I swear. Once (or If) all three Ruston's are in service, there HAS TO BE a Lawrie's Goes Loco...Loco Gala. We'll call it the LGLG, Lawrie Goes Loco Gala. Starring all three Rustons in service. Have 303 Shunting in the yard and as a station pilot. McAlpine on small trains. And 165 on bigger trains.
I had to cheer when it went into gear and started moving. And of course, the excitement when you went through the gears was definitely contagious. Great job, Lawrie!
Absolutely superb to hear that this Ruston's been saved! Scrapping it in today's era of heritage railways would've been absolutely tragic, especially with how it works.
Your joy was infectious, the pure excitment at seeing and hearing the engine grumble to life before taking off put a smile on my face. Can't wait to see where things go from here, a lot of TLC is clearly required but I think given how many people donated to the cause it's safe to say we all agree it's in the right hands with you Lawrie.

Hi Lawrie,great to see this loco running, there's another one on the Strathspey Railway, but it hasn't run for nearly thirty years, after it was damaged in an arson attack which destroyed a GNSR six wheel brake van, it's claim to fame is that, prior to the railway re-opening, it was driven up the Highland Main Line,(try getting away with that these days),by the then head of engineering at the railway, hopefully, one day, it'll be restored, but, like every other heritage line, there's a long queue of locos ahead of it, anyway,as I write this, I've just come off night-shift, and I'm like a zombie, sorry for filling up your comments section, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
Two of the wheeled conveyances procured by Lawrie in un-broken condition have been Rustons. There’s an indication of how hard they are to break in there somewhere.
It was fantastic to see it start up and run down the track. Also wonderful to know it has been saved from the gas axe. It would be amazing to see this Euston returned to its British Sugar livery, as she wore in her Kings Lynn days. Well done everyone!
It's alive!!!! This is absolutely brilliant! Call me crazy, but I think this engine would look great in red. Maybe it could match Jupes, and you could have TWO big red things!
As an American I really enjoy seeing these little direct-drive locomotives. Here in the USA, once steam and the narrow-gauges lost favor, pretty much all of the locomotives were the GIANT diesel-electrics. Even the "little" yard-engines are massive compared to these cool little guys.❤
AHHHH THE SIDERODS!!! So happy another one of these great "little" machines gets to continue doing the thing! Congratulations to all involved! I wish the folks at Ruston who built it could see the love people have for their (at the time) unassuming little shunters!
That's something I never concidered. I wonder what they'd have thought that 70 years on people would keep them not because they were a piece of plant that earned money, but cause they quite liked the machine.
It's alive! Glad the lovely little Ruston is doing pretty well considering. The Ruston museum is starting and will never be stopped! You'll be able to get the three perfect paint jobs with the extra money!
Man, between Sir William and now this one, Lawrie has caused me to really fall in love with these little Ruston shunters. Can't wait to see how she looks once she's cleaned up and pretty again. Though, if i may make a suggestion, the blue wheels and red rods are a great look on her
Lawrie, you and everyone else who save this (functional) piece of equipment are legends. Your enthusiasm for little Rustons is akin to the enthusiasm for little H.K. Porters-small but mighty.
Great to see that it turned out to be a runner and not just a large and expensive paperweight. Pleased that my very little tiny contribution has been well invested. Well done Lawrie!
Nice locos ,and we saved the 2 0-4-0 Ruston deisel locos at Beeding cement works back in 1986 with the Brighton railway museum, sadly now long closed and both sadly were cut up ,but there nice locos to have.well done and I wish you and the loco all the best ,and another peice of history is saved 😊
reckon its time to buy an aqua blaster like the one they use on mr hewes tank channel... mixes sand with water, and makes light work of rust stuff to prep for paint!
@lmm it would save a ridiculous number of hours scraping and sanding... it would also do the chassis, wheels etc etc... I would also consider a scaffolding tent over it too, and spraying the paint back on, be miles quicker than a brush!
maybe the loco working was its own way to thank Lawrie from a sudden death fate at the scrap yard ! nice to see it saved even if i couldnt afford to contribute stuff due to being tight with stuff
It was watching you telling everyone about this, Barrington & the rolling stock that made me subscribe, so watching you bring this tired but still great locomotive into life again was just truly wonderful. Can't wait to see what happens next, your enthusiasm and charm absolutely got to me and I was grinning the whole time too. Great video, thank you!
That's a good all-round locomotive there Lawrie, a wee bit careworn, but a runner with what looks like a sound engine and gearbox. All the very best with this one.........👍👍
Well done. To be honest when you got down the yard I thought there was going to be a top gear esque "But then........ Its stuck in gear and wont go into reverse"
