    Great follow up video of the Rhyl Miniature Railway Bob! It seems a well run railway with no shortage of locos and stock. You had a lively run out to the pond and back behind "Joan" including driver Trevor, including the exchange of whistles with "Leander" - a nice touch that! Thanks Bob, and best wishes for your holiday with Mrs M! Ken

      Thanks Ken, it's quite rare to have an operational steam loco on this type of Railway, so that was an added bonus, Trevor was very kind in allowing me on the footplate, with the Jubilee passing, being the icing on the cake...Best wishes...Bob

    Fond memories, used to be part of the Marineland Amusement park, you walked across the lines entering the park. Rode the train many times as a kid. First time I ever saw doughnuts automatically frying near the station entrance. Happy days.

    Really cracking video our Bob...I would loved to have been there to ride on that Railway too...'Joan' looks a fine Loco as so do some of the others You showed...That clip of 'Joan' and 'Leander' whistling at each other gave me the Goosebumps again..awesome !
    The Screen on the leading Carriage behind the Tender seemed to be a loss of having some nice Clag blown Your way...did look a bit odd...Bet You enjoyed the Cab ride !! ..Best wishes....Steve.

    Great video, however, as a guard on a heritage line, at 7.00 , that is a very unsafe method of dispatch. The driver didn't check for a green flag/aspect whatsoever! Surely just hearing a whistle and assuming that is the right away is quite dangerous? Anyway yes, top video!

    • @robmasterman

      An interesting point Jack, unfortunately the Driver, who by the way was a BR Driver all his working life, can't see the train from where he is, as he's on a curve and there's a large screen blocking his view....No doubt H&S have cleared this for the safe conveyance of passengers....Thanks very much for your comments.
