Im very interested in the BBC recordings if you could send a link to them

"Plucky" is a nice way to describe this hard-working little engine. That low firebox door must have been pretty rotten, though! Ow!

She looks absolutely stunning.

I actually got to see this engine at the Bluebell Railway on display and I went through the tender and into the cab

Great video! Met Boxhill last year for my birthday. So good to finally meet her! 👍👌🚂❤

0:45 Ok, I know we are talking about 'Boxhill', but can we also talk about 'Spithead'?

so glad 142001 has more original bench seats, the later sprinter like seats are awful

Just went to the National Railway Museum last weekend. Was a pleasure to “meet” Boxhill in person!

How long would the engine run on one charge of steam?

The engine I'm looking forward to seeing most when I next visit Great Hall, for clear reasons. Superb Curator with a Camera once again. Learnt a few new things, which is always a win.

Interesting video, very well presented.

Wonderful video, I have a 00 scale model of a terrier in very similar colours

You almost had to fire on your knees!. I didn't know yet that Boxhill is the only surviving original A1. I think that the holes in the frame are for accessibility to the inside motion parts for oiling. And yes, a feedwater pump because an injector doesn't like to work with hot water, so the pump would be needed if the condensing apparatus was on, likely when traversing the tunnel under the Theems.

The fireman wouldn't have been able to stand up after a day coaling the Terrier.

Back breaking indeed! I don't think Stroudly designed these engines to be worked by people above the height of 5'11, that's for sure! But having said that I dont think strapping lads of 6ft 4 were around in that era, judging by the fact that every Victorian/Edwardian locomotive I've stepped on the footplate of I keep having to duck my head because the cab roof is too low, (on Western Australian locomotives anyway) wouldve been quite the shock for a fireman to swap between one of these for an M7 or Ivatt or Standard 4 tank thats for sure!

Thank you for the tour.

The only engine which was suitable to work trains along the Hayling Island branch due to the weight limits on the bridge. 🚂

Boxhill is one of my all time favourite York exhibits (and might be one of the few still there). It’s a lovely locomotive, with a sleek design and pleasant livery. It has a fairly interesting history and serves as a nice example of one of the greatest tank engine types ever built.

what a treat and with a Deltic lurking in the background, even more so!

Lovely seeing a spotlight on a Terrier. While Fenchurch will always be my favorite. I'd love to see Boxhill re-converted to a 2-4-0 terrier.

Funny you have reviews a Terrier as I’ve been to Bluebell today and 72 Fenchurch was in operation. These engines are my biggest personal favourite small locos that I enjoy seeing in action including the one that I mention as well seeing them in action on both the Isle of Wight and Kent & East Sussex.

Thank you for this video of Boxhill. I'm particularly interested in Terriers as I have 2 brothers that were steam train drivers at New Cross Gate 1871-1891. I want to visit your museum as soon as I have the confidence to get on the train from King's Cross

I don't know if it's the accent, the sideburns, the tweed, or all three but Mr. Spain seems right at home on a Victorian steam locomotive.

I always enjoy Curator With A Camera videos but this one is of particular interest. A great little loco from a great period in our history.

Originally lined out for the museum when it was in Clapham by Freddy Hambledon, also known as an authority on Sussex Maypole dance.

Kind off amazing that class lasted in service until 1963 and off 50 built 10 remain with around 6 in running condition

The Terrier’s proportions are so perfect, like classical Greek art.

Is she going to be put back at the learning centre once the work is done

Most impressive ❤ I find it fascinating that it was rebuilt as a 2-4-0 for a specific passenger purpose. Then rebuilt back into a 0-6-0. Quite the history.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

❤❤❤❤

Fascinating history and engineering. Thank you.

Been Shilden several times. Forget York ,it’s now a travesty. Lost its way. Shilden stunning new layout.new shed plus we had a tour round with one of the volunteers. I had no idea how underrated Timothy Hackworth was. Yes the rocket was amazing and pretty much embodies all modern locos.however the other locomotives by Hackworth got all over the world. Easy trip up from Leeds and parking outside.

There as not been one fatality on high speed rail in Japan since 1964 when it was introduced can road transport beat that record no chance high speed rail in Japan moves the total population of the world every year

'You Can't Miss It.' - and if you do miss it, it can't miss you... Cool to have an explanation of what Head Codes mean, I came here for the engineering pron and never really paid attention to them before but now I'll be looking.

I thought it was weedkiller duties that kept it busy until the 50s??
