Outstanding video. Such a beautiful locomotive. Thanks for sharing. Dave

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Great video, do you know if this will be at the back of Britannia for Sunday at K&ESR???

Bovril boat😂

That ship's horn sounds like something out of a Tom & Jerry cartoon! 😂 Lovely vessel though. I used to live about 10 minutes from Southampton docks, and had a hand in the building of the Fawley Oil Terminal.

Great looking ship . Saw here on the Clyde taking sewage out to see to be dumped

"Oil fired boilers twin screw providing power to twin screws." Got it.

And we Poles have got here the last classic steam engine driven freighter. Having been put to service around the Trafalgar Day in 1949, she remained active until Dec. 1980 and now carries on as museum ship at Gdańsk/Danzig. In Flensburg they've got their Alexandra, a passenger steamer from 1908, to say nothing of the Skibladner from Norway. ♍🇵🇱👍

When ships were ships.....

So telegraph on stand by, presumably main engine in view running, unusual if not direct drive. Am I missing something?

I'll never forget the sound of the "Susti" pump.

And there is also the Waverley

Prachtig ritme. Welhaast rustgevend. Mooie techniek.

Hmm, that is strange, I thought the Waverly was still operational?

That's a small wheel...

G'day to you! I thought it would have been nice to see a long shot of the ship to get an idea of what it looks like ,instead of snippets of different parts of her, a bit annoyed about it!

It’s just too bad there aren’t anymore beautiful relics like this still in existence.

Fantastic to see a lovely old lady of the seas still going.

There was a comedy song in my youth about this ship - The SS S***haul. really does need to be preserved, there is the Steam Trawler Lydia Eva out of Great Yarmouth, although thats now a museum ship.

Whitonia is not an aggregate carrier, she carries bunker oil for the ships in the Solent ports.

I worked on that bloody thing, it was a right laugh, the mate and chief engineer were right twats but everyone else well apart from Richard were a good laugh. Dave the Cox who looked like some refugee from Israel, Gus the second who had a lovely ground up restored Riley, Lead Head who you always knew was working the engines as the change over in the boilers was always putting out enough smoke to make those in Rome had a dead pope. Then Mick from Manchester Pat x 2 from the Falkland isles and Nick Donoruma from Woolston who was a diamond of a geezer in the deck dept, Dave the Chef and for the life of me I can't remember the captains name, an Irish gentleman who had a wicked sense of humour. Every day the Bovril boat would sail forth to the dumping grounds do her circle of shyte then return to Southampton for a fresh load and off she would go again. In drydock I ended up going quite literally everywhere on that ship from inside the boilers cleaning out the tubes to buoyancy spaces cleaning, chipping, painting. Although if anyone from the submarine would like to say why they popped up in the brown ring I would love to know why.

Old machinery needs to work regularly otherwise it dies

Many years ago I donated my old sight reduction tables to this ship. I wonder if they are still on the bridge? However being a coastal vessel I don't suppose that they have seen much use!

I would have been 12 when it began operations. I recall seeing it on days during the school holidays when I picnicked with the family on the shores of the R Clyde. Also recalled is the last remaining ocean-going paddle steamer 'Waverley' which plied on the river then as well. Not forgetting 'Talisman', 'Jeanie Deans' and 'Queen Mary II' - this last had steam turbines driving propellors instead of paddles.

What about the Waverly??

Just loved the engine room and bridge, plenty of brass and quality polished timber. That cruise ship looks like a floating Miami apartment block, give me the old Arcadia any day!

I think we were the sailing boat you can see just to starboard of you when the harbourmaster is flying up always nice to see this lovely old ship out and about, but was a bit surprised to see Shieldhall apparently heading for Weston Shore though,

Is this the hospital ship from dunkirk

A good video thank you. By the way "Whitonia" is a bunker tanker.

I say, that ship should be Preserved.

Omfg that wind up is orgasmic to the ears

Is Bang Phra station near Pattaya beach???

Too bad the captions stay a very short time, only enough to read one half, stop, rewind, read again and move on ? Why such hurry ?

My favourite locomotive 4509 💙💛❤️

For me being Born in Thailand I'm very proud of Thailand for the modern transportation all over Thailand.

Wow this is an awesome site watching the train take off from the main station in hua lamphong It looks amazing and exciting I love the train because my father worked for the real road.

The main station hua lamphong is the main station I'm sure now The train goes everywhere around the country It is good to hear the Thai reloading more convenience then never.

Believe it or not back in the days there was no train Going to Pattaya or the other city only south hatyai border of myraian then you crossed over the fairy from hatyai to myraian. That's what I have back in 1969 .

Every time I see the reloading just reminds me of big time because of my father's work and retired from the train station taking me back almost seventhy years ago It has been a long time since then .

Is there no gyroscope to alter the barrel with the movement of the ship?

🎉🎉wow very big train

Great catch. Wonderful video. Greetings Joe 😊

Great capture and location

There fantastic had a cab ride or to at Paignton station the perks of your grandfather working on the stain they got it 100 per cent on these locomotive stunning power ,looks ,and sound

Always loved when a Western pulled into the station going to school in the 70s in Cornwall. Always groaned when it was more often a crummy little Warship class. They struggled…
