- Hello people of the internet,
It may not be Humpty, but it is Humpty's Apedale cousin. It's almost the same as Lawrie's. So what more do you want than to see a little dumper being useful?
Some trackwork? Yes, there's that as well!
If you want more information on the super people at the Apedale Valley Light Railway, avlr.org.uk/
If you'd like to get involved as a volunteer and take part in projects like this shown in the video, the group would love to hear from you, and you can make your first steps into getting involved here: avlr.org.uk/moseley-railway-t...
This video was shot way back in the summer of 2021.
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter - unaware of the amount of work he'd have to do,
Loz - Cameraman - managing to avoid physical work as he 'has to film'.
Charles - Cameraman - given a shovel and told to get on with it.
Edit by Lawrie, Grade by Matt.

I volunteer at a heritage railway and there is always the feeling of a job well done at the end of the day. No matter how much you ache!
Lawrie - Putting the bed in flatbed since 2022.
In the '80s, I lived and worked in South Australia. Gladstone was a meeting place of the three heavy rail gauges, narrow, standard and broad. The level crossings were, um, interesting. Gladstone also had a 3 gauge yard, so that goods could be trans shipped from one gauge to another. Apparently there is now a "Three Gauges Park" which I will have to visit next time I'm over there. It's only 900 or so miles from here...
Jack packed a nap. If you really don't feel good watch out for dehydration/heat stroke. They happen fast and often without warning or physical symptom. You looked red, and you're not typically used to full days of physical work. Doesn't have to be hot either just dry.
Good to see young lads working building up that great place.
Love to see more working examples of humpty!
Dumpty. All same like Humpty. Spins other way, different engine, different exhaust, proper seat, no holes in skip and steering steers. Yes, exactly the same. :D
Put put put put put……. Dumpty sounds sweet!
Thanks Lawrie, great effort by everyone, hot & dusty work! 🙏🙏
That John was an absolute machine. Was one of his ancestors a navvy by any chance? Brilliant video as always.
nice video there nothing like a good day of hard work to pass the time away since this is for a great cause !
That 3ft gauge Ruston would get so much use if it was over here in the states
I wish I could help, but the commute is too wet. But near me there were a fair number of two ft.gauge railroads. But interestingly, there was a 3 ft Gauge called the "Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad". It was 3 ft Gauge but had standard gauge coaches on three ft. Gauge bogies. I think some of their coaches ended up in Pennsylvania on the East Broadtop. Nit to mention they had almost exclusively Locomotives called "Mason Bogies" but that's another story....
Big respect for the very hard work
Someone should have brought along a good garden rake. Would have made those dumped piles of ballast a lot easier to spread. That's what we use when we get a new load of gravel for our driveway.
Would be awesome to get humpty and the apedale roughrider together some day 😁
Looks like you had some fun. Seems like a nice railway there.
G'night Lawrie! Sweet dreams mate! 🤣
Working with people you get on with and can have a laugh with makes even the hardest most annoying job not half so bad. Dumpty may well be in better condition but I bet it didn't cost £25!!
👌👍. Words are not enough.
