Leicester Abbey Pumping station narrow gauge railway was running a Simplex diesel hauled train service on our visit,the steam loco was having boiler repairs.
+Robert Masterman Lot's to see and a Space Centre next door,when the pump is running and the loco is repaired we will make another visit......Regards Chris.
Wow, what a great Day out you must have had....First all those old Hornby and Meccano sets...and now a ride on a Narrow Gauge Railway...Looked fun being hauled by the Petter Locomotive...bet your Bums were numb after riding in that Wagon.....!! hee hee...Best wishes.....Steve.-:)
+Steve Lewis Video Channel. Your so right Steve! No suspension on the wagons I was amazed the film was as still as it was,all hand held.We enjoyed our afternoon so much we will return when the pump is running and the loco is repaired,might even make a day of it and visit the Space Centre in the morning......Regards Chris.
+David Howarth I have been meaning to visit this museum for years and I wasn't disappointed,will be back when the pump and the loco is repaired,great afternoon out.Might visit the Space centre in the morning and make a day of it......Regards Chris.
How embarrassing!!! Putting a family railway next to the worlds largest 'Ribbed Dildo'. I thought that was meant to be a family ride? Oh, my mistake. That's is someones attempt at modern architecture.
Another great video. This one has been on my list but still not got there yet.
Must get back when they have steam running.
All those internal exhibits and now this Narrow Gauge Railway...what a place Chris.....absolutely wonderful displays all round...Bob

+David Howarth They've got a zoetrope. Should always have a zoetrope in a museum, you should.
Thank you I agree.
That's a very large gauge for a NG railway! And a steam loco' coming soon, v. exciting.
+Mark Synth:RealityIzPainful Hi Mark,the gauge is just 2 foot,it was good fun bouncing along behind the Simplex.....Regards Chris.
Neat :)

I think the railway and pumping station arrived before that ugly thing next door. It really lowers the tone of the area.LOL!!
