 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm at Chow Fung Wattomers today and this is the old Cheshon bay. We're not going to Cheshon today We're actually going to go to Amishman, but I thought I would start the video here Just have a look at this old Cheshon bay. So I remember in the days of the A-Stock trains Used to get four car A-Stock trains used to depart here for Cheshon In fact, there's a train just coming off the Cheshon branch when the S-Stock trains came along They there was no four car version so they began to run through trains to Cheshon as well as Amishman. Well Cheshon's loss was Amishman's gain because Amishman Basically lost its four trains an hour to London what four tube trains an hour and two children trains So now it has two children trains and too much port and line trains I do think over the With the trains to and from Cheshon I wish they would be fast and then the semi fast could be for Amishman It's just better anyway Because if you're here, it's about an hour in central London. I said though, we're not we're not going to Cheshon Nor are we going to central London. We're just going one stop to Amishman The reason we're going to go to Amishman is to have a look at this display of the Met number one Steam locomotive which they built. It's a narrow gauge. Well, it's all narrow gauge track It's a scaled down version of Met number one which I have seen pass through here in the past on various steam on the Met events along with various other steam engines So what I'm going to do now, I'm going to go over the other side and wait for my train to Amishman Baltimore, the furthest track over there is the Cheshon branch which I mentioned on the platform It runs parallel for a way to the metro port of Mainland As you can see it's now getting further and further apart and able to send down into the Cheshon Valley to Cheshon It's the longest distance between Chattanooga and Cheshon between any two London underground stations But I think the Cheshon branch is a video for another day. It's amazing. A bit of a cameo appearance in today's video You can see now it's getting further and further apart When we get to Amishman, the thing we'll see that is quite funny. So yeah, we're losing sight of the Cheshon branch now Cheshon is the furthest west station on the London underground But it's not the furthest west point because the track, the Forail as it's known Does continue beyond Amishman to some sidings. Now those sidings are actually further west of the Cheshon station But if you were to say sit in that seat there, those two seats in front of the train That's the furthest you can go on a passenger if you were to be on one of these trains going down the Cheshon branch So yeah, a little bit of always find that quite an interesting fact So of course this line continues on to Ellesbury and Ellesbury Valley partway And eventually in the future we'll be able to travel up to Milton Keyes So that's definitely something to make a video on. We're now just coming into the suburbs of Amishman Down there, you can obviously see there's a white line road which runs between Chaff and Latimer and Amishman Now as I said, Met No. 1, it's worked up and down here during Steam on the Met I've never actually had Met No. 1 on this section of track I've done Steam on the Met on this section of track, not on Met No. 1 I have had Met No. 1 down the Cheshon branch top and tailing with the prairie tank engine Which was a bit of a fictitional London underground loco It was Metropolitan 175 for the 175th anniversary So I've done Steam down to Cheshon when Met No. 1, which I'm quite proud of In fact it was Met No. 1 that started Steam on the Met back in 1989 And it worked down the Cheshon branch with the panier tank 9466 Now as the siding just coming here, you can see it's not electrified yet When they did Steam on the Met, they were quite often water steam loco's on this siding It was quite good, you could sit in the car park, you could stand on this bridge here I was laying and watering the steam loco So we're just coming into Amersham now, which was the US platform They put a seat on The other thing I want to do, there's a new footbridge here And it's just me, I like to do things that are new It's got lit So my plan is to go over that bridge Pretty knowing it's my luck to put a seat on the platform I think it's alright, yeah They've also put a much bigger multi-storey car park So if you used to stand there and watch the water It wouldn't be quite the same, it's either older And sometimes I'd stand on the top of that and watch the Steam on the Met departing So we're coming into the platform, as long as it was one of these two I'll be happy That's it, I don't actually think I can get into the platform from this direction So it wouldn't really be a problem It's quite unusual actually here, because you've got the footbridge You've got this red footbridge coming up now That's the public footbridge that takes you right over the whole station And there is a connection with the old footbridge Which, when they were refurbishing the old footbridge, they actually had in use So this is the new footbridge I don't actually think, although it's got the steps, they're closed Out of public use, so we won't be able to go up there So let's get off the trains here at Emerson So this is the Fervist West So that's the Fervist West Roundel on the London Underground Network No, it isn't It's the Fervist West Roundel on the Metropolitan Main Line Although Emerson is the Fervist West Station, obviously on this line Chestnut is the Fervist West Station But the sidings which you may just be able to see up there They are the Fervist West Point on the London Underground Network So this is the new footbridge which we can see here So I thought we'll go over that just for fun So there's no, well as I say, the stairs on the other side But I could see, it looked like they were gated off