I looooooved it! Thanks so much for taking me along! Such beautiful locomotive awwww ❤️❤️❤️😊😘

Thank you ! Can’t beat the sound of a DMU either.

wow great day out , love to see the old steam trains magic !!!

Love Dougal's 'side eye' in the opening shot! That dog has no time to waste with you talking to that filming thing! :-)

gotta bring Dougal to Montana...he would love it....the dog has class!!

I drove a steam engine called Bahamas on that line 20 years ago. Driving experience bought as a present. I will never forget it. 😍😍

Camping and steam trains, superb. Thanks for letting us know about this.

Thanks Dougal, love the coat, for taking us on that lovely train trip and bringing Andrew along. I can see he enjoyed it and puts a lot of effort in.🙂

Lovely bit of trainspotting :-) No doubt it comes naturally to you!

Fabulous, we enjoyed that. Thanks Andrew, hope you’re well. From us two 😀👍🏕📹🚂

Lucky lucky man. That means we get lucky, lucky to see so much beauty. Thank you !

Loved this. It’s been many years since I’ve been on the Swanage Railway, always a great day out. I really enjoyed going on the engine where you sit behind the driver and look out the front window.

Husband and I visit Swanage every year, and love going on the train to Corfe, for a cream tea at the Model Village.

Thanks Andrew......most excellent again.

This was a terrific vid! I think I recognized the station seen on Thomas the Train, which I watched religiously with my grand daughter before she went off for a nap every day.

That site was absolutely spotless and very busy for this time of year , great location with the train on the doorstep

That is a voluptuous steam engine! The risotto didn't look bad eirher.😉😁💚

Eye by gum Andrew, my wife and I live only 15 minutes from Ramsbottom and our daughter lives near Rawtenstall, so you have visited a part of Lancashire very close to our hearts. If we had known, you and Dougal could have come over for a brew!!! Thank you so much for this blog. All my best to you. John and Anne.

LOVED that! Nice work Andrew :-) And we got see an excited a smiley Dougal as he was chasing his ball!

This was special, I love Trains and the last shot of the Train pulling away from the station and the steam sound coming from the engine as it started to accelerate and .........was fantastic!!!!

We just can't keep you from playing with trains, can we. Fortunately. Beautiful video of the East Lancs tank engine and the DMU. Dougal was able to accompany you and seemed happy, too. I couldn't help but notice how the camera seemed to linger on that airstream and tow vehicle which looked so much like yours, and again from the pitch up to the train. What a beautiful day outing. And the restaurant food presentation was amazing, too.

Great video and the East Lancs Railway is very nice as ive been on it a few times. The 2-6-0T GWR loco took me to these places along the line the first time i went to the railway and the campsite looks very nice which your Airstream was easily spotted. It reminded of me staying at presthaven sands in Prestatyn which the caravan backed onto the North Wales Main Line that majority of the services were class 175s a few class 158s as well a few class 221s (one of which were doubled to form a 10 car unit that was named The Irish Mail so i took the chance to ride it on its return journey from Holyhead to Euston)

Looks like a nice day out Andrew, the steam loco is a treat to look at :)

My goodness Andrew , what a brilliant video , thoroughly enjoyed seeing the site and also the steam trains , mighty impressive beasts they are , lovely to see so many people and young children enjoying their days out on the train , never visited that site before , looks beautiful , nice to see it well used , mind you there were 2 shining stars that aren't 2 a penny !! When Teddy Wanderer sees this video , he will be asking me for the loan of my van , his wee furry face will be so excited and as for the food , just scrummie , yummie methinks , give Douggieboy a big kiss from me , he is such a sweetiepie !!

It’s one of the local sites we visit a few times a year

Very good vid again Andrew Interesting as always .Keep em coming! Best wishes to you and Dougal

You certainly take us to gorgeous and exotic locations Andrew. How I miss the old steam trains.

What a lovely spot to park up. Really enjoyed this video. TFS..

Dougal looks smart in his coat and its good to see him enjoying 'fetch'! Great to see a steam train and it looked an enjoyable experience for you and Dougal. I went to Morris Leisure site Stanmore Hall last year, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, and while I was there I had a fantastic ride on the Severn Valley Railway which runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, it was a steam train which made it all the more enjoyable. Looking forward to the next video, tara-a-bit!

Great video, not a fan of the music would have preferred the engine noise but can’t have everything, thanks.

Esso.....still a renowned petrol (gasoline( brand worldwide save the USA where it is branded as ExxonMobil. Ahhhh.....to long for a steam train journey.....and there are PLENTY to choose from here in The USA!

For me, perhaps the best video from you, I love trains, the main decoration in the living room is my model railway, which goes through the walls of three rooms in the apartment. Having traveled with some trains in England, liked it a lot. The food at the restaurant was not for me, I want food on the dish, not a work of art, I am a farmer's son, from the arctic area in Norway, we use the dishes for food. Very good filming and editing, you can sometimes break the music and maybe comment, you are very good at this, good job again.
