 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm at Beckinscott model village today We've come here to do the miniature railway Britain one year on updates. So here is the Beckinscott light railway and Over there is Beckinscott model village. So what we're gonna do we're gonna go and have a ride We have already featured it here. It's had its official miniature railway Britain episode We're gonna do it's gonna have a ride and I'm gonna talk a bit about what's happened during the first year Have a look at their tram. I really like that vehicle So we go up here I can already hear the diesel locomotive waiting. So we jump on the train We'll go for a ride around so this video isn't so much to show you the railway although and like I said We'll have a look at the link on screen now That video shows you the railway when I came here last September So I'm gonna go for a ride and then afterwards we'll go for a walk around the village So I'll show you what has changed since I last came here And jump on the train the the signals down and We can go I've just boarded the train on the Beckinscott light railway. So it was a year ago. I came up with this project I said I'm gonna visit every miniature railway in the British Isles now. I'm vicious there being about 200 Every list you look at doesn't seem to have all of them So I had to compile my own list and I've got about 240 odd miniature railways to visit so I've realized I've taken on a much much much bigger task than I ever thought but you know I've not set a time limit. So I'm gonna carry on. I will get to all those railways unless they close Because unfortunately one or two have but then there's a since I came up project. There's been a few new ones open So, you know, I will keep keep going try every weekend to get to a miniature railway and I Haven't visited as many as I perhaps thought I would have because of The one big thing that's dominated everyone's lives recently is the whole coronavirus pandemic now anyone watching You know, if you have lost someone due to coronavirus my thoughts go out to you, you know, I can only imagine You know, it's been a real awful time but you know as things get better Attractions are open we can come to these railways again and You know really start to enjoy them. So Beckinscot's reopened You'd have seen some of the other pre-covid ones. I've been to such as Vanstone Park Where else we've been we went to highly we went to Hanforth. So, you know, things are really getting back to normal and It's great. We can enjoy miniature railways again. So come here today to Beckinscot. It's one of my favorite I think this as I said, we have already been here. It's had its official episode. I think it was number five and What I'll do when we've had our train ride though I'll go for a little walk around a bit because the great thing about Beckinscot is the village itself It's always changing. There's always new buildings. So I'll take you for a walk around the village I'll show you what's changed since we last visited last September and You know because it develops it alters It's always something new every time you come to Beckinscot. It's always a bit different So if you come, you know, two or three times a year your visit will never ever be the same Let's show you this bit here where we started the Beckinscot thing I love that path there because that is an old railway. The railway used to run along there And then they that bit of track closed and they extended it So we're just going through the crossovers and they can't there you go. You can see it behind me back through the woods For a railway that's not on a huge site This has to be one of the most interesting and exciting miniature railways, you know, I've ever been to that That's what I love so much about miniature railways. They're all different Some are a circuit around the park or through woodlands Others are a rather complex track layout like this and you never quite know where you're gonna go next Some of them like this ones have seven or four signals and color lights to control the ride, which is exciting And sometimes they run along by little streams like this one here There's the carriage shed. This is what I love these these X Great Western mainline color lights. They've got there's another one here Through what was the original railway station Station was here in this area and it was extended around the corner So what we're gonna do as soon as we get that station I'm gonna go off into Beckinscott We're gonna have a wander around the vision not gonna show you everything So I have done the whole village over a series of videos way before I came up with a miniature railway idea But I'm just gonna, you know, let you see what's changed. So here we are. We're now back at the station So it's time for me to go off into Beckinscott model village I've had a really enjoyable trip on the Beckinscott light railway and there's their tram I do really like that vehicle We're gonna go and have a wander around the village now Like I said, I want to just show you a few things have changed since our last visit So this is Beckinscott was always been one of my favorite places. So my kind of idea is that every you know At least once a year, I'll come here take you around the village and just show you what's changed really since our last visit I remember on our