- I have kept the best to last! Monday we went to the Launceston Steam Railway, this is the railway we missed on our last holiday to Cornwall,this was two years ago and we really wanted to make another visit. We weren't disappointed what a lovely railway just like stepping back in time, Nigel and Kay Bowman have done a great job,not forgetting all the helpers.So much to see at this railway and you can ride all day for the price of your ticket.
The atmosphere was so laid back,we would love to have another visit,the Hunslet loco's were lovely also.
The museum has so much to see and I would have loved to take some of the motor bikes home with me.
Thank you to Nigel for allowing us both to have a ride in the cab of Lilian,this really made Rosie's and my holiday.
Please,Please visit this railway if you're in Devon or Cornwall.
Great video! I last visited the Launceston Steam Railway back in 1993 and have always wanted to revisit.
I love this railway,it has that old narrow gauge line feel about it..If it hadn't been for the rain shower I think Rosie would have stayed on the cab all day...Brilliant!...We hope to go again in 2022.
This is a very good Railway..Looks like you both had a Ball there ! I notice you are tempted to move to Cornwall......Well you never know.!! Great that you managed two visits in one Day....I must say that this is the first time i have seen Rosie being 'smutty' hee hee..! Just imagine a Day working on there....Little bits of Black everywhere..Just don't wear White...lol.....Great stuff...Best wishes....Steve.-:)
We did look Steve but the prices are a little high.I could have stayed the whole day but Rosie wanted some shopping so we had to go,but a great second trip.Lovely traveling along watching the Green Woodpeckers and Buzzards.......Regards Chris
An excellent video, a railway that I've also enjoyed in the past, built on the old Southern Railway trackbed to Wadebridge and Padstow. It's a lovely ride and the museum is great. Lillian is a nice locomotive. Friends of the Ffestiniog Railway here, strong connections.
Many thanks! We loved our visit to this railway,as you can see Rosie had her steam fix again.Things are slowly getting back to normal in the UK,roll on when the miniature railways open again,we can then get out and film some fresh stuff for everybody.
lol ..... I think you both enjoyed this particular railway very much indeed! :-)
This is how all railways should be like,you must visit this one Kay to understand what I mean.Such a lovely couple Nigel & Kay they just couldn't do enough to make everybody welcome.We liked it that much we wanted to work on it.......Best wishes Chris.
Very nice indeed. Very good.
My pleasure Kay. :-)
What a day for you both ...a very enjoyable run on this little railway , Lillian looks superb engine and to ride up front must have been a delight ..Dave
We loved it that much we started looking at the property market in the area.....My type of railway and loco's....Cheers Chris
Brings back happy memories of previous visits we've made to this line when we've been on Holidays in Cornwall Chris...a lovely friendly line, with these old veteran locos still going strong...Regards...Bob
Well worth the 600 miles trip on it's own,just loved it.Has it changed much Bob? Thanks for commenting on my videos Bob........Best wishes Chris.
Apart from some foliage growth Chris, it's pretty much the same as it was back in the 70's when I first visited.....Regards....Bob
That's good news,leave it just as it is,just PERFECT! .....Best wishes Chris.
They're one of my/ favourite types of engine, the small Quarry Hunslet. Some interesting stuff in the shed; that vertical boiler thing looks most interesting.
That makes three of us Andrei,the red one is just like my 7 1/4" gauge loco a 3" scale model but without the tender they made them to carry more coal and water on this railway.We would love another visit as there was just so much to see.The bikes were nice to!!.....Many thanks for your comments.....Best wishes Chris.
A very interesting place for anyone to visit.Great little train and loads ofreally old forms of transport in the museum.Geoff
It is a proper narrow gauge railway Geoff hope they never change a thing......Regards Chris
you should go to south devon railway
Hi Rob.We have been to the South Devon Railway a few years ago now,we have rode the miniature and standard gauge lines,which one did you mean?......Many thanks for commenting ....Regards Chris
