Wow! So much work and effort! Nicely done!

Ruston Rust off

Do you guysknow what the issue is with the blue spot fish van ?

in a scrap Yard for 18 years, somewhat it sounds like its lucky its trip abroad failed as it might have ended up abandoned there and possibly scrapped, the little kiddy running for the easter bunny as he wanted to get on the set was Quite funny XD that converted coach for the guard to sit in aswell looks really impressive and so neat and unique

A marvellous 5" gauge railway, fantastic. Merv.😃

Yes l had one of them wagon but sadly it got cut up by the railway it was on when it changed hands tank wagon are part of the railway history Keep up the good work

Hi Ollie, I use ProDec rollers and brushes, I think they are a good compromise between cost and quality. I've picked up a couple of ProDec bargains at Toolstation in the past. Is there any reason why you didn't use Bilthamber Hydrate 80?

Brilliant video Ollie

6 volunteers, 6 sanders, tea and biscuits you could get the top half of one side of the tank done in a day and all painted. Maybe try organising a viewers working party day in good advance notice? I really wish I was closer I'd love to help you plough on through all your projects.

Fully understand you can only do a section at a time, it will look great, just keep chipping away at it, so it won’t rust any more at least. Keep us updated on the progress 👍

Roller. One not made in the Far East I would summise. High speed landfill.

Hi Ollie I'm new to your channel and would like to know where is this lovely line and how far does your mainline run for. Keep up the great video. Geoff

Next train you work look at the first wagon, its still in use now, for carding wheel defects 👍😊

might sound stupid, couldnt you off used to pressure washer to get the rust bit of off after sanding ?? already that one Patch it looks so much better, and hopefully the rest of the tanker will end up looking the same soon :)

Why don’t you get one of them spray guns for applying the paint.

Hi Ollie, good to see a bit of restoration on the wagon fleet, Yes I know you have been sidelined with the changes at the railway, in the long term more important! I think the numbers 1-4 could be to do with the both axle box - wheelsets for maintenance recording, I have noticed this on some main line stock. 👍

Interesseting video :)

Puttin' on the Glitz, are we, lol? I recognise the music, Puttin' on the Ritz. It's also a song connected to Strictly Come Dancing. In any case, my 42nd birthday (Sat. 6th July) is only a few days away. I shall be riding the rails of Cambrian Heritage Railway status.

Thing to use is a needle gun like used to clear chalk out of boilers, works great as a paint and rust stripper and far quicker than a sander and needing less bovver than a blaster. Blasters can be made from old tall propane canisters, couple holes for fittings, big hole atop for media and hooked up to air, I am sure the welders there could sort a decent size and use soda so any media is washed away with the rain :) Primer, red oxide is still the king for old wagons, prob the reason the paint lasted so well was due to red oxide that is the real stuff as nowadays its a banned product due to the lead content hence its nickname "red lead" but the modern stuff is pretty solid for primerwork.

Pardon me for asking, but what was that tanker used for carrying? And after its restoration is completed, what will you use it for?

Nice to see the old Bridport banner on front of the DMU, a rotten shame they closed that line down here in Dorset :(

The reason why axle boxed may be numbered on a wagon is maintenance. If there is a defect in service with one of the wheels the crews need to note which one has the problem so maintenance personal can identify the one needing work

Might be worth considering a rust lazar to clean that thing

Model railroading in1:1 scale.😂 Good on his part.

numbers marked for repairs etc, if wagon derailed the tapper would look for the number so that on his report he would be able to give accurate details of repairs which would be needed on said corner.

Great update Ollie !! Good to see you getting the tank wagon out of the siding and the work done on the end panel highlights an amazing difference and hints at how much of a transformation there will be once you get fresh paint on it all !!

Hi Ollie. I used 6in rollers rather than the smaller ones to paint buses. caroline

Like 👋👍 beatiuful video, greetings from Asturias 🚂

question are any of the things that where for sail still there? if yes what is left.

layout is great but camera is too jerky

Will the blue star Locomotive 35010 be overholded and restourd

Im assuming you will be getting wagons or passenger cars when you get the money to do so

What a great vid. Its so interesting to see how these mammoth restorations are carried out and its great to see a 3-car heritage DMU saved for posterity.

A great update and now I know why there have been no brake van, box van and tanker updates ! I hope the re-org is going to plan and good luck with that!

I used to watch the guard riding the brake van on what must have been some of the last of the unfitted freights in the eighties. I used to think it was a great job, just enjoying the view and drinking tea but obviously there was a great deal more to the job than that. I would love to see a description of how a brake van was used and how the guard did his job and it would be great to hear some recollections from former brake van guards.

I have only just found the vid of the tank wagon restoration. These tankers are so iconic of British Railways and it will be great to see one getting the Wardle Restorations treatment along with the brake van and box van. Hats off to you for putting in so much effort to preserving these important wagons!! I am very much looking forward to seeing more updates.

It was wonderful to work with you and Accurascale for the sound recording of the Ruston 88DS 😊

Love these videos updating on what’s been happening behind the scenes at the railway, very informative and of course great to see the progress of Ruston too - great job 👍

A drain cleaning spiral might work to clean the sand tubes.

The valves appear to be crane valves. They're available at wolsey plumbing or pipe centres normally.

I do like your livestreams, don't get me wrong. I just want to see your model railway operating again. Even if you only show it in one video a week. I miss it so much. However, talk of real steamies and stinky diesels, there's a new real railway video on my channel I'm sure would be to your liking. It begins with LNER A4 Sir Nigel Gresley on the main line, at Chester. Second comes a Class 50 diesel on the Severn Valley Railway. Third is a Class 86 Electric Diesel at Crewe, back on the main line. Do watch it and let me know what you think of it.

What a great show around and discussion of how it operates and how you are restoring it!

Fantastic Video - well done 😊

Thanks for the update. Hope you are still working on the brake van. Have enjoyed the series but they seem to of stopped. Interested in the Blue pipe wagon you have bought. I work at Wolverton carriage works and can remember the wagons being around the works. The only time I saw it / them being used was when we filled it with redundant carriage fittings. Took them outside and burnt the lot. Sacrilege I know but they were in the way.

Great update video Ollie.

Oh the fun of unclogging sanders, used to do that on the old GE/West Anglia units. The valve that sits under the hopper can be the culprit in some cases, if the Rushton set up is similar

Cracking video guys.

Brilliant video

good to see whith up date good see you working on a the loco

Glad to see Eric got my old sentinel working, very impressive
