The Echills Wood Railways Mainline loco weekend,saturday,June 2015

I have finally got time to upload this video I took at the Echills Wood railway for main line 7 1/4 locos.This video was taken on the Saturday.Weather was, sunny spells and some rain showers,at one time I didn't think we would get any on track action,well done to everybody for putting on such a great show,this annual event just gets better and better.Rosie has already put a video on of this event.This is my footage.I hope you enjoy it.
All shots are taken by a Canon XHA1s and are hand held sorry if it has a few shakes.

    This is the right way to do coaches. None of those converted gondolas (unless it's a larger scale) or those horrible looking purpose built riding cars. No. Scale passenger coaches with foot boards on the side and a cushioned roof. Bravo! Also, those locomotives are absolutely beautiful, every last one of them!

    +EZ Goin Thanks for your comment,not everybody can afford scale coaches so they use what they build so it usually is the type you discribe.This mainline loco weekend brings out the best coaches/trucks and loco's.Glad you enjoyed my video......Best wishes Chris.

    G'day and greetings from Tasmania, what a beautiful collection of locos. The engineering skills a truly amazing, great job on the filming and editing it all flows well. All I can say is I just hope that my 5" Super Simplex ends up as a fine looking as these. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos. Lastly I think the set up they have is a credit to all. Thank you regards John Kinnane Tasmania Australia

All my locomotives are in various stages of refit they was inherited from my grandfather and have been stood 7 years until a family issue had been settled on the plus side its brilliant to refresh some good memories watching my grandfather do the same I enjoy working on them as much as running them
