- Part two of my Gone but not Forgotten Miniature railway series features the
railways of;
The Fenn Bell M.R.
The Evergreens M.R old site at Stickney.....(The railway has relocated to a location about half a mile away.)
Hatfield house M.R
Markeaton Park M.R Derby.
SORRY for the small mistake on the overlay titles.
I'm glad you have some film of Evergreens, my first club, lots of familiar faces.
We must have met a few times Steven! We came over with our loco's a lot...Shame it closed,but the new site should be just as good when it's completed,they have a running line in operation which we have drove on...You must visit when they open up after this Covid.....Regards Chris.
Shame those Railways have gone they looked very nice but at least you have saved another important part of our history well done Chris !
Many thanks Graham! Evergreens have part of the new track down (this can be used) but a long way to completion.Plus lot's of money, so this Covid came at a very bad time for everybody....Things are looking better with some track opening from this weekend,so keep your fingers crossed.We don't want to add even more railways to this compilation....Best wishes Chris
Another amazing video . Loved the looks of these railways shame they have gone. Hope your both doing well. I am slowly getting there from grieving but am ok stay safe and keep the great videos cominh
Many thanks Adam...Yes we are both fine.You look after yourself and keep safe.....Regards Chris
That was a good enjoyable day, hopeful of many more at the new home for Evergreens :-) Good to see Rudi too, nice memory :-) ... oh and "thank you Tony"!!!
Another staring role Kay,I think that was your first drive of a steam loco? If so, that loco of Tony's was also Rosie's first drive as well...Yes brilliant day for us all,the guys still talk about it...Tracks are opening now, so keep your fingers crossed for a steam up very soon.
Not sure if Alan or Keith (with Tug shown on film) had let me drive theirs previous to this. Big thanks to them :-)
oooh to tracks opening!!! All 'railway' people, of all gauges, are just 'itching' to be out on the tracks!!!
Take care both and l hope it's not too long before able to see you again.
Thanks, best wishes to you and Rosie, keep on steaming
Thanks, you too!
It's good the Baby Deltic from Markeaton Park Railway is now on Lappa Valley Railway.
Great! I'm glad it has been saved.Not been to the Lappa for a few years now,nice railway.Or a collection of railways.
That was another very enjoyable watch Chris, being able to look back on these old Railways...Best wishes...Bob
Just goes to show how many railways are closing,God knows how many will survive this Covid...Best wishes Chris
Its a shame it shut down, I would of loved to have visited the line, stay safe :)
Hi J94....It is a shame that any of them closed..We enjoyed many trips over to Evergreens with our loco's, but now we can again at the new site when we get rid of this Covid.....Cheers Chris
@@wooltman Yes, It is a shame when any railway shuts down
Well done Chris, shame the railways have gone.But mine still here just about finish the new 5" track. Get a nice 5" royal scott and bring it over.
Thanks Al....I would love too,just need to sort a Scot out not many about,do you know anybody with a good one for sale? ...I would say that is the very first Stafford at Stickney,is that right?....Best wishes Chris
@@wooltman Yes thats right,them were the good days
:O The railway at the Zoo has close!! But it has only been going for a few years!
Not very long at all,sadly it has closed.
Just as I was asking myself where was Wooltman ? Here you are with more intriguing footage!
Hello again Peter we have still been around,you must have missed our other uploads...Mainly looking back compilations,some good old ones as well,plus the lockdown videos....Regards Chris
wooltman Yes Chris, I was not concentrating properly! Back on track now! No pun intended! Good to hear from you.
Very interesting footage. Heard about the Markeaton Park issue, a bit of a shame. The Fenn Bell M.R. was quite an investment in infrastructure, let alone the railway, what happened there?
Fenn Bell was another sad tale,too many good idea's in such a small area,the pub,railway,zoo all attracting big crowds but with very little parking...We enjoyed our stay at this railway,they couldn't do enough for us.
We have met, my last name is my first name, I have a blue sweet pea but I don't think it's catching
Hi Hugh.Got you now..We have always known you as Hugh...Hope your keeping well?.....Best wishes Chris and Rosie
