6233 Duchess of Sutherland's Breezy Morning Departure from London Victoria 2022 [HD]

[@SimplyTakuma]

Just the sheer elegance......majestic.

[@AmbroseB1900]

The Duchesses have been one of my favourite loco's since first seeing them in the early 60s. So wonderful that not only is this one preserved but is kept to such an amazingly high standard! A sight and sound experience to treasure.

[@PedroConejo1939]

I love the Duchess, mellow through and through from this paint scheme, the Stanier whistle to her 'bark', which is more of the woof of a great Dane.

[@brucelamberton8819]

Such a beautiful loco - one of my favourites

Appreciate the compliment! 😀

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

When I was little, I had an electric train set of which the engine was "The Duchess of Atholl". It was painted the same colour as the engine in the video.

With her private jets and her bodyguards.

[@christopherdibble5872]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore; not they did back in 1954!

[@bob-sb2zu]

They always over do the drain cocks, engine disappears in unneccesary clouds of steam ! seldom saw that in BR days

[@theovanzijl8996]

Why is there a diesel loco pushing at the back ?

[@kiddostrain]

Gotta due to the mainline steam protocols I reckon... Check out the Ebor Flyer incident in 2018 where 60163 Tornado breaks down on the mainline and holds up a heck lot of traffic while waiting for a diesel tow!!

[@crewelocoman5b161]

Also, the diesel is able to supply heating to the coaches as the steam heating arrangements has long since been removed even from old Mk 1 stock. The diesel makes things easier at the other end of the journey enabling the train to be propelled out of the station to a suitable location/siding without the need to summon a shunter or other loco to do this which would necessitate additional planning, time, money, risk assessment...you get the picture.

[@andrewyoung749]

larger profits. less work being done by the steam in addition to ever spiralling costs for tickets. std class on a uk tour now around 110 quid average. sold as steam tours. can fly to france and have 2 days on a 241p on the sncf mainline in 1st class for roughly the same. or go to denmark and do copenhagen to helsingor on a 1900 4-4-0 with wooden bodied 4 wheel carriages on the dsb mainline. note these are not broken down loser countries, they are tip of the top of the 1st world pile with modern infrastructure and demands and yet id expect both to be sans diesel. which tells us its really just excuse making in blighty as per...

[@ayymao1017]

@@andrewyoung749 Yeah, seems UK has become a broken down loser country

[@keithtanner2806]

SO much leaking steam. What on earth is the matter with maintenance nowadays?

[@DarlingtonWorks1863]

its a steam engine, steam engines steam like crap

[@loco42041]

It was not leaking at all,

[@stygiandragon3865]

It's POWERED by steam. In fact, if there are less to no steam on this thing, THEN we got a problem

[@arthurrytis6010]

@Keith tanner. Cylinder drain cocks open on starting , less chance of blowing off a cylinder cover

[@djburland]

It's not pushing, it's a precaution because main line must be kept clear.

[@merlinlandzend698]

I would certainly say it had a push during the start out of the station. As powerful as the Duchess is, it couldn't accelerate like that from a standing start with that load.

[@DarlingtonWorks1863]

wait so mainline railtour diesels do not push the train but are just simply pulled, always thought they helped

[@kevfrombutterley]

It was doing most of the work there

[@andrewyoung749]

@@DarlingtonWorks1863 thats what they say when you hand them (a lot) money. but they seem to be shoving hard most of the time these days.

[@andrewyoung749]

an almost totally unnecessary precaution. and the excuses as to why these buckets of scrap are on the back polluting the experience for which you pay varies depending on whom you ask suggesting its really there to lessen the work being done by the loco...
