Middleton Railway on Model Weekend 2024

Ғылым және технология

The Middleton Railway is the worlds oldest continuously working railway Built in 1758 under the first ever railway act of parliament it was used to transport coal in horse drawn wagons. in 1812 the line became the first in the world to successfully use steam locomotives. Today it is home to a number of locally built and unusual industrial locomotives. This is my first visit for a number of years and during that time a new museum has been built where you can read lots about the collection as well as the history of the line, well worth a visit. The day started bright and soon turned to constant rain for the rest of the day. I am glad I got there early to take some video of the days locomotive built in 1890 by Manning Wardle.

    @@ccrx6700I will see if I can get more video of it for you. The people there are keen to show people round their locos. One loco they have was at a factory which had 3 engines. I rode on two of them which were scrapped the 3rd was saved and still runs here. I was a bit sad it was inside the shed so could not see it. I really want to get on the footplate and have a good look round it. They use them in rotation so I will check for when these are running and hope for a fine day.

    Cracking video. Don't think I've ever seen Sir Berkeley out but it has run many times in preservation. Half of those locos on display are ready to run also but little track space. Extremely important railway that can't really extend any further due to the network and buildings the park etc. It would be really nice if they could just get another mile make Park Holt the mid way passing station but probably a pipe dream 😕 Nice you got the off branch In shot. Felt sorry for that crew out in that weather.

    Thanks axl I was saddened not to see Brookes No 1 but I remember Mirvale working at the factory and NYMR so was good to look in the cab which is very cramped. They have a good number of locos that run just limited how many they can run in a day with the short track. It would be nice if they had a bit longer track. I asked about the branch and why some rail was taken out, they get paid by Networkrail who do training there. Picked the wrong loco they were drenched but still seemed happy.

    Well they all have to do a duty every few weeks to keep the parts moving I suppose there will be a written down loco roster. Good they get paid for training. The sentinel was based at the nymr for a while late 80s and since then has done the odd gala visit at other railways.

    I liked the assorted variety of locomotives at the beginning. The painted backdrop for the model display (starts at 14:02) is a nice backdrop. Is that a layout for a club ?

    I remember Mirvale working at a factory and it went to NYMR as one of their first locomotives where I saw it working. The one locomotive I really wanted to see was in the shed out of sight, it came from a factory near where we lived, I want to see that working one day, it is still used. The layout you like is from a club and built by a husband and wife who we had a chat to. I liked that one too. It was only a small show and I only took that little video of the layouts.
