Richard was rostered as fireman that day. To cover the duty four of his closest friends decided to fire a trip each. As you can see they turned the engine out superbly.
Thank-you very much for posting this, he is greatly missed.
Excellent footage and a nice tribute to Richard and the team at KWVR. It must have been hard for them to carry on working over the weekend. Condolences to his family.
Fantastic video, not having been to the KVWR i dont really know many people there, but my thoughts are with his family and all the volunteers at the KVWR. Loved the shots of 3:46 , looked like a shot from Copy Pit.
@ShaurntheSheep The earth abutment has been excavated as part of the clearance of the disused mill buildings which were adjacent to the Railway, and the general tidying of that area. I don't know if the earthworks will be replaced. Hopefully they will.
Thanks Ken - brilliant. I loved that beautifully clean exhaust in the opening shot, against a clear blue sky! You missed out the "w" in Wreath, by the way. Can you explain to the ignorant how Richard died so suddenly? It passed me by.
Thank you, from a (regretfully) non volunteering member.