last visit just over there. They built a little tin mine. So we had a look on that That's in the miniature railway Britain video. So what we're doing now, we're just gonna have a bit of a wander around see what's changed and You know show the village you just starting to rain. I've always liked Beckinscott when it's raining. I don't know It just has a more of a sort of a Magical kind of atmosphere and so here we have the the brush factory now This was new when we last came but I believe a few more There's been a few more additions. So I don't think that building there was there Take you right down here So yeah, this is the brush factory around here now before the bus factory There was a Jerry builders. They never finished a building. It was demolished to build a bus factory But a Jerry build as well. They're back and they're building a new house wherever over finish it I don't know but it's quite like it'd be nice house. It is finished I'd like to say that it's right by the railway line and it's got a river behind it Train do anytime soon, but no doubt. We shall see some so yeah, that would be a really nice house It's never finished. I just hope it's some all-alright and Being built by a Jerry builders. They've got a bit of a reputation. There's that train up in here. There we go Look, it's a good strain passing Jerry builders. So yeah, I'd love to live in that house if they ever finish it if I could shrink down that is So this is Beckinscott town I'd started a whole series of videos here where I showed you pretty much everything There wants to see here in much more detail. So today. We're really just walking through having a little look at the trains Here comes Brighton. This was the first locomotive built for Beckinscott built in 1929 or when I say might not be the first It's the oldest existing was what I meant to say Let's go up here Beckinscott Minster Always enjoyed, you know the hearing the singing every time I go past there the choir of Beckinscott Minster never fails to sing There's another train just passing us So we're heading now for Beckinscott new town because as the name suggests it's a new town and When I did a video dedicated to Beckinscott new town have a little ink on the screen now It was brand new since then a few more new things have been added. So we're going to go and have a look at them Passing the harbour at South for fishing village. So we go through here and there is the Beckinscott new town And some road tube station in Beckinscott's on the tube map now, which I think is a nice thing here Have a look here is The Cliff Railway now the Cliff Railway would have been here, but the station wasn't finished Now it is a water power Cliff Railway So like the Cliff Railway at Linton and Limbeth and I've not been there But there's one at the center of alternative technology near my hunt left in Wales power by water So you can hear the little water trickling. So what happened when the carriage at the top the tank below it fills up It will come down and it will bring the other one back up with it So we'll just hang around see how long it takes for that to happen So you've seen the little passengers would have boarded through the side door there and They'd have taken their trip up to the top of the hill while we wait for that to happen I will just show you I've shown you some of this before but I'll show you again They've got the town hall now. That is a model of the town hall in France I believe the town is called Lange and it's twin of a Beckinsfield in real life There we go look, so we should see all the water come out I don't know how well we can see that but the water is coming out and it will flow off down into the lake somewhere church bells are ringing and The other thing I want to show you come down here We now have a ruined gatehouse Remains of a gatehouse to Beckinsquat Newtown and then you have the church. There's the church Above us now. Let's follow Here because there's a what I think is one of the coolest new buildings they've added since we last visited And it is just around the corner just here. This is splashing great Western Rail motor He's just arriving at splashing station And can you just see that over there there goes the splashing tram Just there He's gonna go along the top of the of the cliffs along by the lake. Where is he? There you go there passing the caravans So I've come to show you why I really really like this new building Here we have some 1920s art deco. This is a model of high and over in Amisham So the real house is in Amisham quite a lot of the buildings here are built on on real houses and real buildings Around Great Britain were actually around the world because the bridge over there is a model of Sydney Harbour Bridge But this is high and over so I said the real one is in Amisham Apparently in the war the real one had to be covered up because it looked like a giant direction sign pointing one way to London One way to Birmingham and the other way to Plymouth So yeah, there's that sign over What I'm gonna do now Take you up up to the viewing tower and we shall finish the video from up there So we arrive up here, and we get a really really nice view Over the whole of Beckinscott. So I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for watching We will be going to more miniature railways. We will be coming back here.
