 Hello thing for joining me. So miniature railway Britain has begun and today. We've just arrived at our first miniature railway and I found the next best thing in the car park to park next to So today we've come to the Foxfield miniature railway another Foxfield is probably more famous For the standard gauge light rail which runs off in that direction over there down to Foxfield colliery So I thought as soon as I'm here. I'll have a go on it's diesel day today But then I always tend to get their steam engine so I've not actually have one of the diesel So that for me is isn't a bad thing now miniature Starts over there runs up the car park Around the trees and back So it's what's known as a balloon miniature railway because it's like a piece of string with a balloon on the end So let's go over and have a look and hopefully we shall have a ride And then after that we'll do the standard gauge line. So although I said it's primarily about miniature rail If there's anything else at the site, then we will do that as well to show what else you can do During your day at a miniature railway. So it's not just about going to a miniature rail It's about going out and You know seeing what else there is to see so Because it's a gap in between trains So the track goes off up the hill over there Look at the nice little waiting So what I'm going to do now. I'm going to go and find out Get a ride on it and I shall film the ride from the train This is the waiting room and where you're by a ticket now I think because it's quite a gap in between trains on the main box of rail There's no one about so let's have a quick look in here and then I'll have to Go find someone to give me a ride But one thing I've noticed before it's worth pointing out. There's this poster here. It says Britain's great little railways So it's got obviously all the railways we intend to do and there are other Railways, you know that I will do it's some slightly out of date to look there There's Western Supermere Nature Railway, which unfortunately has closed. It's my old railway back in Scott So I won't go through all them now, but they do they produce little leaflet, which is really good So tells you these miniature railways, so you'll if you come to any of these ones You probably will find it's leaflets and do pick it up There's a few books or so and stuff come out here. This is This how they get their visiting locos on and off through this So this is the station So I will go and find someone In the meantime probably I will go over And have a look We'll do it now actually we'll go and have a look over there at some of the industrial locos there are to be seen So as we walk away from the miniature railway because there appears to be no one there at the moment We'll come back. It says it's open. So we will have a ride Let's go and have a look At the standard gauge rolling stock. There's quite a lot to be seen here I've got possibly one of the largest collections of X industrial equipment as it's an industrial line It's some very tight curves and sharp graded. So you're not going to see any of the Pacific's or anything like that here It really is all it's all locos And steam over here we have been here before on Henry's adventures when the IFA club had a rally Here we came here and we had loads of tribunts and larders today. It's just my larder Built at the Gorton Foundry By the peacock in 1879. So built in Manchester. That's really I'd love to have a trip behind that Obviously won't do today, but perhaps I'll come back and have a gala on and then this one I think is Fascinating this little train tank locomotive. So I'm gonna go and have a look round the rest of the place So we just saw the train arrive with a diesel locomotive Which will have a ride on later I just thought we'll come into the museum shed because I think this is quite a nice little shed They've gotten you can see some of their locos. They're not using rather than just being shut away in the shed No one can see you can come in shed and have a look. So we've got a packet tank here. I'm bridge number one Face on it Another packet those you don't know that's a works number That's number. Oh, sorry the year the loco was built. So when they Would have been building the locos in the works then the next one would have been to zero eight two And behind me here. These are the north Staffordshire railway or the knotty as it was known I cannot see north stuff as you wrote on me. These are their heritage carriages, which I'd love to have a go in one day What'd be really good is if It's like I hear north stafford number two could be restored to steam imagine that great And then coming on with packets we have another packet this one's older 1903 so obviously it's got a lot of works number 933 So what else we got? Got cursed you it took her stupid locos a steam on this side must pay and the curse to diesel on this side Quite old diesel but 1929. So this is Foxfield railways Museum shit. So what I'm gonna do now. I'm gonna go and see get a ride on the major railway, and then I'm gonna come back and Hopefully we can go for a ride or we will go for a ride on the standard gauge line
