Just annoys me .... The museum fraternity always put a down turn spin on the future of steam engines... If they can build a loco for 20 million (Tornado) then they can re-produce the cast mouldings for this engine.. and put it back into service for the UK to enjoy and see again-- After all seeing a steam engine in operation is what its all about...

I hope that thing turns a wheel while it's in your care, but I'm glad it's been kept in the condition that it was withdrawn in. I filmed that exact train, on one of it's final journeys on the Hope Valley. I've probably ridden on it many a time as well.

“In the states they call these Mastodons” If you want to split hairs, that’s not entirely true. Here in the states, the 4-8-0 was never given a name- only ever being referred to as twelve wheelers under Whyte Notation. The Mastodon name is falsely attributed to the 4-8-0 wheel arraignment based on the unofficial nickname given to the first successful 4-8-0 to operate- Central Pacific 229 in 1882. The only locomotive to officially be called a Mastodon was the Central Pacific’s 4-10-0 “El Gobernador”

What was the first steam locomotive in Britain to go from the form of Rocket to the grandeur of such locomotives as Lode Star?

"A special friction material." When I see a few places still running these about with the original drive system, I do wonder about the "special friction fibres" that they must be spraying over their volunteers, passengers and sites. Lovely to see the Wickham getting some love, though.

I'm interested in the locomotive moves that have happened in the background - When was this filmed? 47798 "Prince William" is now where 6229 "Duchess of Hamilton" is usually placed and 35029 "Ellerman Lines" has also been moved to the other end of the Great Hall

I remember these little engines crossing Newhaven Swing Bridge, and trundling through the main street (A27) and down towards west pier sidings. It might have been the similar A1x class, but it was sixty plus years ago. All now, sadly, gone. Good program series, Mr. curator.

9:21, I propose for a double X that you go back whatever number is drawn and skip the next turn
@ShadowDragon868514 күн бұрын
That would be too punishing. I proposed that a double-X would let you go forward or back, your choice; but that a sensible alternative would simply be to skip your turn.

A Victorian parlour game was by using a Bradshaw s guide, players would work out the quickest way from one place to another, e g from Penzance to Hull. The one with the shortest journey time was the winner.🧐

This sounds like the game invented and played by the Bishop, the Archdeacon, and the Chaplain in ”All Gas and Gaiters”, the ancient BBC1 sitcom. A player drew two stations from a hat, and a day and departure time, then they,. having memorized the entire BR timetable, would have to come up with the optimal itinerary between the two stations. The shortest time was the main criterion, but there were also points for the fewest changes of train. Other players could challenge if they thought the journey described was impossible (“That train only stops to set down passengers, you can;t catch it there!”), which scored points, or suggest a better itinerary of their own, which stole the points from their opponent.

I love the older feller's acerbic, dry, _dramatic_ delivery. It would actually be great to see... You know what? Imagine him reading from an old "self-guided tour" book, giving Geoff directions that are almost a century out of date, from the comfort of his sitting room.

Irving Finkel, Sir, lots of us cannot eat grapefruit, but we can eat pineapple. And of course the Pineapple was a sign of great wealth in the Great Country Houses of that time. It looks to have been a game where most players retired due to lack of funds. So they needed a good sense of humour to have fun.
