Narrow Guage Paradise! New Year Steam Up At Bredgar & Wormshill Railway
Today we visit the Bredgar & Wormshill Railway for their first steam up of 2025! This little narrow gauge railway is situated in the stunning north downs in Sittingbourne, Kent.
The railway was opened in 1975 by a group of friends and has gone on to become a vast collection of narrow gauge locomotives from around the world. Also on site there is a collection of classic cars, steam engines and a 1901 beam engine which was fired up on the day.
Two Orenstein & Koppell of Berlin 0-4-0 'Helga' & 'Eigiau' were in service as well as the little Ruston shunter 'Bredgar'.
The railway is open every Wednesday for their diesel services and do host a number of steam events throughout the year so please check the link below for more information!

Saw you there yesterday on one of the passing trains and was gonna say hello but couldn't find you. Really enjoy the heritage news series you do and hope you keep at it. 👍
AHH that's a shame but how you had a good day! And thankyou that means a lot! 😊
Hi lovely video I’ve been there a few years ago now still a lovely day out 👍🏻👍🏻
Thankyou! And yeah it is a lovely little place! 🙂
I was there
AHH cool, yeah it was a very good event! 🙂
I used to get a rover ticket from Southern Vectis bus company for around £1:05p you could go all around the Isle of Wight on the busses and then catch this train from Ryde pier to Sandown as well included in the price. Nice times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
@@Mark-o7c1j ohh wow all over the island £1.05, how things have changed haha 😅
Great shot! I was at the gala and it was a beautiful day. :D
Yes it certainly was a great day! Fantastic little railway!
@@Thecheekyengine By the way, I was the person trainspotting at Chalkhole Falls with my friend. :)
Brilliant video I love your open & shut posters for the 455s Regards Glen
Thanks glen! I do like accumulating railway paraphernalia here and there 😅
@ 👍🏻👍🏻
Sound wanted
Hey David apologies.. I don't follow? 😅
Apologies about the slight editing slip in this one, bit sloppy so apologies again! 🤦
Nothing untoward noted, interesting and well-presented as always.
Some very high quality layouts and corresponding camera work and editing. Thank you.
@@adamc1272 thanks man appreciate that! Yes some of the layout were fantastic!
Very nicely shot! Some lovely models. Was this Canterbury Kent.? Not the USA. I live in Canterbury Kent and saw nothing about it. Whould have liked to have gone.
Thankyou! And yes It was! AHH that's a shame! I know it was advertised on FB but no signs out out about it that I saw.. needs more publicity!
Great to see K&S in action! My last visit was in 1990 so maybe time for another one when it gets a bit warmer?
Yes they certainly have some traction there now! Definitely would advise going when the sun appears 😅
Nice to know this set is getting a new lease of life. I'm old enough to have travelled in 1938 Stock both in their days on the London Underground and also during their time on the IoW. So pretty nostalgic for me. 🙂
Ohh wow most definitely nostalgic then! 🙂
Great footage 👍
@@NickGeorgiades thankyou! 🙂
Nice to see you are getting more views 👍
@@NickGeorgiades thanks bud appreciate that!
WHAT A LOVELY SIGHT I DID ENJOY DRIVING THEM BUT NOT PUTTING THE HAND BRAKE ON
@@THEFORBIDDENMAN-lk7of can imagine they were fun to drive!
@@Thecheekyengine YOU COULD FEEL THE WIGHT OF THEM, NO SPEEDO SO YOU HAD TO JUDGE THE SPEED YOU WAS DOING THERE WAS TWO TYPES OF BRAKES ELECTRIC WHICH WAS CALLED THE EP BRAKES VERY RESPONSIVE AND EASY TO GET USED TO, AND THE WESTON HOUSE AIR BRAKE, SLOWER TO REACT BUT ONCE YOU MASTERED IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE EP,, OF COURSE I LEARNED TO MASTER THE W/HOUSE TO SUCH A HIGH STANDARD THAT I COULD GLIDE DOWN THE PLATFORM AND FULLY RELEASE THE BRAKE ABOUT A CAR AWAY FROM THE STOPPING MARK TO STOP PERFECTLY WITH THE FEELING THAT THE TRAIN WAS STILL MOVING WITH THE CAR MOVING SLIGHT ROCK BACK MOTION, A REAL PLEASURE ID DRIVE UP AND DOWN THE NORTHERN LINE TO ALL DESTINATIONS JUST USING THE W/HOUSE, MY GUARDS LOVED IT NO ROUGH STOPS, HAPPY DAY BUT THAT HAND BRAKE WAS DANGEROUS TO USE TO SECURE THE TRAIN, HAPPY DAYS, WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE LIGHT BULBS WITH CARE AS THEY WERE SUPPLIED WITH 630V DC, I THINK THEY WERE ADDED TO THE BUSLINE WHEN THEY WERE SENT TO I.O.W, SO THIS DANGER WAS A THING OF THE PAST.
THANK YOU
Thank s for film nice to know.
