Greatly enjoyed your video Ralph - sorry had to ease up eventually on the hill up to the station where you were filming but thought it would not look too good if we wiped out anyone on the level crossing, and the track was just a little rough too!

That would never do, and you do have to stop in the station or end up in ther sand trap!!!!!

The track's condition makes Chasewater Light Railway look like the west coast main line!!!!

Yes it is a little rough, but at times when I was driving I was easing the regulator back and the Polish driver was saying Go! Go! and opening it up again!!!

Did you see Bill Parker's small Prarie?

No it's in Budapest at the moment, but it is returning to Wroclaw I believe later this year and is to be used on the Wroclaw surburban commuter service by the Wolsztyn Experience. They are at present using a Polish Tkt 48 2-8-2 Tank on this run and very interesting it is too.

Wow that's a great vid Ralph and I see what u mean about the air pump exhaust, for a little engine it's very noisy! Steam is greta no matter where it is or what it is and you really get a good feel of a journey on that railway. Nice telephoto shot near the end, I though the loco was going to disappear off the track such was the density of the undergrowth!! Thanks for sharing it, Ken