Well done to everyone that saved this and Lawrie for saving it. Although I feel a little cross at the Colne Valley Railway for not even attempting to fix what seems like a minor problem and then trying to scrap it because they couldn't be bothered with it.
That's not quite the case - it's privately owned, and the owner has a number of other locos that need time and money. This was the one that got overlooked.
@@lmm my pleasure, it was only a tenner but I guess a lot of tenners come together and achieve great things! Looking forward to seeing progress updates 🙂
Now the hard bit going through the air system,Gear box and engine we found lots of grit and rust in the one we got at chasewater.The bodywork will probably be the easy part have fun.
@lmm - as you work on it, please educate us about the air system. Engine+gearbox for a DM is pretty similar to a road vehicle, conceptually at least, but what is the air used for (beside the brakes) and how?
A fantastic sight , yes certainly a new chapter in its life and hats off to you for getting this saved and lets hope this use of You Tube is a turning point in raising funds for more of our heritage to be saved .
If the scrapyard Ruston is a Lazarus, this one is certainly a Ben Gunn, left behind for dead with plenty of vim and vigor left to give. Both likely owing to Sir William for inspiring a bunch of nutters to rescue them.
Lawrie can I make the point here...as if you hadn't noticed....just what a star you've grown into. You have a huge and very friendly following. You have such warmth and charisma and enthusiasm. And it's also heart warming to see just how many of these comments you have taken the trouble to reply to. If you ever want free lodgings to film the swanage railway just ask.
That's kind of you to say so, but I don't think so. I'm just a muppet who likes old vehicles 😂 and I'm very lucky to be able to share all these amazing things with guys. Thank you, I was tempted by the gala this weekend, but too many other things happening sadly
I never knew that this ruston's engine runs, i mean at first i never thought it will run because of the condition of the thing but i was actually suprised that it actually works and it drives the ruston pretty well! Amazing work lawrie! And your team!
Seeing it jump to live so easily was something to behold. Scrapping that engine would have been a travesty. Now we get excellent content of seeing Lawrie fix it up.
This is incredible! It’s so emotional to see a locomotive out and about and to think that I and the rest of this amazing community and of course Lawrie himself were who pulled together to save it. I hope someday I’ll be able to see it in person.
5:18 the moment Dr Lawriestein realised his creation has come alive! also if your on a train and you hear that laugh GET OFF FAST! that is not the laugh of a sane person lol this loco's machine spirit knew what kind of person you was and wanted to work for you clearly happy to have an owner that will care for it.
God I got really emotional at the end. It's wonderful to see people saving these engines from scrap, no matter if it's diesel or steam, they are beautiful machines. 😢
Everyone should be proud to have helped save the Rustons it's amazing to see this one saved and full functional and the little Ruston being overhauled can't wait to see all 3 running together let's keep helping lawrie keep these locomotives running he needs a steam locomotive next let's help him get on
Plenty of railways out there that deserve and need more support. Just remember that there is no point owning a running loco without somewhere for it to run. So support the Pway departments.
Great to see the latest addition to " Lawries Rustons Club" move under it's own power. Look forward to seeing it treated to some TLC, (rust killer and a coat of paint). If I were younger and lived nearer I'd volanteer to come over and give you a hand with that. Keep up the grand work and sod the lambo! 👍👍👍
That's fantastic , it's all ok , I agree , lawrie your a star, well done to all the people that saved this , keep us posted on the move , thanks for sharing,
Amazing job Lawrie. Look forward to inviting you over to Leeds Industrial Museum when the locomotive shed is finished being re-built. Our narrow gauge is all re-laid and beautifully ballasted. Things looking up. Many thanks again.
Bloody fantastic. Congratulations mate. That must've been an incredible feeling. :)

What a shame that people do terrible things like that...

stop giving him ideas
Maybe one day!
Two of the wheeled conveyances procured by Lawrie in un-broken condition have been Rustons. There’s an indication of how hard they are to break in there somewhere.

mans is out here, not just documenting history, but actively saving it. Lawrie, you and your community are absolute madlads. keep up the amazing work.

I sure hope so
It was fantastic to see it start up and run down the track. Also wonderful to know it has been saved from the gas axe. It would be amazing to see this Euston returned to its British Sugar livery, as she wore in her Kings Lynn days. Well done everyone!
Do you know if it was blue or green when it was there?
I've seen photos of the one at Ely in blue, but looks like there's green on the bonnet.
It's alive!!!! This is absolutely brilliant!
Call me crazy, but I think this engine would look great in red. Maybe it could match Jupes, and you could have TWO big red things!
Certainly would be different
2:56 remember Lawrie, we put a little bit extra oil to protect everything as you said so it wasn’t spilling anything! 😉
Protecting it for the future!