@@AndrewCooper-eo7oh no worries! thanks for watching 🙂
Enjoyed your video. I found the models and tow footage of the Invicta locomotive very interesting.
AHH thankyou! Yes the Invicta model is really interesting! Great little bit of kit!
Great to see that these iconic units have been rescued and have a bright future . Thanks for posting .
Yes it most certainly is! Thankyou!
Please cit the background music while doing a voice over as music louder than voice
noted! Thanks 👍
Nice model.
Thomas the Tank Engine first aired on 📲 Tuesday 9th October 1984 just five days after I was born. It's my childhood memory I,m autistic and I still like 👍 the show its one of the greatest it doesn't matter how old I am. Thomas is also for autistic people it helps them to keep them relaxed. I been autistic since September 1989 amd I,ow also be a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine as I,m mad about different types of trains
I agree! Doesn't matter how old you are!
@Thecheekyengine thanks
I can see myself at 5:53 😅
"I'm revolutionary"
I missed this sadly but your footage was wonderful! Thank you.
AHH thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Whoever competes with Eurostar, they will need to set up passport controls at a terminal other than St. Pancras, as the passenger facilities there are so crowded. Maybe that company will make Stratford International really international.
@@DavidNewmanDr haha yeah Stratford always makes me laugh 😂 or put ebbsfleet back into service!
Is there gonna be a Cavalcade anywhere though ? Like there was at Rainhill in 1975 ?
Derby works is doing an open day which I think will have some kind of great gathering, not sure if there will be an actual cavalcade but it's essentially in the same vain.
It was actually 1802 the first steam railway Locomotive ever ran !
The problem is that Richard Branson is jumping the gun on this scenario as there are more than Virgin Trains bidding to do this and the restricted train paths through the Channel Tunnel and at London St Pancras International, not only that the limited space at the Channel Tunnel train maintenance depot in the UK and the fact that the manufacturers have not received any firm orders from Richard Branson yet but pure speculation
Yes I agree, completely getting ahead of themselves when other companies have been trying for a while now, could possibly end up with egg on their faces 🤔
I mean the channel tunnel does have plenty of capacity still, the main issues are overcrowding at st pancreas which could be alleviated by either uprades, or better utilisation of Stratford, Ashford, and Ebbsfleet Intl; however all of the bidders claim to have sorted that out. It looks like the main issue is depot access as eurostar don't want to share their depots and nobody wants to pay to build a new on. Long term, while I doubt this would happen, there was a proposal for a connecting tunnel between HS2 and HS1, which could also allow old oak common to be used for international services and potential through running
Awesome footage! It was really nice to see you there! 😃
Thanks bud yeah nice meeting you too
Lovely ex br standard 3mt
Brilliant footage thank you
Thankyou! 🙂
Personally if I had to put any money on Virgin selecting a manufacturer for cross-channel services, I would think they'd choose Alstom due to having a history of already working together in the past and because it could be a potential follow-up order to the TGV M stock or maybe even a non-tilting New Pendolino design like Italo's ETR 675. If they were to go with Hitachi I would say it'd be derived from an ETR 1000 (Recciarossa) design.
AHH yes of course I was just thinking of convenience because Hitachi is in Ashford but completely forgot the previous alstom connection.. good shout! 👍
This seems like a perfect opportunity to pay Alstom lots of money to build some new 373s in original livery 😆
I am really looking forward the railway 200 railtour on the 27th of september
Yes there's so many great events happening this year!
This whole area is classed as a desert. Fascinating place!
Hello TheCheekyEngine I was wondering if I could use a clip out of this video for the Elham Valley Line Trust TikTok? Thanks EVLT
@ElhamValleyLineTrust Hey there, yeah of course you can! No problem at all! 👌
@ thanks you very much I’m just awaiting permission from someone else, but your more than welcome t have your username displayed if you would like - thanks again
@ElhamValleyLineTrust AHH I don't mind! 🙂 But yeah no worries! 👍
Nice
It's pronunciation is Gresley not greasly😂
Shhhhh 😏
The N2 is definitely the most exciting piece of news. It’s a very iconic loco at the end of the day, and it’ll be great to see it running. Hopefully the plan is for it to still operate in GNR green.
Yes it certainly is! Be nice to see it operational again, and as far as I am aware there have been no plans about it being repainted so hopefully not!
Ohh this is just what I need leading up to coming to the UK in June!
Well hopefully you get to see it! 👌
Nice update, thanks for keeping doing these - invaluable info
@@Locomotion_Motion AHH thankyou! Appreciate that! 🙂
Even tho this toy made in china tbh .
Gordon's theme... God is beautiful
Lovely loco
EXPRESS COMING THROUGH!
Looking forward to the re-opening of the station hall, and whatever they do at Locomotion. Having the NRM filled with locos isn’t something you see much nowadays. Hopefully we’ll also get something resembling a cavalcade.
@@joshslater2426 yes station hall reopening will definitely be a highlight! And no I agree, the NRM isn't filled like it used to be!
😢😢😢😢
R.I.P. Britt Allcroft. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Thank you, Britt Allcroft. Thank you for everything.
