Tanfield Railway in the snow

[robertgift]

Wonderful video!

Anyone notice the white arrow -> formed by snow flakes at :08?

Efficient use of weight having the water tank over the drive wheels.

Does lost boiler heat prewarm the water? (The warmer the incoming water, the less energey used to heat it.)

Thank you.

@robertgift The lost heat doesnt pre-heat the boiler but stops it from freezing

this railway needs to be made bigger, if its the oldest in the world it should also get a much longer run not just 6 miles at least 20 miles

@cprich22 The railway cannot extend as at both ends we have housing estates and main roads. We would if we could but we are limited by funds too

I was the train guard on that day. Freezing cold, but probably one of the best turns I have done. The scenery through Causey was amazing!
