Lovely ex lner locos

I saw Furness No. 20 in a video of Autumn Steam Gala of the East Lancashire Railway, 2024. She is a real beauty! Nice video.

When this happened i was 6 and i didn't know that i was attending the last time theyd be together in one place. I went on two days with my parents. Its ashame i only saw dominion of canada and dwight d eisenhower when that took place. It was beautiful though to see.😢 where has time gone....

I always prefer the British rail green. What was it called Brunswick green?

10 years late but that "pop-pop" sound is the squeak of each chuff

Absolutely stunning video. Big Thank You for the addition of text information.

3:53 one of Tornado's volunteers; it's nice to see a familiar face :))

amazing bittern sounds like metal clicking though

How many of these locomotives could be operated without massive amounts of money being spent one or two Mallard will never run neither will the two overseas Bittern boiler cert is about to run out that leaves just 2

Thanks for your reply regarding The Deltic engines, 😊,

Truly Magnificent, To see Those A4 Engines .Wish I'd been there, & The turn Out of People again all credit, It just goes to show how Popular those steam Engine's are still after thay were Replaced with Electric & Diesels engine's, Again, Thanks to all those Guys & Ladies for supporting this Magnificent Day ? Dam it i Missed this Magnificent event, 😢

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1943, and I remember so well the wonderful steam engines which ran from Cape Town Central down to Simon's Town in our beautiful Cape Peninsula. My parents would take me to Wynberg Station, very near to where we lived, to watch the steamers chuff slightly uphill towards Cape Town and return, almost celebrating the hard uphill run. My Scottish Granny would say that during their uphill run the engines would say "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" and on the downhill run they would say "I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could". I have never forgotten this wonderful Chuffing Song, and I am 80 years old. Also, it's so great to see the magnificent Spirit of South Africa in real life, although so far away! Well done to all who keep these giants of steam alive!!!

A truly amazing spectacle. Well done to everyone involved who arranged it.

Locomotion is a great place. It's the best thing about Shildon, narrowly beating any road that takes you out of Shildon.

I'm a complete new and really excited to get into this hobby. what gauge would you suggest? I don't have heaps of room, and I would like to end up with sound and fine control over speed. Are the Hornby sets decent value or not ? loving your vids, sorry for all the question! thank you

2:26 Bittern emerging from the steam looks awesome

2:27 Bittern emerging from the steam looks wicked

January 2024 👍👍🇨🇦

My favorite one there is sir Nigel gresley😏

Improve the facilities at Shildon now!

Union of South Africa, my grandfather used to work that engine when it was in service.

There’s actually a rarely seen 7th A4 in existence. She was built at Warren Truck Assembly in Warren Michigan and is now owned and operated by my family. Painstakingly repainted in LNER Garter Blue, she is America’s Mallard.

APT-E: “hello what’s this? A gathering of the A4’s?” Mallard: “OI! Union Of South Africa, it’s APT-E!” 60009: “LMAO, don’t even talk to us kid, we’re years ahead of you”

There is now a new version of this video with longer lasting captions for those of you who have commented that they go by too quickly for reasons explained below but also can't read text on paused video due to platform limitations.

I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

6 a4s remain as of 2022. Out of 35, only six. No one really in-depth looks into a4s. The average train guy only knows the a4 for mallards speed record. My grandfather was around at the time that mallard and her class was grand spanking new. My favorite a4 is number 60009 which also appeared in this video at 4:43 I love engines like this. Scotsman mey have 2 tenders and be the main character in the steam engine trilogy that started in 1800 but she will never be the best. The a4s will always manage to outshine her.

Went here with my dad when I were a lad. Remember it well and cherish it dearly.

The best engines ever built far better than the rubbish that is running today bring back the steam locomotives

Great video and I got to see the 6 A4's there too.

We used to work these DMUs on the Edinburgh to Glasgow Central via Shotts line.

It will never happen but would cool to see all six in steam for the 100th

0:45 preparing for departure

will the engines every meet up again?

It would GREAT to see iconic loco's back together again. By chance is the Eisenhower back here now or still away . Would be great to see as well as all other A4s. Nice footage of these grand old Beasties

Could anybody explain, what happens on 17:07 please? :-o

I wish mallard would return to steam or just even disguise bittern or sir Nigel Gresley it would nice to see the name mallard on a working a4

I cabbed mallard at kings cross station 65 years ago.See all the A4s except William Whitelaw who for some reason never came down south.

I know- you can't read that fast... When I posted this it was possible to add pauses in KZbin. Since I don't have that fast a connection I took advantage of this by keeping the text screens to a couple of seconds which significantly reduced the size of the video file and thus the amount of time it took to upload which was already hours. KZbin has since removed this feature and now has removed the pauses. It should be easy enough to pause the video but a comment from WashingtonSAFC (below) revealed to me that KZbin applications on some devices (for no doubt excvellent reasons) obscure part of the screen making them illegible. The captions have now been reproduced in the video description which I hope will make them accessible to more viewers.

Shame on the user unfriendly editing: No one can read a full screen of text in half a second ☹️

I was there!

I went to the great gathering July 2013 in York Museum. I was so excited and beside myself..forever grateful I got to sit in the drivers seat of Mallard..my favourite 💜💜 Can we put this beautiful A4 back on the line one day? ..Karen

It was nice to see all 6 surviving a4s to line up next to each other for the first time ever since the 1960s with mallard still the record holder of 126mph 60009 60007 and 4464 still being seen on the mainline plus 60008 and 60010 both returned back from America

Thank you for documenting this, what an event celebrating these magnificent engines

Best title ever:,,long goodbye (short)

Where is Sir Nigel Gresley and the Bittern kept now

It was part of my heritage railways will never be the same

What an entrance at 2:23

Why wasn’t all the a4s running?
