- BBC mini documentary on Reverend 'Teddy' Boston and his life of God, Steam and Music.
I have no rights to this, its all the BBC's, uploading as I think everyone should be able to watch what seems to be a rare bit of footage
It has been recorded off of the TV in the 90s and then transferred to DVD so the quality and sound isnt the greatest but does get better! Bare with it!
Visited Cadeby Rectory in the late 70s. What a generous gentleman. He had Pixie in steam, we ran the model railway in the shed and watched 8mm movies of old railways (before they were widely available thanks to video and UA-cam). We never got to see the traction engine
I have heard that he was good at driving steam engines I think this very true because of the interview and the bible story in the book he wrote shortly before he passed away about him restoring Pixie.
Interviewer: So far we've seen your light railway, your traction engines, your steamroller, your models, is there anything we've missed?
Boston: Hold my oil can
loved watching him driving the little standard gauge saddle tank engine
I love how the standard gauge saddle engine has now been renamed Teddy after him
I had the pleasure to meet Teddy Boston when I was eight, I was impressed by the model railway and my father drove the traction engine at our village fair in Desford.
Dad’s new shirt didn’t survive the experience!😂
1:30 Rev. Boston puts it best. I've never been able to explain Why I love steam powered machines😊
I really like the painting of Thistle down the steam roller in the back ground behind Him
I think I love steam engines because they work by a fire boiling water to make the steam pressure to make them work. probably go the steam bug from my brother
Rest In Peace rev Boston
What a cool vicar! Loved the video. Thanks for uploading.
Rev Dr inderjit very good
The rev teddy would hand in head in shame in what the battlefield line has become as it is being completely mismanaged and a few directors who want to change things Wont be listened too I can go on with a complete list of what’s wrong with it but I shan’t but that list goes from bullying of other members to the embattlement of the railway
Former volunteer here I find myself in agreement, I always got the impression it was being treated like a full size train set, and would find myself never working on the same project week to week. When I started to be able to visit other lines of similar length it became even more obvious to me that we were not operating as other lines, one day my naïve 13 year old self asked about the prospect of hiring a "big railway engine" like a Jinty as poor old Sir Gomer was constantly in and out of being usable I was told by one of the older volunteers if I wanted that to "Foxtrot Oscar" to another railway. That was my last day there.
I am saddened to hear this though still, I thought with the loans of Small Prairie, Hall, Caledonian 0-4-4T and previously the T9 etc were evidence at a better managed railway with a sense of direction at last.
Hi all! Does anyone know what the name of the melody he plays? Thank you!
Wasn’t the traction-engine that Boston owned saved from scrap, too, like Trevor?
I believe that story was based on reality - Rev. Awdry and Teddy Boston were good friends, and Trevor gets sold to a vicar, that's not a coincidence!
@@firstnamelastname5358 What about that East Angelian vicar?
in the story saved from scrap its mentioned that the Vicar of Wellsworth uses Trevor for jobs that are suitable for a Traction engine so its possibly true that Awdry based him on Boston's own Traction engine.
