A look at 2 BRAND NEW steam locomotives, 72010 "Clan" HENGIST and 61673 B17 SPIRIT OF SANDRINGHAM

[@hamradiofun5527]

Another great behind the scene's video!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Interesting video I'll look forward to seeing these locos up and running. I've subscribed. It was nice to meet you last Sunday.

[@thomastaylor6699]

It is so refreshing to see that the construction of new steam locomotives is still being done. I think the world needs more and more of these magnificent steam machines either restored or built from scratch, as in this case. Well done!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

It's good to see how well these projects go forward, and thanks for showing us. And while it is an interesting subject, your camera work and sound editing has room for improvement. In this video the camera never stops moving around and makes it impossible to fully appreciate the details on said locomotives. The video starts with an intro which almost explodes your speakers, and then you start talking and it is nearly inaudible. The problem is not in your knowledge or presentation, these are good, it's purely the technical side of making videos where it lacks. Make you camera work a bit more steady, by holding a frame for at least 5 seconds and make use of a tripod where applicable. Use the function in your editing software to equalize sound levels of separate cuts of your video, if your camera has an external microphone input you could use an external mike so that you can always hold it in the direction of your own face or the interviewed person when talking, it prevents the sound falling down when you point your camera away from the speech being recorded.

Wow I didn't realise these brand new locos were being built. I knew the p2 and the lms 10000 was being built brand new as such but nice to have even more new builds being done 👍

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

It's not nice. We should be cutting up steam locos, not building more. This is due to carbon dioxide pollution causing global warming climate change. We have to stop burning coal now!

[@malcolmemsley7176]

Hope the Woke Climate extinction rebellion Just stop oil coal gas brigade don't find out.....can they run on batteries??.

[@peterbray5383]

In terms of cost, it is cheaper to build new than constantly restoring and repair the likes of flying scotsman. There is a market for steam powered excursions and, I suspect in the future a strategic need as well.

[@robertbruce1887]

As a Canadian l would like to say cheers to the poeple in the U.K. who are building previously extinct steam locomotives from scratch. I hope it inspires similar action here in North America. I think that it's sickening that none of the J-3 Hudson (4-6-4) locomotives that powered the New York Central 's famous 20th Century Ltd from New York to Chicago at speeds claimed to be 123 m.p.h., were preserved, not to mention many other great steam locomotives in North America.

[@AznIntegra521]

The t1 trust is building a t1 duplex steam locomotive from scratch

[@kristoffermangila]

As for the disappearance of all those NYC Hudson,Niagara and other steam locomotives, you can blame one of #HistoryInTheDark's fave villains, Alfred "I WANT THAT STEAM LOCOMOTIVE DESTROYED" Perlman.

[@richardgaunt9836]

Great video, really interesting. A little spoilt by your camera not being able to hold focus, could do with some image stabilisation and the sound was a bit dodgy in places. The internet is a better place with it though so good work 👍

[@gotechit]

Interesting topic. Unfortunately let down with a camera running at a low frame rate, and potentially faulty autofocus. Quite an eyestrain experience to watch the video.

[@davidbnsmessex.5953]

I think you mean HENGIST with a clipped I as in mist , not as in eye .

[@brianwillson9567]

I remember, back in the 1970s the gcr hoped for reinstatement if the gap by 1999, the centenary of the line’s opening.

[@johnjephcote7636]

I nearly switched off when that chap bend down to glare at me.

[@johndrew3202]

This is a very interesting and informative glimpse at these projects. All they need is more and continuing financial support to enable their completion in reasonable time, slow income means means slow finish. Hopefully there will be further open events. It is only a shame that some of this information is not quite right.

[@kenattwood8060]

I liked your video but there are a couple of points that would have made it better. When ever you pointed whatever you were using as a camera at something your commentary faded so much that I couldn't tell what you were saying. Also, I hope you made a note of how everyone else pronounced the name "Hengist".

[@derekferguson385]

Wee Jimmy Hengist will be pleased. 😊

[@georgejonesthestarseeds77]

These are brand new? Man, first Number 10 Falcon at the Corris railway, now this? This just keeps getting better and better

[@kristoffermangila]

Oh yes, they are popping up alright, even across the pond in the US, with the Pennsylvania Railroad T1 duplex locomotive 5550 project nearly halfway complete (with ambitions for it to exceed Mallard's long-standing (and much maligned, as far as many American steam fans view it) speed record).

[@colinmorrisondavies3709]

Thanks for the video and the commentary. However I found it difficult to actually watch the video as you never actually stopped long enough for us to see what you were looking at. The camera was constantly on the move. Constructive feedback and not destructive.

