 Hello, thank you for joining me that is a signal to indicate a junction when it lights up why it means a train can turn left We're at a junction station. The station rat is her screen I've never been here before the main line going south goes to East Grinstead and the Bloober Railway We're not going there. We're gonna go down the upfield line Which I have only ever before today done one bit of the bit where the Spa Valley Railway joins We're not going to Spa Valley Railway either. We're going to a lesser known railway Now today is technically a episode of miniature railway Britain But the railway we're going to whilst we will ride a miniature railway is probably more well known for its narrow gauge Row at the place we're going to is Tinker's Park and the Great Bush Railway So Tinker's Park is a place. I always want to go to have a steam rally there. They sometimes have bus rallies today there's a then I think it's classic cars model railways and The narrow gauge and miniature railways of Ruddick's as his narrow gauge railway Qualifies to be included in the miniature rail Britain series. I'm waiting here for the upfield train They told everyone to change at Oxford, but I wanted to tick off this station So I deliberately changed here at her screen So as I say, we can't really see the junction and it's still red But when our train arrives that will light up so it'd be a diesel train because the upfield branch is still Non-electrified. So I'm looking forward to doing a nice bit of winning track down to upfield Sparvo Railways and there's a class 33 at that local for haulage a moment ago We just went past class 31 with a few carriages. That's nice to out in this backwater of the railways see some Traditional trains. We're gonna continue down. I haven't quite decided what I'm doing to get to Tinker's Park There's a bus now the bus starts upfield bus station Stops a buckster. That was my plan. We're about seven or eight minutes late So it depends all we're gonna make the bus. So I've my family to get off a buckster tick off Station get the bus from now. I think I might stay on give them the weather as you can see Stay on to Uckfield And then catch the bus then at least I'll get me to the end of the line. Anyway, there's a class 33 I've made numerous videos on the Sparvo Railway in the past You can actually see where the Sparvo Rail track goes beyond here. It was good when I came here earlier this year They were running a bumper along here. So This line which is so well known for the bumpers ends there, but at least I've seen a bumper In action on the upfield line. If you want to see that, have a look at the link on screen now Anyway, I'm gonna continue enjoying this journey either to Buckstead or Uckfield So I've made it to Uckfield and it's raining ended line. Nice old single box. This is the rather modern station building Our train is about to now return to Oxted now. This isn't the original station The line used to continue down to Lewis. This was supposed to be a video on them I mean it's a railway and it will be I promise, but it's turning into a bit of video on the upfield line Because while we're here, we might as well have a look. So there's our train that's brought us here class 1-7-1 There's the old signal box Which doesn't look like it's in use. I thought at one point it was a taxi office but it looks empty So the railway would have continued across here and the old upfield station would have been there where it appears The car park is and look the pub is called the station I wonder if we can get across the road just to set foot on the old station side and see If there is anything to be seen now, I've got to find the bus station. That's upfield town centre Yeah, so Not a lot, but the line would have continued down there Beyond the end of that car park down to Lewis. So this this is upfield and Like I say, it's nice to see what survives. I've got to go and find the bus now. Get out this rain Check it is going on. Back to the station. It's still raining, but not quite as hard as it was I'm probably not going to stay up here for the ride, but I'm on top of the bus and It's a station. I'm not going to count this station having visitors because I haven't actually gone on to the platform I just thought while it's not raining out to come up here and as if on cue Train coming So if anyone's coming to a particular park you could quite easily make this connection, but my train was late So now you can see the bus I've travelled here on. I think it's gone to the bus stop Which is quite literally in the middle of the field with a few cars parked The event we're going to is just in there. So there's a little hut here Well, I think I need to go in. So I'm going to go inside and enjoy an afternoon in the rain I've paid my pounds to get in. I'm going to have a fun afternoon here in the rain. Look, there's quite a few buses Morris Travellers Narrow-gauge train. Like I say, there's also a model road tradition then, so at least that will be Perhaps indoors. Just going to have a look at this station. This is obviously one end of the railway line Well, this is the Great Busch Railway One of the carriages there There's a diesel engine. Look, we'll see this go past. This is what's going to take us Inside the train and let's actually quickly have a look at the local other end And now I'm going to try and get under some sort of shelter before I get any wetter This local train is called Drusilla. So it looks like the other one's going to take us the other way So hopefully I'll try and get both of those on the train. This is the upper station I think we're going. We're going to go down to the lower station. We're going to the lower station It's not much drier in here, although we are under cover Five buss, that's the one we were on This will give us... I'll see you decide. I've not been here before Maybe a thrash though. We'll have a ride on that. I think it might be a C-Value But for focusing on I think the classic cars, I think tomorrow there is a bus rally on I'm going to another end tomorrow, that's why tomorrow is actually the better day There's a very smoky steaming stop slowing down here There's a track changing as well. The miniature L.A. is quite short. We'll have a ride We'll get run past that steam locomotive See what's gone green? I don't know how there's a parcel here, but I've just got a diesel locomotive there It's got a very rustic feel to it I really like the locomotive in the shed Just there It's a great locomotive that's been mentioned later It came from the old kilns like that one, which I have also been to a few years ago I don't think I made a video of that First half weekend of now We're going to another red here Another red tickle I've never been here before. It really is a bit of a surprise to me to see what turns up It turns up The steam locomotive is great We've got a green now, the steam locomotive is round there I've just seen a shed, there's two of them on the railways I will be glad to get out of there As I said, as fun as this ride is, I'm really enjoying it in the rain There's not a lot of protection for the weather Maybe later on we'll be able to watch the steam engine coming off this hill I just think it'll make quite a display, especially in this weather A few bits of an aeroplane, a bit there And there's another tracksuit just there About the last one I can just see We really are dropping quite a gradient I mean, I've seen some