The narrow gauge version of the class 66 'Shed' 😂
That "shed" looks so sad and depressed.
Looks exactly like my shed
It's certainly a Shed 😂
That's pretty much all the similarities
The class 66 "shed" should not be confused with the class 99 "hut" which is 3/10ths % larger....
@@EC-ms1jr A nice coat of paint would improve it greatly.
Takes a whole new meaning for going down to the shed to start the engine!
😂😂
I think "agricultural" is exactly the right work to describe this little loco. It reminds me very much of the old Fergie 35 I used to drive at Normanby Hall near Scunthorpe. The original body was long gone and had been replaced with a plain piece of steel sheet folded over the top of the engine and a bit of chicken wire as a grill. The whole thing shook and rattled like she was coming apart and the steering would be generously described as vague. In spite of all that, she always started come blazing sunshine, pouring rain or a couple of feet of snow and got on with the job regardless.
Videos like this not only show how important small industrial machines are, but also how interesting. Stuff like this just steadily getting on with its job in the background are so easy to ignore and yet nothing would get done without them. Fantastic to see it in preservation and with no plans to make it look like anything other than the hardworking industrial unit it is.
Love it! To me this loco symbolises everything I like about narrow gauge - a slightly ramshackle, bodged appearance, but everything has a purpose. And I just love seeing it run on tracks barely visible in the undergrowth!
To me thats what NG is meant to be, but then again I came up on North American steam and narrow gauge so that's almost a given for us.
Brings an entire new meaning to "just going to potter about in the shed"!
That little engine has so much character it's unreal.
I absolutely adore engines like this. I was super into NA logging engines as a kid, so the fact that this little thing is preserved is, frankly, awesome.
There are some REALLY cool logging locos built over here. steam and diesel both (including diesels built on the frames of geared steam engines...yeah, let that one rattle around in your head).
There's a loco I could happily work 50+ hours a week on and never get bored.
I wondered when this video would come out as I was actually watching you recording this episode on the Sunday morning of the Apedale Railway gala. I had a good look at this loco and it did make me laugh how well constructed the shed....I mean cab was.
I've seen a shed that can go on the road now a shed that can go on rails
Now we just need an aircraft hander that can fly and a dry dock that can float :)
@@markwright3161 HI STOP PRESS there are now sheds on Boats on the river Thames.
@@markwright3161 Plenty of dry docks already float, google "floating drydock".
@@marvindebot3264 Just did there now. Quite incredible.
What I had in mind for a dry dock was specifically the one where the Titanic was built in Belfast. Having been there on a school trip at one point I thought there's no way something that scale could possibly be built to float. Having said that, I have also watched a documentary on the super-yacht transport ship that submerges its deck to load the yachts, so had I thought about it it's not unreasonable to imagine dry docks can float too. :)
Still no flying hangers though (I checked just to be sure) :)
@@markwright3161 There will never be another Harland and Wolff, those day days are gone. Foundered 1861 and still going but a near shadow of their former selves. The day Samson and Goliath went out of service was the day shipbuilding in the UK died for good. They out lasted the Clyde but not by much.
Having said that, take a look at the size of some of those floating docks, they could hold the Titanic easily. #4 Royal Dock is 438 meters long and 86 wide, the Titanic was 269m and the largest H&W drydock is 335m completed in 1968.
The dock in which the Titanic was built was the Hamilton Dock completed to her current size in 1904 which is 259 meters long and 40 wide.
Excellent! I'm sure I've seen this loco on video before... There's an industrial NG website with dozens of home-produced DVDs of peat railways, quarries, clayworks, waterworks, chemical works, feldbahn [forestry trains]... and I distinctly remember this loco-shed thumping around a tight curve, through nettles almost as high as the roof, and into a receiving / conveyor shed with a train of side-tipping wagons.
"Captures the LMM spirit" yep lol
I love that thing its perfect Lawrie and nobody can tell me otherwise.
I once almost owned a very similar rail truck a year ago in 27” gauge. Although it started out life as a Ford model A turned bus with a shed on a Maryland Iron Bog railway with a Baltimore horse car wheel set. It was practically this thing but with thick walls filled with asbestos. Id run that little guy if i could but I don’t think I’d fit the door or I might bust a hole in the roof of that.
Your statement about the sound should get an award as understatement of the millennium!
Having been in that thing, it sounds like a bomb going off inside your head. It's amazing that you could hear anything!
This has GOT to be the most bonkers and absolutely my favorite, non-steam locomotive you have ever showcased on this marvelously bonkers channel.
This is simply , a shed on wheels.
That drives, and is rather useful
Now that's a vehicle with character! I had to laugh at the diesel 'dipstick'.
Ha! That little thing is awesome :) I agree that it sounds very much like a tractor. And I really love the rails being hidden in the grass at that particular railway. So cool! :) BTW, if the owner ever needs a name for that locomotive, I think he should call it 'Lawrie.' ;)
I took it for a WWI simplex to be honest!!! It's both astonishing and amusing!!! Tiny little thing moving on the rails...!!!
it has better panel spacing than half of the stuff in the LMM shed I think
I love this kind of 'engineering'. Functional and honest.
