Dear Tim, I watch your videos over and over as they are such a solace in the time of my husband's grave illness and subsequent passing. They help me get back to positive
Hello Anna, it's nice to hear from you. It's hard saying goodbye to loved ones, it takes time to rebuild life without them, I pleased my videos help a little, the world is full of amazing places and people. I wish you all the best in the future. Tim.
This is theBEST ride I have seen in along, long time. Awesome treetop views, switchbacks and commentary. I would LOVE this ride. Awesome construction too. Particularly like the brick tunnel approach.
Hi James, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. This railway has a real feel good factor about it, there is a sense of humour about the place that reflects it's creator's personality. Sadly he recently passed away, but his legacy will leave people smiling for generations to come.
Just found this video from you. I've been there, and it was absolutely the weirdest and at the same time the most breath taking train ride anywhere. And all done from inside their heart and mind, no bussiness plan but just idealism. I also loved the Kiwi aproach on health and safety, no regulations which dictate that structures and trees must be at a safe distance, just the home made warning signs and the driver telling us before departure "keep arms and head inside the coaches please, as we don't carry any spares with us"
+dieselmupke I love Kiwi humour, and their can do attitude gets things done. For me this little railway encapsulates everything I love about New Zealand and New Zealanders.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Barry was an amazing man went to Coromandel to teach hated it bought this property to make pottery to get the clay out of where is was built his own railway but the bank finally said you are not paying enough of the loan back you need to open up your railway to the public one of the few times I can say thank you to a bank have done the trip twice now.
@@kiwihib Hi, I bought the book and video when I visited the first time, Barry was actually driving our train. His story is real New Zealand stuff, sadly he is no longer with us, but he has left a wonderful legacy for us to enjoy,
@@Timsvideochannel1 Meet the first time I went as well took my brothers family on the trip two years ago still an amazing trip I worked for 14 years on the New Zealand Railways so know what massive effort went into this railway.
Another reason I would love to visit NZ. What a ride! I must say that with such a narrow gauge one would not want to lean over too far out of concern if tipping the rail car over!
My wife and I spent a very happy and enjoyable day in the Coromandel, with a great side trip to the Driving creek Railway and Pottery, the time spent here was well worth it, the train ride is simply a beautiful viewfest, riding thru native bush and getting ocasional sea views across the tree tops, The staff are fun people and the entire experience well worth a second time revisit. Thank you
Barry Durrant Its good to know your visit was enjoyable, like yourself I enjoyed the humor, scenery and general quirky nature of the place, I will certainly visit again when I am next in the area.
Hi, this is a very New Zealand experience where the Kiwi "Can do" attitude has resulted in this wonderful railway. I f you'd like to know a little more please click on this link - drivingcreek.nz/about-us/about-the-railway/
It's a pretty unique place, where the creator's personality and sense of humour is evident all around. Sadly he has passed away, but this place is a wonderful testament to a man who lived life to the full.
Another awesome trip. Such a beautiful place to see. How blessed you are to be able to go to so many beautiful places. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys. I am truly amazed by your videos. They are so real and filmed so very, very good. I love rain forest and find them very fascinating to learn about. I am sharing your videos with my friends and hope they enjoy them as much as I do. Thanks for the informative links in your comments below. Safe travels ahead. God bless.
Hi, thank you for your kind comment. I filmed this extraordinary place on my first trip to New Zealand in 2005. The guy who built it was a real one off character who built the line to transport clay for his pottery. As time passed he realised the potential of taking passengers up the hill. His humour is evident in almost every corner the pottery and railway. Sadly he has passed away now, but he has left this unusual railway for visitors to enjoy.

Very good congratulations ... train from Brazil greetings ... DUTRA
Hi, it was a pleasure to meet the people responsible for building this railway and pottery. The whole place has a real Kiwi atmosphere, whether climbing the aptly named Eye Full Tower or listening to the "tongue in cheek" humor as our driver pointed out various achievements and places of interest.
Oi, a pequena ferrovia foi construída para transportar argila da encosta até a cerâmica, hoje os passageiros de transporte ferroviário através da vegetação natural. Hi, the little railway was built to carry clay from the hillside to the pottery, today the railway transport passengers though the natural vegetation.
As always, a very beautiful ride, and somehow out-of-this-world... 4:45 kinda strange, the wall of empty wine bottles to the right. 7:10 how did you keep your eyes open at the last reversing point ? 10:32 the hand painted caution sign is too cute - :-) 12:57 I always wanted to buy a brick as a souvenir, haha
Hi, this railway reflects the Kiwi attitude and humour, the guy responsible for its creation wanted to bring clay from further up the hill down to his pottery, hence the railway. As it turned out, once he started offering rides, people flocked to the pottery to experience his unique railway. Sadly Barry has passed on now, he will be remembered for his creations, both the railway and his pottery works.
The guy responsible for the existence of the pottery and the railway left the world with a wonderful legacy. I was lucky enough to spend time with him before he passed on, he was a truly remarkable man, a real Kiwi. it was a privilege to have met him.
@@Timsvideochannel1 years ago i did hear of 'a potter in new zealand building a railway. sorry to hear of the loss. good luck, wishing you success with continuing the legacy.
@@alexpiper9475 Hi, you might find this link interesting - www.thecoromandel.com/coromandel-blogs/barry-brickell-visionary/ His legacy will last for generations to come.
Ah, yes, this fits the definition of "Light Rail"! Small locos and carriages which are entered/exited like sedan cars, running on narrow-gauge tracks. This could almost be the NZ equivalent of Ravenglass-to-Eskdale in England.
You'd love this place Neil, I was privileged enough to meet the guy behind this railway, Barry Brickell (sadly passed away now). This railway started out as a means of transporting clay for his pottery. Take a look at this link to learn more - www.drivingcreekrailway.co.nz/
Hi, Tim! What cracked me up was the reference to the "Eyefull Tower". I made reference also to the definition of "Light Rail" in my comment 16 hours earlier and referred to Ravenglass in England. This system fits that definition perfectly. Where a tramway would take up too much space, a system like this is an extremely viable option. This would far better suit Newcastle Australia than what they want to put in here.
The "Eyefull Tower" is a reflection of the Kiwi humour that typifies the place. Light railways were originally introduced in the UK as a means of keeping construction costs down, some are standard gauge, others are narrow. They were limited to a maximum speed of 25 mph and the rolling stock did not have to meet the crash worthiness standards required for heavy rail. The effect was lighter rolling stock running on an alignment that required the minimum of engineering. There was a man who became famous for saving some of these light railways, Colonel Holman Fred Stephens. Check out this link to find a little more out about the man and the railways that entered preservation as a result of his actions - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._F._Stephens You may also be interested to know that Britain's preserved railways use "light railway orders" to obtain permission to carry passengers, that is why they are generally limited to 25 mph.
Yeah, Tim. As I said, these light rail systems would be far better for Newcastle than the tramway system they're currently planning. The narrow gauge would take up less room in the road as Hunter Street splits off into Scott Street. It's just that the NSW state government is too stupid to realise this.
