🏻
