This is amazing!

[@WhitehouseFilms]

@BillingtonE2 It's an old Stewart Reidpath model. Wilbert bought this one back in the late 40's or the NWR layout and still runs to this day. It had a repaint when it was in preservation and new lining and number 1.

[@supersandman86]

what i like about christopher awdry is he was educated in one of my towns colleges

[@Damocles178]

TTTE has done wonders for the world but is a shame to think that only for it some of those steam engines would've been broken up :/ Don't get me wrong it's nice that it came to the rescue but I'm a bit mixed on relics being lost to time as I've been into railways for a good portion of my life; not just because of thomas :) Anyway cheers for sharing :D

[@DamiensTrainsandTravels]

RIP Reverened Wilbert Awdry, don't get writers as good as him or John Sullivan these days they should be taught to kinds in subject English at School

[@eliotreader8220]

I visited the railway back in 2017 to see where the events of railway adventure took place. we got to ride behind the Old Lady no2

[@MrComedy01]

I wonder why Sir Handel has Duncan's face at 0:14 ? Maybe Peter Sam behind him didn't have his own XD

[@ezrarahman5022]
