 approaching. Please stand back. Well, I've just had a very enjoyable trip behind the Black Five on the East Hearts Miniature Railway. In fact, I think it's about to come back past us again. So we'll see that now. I was just chatting to the very friendly volunteers. They've given me permission to have a wander around the site. So I'm going to show you some more of the site. We're going to go and have a look at some of the locos and the sheds and the zoomer logs. Here we are. The Black Five is coming now. So let's just see that pass and then we'll go and explore a bit further. So as the Black Five passes, let's go for a walk around the site. So if we walk through this platform here, there's a couple that something I want to show you. They've got a few of these. They've got these lovely carriages. They're scaled down standard gauge carriages. So you sit on top of them, but they're effectively a model of a carriage. And so when there's a train with no passengers on, it looks a really nice site. Now if we walk up here to the end of the platform, you can see the signal box which I mentioned. So I'm going to show you inside there. So they said we could have a look. So we go through here into the signal box. There's that the diesel is just about to depart. Let's get a signal ones eye view of the diesel departing. So this is how the signal one see the train and now show you the lever frame. There she goes. So here we have the lever frame which sets the signals and the points for the railway. This is the old Hyde Park Corner lever frame. So it once controlled trains on the Piccadilly line. Now here it is in Hertfordshire controlling the miniature trains. It's really nice to see they found the use for it once it been redundant in its commercial life. You can see they've got various signaling diagrams. They've also got a modern one computer diagram which is showing so the red section is where there's a train. The white section is where the train would be. So the red section should disappear and the white section should show red as the train goes round. So that's on the inner loop. There's will also be here. There we are. See now it's become red and this section here should lose its red once the end of the train. There we are has now cleared it. So that's how they know where the trains are from what they can't see from the signal box. So there is another train. Here's a train station. It must be the Black Five. So let's now go out here for compared to some of the miniature rails I've been to I must say this one has some of the most attractive gardens around the railway. It may not be a huge sight but they really are you know very pleasant gardens and one of my favourite sections of garden is this bridge here how they've got a pond with a bridge crossing it. So this is on the inner loop that was built in 1980. Is that the Black Five? You can't really see it because of the fence but it's just pulling into the station about to take another load of passengers so there we are someone's out and all aboard. So the passengers are aboard in a minute they'll be passing over this bridge but before they do that let's just have a little look at some more of the gardens. They've got this stream coming all the way down here into the pond. They've also got like a siding there and it looks like it's a line kind of going to an old mine. The diesel train is yeah just going around the outer loop so that won't come over the bridge it will go around the outer loop. So if we go up onto the where shall we go let's go let's go up onto the hill and we can perhaps see it from above. Hello. Waving at the volunteer so very friendly very friendly bunch here so let's see if we can see that diesel. So they've got this hill right up here from up here get great view so the bridge is down there we're about to see the diesel come along and into Amwell Rise Tunnel. So just behind these trees here there's also some more loco so I'm going to show you some of the other locos when we're finished up here so there we go there goes the diesel into Amwell Rise Tunnel. Now if we go how do we go back down here I'll show you there's some couple of other steam locos about to go through down this path but yeah really really I'm very impressed with the gardens they have here I think they're really attractive gardens they make a really nice backdrop to the railway. So that's Amwell Rise Tunnel that's where we just saw the train going into. Now if we go up here there's another loco I wanted to show you this is called I believe this is the Tinkerbell I think they're really nice they're very compact little steam locos for minutes of railways and there's also another one of similar carriage but it's one in LMS colours. Now we're on the other side of the bridge so what I'm thinking is if we get round there in time we can see the Black Five across the bridge and then we'll go over to where there's some more locos we can see so I'm just going to cross the track I've checked nothing is coming and we're almost about to see the Black Five across the bridge the Black Five is just behind the trees here we go just coming now so there's one more place to show you and that is where the other locos are or diesel seems to be going on to shed it's backing up with no passengers I love how they've got an announcement saying stand back from the platform edge when there's a train coming I think that's a really nice you know addition to you know the whole railway atmosphere I think that Black Five is about to come steaming past let's just see that go by again there we go and then the diesels coming forward oh it's going into the into the bay platform so I think what they do when they're busier they run two trains so now they're not so busy the passenger train is the steam train and then when they're busier they'll run that and they've got two trains which is a fairly common practice at most miniature railways oh and it's just to make it even more exciting there's another steam train coming off shed a little 1500 class just waiting with some more carriages the Great Western 15 sorry 1400 class so let's just see there we go we're going to have to go and have a ride with that I think next so just one more place I would like to show you and that is where the turntable is where there's a couple more locos of no another thing while I'm up this end of the railway oh and there's our friend the Black Five again one thing I want to show you just let you see the Black Five go fast but I don't think it doesn't matter how many times I see a Black Five go past I always you know get excited there are plans to extend the railway out into those woodlands out there so the railways currently in negotiation so watch this space and as I said if a miniature rail extends it means I get to feature it again so we will be back here at some point in the future so here is one of the main motive power depots we've got two diesel locos here I'll show you this one first the HG Harrison so this one you do see these locos at various miniature railways there's been a few others I've been and had them now talking of things I've seen before this is quite um exciting this loco here it's called Lady Annwell now if you think from watching my videos you've seen something like this before you're right you have but bigger when we went to Rice at Lido we saw the loco that this is a replica of this is a miniature loco which is a replica of a miniature rail loco this one's called Lady Annwell it's a replica of Lady of Lakes at Rice at Lido so have a look out for the Rice at Lido video because that was another great miniature railway which we visited I'm now going to walk back to the station I'm going to try and get a ride on that 1400 class and um I'll probably get a few other shots from around the railway I've had a great afternoon here at the east hearts miniature railway it's a really pleasant little line I've had two steam locos and a diesel for haulage so if you ever are in this area I do recommend coming to visit them and all their profits go to charity so it's a really pleasant railway it's in a garden centre so you can come and buy some flowers for your garden have a ride on the train oh and there goes our favourite black five again departing so you know do come and visit them have a ride and thank you very much for watching and thank you to everyone here at the east hearts miniature railway for a brilliant afternoon and please do feel free to like subscribe comment and come and visit the east hearts miniature railway thanks very much for watching and goodbye
