Video and pictures from the Isle Of Wight steam railway. The railway runs around 5 miles from its base in Havenstreet, to one end Wootton, to the mainline junction of Smallbrook.
The railway holds a big collection of victorian rollingstock, and some original Island locos like W24 Calbourne and W8 Freshwater.
The railway also has a number of Austerity class locos,, Royal Engineer, and Waggoner, and also recently arrived Juno.

@bluebellModelrailway yeah I work there i just know that footplate crew normally run with lamps even tho the island always ran with discs, its something that crew like to do to wind me and my mate up.

@BigItalianTony Thanks for the comment, depending on what service they are using, they will either run discs, lamps or roster numbers...
