The spring loaded points almost caught me out. Thought I was going to see a run through on the run round. Haven’t been on the line since 1989 but this video has inspired me to visit this year. What a great line. A credit to the staff there.
It always looks a little strange to see a set of points apparently set for the other branch, although it is a reasonably common practice, I did once witness a derailment caused as a result of the whole train having not cleared the points before it began to reverse, resulting in an embarrassing oops moment. I'm sure the people at the railway will be only too pleased to see you again.
Thank you, I'm pleased you liked your virtual visit to the Kent & East Sussex Railway. I've got plenty of videos waiting to be edited and uploaded to UA-cam as time allows, it’s nice to know you enjoy watching them 😊.
I want to tell you how much I have enjoyed your pair of videos. Earlier, I watched the trip from Tenterden to Bodiam. Today I watched the return trip from Bodiam to Tenterden. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. In particular, I got a big thrill watching the sheep running away as the train approached with their babies running and following their mama sheep. Thank you for the two excellent videos.
Gotta love that Colonel Stephens vibe! I wish I lived close, or even adjacent, to this lovely line. The collection of beautifully restored coaching stock on its own makes it worth a visit. Excellent video!
Colonel Stephens kept it simple and low cost with the on train crew doing jobs that might otherwise have been done by crossing keepers. It is a really relaxed and friendly railway, if ever you do get a chance to visit, I think you'll enjoy the experience.
Than you very much for this lovely trip you let us see. A few years ago I made as a tourist from Holland this train trip and now I saw it again. I will keep following you here in the Netherlands.
Hello, it is nice to hear from the Netherlands, I'm pleased this video reminded you of your visit to the railway, I hope it brought back good memories.
Hi Tim! Gorgeous video. The steam locomotive has a very good sound and is well indexed. A pleasure to hear that 👍. It's past midnight for you again today, you can see it in the responses to the comments. I did night duty as a dispatcher for 24 years and I know it. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, the locomotive sounded good, especially working hard on the hill up to the station at Tenterden towards the end of the video. I often edit videos and answer comments well after midnight because it can be difficult to find time during the day, although sometimes I answer comments when I have long running jobs on my machines. I worked nights for 2 years as a toolmaker, I enjoyed it because there were no disturbances and I could get on with the more difficult jobs. Cheers. Tim.
Hi Christopher, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I was visiting the line on a "Behind the scenes" tour including a cab ride, I think you will like the last of the trilogy of videos I made covering this trip, it should available in a week or so.
I love everything you showcase Tim; the variety of interesting rides, the steam locos that wrap me in nostalgia and the verdant English countryside that reminds me of my country from childhood. Many thanks! 🥰
Hello Larissa, it's nice to know you enjoy these videos, as they remind you of those far off childhood days back in your home country when the sound of a steam locomotive at work was still common and the surrounding countryside was lush and green. This is a video a shot a few years ago, I don't know if you've seen it, but I think it might interest you - ua-cam.com/video/UQAmlKiAJFc/v-deo.html
@@Timsvideochannel1 Actually, in the eighties when I was a child, diesel locos were used. This particular line (that my backyard faced) between Subotica and Novi Sad was later electrified but I hear the rail-tracks are in dire need of replacement. It's so bad that repairs are not possible. They (the government) are talking about upgrading it but it's still in the pipeline. I just recently saw on Dulevoz YT channel that they upgraded the Novi Sad - Beograd line and it looks great: ua-cam.com/video/z5st8T-bPJo/v-deo.html But Tim, I didn't know we still have steam locos in Serbia. What a surprise and it shows how little I know about my country of origin. Thanks for providing a link to this gem of a video. The views are scenic and the steam loco looks ancient but still very useful, from the looks of it. I've noticed that you have another shorter video of Mokra Gora (Wet Mountains) and I'll watch it later. Today is my rostered day off from work. 🤗 Thanks again Tim. Much appreciated! 😘
@@OmniaInNumerisSitaSunt Hi, the line shown in this video is a tourist line today, although it was once part of an extensive narrow gauge network that ran throughout much of the former Yugoslavia. This playlist of videos taken on my last trip to the former Yugoslavia shows some of the steam trains that can still be found running today - ua-cam.com/play/PLPdTWbkwx85qSOgH-kJGJ88jCpcX2aNAy.html I often watch videos post by Dulevoz, he covers some of the most picturesque lines in Europe. The track on some of the secondary lines in Serbia is in very poor condition, although the trunk routes are OK. I travelled in Yugoslavia before the war, the railways back then were in good condition and there were plenty of trains, now the passenger service is very sparse. I hope you enjoyed your day off. Cheers. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Yes, I figured it's a tourist line in a wonderful setting. Thank you for the list Tim, I'll be watching the videos on the weekend. I have my brother-in-law, his wife and children with us at the moment (from Sydney) and my free time is mostly spent with them. They are leaving tomorrow so I am back to normal. 🤗 The railways before the war were indeed in much better condition. I believe the war set Serbia back a lot. Thanks again for the fine list that you compiled. Will be an interesting watch I am sure. 🥰👍😘
@@OmniaInNumerisSitaSunt It's nice to have relatives to stay, it's also a relief to wave goodbye and slip back into a regular routine. Apart from Croatia and Slovenia, the countries of the former Yugoslavia have not fully recovered from the war either emotionally or physically, although the people are friendly and keen to welcome tourists. Sadly tourist numbers are still low, such a shame as the countryside throughout the former Yugoslavia is some of the most beautiful to be found anywhere in the world. I hope you enjoy some of the videos in the playlist I sent. Take care and enjoy the tranquility as your life returns to normal.
Tim, this is the other half of the walnut. Not an exact replica of the earlier viewed edition, but with some symmetry; tending to completeness. My only regret is that the fixed camera did not afford a surreptitious view of Bodiam castle. Such a wonderful area to visit. It is sadly, many years, since I visited & enjoyed this delightful line. I wish the volunteers & organisers well in their endeavours.
Hello Peter, I'm pleased you enjoyed the return trip, there will be a third video in this series which is likely to include some photos showing the castle from an earlier visit to the line. I'm sure the railway staff and volunteers will appreciate your kind regards, they deserve a well earned pat on the back for all they have achieved.
Cheers Anthony, I'm pleased you liked it. I enjoyed your Mid Hants video, nice to see so many heavy freight engines, I visited on the Saturday, but as yet I haven't found time to edit the video, work keeps getting in the way of having fun. Take care. Tim.

