The name "The Mayflower" sticks in my memory since the days I went to college in east Devon in the early sixties, and school holidays began and ended with a train trip from/to Exeter or Taunton to/from Paddington. The up train was invariably "The Mayflower", and usually hauled by a Warship.

@johndavies5826 Жыл бұрын
Cockett IS steep. To get up it with twelve on in the wet is a remarkable feat of sheer power. Even with the sanding gear in good order, a bit of slipping is not surprising. Note that as 6024 passes the camera on the way into the tunnel, there is a wisp of steam from the safety valve, so she has her full 250 pounds available. A tribute to the efforts of the fireman, bending his back and slinging it in to that long grate.
@robinnicholson4009 Жыл бұрын
I have always wanted to ask..does a loco hold its steam for ?? Minutes or does it require constant feeding.
@johndavies5826 Жыл бұрын
It depends entirely on how hard the engine is working. If it is drifting, splashing a bit of coal round the box from time to time will do. If it is working hard, the boiler and firebox are not steam receptacles so much as steam generators. The fire becomes hungry and has to be kept fed. If it is not kept fed, the suction of the blast will tear holes in the fire, the firebars will be exposed, cold air will rush in from below and steam pressure will rapidly drop. Harold Gasson's books are enlightening. This was a man who did the job and describes it well. A lot depends on boiler design. Some engines with quite large boilers generated less steam than their size would suggest. Some smaller boilers had a steam generation capacity greater than their size would suggest. Good valve events so the steam is used efficiently and good smokebox and blast pipe design to ensure a proper draught on the fire are also important. GWR Saints, Stars, Castles and Kings all qualified well on all counts, as did LMS Princesses (once their boilers had been redesigned), Duchesses, LNER pacifics and of course the Bulleid pacifics, especially in rebuilt form.@@robinnicholson4009

I wish Leander could have kept her LMS Crimson Lake livery. In any case, I have an old Mainline Railways 00 gauge model of her in that colour, so I'm not complaining too much. She is my favourite Jubilee tender engine after all.

Hello 6024KE1, lovely to have met you at Castle Hill. I'm amazed I memorised your KZbin name, but so glad I did, because your filming and editing is superb. ... and you have manages to do it so quickly. Thank you so much for sharing. It's great to be able to see some of the locations that I didn't have the chance to visit this time. PS: And your microphone technique at Castle Hill worked superbly, I didn't hear the road noise at all, but the engine sounded great. Best Wishes to you.
