  • brilliant filming!

  • @iantrack Thanks, you've made me blush.

  • This is great news to see Lyd finaly in action. Well do to all who have made this milestone achievable!

    I am guessing you have not finished work on her yet, as I see the front 'cow-catcher' is not on. Are you still planning to do so?

    Again, a fantastic video of a fantastic replica historic engine.. Will have plan a visit to see here in action myself soon.

  • @ukArtiest Rest assured the front cow catcher will return.

  • Such a fantastic looking and sounding machine. Fantastic! I have one question though. Is it Coal or Oil fired????

  • @worldofwillow It is currently oil fired although it has been built so that it can easily be used with coal too.

  • Will Lyd and coach 15 ever be put on long term loan to Lynton & Barnstaple?

  • @Mikal2475 Yeah, hopefully! I've read that Lew could also be in Argentina. I think that once Lyn is completed & Yeo is under construction, the L&B should send a group to Brazil & Argentina & do a thorough search for Lew, then have money to restore Lew if Lew's found. I think that if Lew's first train on the new L&B (if found) should be a doubleheader with the new Yeo. In 1935, the last L&B train was pulled by Yeo & Lew.

  • Id love to see Lyd and Russell head a train! now that would be quite something!!!

    Im a fan of all three railways so i feel it would be a great thing to see new build LYD next to newly restored origional WHR RUSSELL (once restoration is complete). I can but dream : - )

  • Great for this engine to be finished. Still hope Lew is somewhere in the Brazililan rainforest though!!!

  • How do you film Lyd running down the line like that?!?!? Also, I think Lyd might be at Woody Bay for the replica Lyn's steam up.

  • Fantastic! Who would have thought they would ever see an L&B engine run again? Looking forward to seeing her finished in SOUTHERN green at Woody Bay sometime (next year perhaps?), and with the front cowcatcher fitted! Hope to see her in September though................

  • I personally think she looks very good without her cow-catcher - blends in with the other engines in the area a bit more.

  • Some interesting permissive block working! 5*!
