 Hello, thank you for joining me. We've arrived at our second miniature railway on my challenge to visit every miniature railway in Britain And we're currently on an old track bed, and if it looks familiar That's because we are back at Rudyard Lake where we I made the video talking about this Challenge that I was going to set myself on so here we are. We're back at Rudyard Lake. They're running steam today and the loco is Just watch it run around its train So as the loco goes and runs around the train, I'm just going to have a look up here I was pointing that out to you, that loco there, that comes from the Isle of Mull railway Now I'll explain that. What happened was there was a miniature railway on the Isle of Mull Now I did say part of the catalyst for this Challenge and this series was because some miniature railways are closed and the Isle of Mull is another one I never made it to and I'm again quite disappointed because I always wanted to go there But I didn't make it so What happened was people who set this railway up Sold it and the people owned the Isle of Mull railway because they were evicted from the site bought the railway is how I believe it happened So this railway was in situ they arrive all of their stops. There's loads of track Stacked up and the idea is at some point they may Extend down the track bed that way towards Leek. So Leek may have two railway stations one they churn it Valley Railway and The Leek and Rudyard Railway. So if you look here these carriages Which appears to be out of use at the moment. See how it says the Mull and West Highland narrow gauge railway company So that is the reason why they've got so many coaches at the moment Because they've all come from the Mull and West Highland Railway So what I think we'll do now is we'll walk back that way so Another thing that we will do with this series should a miniature railway change significantly or extend Then I'd have to visit it again. So when this railway extends to Leek, I'll be back here making another video So this track around the shed would effectively become the new main line What I'm gonna do now. I'm just gonna walk up here We can have a look at the loco and then and get on the train and I may not film all of this one because it's quite a long rip but It's over a mile up the lake and back So that's just one direction. It's over a mile. So I shall film Some of it film the best bit certainly film the run-round at Hunt House wood and Then we'll come back here And maybe when the train departs on the next departure We'll walk up the track a little bit and we can watch that go by We're just coming along The loco. It's just up here So code number eight and By the way, that's the rodeo late railways webcam So if you have a look on YouTube right now anyone watching that will see me making this video So have a look on YouTube and you'll see the rodeo late railways webcam I've got a little level crossing here because when you drive into the car park you drive up that slope Go out that slope so the gates come down when trains So that's looking up the railway that way which we'll do in a minute Looking towards the station. This is also the site of the original Bradiard station when this was part of the League to Macklesfield railway what we'll do we'll cover that properly in the future to a whole series on Fairly soon as the poster shows on the 21st 22nd September. I've not come to that I'm a little walk along here Coming down is like a little hidden carrier here and you get quite a nice view over the engine shed Can't quite see it properly, but Over there is my larder because as I said this railway you can get to the public transport But on a Saturday and it was possible, but I just thought be easier to come in my larder I could have walked from link, but it's quite hot today. So I Didn't so I'm gonna do now. I'm gonna go get on the train and Continue the video from there. I've just enjoyed the ride along the non lakeside section of the railway So from here the rest to the rest of the line to Hummhouse wood the train runs beside the lake so There's the station If you have a look out there, you can see the small waiting shelter and the dam and the lake is literally Quite nice not bad accommodation from it's a railway we're inside so if it was raining we'd be you know kept fairly dry So it's really an all-weather attraction This railway I have come here on a rainy day and it is really something quite nice about just going along by the Along the track bed by the lake when it's raining and you know, it's just yes lovely places So what happened now? I think the train's about to go So I'll film the next bit of the journey through the cutting in the beside the lake One of the X Mullum West Highland Railway. We're in just had an open side or open door one side So we nearly was past the lake now. We're just running on an embankment past fields We'll be back at Rudyard station in a minute So when we get there, I'm gonna go for a walk up the track bed get a couple of shots of this local Which is one of the X Mullum West Highland Railways and the other one from the X Mullum Steam Railway So let's see where we go next down the Rudyard Lake Railway We went out on X Mull Railway built King Arthur and we came back with X Mullum West Highland Railway Victoria so it's been a great trip. I'm now just sitting on the edge of the cutting and I'm gonna watch the last couple of trains Pass by on their way back to Rudyard. So they're both currently at that end of the line So I thought I'll end the video the video were closed with two shots of the trains returning back to Rudyard So I hope you enjoyed watching this trip as much as I did visiting Rudyard Lake Railway And like I said if you're in the leak area, then do come and visit and you can get here by Public transports. There is a bus and you or you could walk along the railway from leak Which is quite a pleasant stretch of track. So Okay, so let's just watch the train go and Yeah, thank you very much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it, but do come visit the Rudyard Lake Railway
