- As with last year, after visiting the Alan Keef Ltd Open Day we visited the Perrygrove Miniature Railway for their vintage trains day. This was to be a much bigger event than last year as there would be four steam locomotives in service, three diesels and forty trains operating throughout the day on their 1 1/2 mile return trip.
The locomotives operating were:
0-6-0T 'Spirit Of Adventure' built in 1993 by the Exmoor Steam Railway
0-6-0T 'Ursula' built in 1999 by James Waterfield, working the vintage trains. (She had just been retubed and got her new boiler certificate the day before)
2-6-2T 'Lydia' built in 2008 by Alan Keef Ltd
0-4-0+0-4-0 K1 Garratt built by the Bush Mill Railway (Unfortunately she was later to fail and was taken back to the shed)
4wDH 'Jubilee' built in 1998 by Hunslet
0-4-0D 'Workhorse' built in 1963 by Motor Rail of Bedford
0-4-0D Lister Railtruck no.54181 built in 1964
Shots included in this video are:
K1 rolling down the gradient heading to Perrygrove
'Ursula' charging up the 1:30 gradient from Heywood Station up to Oakiron Station.
K1 moving off her train at Perrygrove to take on water, 'Jubilee' is also seen whilst 'Workhorse' & the Lister Railtruck bring out the rail train, K1 then moves off onto the opposite line to head back into the shed.
'Ursula' arriving into Perrygrove Station whilst 'Lydia' can be heard charging up the gradient.
'Spirit Of Adventure' & 'Lydia' are seen rolling down the first of the three long curves on the line after leaving Oakiron, afterwords 'Workhorse' and the Lister Railtruck are seen heading the opposite way. They are then seen returning under the footbridge.
'SoA' is seen climbing up the gradient. Then only just making it, seen arriving into Oakiron Station then departing, only just making it again she is seen through the trees rolling down to Perrygrove.
'Ursula' passing through Heywood Station then seen rolling down the gradient.
'Lydia' & 'SoA' climbing up the gradient to Oakiron.
Back at Perrygrove 'Lydia' moves off to the shed and 'SoA' follows suit. The two are seen with K1 outside the shed, being cleaned after a long days work.
'Ursula' is seen shunting stock for a train for railway staff and family, then for the last time of the day is seen climbing up the gradient once again. Then seen from the shed at Perrygrove (I was given permission to step into the yard and take this shot).
Filmed on a Panasonic HDC-HS60 HD Camcorder
Enjoy
Alas! We have lost those days.
Thank you for creating your dream Mr Croft
I very fondly remember a footplate ride on the Bush Mill Garrat in Tasmania. A lovely locomotive
What a great little railway. Love that double cross-over in the yard too. Nice one Kris, going to see the ones you uploaded last year now. All the best Tim.
@roypembroke thank you =) It was a good day filming. Yeah the Garratt is lovely, it's just a shame she failed when we got there =(
Beautiful, Wish I was able to see the garratt back when it was here in tassie
These little steam locomotives have quite a gallop to them, I particularly like that Garrat!
Wow... they have some amazing trains there, i would love to see it in real life :)
a super video of nice day out here ! thank you :)
Some interesting engines there. Those diesels look fun as well.
I have just subbed to your channel on the back of the last PG film, lovely work, I used to live in Gloucester (now in Sussex) but will have to plan a trip to the forest to visit this! well done.
love it.looks a great place,lovely garrett on a small gauge
Muy bueno el trenecito y hermoso paisaje.
This is the wonders of engineering,nice video!
@siobhan104 thanks again Tim =) It is a brilliant little railway, had a great day.
Good footage and a lovely railway
The valve gear on the blue tank engine is a Hackworth type, for those not familiar with it.
Beautifully maintained track.

Thank you =) It sure is a lovely railway.
Nice shots!
Thank you =) It is a fantastic railway, shame I couldn't see the Garratt when she was doing some up hill work =/
Very nicely filmed. 5*
They are very nice engines =) Thanks for watching & commenting.
Awesome
Very nice 👌 jurniy
en mi país no hay nada de esto para que los niños disfruten, un tren miniatura con un circuito turístico hermoso , en otros países hay cultura, amor por los trenes y acá no un lastima porque estos son hermoso y por cierto soy fanático de los trenes
@davidperrygrove thanks for commenting David =) Really enjoyed it the gala, a great day out. Would've gotten there earlier but we were late getting to the Alan Keef open day. Don't think I can think of any improvements if I'm honest, it was fantastic as it was =)
Speed to the West ffxbcffxmcfhgvzbrg
This is narrow gauge not miniture
crossing tooooooot XD
I'd be holding a W sign if I was there
@TimHall42 thank you Tim =)
@AN21files cheers mate =)
Why do they have the engines backwards? Is there a particular reason or did they not rotate the engines around
justice lee its narrow gauge there's not much point turning them around plus many sites don't have the space for a turntable
Are their any of these near me? (I live in Indiana, Anderson)
Not likely most such railways are in the UK
