So on my trip to the Isle of Wight I spent the day at the steam railway there, which was fun. Sadly they only had one train running, but they also had their recently restored Ryde Pier tram doing trips between Havenstreet, Wootton and Ashey.
After the railway I went to Ryde Pier Head to watch an Island Line train coming in from, and then heading back towards Shanklin. Sorry about the noise it was particularly windy out on the pier head. Busy as well - there was a yacht race occurring on the day, starting at Cowes just a few miles west of Ryde, and ending back at Cowes later on.
Locomotives seen:
- Hunslet Austerity WD198 “Royal Engineer”
- LSWR Adams O2 No. W24 “Calbourne”
- [The boiler of] LBSCR Stroudley A1x No. W8 “Freshwater”
- LMS Ivatt No. 41298 and/or 41313
Clips are shown in the order in which they were filmed.
Enjoy, and have a lovely day!
