I don't think that loco will run on the railway. Because since the loco is out of guage to run, so basically I don't think it will run into the platforms easily and the LWR is not run to the foreign guage like the Nene Valley Railway.
@@timstrainvideos142 I think the MPD shed volunteers got enough to do with the other locos like Fulstow and Lion the 2 Peckett Saddle Tanks. And also RSH Tank Zebedee and Barclay Saddle Tank Spitifire.
It was purchased from Swedish state railways and bought to Britain in fully maintained and working condition. It was the British "preservationists" who allowed it to get into that sorry state.
Very interesting video, thank you. It looks as if Ludborough Station is very well kept and tidy, with some essential workshops too. However, the rest of it appears to be a linear scrapyard full of vehicles which are unlikely ever to be restored. I know many heritage railways started off this way but, unless there is a vast injection of cash and volunteer labour, most of the rolling stock will either be scrapped or sold off. There are plenty of other established heritage railways which offer much more.
They are trying to extend the track up to the next lane (Pear Tree Lane) and they have got more track laid. I agree with you though that there is a lot of 'stuff' down there. Frankly I hadn't seen it all till we had the invitation to wander - part of the track is shut off to visitors during 'open' days..... The train - when it runs- trundles along at 15mph for about a mile or so..... nice for the kids... :)
Very best wishes to the railway, may success come your way. BUT straight, flat line, severn valley, bluebell, great central it aint. Hope that in a year or two it can become a 'northants and lamport'.
Have you got any other videos that highlight your rolling stock? The steam locomotive in the beginning looks very interesting... of European origin, maybe? A narrative would have been favorable instead of the "muzak." I found myself reaching for the mute button. Look forward to seeing more of this railway.
Hi - I'm afraid I've nothing to do with the railway itself. I know nothing about the rolling stock at all - I was there because the camera club were given permission to shoot. There's no way I could have done a narrative of any kind. Sorry about the 'muzak' - best I could do rather than just show the video in silence.... :)
The aerial filming was excellent, but I wonder what is the point of yet another "heritage" railway with lots of decrepit stock, when established lines are struggling with the costs of maintenance and running?
We visited there couple years ago come from gy & we enjoyed our mini day trip
Glad you enjoyed it. Bet it's changed a bit now.
Plenty of work to do. But hey, it’s a big sky and there’s the horizon to reach for.
I'd love to see that Swedish steam locomotive restored & running.

just cosmetic restoration would be good!

Fantastic place to fly. Fantastic footage 👍
Thank you..... :)
Interesting video, thanks for sharing it.

I can call myself a profesional photographer, but know nothing about drone photography. What machine is used? It's very stable.
DJI mini3 Pro - great little drone. under 250g enables you to use it in more places without contravening CAA regulations.

@@dianeseddon OK... I understand 👍
The steam loco at the start is a Swedish B class 4-6-0 .There's another one at Wansford.
@marmion150 thanks for that 😀
Where is this place
Fulstow, Lincolnshire. UK
The aerial filming was excellent, but I wonder what is the point of yet another "heritage" railway with lots of decrepit stock, when established lines are struggling with the costs of maintenance and running?
Good music but not much steaming going on except the kettle
True - the bacon butties in the kettle are pretty good though..... :)
Not sure Finnish locomotive same guage as british ?!!!
Rubbish.
Well, thank you for that positive review. LOL.
Excellent never knew it existed would love to live there.
Amazing! You just came here to talk about yourself.
I’ve no idea what that is supposed to mean - sorry!
@@dianeseddon It’s a reply to the unappreciative comment by geraldmartin, Diane. Have I put it in the wrong place?
