Preserved Railway Narrow Gauge Freight

A collection of slots of demonstration goods trains on narrow gauge preserved lines around the United Kingdom.

We take a look at a variety of narrow gauge locomotives on a mixture of freight stock around Wales and England. Featuring 'Ryam Sugar Company' Davenport 0-4-0 1586 from Statfold Barn Railway visiting the Welsh Highland Railway, where we also see a number of Beyer Garratt NGG16s and the Pioneer Garratt K1 and Hunslet Trangkil No. 4. Visiting the Ffestiniog we see Kerr Stuart 'Diana' (1158), Chuquitanta, Samson (from Beamish) and Maragaret, while home based Hunslet's Hugh Napier, Linda and Blanche are also seen in slate train action. Superb, Joan & Countess are seen on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, while Alice, Holy War and Diana are seen on a variety of freight works. Quarry Hunslets Cloister & Jack Lane are seen at Statfold Barn Railway, alongside Threlkeld Quarry where we also see Irish Mail and Stanhope, amongst other locomotives. Other locations featured include the Isle of Man Steam Railway, West Lancashire Light Railway, Apedale Valley Light Railway and Amerton Railway's.

There is a distinct lack of Ffestiniog Vintage Goods Trains in this volume, next week starts our Narrow Gauge on Saturdays month and the first program will look at Ffestiniog Vintage Goods and Gravity Trains.

There is a similar tourist light gauge railway in Australia called the Pichi a place called Quorn. The cane tram rail system in north Queensland by comparison is very extensive and works in a commercial capacity, and is non-steam.

Thank you . I appreciate this video so much ! Because I dearly would like to see the narrow gauge trains in the U K . I have read about British steam trains since I was a kid but I do not have time to visit them in England so I will try to view some exported victorian steam next time I am in asia !

8:22 wow that garret is prob the biggest one I think!

[talldog]

45:38 That engine has some of the biggest drive wheels I’ve ever seen on narrow gauge steam loco! What is that engine?

[richardjellis]

You should have put a label in the top corner of the screen, telling us which railway we were looking at each different clip.!
Otherwise...
Great video.!😁!.

[giuseppearditi]

Queste locomotive sono dei veri propri gioielli molto interessanti ho molto gradito questo video

[tonyromano]

Amazing! UK does something right!

This stuff is incredible!

How does all this get paid for? Tourists? In the US the taxes on the land alone would kill railroads like this.

[linkdancer]

And here I thought freight for railways like this where extinct, but I’m glad I was wrong.

[BigTennisBallandPikachu]

by the way... the best vid ever! 😁😄😃😀😉🙂

[kineticrail]

Excellent as ever. I'm a sucker for some narrow gauge action especially the war department locos. I do like seeing Samson such a quirky little thing. Whats the next subject planned?

[themechbuilder]

1:51 those coal cars seen in the video they have a specific design?
and what is that design called like?

[Nomad]

Is this just for show or can you actually pay to have goods shipped by rail?

[donotwantahandle]

Ah the little trains that helped build Britain. 3:31 That has to be the smallest Garratt built!

[BigTennisBallandPikachu]

5:42 what railway is that red engine working on?

[LosowyEN]
