At 6:44 you see the incline to Ravenstor on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. This section of line is now open to passengers.

It would be nice to see credit extended to the late Ivo Peters, who filmed this footage. (And to his son, who holds the copyright!)

At first I thought the guy at :07 was giving me the middle finger.

2:51, Avonside, Percy :P

What a coincidence.

@BhanuHabbo Percy on the railway series was actually based on an Avonside 0-4-0ST named Percy, could well be the one featured here!

[crazyracer12]

@littlegiant18794 I thought he was based on the Y9 0-4-0ST

[littlegiant18794]

@crazyracer12 No, he was based on an avonside engine. Apparently its partly based on number 1340 at Didcot

[crazyracer12]

@littlegiant18794 Ah, I see. :P

@littlegiant18794 yes, the description given of this class is "a green caterpillar with red stripes" LOL

All traces of our industrial past has been scoured from the earth over the last 30 years,its as though councils,government and land owners have had some agenda against or extreme hatred of our once vast industrial past.

Its nice to see a private railway and see they can make it pay so why not our railways with all the revenue they can make.
