- On a recent trip to see family we visited this local heritage railway on a very quiet Saturday in early September 2023. It is run by a very friendly team of staff and volunteers. All details, costs and timetables are available on their website:

Watching from Brasil, great memories of this area in 80s and 90s..thanks
Hello! Very pleased to know that you enjoyed it. Best wishes, Kirk & Bear.
Nice video, Like!
Happy you enjoyed it 👍
That LT loco looked Immaculate
It was. Clean as a whistle. Gorgeous.
The loco's were Immaculate
Lots of hard work all round! They were even polishing the loco in North Weald while changing ends.
A few years back I went to a beer festival there. One of the best festivals I’ve been to
I’ve not been to many beer festivals, but I always like the idea of them! Cheers from K&B 🍻
Small prairie looks good in LT livery.
I agree - an excellent choice.
They deserve more customers!
Everything clean as a whistle, and a great collection of locos!
Certain it was a merlin, but I thought it was a Hurricane
They do indeed. Really friendly team too - we spent 20mins in the signal box chatting.
You might be right - I didn’t get a close look unfortunately, but it sounded great and turned up at the perfect moment!
Most likely a dual seat spitfire owned by Aero Legends doing pleasure flights from North Weald airfield. The also offer Tigermoth, Harvard and BAC Strike Master flights.
@@tomhami Thanks for clarifying …it sounds like you have the answer! I appreciate the info. Best wishes, K&B.
@@kirkandbear no worries, I'm a yocal and actually work the ale train bars sometimes. Great vid btw, the Diesel Gala is usually an excellent event and was just two weeks ago.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We were in the area visiting family so we don’t know it particularly well. Thanks for being part of the team that lays on such a great day out - everyone was really helpful and friendly.
A phantasy livery+ Westinghouse compressor
I think so. Looks nice though 👍
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass at the station, i like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, like 50, you earned a new subscriber, Greetings from Portugal to the UK.
Hi, and thanks for subscribing and the super feedback! There will be more heritage railways, I promise. There is a playlist of the ones we have visited so far if you’re interested. There will also be other travel videos as well should that be of interest as well. Best wishes from the UK, Kirk & Bear.
@@kirkandbear it was my pleasure, mate.
@@kirkandbear I have some amazing videos of the Portuguese trains, feel free to see.
I’ll check them out. We’re F1 fans as well!
@@LisbonRailProductionsandF1 Sub’d back 👍
Great video - looks & sounds like a Spitfire at 7:37
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed it. Well spotted - it flew through the shot at just the right moment!
Never knew the Met ran ex GWR prairies!
😀👍
Are there still scorpions on Ongar station ❓️
Good question. Nobody has seen any for years, but who knows? I can say that I didn’t se any 😀
I see you travelled between Ongar and North Weald. When is it planned to open the whole line to Epping?
Hi, and thanks for getting in touch. I’m not sure to be honest - the website suggests that they run a vintage bus service on to Epping, but we didn’t use it on the day that we visited. It would be nice if it went a bit further thought - the end of the line was at a bridge but without a station once we passed through North Weald. All the best, K&B 👋
It won't. Its due to LU.@@kirkandbear
Doesn't go far, it take me longer to get of my town then the length of the line.
Seems like you only go past North Weald on the DMU to give the Steam Loco a chance to swap ends :-) Still very good though.
