Sutherland Steam Railway Diesel Gala Saturday

Hi everyone!Sorry its been a while since our last vid!Our computer has been on the blink!Oh well,brand new one we've got now so the SSR is back online and raring to go!

This vid was filmed a couple of months back and includes a few clips of diesels in action on the line.We see examples of the Class 58,55,47 and 08 diesel locomotives as well as our industrial 0-4-0 shunter.

These were not the only diesels running however.The classes 31,50 and 110 DMU were also in action as well as the 2 resident American Diesels but sadly none of these feature in the video.

The enthusiast who filmed the footage didnt stay long but filmed the first two passenger round trips and the first freight train demonstration. More vids coming soon!

Enjoy!

Is your garden railway out all year or do you put it a way in the winter?

[steampics]

@penninefilms It lives outdoors all the time my friend. It is currently suffering terrible frost-bite due to snow!!

@steampics Aw...Poor railway... I like the title of the railway as my second name is Sunderland but my teachers usually call me Sutherland by mistake!!!

[penninefilms]

May I ask when its out side all year do the tracks some time need to be replaced ?

You have a Tri-Ang VR B class! I would have loved to see that run... a B class was my very first loco back at Xmas 1967! Great stuff, keep it up! :o)

Stepney Down Has managed to fit a coupling to the OB end of the OB Car!!

Possible but cannot really say as 4468, being such a detailed modelled, doesn't take well to some of the joints on the railway. However, 34051 is appearing at the gala this weekend and 4472 may appear during the year just so she is seen out and about. There are pics of this restored and repainted locomotive on the website (see channel for link). Cheers.New thing for the winter gala is fast TPO mail pick-ups, or so we're hoping!

GWR 175 go for it!!

Any Chance of an NRM weekend with 34051, 4472, 4468, and the other NRM locos??

[steampics]

That isn't possible mate! lol. If we ran everything that we own then we'd be looking at least 30 steamers and about 5 or 6 diesels out on the line so its just not possible! I try to make gala's and video's sort of realistic, hence the tenderfirst running and realistic train weights etc. We are considering a GWR 175 weekend to keep up with recent trends! lol. That would see three Panniers, two Prairies, a 14xx, a King, a Mogul, a Taffy possibly a 3rd Prairie as a guest. Lots of ideas. Comments??

@steampics you could do a Trains Spotters ball or anything goes weekend where u run all locos!!
