Hollycombe Quarry Railway

A visit to the Hollycombe Steam Collection in Hampshire for the Railway Weekend special event on Saturday 6th June 2009. This video looks at operations on the 2' gauge Quarry Railway, with resident Large Quarry Hunslet 'Jerry M' of 1895 being joined by Small Quarry Hunslet 'Statfold' from the Statfold Barn Railway, some 110 years the junior of the larger locomotive. There is a variety of passenger & demonstration freight trains in action, including double-heading on the line's steep gradients.

I've fired Palmerston there, not too challenging, but of course Statfold has a much smaller firebox.