We speak to technology more and more these days, it can be very frustrating. It's nice to hear from Ireland, I must visit soon, it looks beautiful on TV. This video was filmed a couple of weeks ago
Hi, Tim! Interesting this line with old-school semaphore signals and manually operated gates at the level crossings, you could reduce the image to sepiatone, add some "old film effect", fold the audio down to mono and people would think you've rescued an old reel of film and converted it to video, but alas the illusion would be spoiled by the modern cars turning up at the crossings, and parked along the side road coming into Tenterden,. plus the visibility vests worn by station staff.
Hello Neil, it is nice see history captured by these railways, especially when they hold special events, with traction engines, old busses and cars along with visitors wearing period clothing, the scene can be very convincing. I think people enjoy being part of the re-enactment. These days Hi-Vis clothing has been reduced, non of the train staff were wearing Hi-Vis vests, only the group of which I was a part visiting the railway on a behind the scenes tour were wearing vests. "Yes" adding the old film effects would create a very authentic scene from the 1930's.
@@travelingman2664 I was just describing to Tim how this video could've been made to look historic, but the modern cars in the shot, and the "clobber" worn by station staff would spoil the illusion.
hi Wow Superb Start Countryside Gorgeous Too do ugetto Canterbury? as iv see part on utube lately i may not hv tome to watch all this but hv saved its nr midnight Brian Ireland also just watched , antman, mike videos This is Freedom man!! yeehah
Hello, I'm pleased you enjoyed the start of this ride through the beautiful Kent countryside. I also watch Antman and Mikes Videos, UA-cam has so much to offer. Happy viewing. Tim.
Interesting signalling with no distants yet very outer homes. Is this because the K&ES is a light railway, as opposed to say the Bluebell as a heavy railway?
The signalling is set up for a relatively simple train service, with the sections being from station to station with no intermediate sections. The outer home signals indicate whether or not it is safe to proceed into the station/passing loop. I think there are more signals on the line today than there were back in the days when it was part of the national network. The signaling is typical of a lightly used branch line, whereas the Bluebell Railway can run a far more intensive service with shunting movements as can be witnessed on special event days when there are trains running within station limits as well as service trains and shunting demonstrations.
Hi Tim - That was brilliant mate, I am sure I could smell the smoke. Camera location and clarity really made this a fantastic ride, more please. You can a lot from watching this video, I did. Was this always a single track, hard to make out, my guess is single? At 30;00 into the video are they Southern Railway Walrus Ballast Hoppers? Regards Chris
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, I love to see the line from diferent view pionts, I'll be posting another video showing the tour I was participating in later today. I beleive the bigger of the ballast waggons was a dogfish, the walrus is mounted on bogies.
@@Chris-BognorRegis Dogfish - www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/pics/993217.html Walrus - paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brwalrusygv Hi Chris, both waggons served a similar purpose, resulting in a similar appearance, thinking back they came in various sizes, their size being denoted by sea creatures, the bigger the sea creature the bigger the waggon. All variations were common around the region, many going on to serve on the nations preserved railways.
I now see what you mean Tim. The Walrus was a 20T wagon and I got confused because I looked at some photos and they show the Walrus having the same bogie as a Dogfish. I now know what to look for, ta.
They are great waggons to run on a model railway as they could be seen in all sorts of situations ranging from a single waggon left to rust in a siding upto a substantial train often made up of several variations of ballast waggons.