[@Lemonaitor]

secondary to this, there were sections when you were interviewing John from the clan project where you didn't keep the mic pointing at him, so the audio was quiet patchy. Sound can be just as important as video

[@christophersheward9266]

Saw a clan at Tamworth circa 1961. Found its way down from Scotland to pull a goods train between Derby and Birmingham but have lost my Ian Allen trainspotting book and can't remember which one it was. A rare sight down here in the midlands.

[@GrrMeister]

*Still got my books from late 50's and never saw a Clan Class in Leicester or Rugby where I frequently went !*

[@jp-um2fr]

Subscribed, etc. as ordered. Two more - bl**dy ell - well done.

[@bobingabout]

I think whoever edited this video needs to learn a few things. Your intro scene in the first few seconds was deafeningly loud, but then you talking afterwards is almost inaudibly quiet. Still interesting content, even if I couldn't hear what people were saying a lot of the time.

[@delticman]

Thanks for the feedback, I am aiming to rectify the inconsistent audio

[@bjorreb7487]

This was interesting. When will they be finnished?

[@FlyingScotsmanAnimate2010]

I just sad that all the original BR standard 6 were class scrapped. I feel like Clan Stewart would have been the best example of this class to be preserved.

[@Shark30006]

When will the locomotive be in service?

Nice!

[@TheSudrianTerrier653]

you could honestly consider spirit of sandringham a b17 rebuild since it will use components from original B17s

[@robertcharlessceats3647]

Sadly, your introduction is barely audible and as somebody else has commented, your commentary often fades. Otherwise, a very good and interesting presentation

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Are these being built from scratch from the original plans and original material specifications?

[@brickleyyard4966]

Who's making the boiler?

[@delticman]

I belive Heritage boiler steam services are a potential contractor for both boilers, following construction and funds

[@brickleyyard4966]

Cool

[@michaelnaisbitt7926]

Has anyone noticed the age of all these men working on the project There are no young men interested in steam revival ITSa good chance that most of these men will be gone before projects ever say steam

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

I know I will be gone before these engines see steam, unless they really hurry up.

[@charlesburgoyne-probyn6044]

[@alexhamilton4084]

You’re pronouncing Hengist wrong. At the 7:19 mark the guy pronounced it correctly.

@Alex Hamilton There was a Hengist Pod played by Kenneth Connor in Carry On Cleo.

[@tacfoley4443]

Image is good but sound is terrible. What I can hear is you calling the loco HenGUYst - like 'feist'. Is this intentional?

[@whispofwords2590]

....who cares?

[@robertmiller1299]

It is pronounced ‘Hen-gist’ is in ‘kist’

[@kpdvw]

72010 has the shortest boiler I ever saw......

[@rogerwatt3154]

I still can't understand why anyone would spend countless years and millions of £££s building "Hengist" when the Clans were one of the least successful of BR's standard designs and disliked by their crews wherever they worked.

[@spankflaps1365]

They’ll do modifications during construction, that fixes the problems. It was either Britannia, Cromwell or DOG that had steaming issues fettled in preservation during an overhaul. Also the P2 under construction has had it’s original running problems designed out. They had all the data, so the problems could be identified and rectified in computer modelling.

[@AznIntegra521]

U do realize that modern day technology and techniques can correct the flaws right? It might not have been feasible to correct it back then but this is modern day, new technologies can do wonders to fix these problems

[@70053morayfirth]

The Clan project has been going for years. I can't see it ever being finished but I would love to be proved wrong.,

learn to hold the camera still. Every time you wave it back n forth the image is out of focus.

[@auster120]

Please, buy a cheap video camera with a wide angle lens, or a good one with autofocus! Even if what you explain may be interesting, the out of focus image makes it impossible to watch

[@delticman]

I use a nikon d3200 with a 18-55mm lens couldn't really use tripod as there were a fair few people at the event, none the less thanks for the feedback I'll try and rectify it in due course

[@auster120]

@@delticman well, aparently the camera is not suitable to shoot in interiors, autofocus does not follow, may I suggest that you switch to GoPro? It includes video stabilization, and autofocus (or no focus at all, I do not know its internals)

[@stuartdixon747]

Why don't you take your video camera and make a film if you are so much more accomplished?

[@whispofwords2590]

dude. Stfu. Why are you people so particular about nonsense like that? These guys have undertaken a herculean task in constructing two brand new mainline steam engines; engines that will serve one of if not the most extensive heritage line in the UK, and you're worried about a camera...