and you couldn't access them So it's purely lift only for the public to use It's even still got an old London Underground shunt signal there Which is quite an unusual feature That sort of red footbridge I mentioned There it is there, so that goes, it's a public footpath I have filmed trains there before last year when I filmed the Railhead Treatment Trains I filmed some of them from on that red footbridge So let's try out this new footbridge So it disappeared at some point in the last year or so, it's not brand new Certainly not as new as the replica steam locomotive which we're going to see So here we go So yeah, I think it's got doors on each side So we'll be going out this side when we get to the top How about the 17 people in this lift? Seemed like a lot of people So here we are on the new bridge So the steam engine we're looking for is at the end of the street up there That's quite a nice, you can see there That's the old footbridge one that wasn't, you know, access for all So it's quite good now, they've got two footbridges And there's a train we came on to Get a bit of view of those sidings Which are the furthest west point on the London Underground network Now there are steps, but we can't use them They're locked and they're quite narrow as well What I'm going to do now then, I'm going to go down that lift Go out the station, walk to the end of Hill Avenue And that is where we're going to go and find this met number one replica There we are, coming to the other end of Hill Avenue Station is just down there now I can just see it and come and find it out This replica met number one Now I did make a video, I have already done a video on this About six weeks a month ago When the train itself had been put there But the display around it wasn't finished, it was all fenced off I just wanted to show it was there But now we're going to see the finished display And that's what I'm quite excited about coming to see So if you look in front of us You can see the carriages It's really convincing looking, like taking pictures I posted some pictures and I was showing them to friends And they were like, that's real isn't it? Have they put met number one on this corner? I said no no, it's not real, it's when I stand next to it you'll see So, here we are, it's got a nice little fence And flowers around it, it looks very good So there's a couple of met number one carriages Or met number one on a couple of met reports and carriages Trons number is 335 And it's the third class carriage And there's a guards compartment on the other end And then we have 353 Which is a first class carriage Interesting when you look It says on it's Chessham locomotive And carriage works First Chessham Boy Scouts So there's a project by the local Scouts To build this whole replica train It's nice, so it's got a little works plate And then of course the most exciting thing Metroparton number one itself Looks great isn't it? Actually it's really nice that we have this display here In Amisham town centre You know, you're going to drive fast And you'll be like, oh that's interesting And then if you look at the end, there's like A replica level crossing So when you cross like Not there were very many level crossings If any on the underground But still, it's a nice touch So I'm not going to, you know You look, yeah, very good I think there is a display board here Telling you a bit about it And there's also a picture of met number one At Amisham station I wonder if, now If met number one ever comes to Amisham again Be quite literally a long shot Probably with a new footbridge, you wouldn't get it Could you get the two met number one and this one together Perhaps one of the met number ones ever on a lorry Going from say, Quainton somewhere They should bring the lorry this way Just so we can see the two met number ones together That'd be quite fun It just, it looked really nice though I wish every town had like, well not every town I'd make my job harder, I'd have to go and make a video But I wish more towns had things like this Like, when I go to Europe especially You often find plimps steam locos Especially in Hungary, Czech Republic Slovakia, former Yugoslavia You'll often find the plimps steam locos But you don't so much find them in western Europe You might find a few in Germany Never seen any in France But I think it's really nice to see Don't know if it's all made out of wood I hope it, you know I'm sure if it's looked after It will continue to look nice I really hope it doesn't get vandalised I'd like to think we don't have those short people in this town But, you know, that is my Only concern That people could vandalise it But then, hopefully they won't I can't see much house in Amsterdam that's been vandalised So, I think, you know, like I said It looks fantastic They even got some coal in there So, yeah, you can't actually sit in the carriage It looks like it's on a two foot gauge track I should have brought a tape measure with me Shouldn't I? And measured The track, I'll tell you what I'll do I'll measure it in my own feet So I'm on the level crossing section So, I'm pretty sure to me It might be two foot six, actually The gauge, I know the gauge for you Doesn't matter to most people They're just pleased to see, you know, a nice display Let's have a look how wide is this track Okay, I'm going to measure it in my own feet Which, approximately, has more than two feet I would say that's two foot six Two, um, three foot But not entirely sure Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video Of this fantastic new display here In Amisham Town Centre Thank you very much for watching If you'd like to come and see it As I showed, it's very, very easy You just come on the train to Amisham And you just walk up Hill Avenue And here it is So, thank you very much for watching Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment And from replica number one here in Amisham Goodbye