The return journey is just as delightful as the journey out. I'm wondering how large a memory card you need for long journeys? Is the video compressed a lot to reduce memory usage?
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I use 64, 128 and 256gb memory cards, most of the time the smaller cards are fine, it's the batteries that limit the recording time, although if the camera is inside a locomotive cab then an external power pack can be used along with a big memory card offering up to 8 hrs continuous filming at 4K 30fps, I find that if I exceed these settings the camera overheats and turns itself off. I record at 4K 30fps in an MP4 format, other options are available but tend to be too memory hungry. I was using a GoPro 8 camera as it seems not to overheat like the 9 and 10, maybe by the 11 the issue will be solved. The picture quality is much the same with the 8,9 and 10, the main difference with the two later cameras is that they also have a front viewing screen.
I know it looks all wrong, I was quite alarmed the first time I saw a situation like the one shown. In practice the locomotive is heavy enough to push the switch blades over, that is why it doesn't derail.
@@Timsvideochannel1 okay thanks for your reply. Yeah it mightbe true. On a diff note, I Saw your driver cabin view of KalkaShimla railway video. Thinking of making a new version of it. The train station is just 30 mins drive from my home
@@travelwithrickyjassal7255 I had intended to Join a Railway Touring Company trip to India this year that included the Kalka to Shimla railway, Sadly Covid caused the trip to be postponed. I would like to film it again because modern cameras have overcome the problems I experienced with the first film due to the vibration from the diesel locomotive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the tour will go ahead next year.

Hi tim, Another great day out but looked a bit windy the countryside looks great so green take care cheers bob.🚂🚃🚃🚃😇😁ps why did they close this line down?
Hello Robert, it's a pretty part of the world and you are right about the wind, it was really blowing on the return trip. The railway closed due to a lack of freight or passenger traffic, as with so many similar lines it couldn't compete with road transport.
we have tea and scones on board the oter week thanks for a great day out
Tea, scones, a steam locomotive and a wonderful view out of the window, sounds like a nice day out to me 😊.

@@travelwithrickyjassal7255 I had intended to Join a Railway Touring Company trip to India this year that included the Kalka to Shimla railway, Sadly Covid caused the trip to be postponed. I would like to film it again because modern cameras have overcome the problems I experienced with the first film due to the vibration from the diesel locomotive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the tour will go ahead next year.
Is this train currently running?

Video wonderful - audio awful.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, sorry about the audio.
Hi tim, Another great day out but looked a bit windy the countryside looks great so green take care cheers bob.🚂🚃🚃🚃😇😁ps why did they close this line down?
Hello Robert, it's a pretty part of the world and you are right about the wind, it was really blowing on the return trip. The railway closed due to a lack of freight or passenger traffic, as with so many similar lines it couldn't compete with road transport.