Just about functional 😂
Never has the phrase "what a shed!" been more appropriate
Takes the term "Shed driver" to a new level.
This reminds me of the "speeders" that track maintenance crews use here in the US.
And in the UK and just about everywhere but they don't have the tractive effort of these, a speeder being a lot lighter.
Well, that is an original vehicle to say the least
Words can't express how happy I am to see you blowing up the way you are.
Brilliant. I love modelling these type of weird pieces of narrow gauge rolling stock. And they say necessity is the mother of invention
Oh very much so
0:20 lawries very funny confused face. Love the videos keep em coming can't wait to see more of jupes on the coming months
Lawrie is the doug demuro of locomotives.. keep up the good work lawrie❤
This has to be one of my favorite diesels I've seen on your channel I don't know why but I just love it
Apedale Railway seems like a railway where members/volunteers can just go and have a play with a locomotive. Does seem to have that atmosphere. Not that thats a bad thing, but rather than heritage railways where they try to make a business based on passenger numbers, this seems similar to a miniature railway club. its pleasent.
You really should get in contact with the Moors Valley Railway (near Bournemouth), it's small gauge but you'd love driving their engines (having done so myself).
I am in love with this machine. It's incredible.
Isn't it just!
This episode is making me want to build a 009 gauge model peat railway 😃
This looks like a post-apocalyptic tram engine.
toby had survived the zombie apocalypse but at what cost
@@warrior3456_ wtf lol
I love these videos and I accually started binge watching them last week
I barely understood a word of what you said in the cab, but what a glorious bodgeof an engine!
I work on industrial diesel generators. No one builds an engine like Lister. When I get a hold of one I either keep it or one of my friends gets it. The only thing close is the Onan J series. Lister made ome really good engines! Best wishes from the Sunshine State!
It's a good little bestie all round!
I really liked the video, and enjoyed all the comments that you came with while you drove the shed. 🤣 Mainly because you couldn’t bee heard over the motor.
When you expect a Quarry Hunslet and you get a shed
Awesome! 🚂
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
On a rainy cold day I am sure you would love that cab.😂
I think it looks wonderful! No matter how decrepit it looks!
It sounds wonderful :D
To be honest you could fit any engine of similar size to this chassis and it would still work, such a versatile frame to work with, suitable for any light railway
I almost see this as a new resident of the shed.
A thought! You could make a couple of passenger carriages in the same style. Holes in the side for viewing the countryside. You could run Santa specials by having staff running along the side of the train and passing plates for each course through slots cut in the side. When each course is finished the crockery and cutlery can be posted through slots in the other side to fall into sacks nailed on for collection. Wine glass shaped cutouts could be used for serving mulled wine and smaller ones for mince pies. I would buy a ticket for a meal on it.
That would be awesome 😂
Was on my computer when I got the discord notification about this video. Finally
If Lawrie ever runs out of trains to cover: Come to the Netherlands! It's right across the sea, and we have it all: A Biiiig National Railway museum, narrow gauge steam railways, a nice and lovely trammuseum, multiple industrial railway museum and even an international railway powered by steam, it wil take you a bit into Germany and the steam loco is absolutly stunning. It's called "De Miljoenenlijn".
Oh and: Once every 4 years one of our cities litterally turns into a city of steam, trains, ships, motors, everything steam, old and bonkers! "Dordt in Stoom" it's called, in case you want to give it a search.
The Netherlands is my homecountry, and i love trains but even i haven't been able to see it all!
It is on my agenda to come visit!
The big festival sounds amazing
LOOKS at this and immediately heads for the Briggs and Stratton web site and plans a 7 and a 1/4 inch version,
Yes they do them in this size and they are mad sitting sideways of course.
Just trying to weather some ply to match the superior carpentry,
That window is superb. Same age as ME!! David and Lily.
Love it !!
Thank you
Wonderful Loco!
Isn't it just
Lawrie if you are not aware of that I want to warn you that LOCO stands for crazy or mad or out of ones mind in spanish... thats a really mad crazy loco locomotive!. Awesome little mechanic marvel.
I love the horn!
cracking video Lawrie really need to catch up on the podcasts though also the little amount of work they did to it is a testament to the quality of lister locomotives
shed of a locomotive - an experimental Lister Railtruck. Lawrie Goes Loco Episode love louis shirley
Wow! What an amazing find. The collection in its in (forgetting the name, someone please tell me) is such a unique one!
yes this outfit has got your number. We just got this crazy bit of industrial kit, who should we call to show it off? Well there is this chap, Lawrie. He is Loco enough to love it properly. Oh make certain it is running. Otherwise he may nip it off to his Shed, never to be seen again. Beside it makes his Loco look like the Flying Scotsman. God bless you Sir!
Yep, they know me!
