I've always adored the A1X. That telltale 'bark' exhaust cycle that take the Terrier its nickname, and the amazing footplate view. Great video. Thanks for uploading.
Astonishing that these locomotives were the mainstay of commuter services into the LBSCR London termini. Lovely exhaust beat and an unfussy performance. Many thanks.
I have a great DVD on Southern steam and it shows how difficult these are to fire. You have to get down on the knees to see inside the firebox, so these have to be fired blind.locos @@steamengineerPMW
Well I mean what do you expect....hardly looked up "Terrier steam locomotive" to expect videos of the Empire State Building or cheese or the depreciation of house prices like 😂
Generally, Alvin, people who comment on trains are a decent bunch of enthusiasts around the world, united by their interest, and polite to each other and to newcomers. I’d count myself as a newcomer, not to railways, but to commenting. It’s been a great experience, even when I have asked basic questions. Cheers!
Like my Jack Russell, she may be a small, but she’s a doughty spirit. Enjoyed the crossings on this line. One of my grandfather’s little jobs as a station master was to visit the crossing keepers and signal boxes with their wage packets. As a relief stationmaster on the SR and then BR (SR), he visited an awful lot of them, some in isolated places where the welcome sight of a coal fire and kettle awaited. I remember one such trip with him from Romsey station in a Ford Zodiac taxi when I was a lad. Your video brought back good memories. Cheers!
I love the barking, such a small little engine, you'd think a small engine on a 1 in 35 with 2 coaches would not make it, especially with the tractive effort of a Terrier, nevertheless, I really think the old Hornby models of the Terrier have captured its speed and tractive effort, while the new hornby one seems to be faster, but looks better with the new tooling.

Hi Stephen. Yes, and all the more so when you realise that 32678 is going to be 140 years old in 2020! Thanks for comment - we aim to please!
Looked like some very fine firing too, all done by Cranbrook Rd....
Nice video.

Well done. The terriers are my favourite tank engines.
Love terrier it is a testament that 10 are preserved that's a fifth of the class amazing
32678 has just been overhauled and is back in service again!
Tiny, cute, magical, I can't find any more words to describe the Tiny Terrier Tank Engine.
I love how these comments are of people that are genuinely interested in trains

@@phph1731 Hope you will have a good journey!
Great footage leaving Rolvenden. The wide curve towards Tenterden is a perfect photo op. to get a great side shot of the locomotive.

What a great story, thanks for sharing!
Great video certainly helped me spot some good filming spots along the gradient for when i visit
Wow! She went up the 1 in 50 like nothing!
Fabulous 💕
Steam engines are mighty the first type of train ever build. And i adore the a1 and the a1x terriers
My father is a old steam train driver in Myanmar.Now he is 91 years old.
Wow! Well done to him!
@@SixpennyFilms Thank so much.
Amazing that knowle has been overhauled now... as soon as everyone is vaccinated and things get back to normal this is the first thing I’ll do!
Yes, Knowle is in running order again. Check timetable at kesr.org.uk