steam railways I was in Switzerland last week and I saw steam railways I was obviously steeping this and had a rack of opinion This is quite steep I descend to where we're going now Brushing past the trees, I've just got a walk in my face There's another... That's a plowing engine You can see the big white full window A shed over there with the model railway And there's the top of the bus We could have done with that on today's bus With this weather We're just crossing a level spot There's flags Nice miniature truck bench there You must not be all crossing the line I thought we might be coming to here, but we're down here I think it's kind of a huge shape We basically just dropped down Around the side Things aren't going to get any stranger It's a tram An all-truth-of-the-gay truck We're going to have a look at that Is that pasta? Quite nice vehicle here There's just four locals out Three getaways We're all going to be winning locals So we've got to try and get them in I've now done the great push Like that way, winning truck for me It's a winning situation I think that local's going to work Looks like a motel rail Great little trip I think now I need to go and get in the drive Now we're going to go to these locals for haulage Another truck bench up there We'll get right on that later My plan is to clear the winners We'll do the minute to rail That's kind of what we're coming for We'll have a general look around the site I'm not sure how far we're going to go But we're going off down the hill I've had very few Tracks and engines for haulage But this one This is going to be good But if we're going to go back up the hill It's going to be really good Behind this burrow steam engine Around the site There's another steam engine there Might have a ride behind that one later We're going to go and walk up to the miniature railway Now To get there, of course, we have to cross the narrow gauge Now here is The narrow gauge See the Orestine And copper steamboat What we're here, let's go and have a look at the lower station You can see the steamboat Then a train should arrive Which then the Orestine and copper Will work Back up to the other end of the line And then we'll go and do the miniature railway So we get to here This is Lower station where we were You can see the Steam locomotive This Orestine and copper locomotive Written behind a few of these in the past They had one at Leighton buzzard railway Over in Bedfordshire And I had another one At the railway When I was over there with rail-trail tours We had a charter And we had a steam locomotive They're quite numerous You do find them all over the place Pretty much anywhere from Harris to Sussex And now that there's a man Standing at the crossing Guarding it because there's a train coming So this is the narrow gauge This is the goods train So we're about to get a steam haul freight Out of here And then after that, as promised, I will go And do the miniature railway So I'll now add a ride on the miniature railway The narrow gauge railway And traction engines And buses So it really is a great place for lots of different rides The miniature railway is quite short But you know, it's complimented Nicely by the Narrow gauge railway And everything else which is on There's also the model rail exhibition I'm not going to feature too much on the model rail exhibition Because I don't tend to cover Model rail exhibitions on my channel But we'll go and have a look and we'll have a look at some There's no doubt there'll be some quite Interesting layouts there to see Just walking along here The Batley you've got Like the catering and everything So you can go and get a cup of tea Except for this place it's not open all the time So if you're thinking of going You really do need to look at their Open days to check when they're running They only have a few open days a year Partly adds to the charm Of the place But it's definitely worth coming and as I've shown you can quite easily Get here by train. This is the middle station Which they seem to be called Upper and Lower, doesn't seem to have a name And there's only a platform on that side This is where the trains pass You can see there's a semaphore signal there And then they've got colour light signals Going down there. One thing I do want to go and have A look at. I'm very intrigued by it Is this tram which we Are pointed out from The train earlier on I've got to go and have a look at that Because that is It's a bit of a debatable I've done this whole thing before What is miniature, what is narrow gauge Etc. I was done a few years ago If you want to see that video Look at the link on screen now If you look at this It's a great little tram And there's no two ways about it It's definitely, definitely a miniature So I suppose The way I'm going to describe This is It is a miniature railway But miniature could be And it's to say if you've got a flying Scotsman built, or a Dutchy Specific, or even a Class 47 And built a scaled down model That's sat on two foot gauge track Then technically it would be a miniature It's very unusual This is where it crosses over like you get 18 inch 18 inch can sometimes be miniature And if you think of, say, Scarborough Miniature Railway, no that's 21 inch That's pretty not the best But the example I'm trying To make is that with 21 inches of Scarborough Miniature Railway It's definitely a miniature railway But they have also got narrow gauge trains But 18 inch, most 18 inch railways have come across Narrow gauge So I suppose it's miniature on narrow gauge track But it's always a bit of a blurry one Romney Harvind Interest Is that miniature, is it's narrow gauge Fantastic little tram I'm not sure how it's powered But it looks like someone has built it As a miniature I don't know how easy it would be to get inside So if anyone knows any more about this Please do comment down below I'm really intrigued by this tram I'm going to go inside Here, and have a look At the model railways Always makes for a day When I see more miners, more travellers That's a really nice British card A few more classic cars to see And of course, lots of buses And as we know There's railways as well One thing I'm going to do now I would love to stay a bit longer But it's starting to rain again One point that's undid that might come out But it hasn't I might go for a ride on my favourite open top bus Because it's doing a bus ride up to Mayfield It'll come back here Got 10 minutes before I get bus to Uckford The diesel I've got to say I really do like the thrash on this diesel Let's go and watch it go fast one more time This is definitely my favourite diesel Oh that's not I feel like that one as well The Rushton one was brilliant for thrash The motor rail one It's really good There it goes, we're freight train So I hope you've enjoyed That's the one That's the Rushton I think the motor rail We're trying to give the Rushton one A run for its money in terms of thrash Right, I'm just looking at the bus Because I know as soon as that bus driver gets on The bus will be going soon So I hope you've enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching And like I said Do come and visit, just check their Facebook page And their website, Tinkers Park Railways called the Great Brush Light Railway But this is Tinkers Park I can hear that Rushton still thrashing away Remember to ride on the bus So I hope you've enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment Goodbye
