[Jlk2707]

Cool! Tar Wagons Rock!

[robmasterman]

@Jlk2707 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it...Bob

[noelist]

I think they'll need a few hours wire brushing by some willing volunteers, but they certainly look in good nick considering the time spent standing idle, maybe the tar helped to preserve them?, they ran off the wagon without a squeak, great video Bob, cheers.

[robmasterman]

@noelist These are rare vehicles of which not many are preserved Leon, and as you say the oil and grime will presreve them for a few more years...Bob

[MG06ZT]

Another unusual and good vid, nice to see the tanks beat the scrapyard. I noticed the greenery, on the rear tank, as the tanks approached the railway - done on purpose/or a dive into a tree, who knows!

[robmasterman]

@MG06ZT These have been standing in the open for over twenty years Keith, and still in amazing condition ...Thanks for your support....Bob

[bladesman123]

Thankyou for uploading, i like the spoked wheels on these

Dave

[robmasterman]

@bladesman123 Thanks Dave, if you look closer, only one has the spoked wheels, the other has the newer holed wheels...Thanks as always for watching...Bob

[robmasterman]

@johnwood57 A good steam clean and a coat of paint and they'll be like new John.....surely!!!...:o)...Bob­

[kenbrowne1947]

A very interesting sequence and good to see the low loader approach shot into the yard and subsequent shunting moves . Thanks for sharing it Bob! Ken

[robmasterman]

@kenbrowne1947 Thanks very much Ken, I tried to show things not normally seen...delighted you enjoyed it....Bob

[modemeyes]

Thanks Bob -good production and a fascinating insight...........Mike

[robmasterman]

@modemeyes Just something a little different Mike...Thanks as always...Bob

[molzips]

Bob, Very interesting. A well captured and edited video. Thanks for sharing. Regards, John

[robmasterman]

@molzips Thanks John, had a better day today filming real steam on the mainline.....Bob

[JPMiller14]

Again an interesting clip at Cynheidre. great footage Bob

[robmasterman]

@JPMiller14 Gives an insight into otherwise unseen side of preservation Justin...many thanks...Bob

[MonochromeLoco]

It's good to see something getting a new lease of life, rather than ending up in scrap yard. Respect.....Keith

[robmasterman]

@MonochromeLoco Especially when they had been forgotten about and neglected for over 20 years...Bob

[Bevoin1970]

Absolutely superb, Bob, I was riveted to the spot throughout. Those old tankers, if only they could talk, just watching them roll off the trailer, the sounds etc was brilliant.

Wonder how old they are, they look like some old book about to be dusted off and reborn again.

Fantastic video, really enjoyed every second of this. Look forward to the next instalment in this saga...

Paul :-)

[1Z88]

The railway has been very busy, I hope they have somewhere to put all this stock! Great capture Bob as always. Will.

[robmasterman]

@1Z88 Thanks Will, fortunately they have plenty of space and it's growing, albeit slowly...so the future's ok....Bob

[EMuksteam]

Super video Bob Allelys do a fine job.

[AN21files]

Looks like an interesting railway. Good luck to them and with the preservation of these two Tar Tanks.

[robmasterman]

@AN21files Thanks very much, they are small but they have a dedicated team of volunteers....Bob

[Gian2812]

Another interesting and wonderful video by Bob. Thanks for sharing. Gian ;)

[pwalpar]

awesome video Bob, this is something you dont get to see everyday

[robmasterman]

@pwalpar Thanks my friend I try my best....Bob

[penninefilms]

Can I ask as I have never hired of this railway before it is a new on or just getting some more rolling stock.

[robmasterman]

@penninefilms This centre has been in existence for many years, and has a Web Page if you would like to look it up, it gives you all the facts you need...Bob

[penninefilms]

@robmasterman Ok thanks as always.

[balmesh]

Really Bob, you must have a very good hot-line to absolutely everywhere! But you make the most of it, and your usual meticulous technique gives it the pro flavour! Smashing, to coin a phrase! . . . . Alan

[robmasterman]

@balmesh I am indeed very fortunate to be able to get this wonderful footage Alan, and I am very appreciative of your continued support....Bob

[mvjedforest]

Very interested to see the "Thomas Ness Tar Plant" plates at 3:25 on the video. That means that the wagons used to be just across the other side of the BR line from the Caerphilly Society, so I've probably seen them in their working days!...Mervyn

[robmasterman]

@mvjedforest Spot on Mervyn, I must have photos of these in my collection somewhere....Bob

[wooltman]

Another good video Bob,TAR for that!!!!!

[robmasterman]

@wooltman Ha ha...I like that Chris, Thanks once again....Bob

[dbdrdbag]

Very sharp and clear video! A real eye-opener! Thanks a lot!

[robmasterman]

@dbdrdbag Thanks very much for your kind and greatly appreciated comments....Bob

[canvids1]

a great two videos on the arrival of railcars to the museum Bob

[robmasterman]

@canvids1 Thanks Wayne, your continued support is greatly appreciated....Bob

[siobhan104]

Excellent trilogy of films Bob. Lovely to see films from preserved lines at the "other end of the scale" as it were. A rather unique way to get the vehicles of the trailers too. All the best....Tim.

[robmasterman]

@siobhan104 Thanks Tim, keeps me out of trouble, and hopefully shows the rarer side of Railway preservation...Bob

[jagafoto]

Great video! Congratulations!... Thanks for posting!

[robmasterman]

@jagafoto Thanks, I've tried to show aspects of Railways not usually seen....Bob

[howarth004]

Keeping Alley`s busy down your end Bob, and of course the restoration Boy`s will be keeping busy, well captured , I like the way they roll off the trailor and down the track, with Mr. Alleys keeping the chain tied to stop it if neccessary

[robmasterman]

@howarth004 The look on Stuart's face the owner of the Leyland coach was a picture as these two wagons headed towards his vehicle...but all was under control....Thanks Dave as always....Bob

[Grandcentraltrainuk]

Very good

[robmasterman]

@Grandcentraltrainuk Thank you.....Bob

[JamesandPeter]

Great video.

JamesandPeter

[EWS60500]

[robmasterman]
