34 odd years after last visiting this railway as a 9 year old, I return with Evie to see 257 Squadron and take a look at how things have changed at the Kent and East Sussex Railway
Thank you Richard. Really pleased you enjoyed it, we had such a fantastic day and were very lucky to experience such an amazing piece of railway history.
@shedmouthjunction7249 Yes indeed, the last British locomotive near me returned to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in 1989. SR 926 Class V, "Repton" She was in Vermont, USA, when I was a kid. I live in Massachusetts. The collection she was part of moved to Pennsylvania after the owner died. Repton was running in Canada by that time.
Thank you so much for watching. It was a brilliant moment seeing a Bulleid for the first time. A truly awesome sight. Funny enough It was Evie's first time seeing a steam loco of that physical size and she did say she felt quite intimidated by its size and sound. A moment she will probably never forget.
fantastic video and very enjoyable , the austerity is in the longmoor military railway livery ,, a long gone British army establishment , part of the royal corps of transport now the logistics corps ,, it is well worth reading up on as it was a fascinating place used to train the army to run the railway incase of war ,, quite a large area that had everything the railway had like signal boxes , stations etc etc ,, there will be videos of it on you tube
My parents and I have been on the West Somerset Railway. The Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway. The North Norfolk Railway. The Mid - Norfolk Railway.
brilliant... memories made right there awesome... great double act... Wasn't the LMR tank engine heaps better than the Bullied (i'll get me coat)... beautiful coach. 🍺John Smiths 👍🏻ATB Neil
😂😂😂 Honestly, we absolutely love those little Austerity locos mate, they make such a nice little sound and look amazing. Definitely my favourite 0-6-0 tank engines for sure. Thanks for watching my good man! 👍

Beautiful! Train... scenery... trip... all just amazing. Brilliantly presented, too! What an experience!
Thank you so much for watching. It was an absolutely fantastic day.

Loved the video. looks like you both had a good day. I too have never seen one of these engines in steam and they are my favourites.

What a great video. You were blessed with great weather too.
Thank you so much. We had a cracking day out and managed to get the better end end to the great British weather double bonus! 😂
Great video, I was lucky enough to see 257 at Swanage railways a few year back. Looking forward to your live stream.
Thank you so much. Ah brilliant! I've never been to Swanage but it's definitely on the 'To do' list.
Cracking video mate. Can't beat a bit of steam loco wheel spin!
Thanks mate. 👍 That loco was absolutely mega. So much power!
