Great video Matt!!! Heading out to our local live steam railroad club tomorrow. (3-1/2, 4-3/4 NS 7-1/4) It will be a good day but nothing like the day you just had. Keep the videos coming though I have to stop living vicariously through my creator friends and start getting my hinnie in gear and work on my own projects here in the shop. Dick B.USA
The aroma in the air was fantastic steam, steam oil, smoke. There was one there that was really sulphury don’t know what it was burning but it wasn’t pleasant 😬. All the best, laters, Matt (West of the Pennines 😉).
They are at the back of the tender at the top, you can just see the cylinder covers at the rear at the beginning of the footage. I should have looked inside the tender!! All the best, Laters, Matt
Hi Matt, this was a great video. I wish we had places like this in Canada! If anyone is interested in seeing Astley Green Colliery as it was, check out UA-cam user Gandy Dancer Productions. He has videos of Austerity tank engines at Astley Green around 1970, as well as some modern live steam.
Thanks Ian, Heritage is very important, I'm surprised to hear there is nothing similar over there. I've watched a few of Gandy's videos and I'm amazed at how much has gone in 50years, there is nothing left. We plan to go back and we may go further afield to see if we can find any remnants of the railway left. Great footage and information too. All the best, laters, Matt
@@MattChiversWorkshop ripped up gone in 1972 and what was left buried went in 1979 with the landscaping and trees I know because I saw it get bulldozed up best of luck though
@@chrispritchard3775 from Google earth it shows some small areas of old track bed still visible from the sky. Gandy dancer UA-cam channel has some excellent footage and narration in the last years of use, shame the museum couldn’t get a stretch of it, would have been a great addition to the place. All the best, Matt
Very interesting video you done and thanks for sharing DD.
Thanks Medway, all the best, Matt

Nice to see Matt has an audience in the USA. I'm also on your side of the Pond, in Canada!
Thanks Dick, Well I hope you had fun down at your club, hopefully you took your video camera and are putting a video up 😉? All the best, Laters, Matt
At 2.03, is that a Sentinel steam loco on the track by the building? Nice day out by the looks of things.
It’s a mine engine, think 🤔 a Hunslet but can’t remember. Was a brilliant day, even started my sun tan! 🤣. All the best buddy. Matt.
great Matt
Wish it was smelly vision!! laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Very cool. Love it. Where are the cylinders on that J&F Howard traction engine 1871?

Wow! Does the sun actually shine in England? The three times I visited there it only rained 🌧