@@lmm I hope she gets a kittle extra care. Perhaps a better Grade of Plywood? God bless her!!!
love it m8 great vid
It's a little scruffy looking but all it needs is a few tweaks a bit of welding and a lick of paint and it's good as new apart from that I love it
It looks like the kennel I built out of an ancient kitchen table and some recycled marine plywood for my long lost lovely labrador Anna.
And yes it is TOTALLY appropriate for LMM.
Makes me think (again) that Dumpty would be great with a set of flanged wheels...
Ok so im following this channel a lot like on ''Lawrie goes loco'' I watch almost everyday. And this narrow guage shed engine is on another level xD
This is my kind of engine.
Here in the US I’d like to do a build, but would like to get an old engine chassis that’s 7.5” gauge to put my own engine, & cab on because I don’t have the tools to make an entire engine.
It's a lovely little thing and an excellent find...Now Lawrie stop thinking about trying to buy it for your collection, you won't have anywhere to put it...
Its not ugly, its experimental
At least you don't have to worry about rust in the body panels.
Nice job on all the varied camera angles, so we can pick up the less obvious details like that bent bolt below a wheel bearing, and the end of the exhaust tip being rusted out.
because of the noise, and how hard it was to hear what you were saying at times, I put subtitles on... oh my word the auto subtitles had NO IDEA what you were saying some of the time. XD.
That face XD someone must have really liked Toby from The Railway series XD
In Australia we had little sugar cane trains and in some places they are still used to move sugar cane from fields to the mill
Huh, looks like a lot of the track survived at its old home!
33:50 ahhh...look at the majestic steam loco, wait...is that a garden shed passing by?
It’s a custom job! Definitely a Shed 5000 😆
I love lister
They made good stuff
I swear, someday Im going to scratch build this thing.
It's a literal shed with an engine on a railroad
No tie today?! It’s the garden shed for you!
Lawrie , thanks for sharing the video. Lovely bit of kit there . Learned something about " peat railways " that I didn't know . Interesting wagons for hauling peat, peat must not weight very much based on the light construction of the cars. Definitely need to use the subtitles function on this video. Ha Ha. I want to see you run a Quarry Hunslet at some point for a video.
It's very mossy!
I'd love to do a quarry Hunslet!
Looks like a brake van with a Lister engine
It’s Toby lol it reminds me of duke the lost engine
I’ve rattled about on a few of those wee listers on the peat railways of Thorne moors.
Its a close call, but I'd rather have a Lister Storm.
Jerry! I'm going to call it Jerry! To my understanding it's short for Jerry built!
Oh I like that, it made me chuckle.
I'd say 'Jerry Rigged'
It has character.
Doesn't it just
@lmm look up Toby from Thomas and friends. It look like one of the characters, that's probably why there was a face on it.
Also a thwaites dumper engine 🙂👍
it looks like something you'd see on
George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.
Big Like for this despite i don't have an idea what is that thing and why anybody would use it, i feel like i'm drunk after this video :-) by the way, i don't know what should i say about that horn.
British engineering at it's best :-)
Lawrie goes for a potter in the potting shed
I'd like to have seen you hand start it! Shame we couldn't really hear what you were saying in the cab. Nice sound to it.
Imagine being a crossing guard on a late shift round 4-6 in the afternoon your making sure the crossing is clear when you hear the rumble of a little Diesel engine so you go to close the crossing so the engine may cross when up line comes a shed on wheels trundaling along with a small train behind it
Certainly seeing it go past for the first time you'd be quite confused.
Shed on wheels? I've owned a few! :-O
It would be nice if lawrie did a lawrie goes lock on a British rail class 483 on the Epping and ongar railway or the Isle of Wight steam railway.
It’s like a triang loco from Facebook marketplace. Strange, mysterious and insane.
Yes, yes it is!
Form follows function to the extreme. You almost need a sign that says you must be smaller than this height and width to drive this engine. Bonkers, yes. Fun, for the first several hours at least. They used what they had and made it work which is a testament to the crew that put it together. They probably had a week of down time for.design and build I wonder what the prior "sheds" looked like on this engine and when the first was added? I don't think that ply is not from 1959. I could see the springs working but wonder how much set they have taken over the 62 or so years maybe that has something to do with the ride quality? Does not matter as the short wheel base guarantees it will pitch up and down. Love all the expedients like the sanding hole and the cute horn which reminds me of the horn I added to my '48 school bus. I can see why you like it as it does seem to epitomize your mechanical marvels.
It's pretty terrible, but really good example of how things in industry were treated!
@@lmm And how people were treated!
I have to say, I want one! 😂
So do I!
Are you ever going to do a collab with Geoff marshal?
Crikey, I hope not. He's a major bell-end.
@@paulosborne6517 Agreed the blokes a tosser.
I like Listers, but that... is odd
i hope they dont restore it, that is awesome history!
Please add subtitles for the parts inside the cab, it's hard to hear the commentary over the engine
