For the Love of Steam

For the Love of Steam For the Love of Steam is my personal passion project.

It was my love of steam and all things narrow gauge that first inspired me to pick up a camera and to share my passion for steam, narrow gauge & railway modelling with fellow enthusiasts.

I had a fantastic day out a couple of weeks ago on my first ever visit to the Foxfield Railway. A thoroughly charming line with loads of character, I'm really looking forward to going back! In steam on my visit was the 100 year old unique Kerr Stuart "Witch" class No 4388, a fascinating loco which is due to visit the Severn Valley Railway later this month for their summer gala. This first video from Foxfield focuses on the loco in action viewed from footpaths and crossings in the beautiful Staffordshire scenery. Look out for the on board videos coming to the channel soon!
