For some reason this video seems to make you fell quite happy.

isn't that Rev. W. Awdry at 5:29 to 6:21 or is it just someone who looks like him?

[usra060]

@MrComedy01 I don't know. Thanks for watching!

I do believe I saw this very video running on a TV at the National Railway Museum in York when I visited last year. I remember finding it most amusing and a welcome rest at the time. Thank you very much for bringing this wonderful little memory back to me.

Thanks for the video I first visited this railway in 1962 and would guess that this film was recorded earlier than 1965, probably in 1955..lovely film and a priceless peice of railway history very nostalgic.....

Wilbert Awdry was actually a Volunteer to the railway and the Skarloey Railway was inspired by the events of this line

Not very often you capture accidents on preserved lines, is it?

A pity about the dreadful music. Did it not occur to anyone that people who watch this type of film like to hear the music of the engine and train? Pity also that the commentator did not learn to pronounce the welsh names correctly. Just as a matter of interest I am an ex-driver.

@drawstop Americans don't pronounce it the way you guys do.

This must have been filmed in the Railway's centenary year, no doubt.
