- This months video from Bath Green Park shows a wide selection of freight and passenger movements that would have been seen in the late 50's and 60's up to closure. In particular I've been investigating milk movements north of Bath. We are all familiar with the milk tanker traffic from Bason Bridge, Wincanton and Bailey Gate that was run to Templecombe for rapid movement to London but I've recently been aware of tanker movements from Bailey Gate which I now understand was part of a circular run of milk traffic from Bailey Gate to Carmarthen and return either empty or with 'whey'. This features in this video.
Sit back, turn up the volume and ENJOY
This is by far the best video you have posted. The new camera positions, the on board camera (more please!), and even the resultant lighting all seem to have greatly enhanced the effect. As always, thank you for sharing this video of absolute enjoyment. Cheers, Bob
My pleasure. I look back over old videos to see what angles I have used in the past and might use again. Always interesting to see the changes over say the last 4 years
Thank you, again. Such an atmospheric episode.
Story telling from my childhood and glimpses of scenes from my youth.
Glad you are enjoying the videos
Excellent as usual. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos.
Thanks and my pleasure
Not forgetting the locomotives and rolling stock,, the countryside and sidings are so realistic, you sir are a genius thank you
Kind words indeed. Thanks
Pressed on this one pretty quick! Excellent footage as usual. I tend to watch this twice, one to read the narration then second to watch the train and admire the scenery I missed seeing the first time. Such an awesome layout. All the best, Clint
I know what you mean. I add the videos which I cut and cut and cut until they tell the story but not too long winded. Then I add the commentary and then I re watch it several times over to try and spot all the mistakes. Despite this still the odd mistake goes through. Although I think the January vid is not bad
Excellent as always, thanks for posting.
Please show us more of the onboard camera shots. I'd really like to see the whole route (including fiddle yards) in both directions.
Thanks and I'll see what I can do
Nice grungy 16T minerals, and great "on-board" views. Your stunning layout is really beginning to "shine" now. Thanks for letting us back in to view.
Thanks I enjoy preparing these videos
My first visit to Bath Greenpark. What a very superior layout this is. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome. Glad that you enjoyed the video. Check our the others. A lot there to watch!
Excellent as ever, particularly the cabcam views. Thank you for sharing and for reminding me of a School Railway Society day out from Green Park to Templecombe and back that I was lucky to make just prior to closure of this wonderful line.
Pleasure glad that it reminds you of those times
My goodness, it was like watching an Ivo Peters’ film! Simply fantastic.
That's very kind, Thank you,
Thank you for another stunning super atmospheric video..............Full screen, sit back and enjoy. A couple of questions though. The pines Express left Bournmouth 9.40 ish and arrived at Bath at 11.56, that's pretty fast running I bet. Then just 5 mins turn round before heading off to Manchester, wow the railway was super slick in those days. I bet they couldn't do that today, if it was possible that is. Anyway thanks again, best regards Dave.
Thanks.
Its only 70 miles from Bournemouth to Bath so The Pines running time reflects an average of around 35mph! Climbing the Mendips on the 1 in 50 gradients had the Pines and all expresses down to 15-20mph as they struggled up the hills. Not exactly express speeds but oh what a wonderful experience with 2 large locos at the front roaring for all they were worth to get their 10 and 12 coach trains over the top and then a helter skelter headlong rush down the other side.
Absolutely phenomenal. You should get a knighthood for your dedication. Hats off to you. 🎩 👍
That is most kind of you. Keep a watch out for the March video which I hope to post here later this week
Amazing layout which represents such a great line
Thanks glad that you are enjoying the videos
Great video! The 'onboard' shots are amazing. The attention to detail in both the modelling and running is outstanding. Thanks for sharing this. Best wishes, Bob.
Thanks
Super nice to see camera on the train gives you the scale of your project wonderful Keith
Thanks. The great thing about 7mm scale is the bulk and size which 'feels' more realistic than the smaller scales.
Very nice video of this beautiful layout. Very detailed shots. Thanks a lot!!
Pleasure. I like the low down shots that make you feel like you are really there
Just wow. Amazing
Thanks Glad that you are enjoying the railway
Thank you for another very entertaining video, great atmosphere, great commentary ..so realistic when streamed onto a 44" tv..
Thanks and yes agreed. Once loaded I then watch on a large screen TV. Its then that I often spot something which could be better!
Such a brilliant layout. The trackwork is amazing
Thanks glad you like it. I've been posting videos of the railway for 5 years now. Check out some of the earlier ones to see the changes over the petriod
@@bathgreenpark2485 I have seen previous videos, such a fantastic layout but have never commented before, keep up the good work
@@Gulval03 Thanks and do feel free to share the video with other like minded railway friends
Loved the cab views. Brilliant as always...Thanks!!
Using a GoPro camera means I can get in to all those awkward spots for some good low down action shots.
Absolutely superb. Coming from Bournemouth, I know a little bit about the S&D so your layout becomes even more interesting.
Thanks. The S&D was a fascinating railway. I was lucky enough to travel the country in the mid 60's trainspotting but it was the S&D that was always the line I would model. A life long interest
Thank you for sharing your wonderful layout.
My pleasure
Fabulous! Glad I found this ......... at last! 😆
Welcome to BATH GREEN PARK. Do check out some of the other videos which demonstrate the progress over the last 5 years.
I had seen pictures of milk tankers going from Bath on the down line. Like you, I did not know where they were returning from. I had assumed it was from the Midlands. I did know that whey was stored in wooden barrels at Bailey Gate for a period of time.
Excellent thanks. All these anecdotes and snippets of information help build the bigger picture
Just as wonderful as always.
Thanks
Thanks as always, very enjoyable.
My pleasure
Hello and what a superb layout! Just come across these as I model Mangotsfield station. At 10.14 you mention a 'Target 45'. What does that mean? Thanks.
Absolutely brilliant as always
Thanks. Glad that you are enjoying the railway
Funny how I was watching the tv progamme on Bath Green Park farmers market earlier today!
Coincidence
Amazing detail absolutely brilliant
Thanks
Superb video !
Thanks
Superb!
Thanks
Excellence! 👏😊
Many thanks
My partner’s son - who has learning difficulties and autism - loves watching your videos. I suspect that they will also be popular with neurotypical children. Have you considered posting them on UA-cam Kids? Children would then be able to watch them without supervision.
Delighted to hear that these videos appeal to more than just railway modellers
Thanks again sadlymi
Pleasure
Imagine if you could shrink and ride that.
Wouldnt that be good
@@bathgreenpark2485 I would definitely ride this
@@ShitpostCentral282 I'll keep putting in footplate style rides on the videos so keep watching
@@bathgreenpark2485 cool
