  • @DADRENO No they don't use it anymore unless they need to e.g Long rake of trucks

  • @robertgift The lost heat doesnt pre-heat the boiler but stops it from freezing

  • Wonderful video!

    Anyone notice the white arrow -> formed by snow flakes at :08?

    Efficient use of weight having the water tank over the drive wheels.

    Does lost boiler heat prewarm the water? (The warmer the incoming water, the less energey used to heat it.)

    Thank you.

  • @cprich22 The railway cannot extend as at both ends we have housing estates and main roads. We would if we could but we are limited by funds too

  • this railway needs to be made bigger, if its the oldest in the world it should also get a much longer run not just 6 miles at least 20 miles

  • no sorry

  • Magic!!

  • great with the snow 55555

  • Well capured in difficult weather, resulting in a very atmospheric record of winter steam..thanks 5*

  • no sorry
