The LBSC probably had the largest concentration of beautiful locos out of all the pre- grouping railways. The E4 is one of the best.

[@twonkfieldrailways4110]

I think the popularity of the 0-6-2 wheel arrangement is because it has most of the advantages of a 0-6-0 tank with a little extra space to cram more in so the coal and cab can be carried on the pony truck and you can have a bigger firebox and longer boiler or simply just give it a big bunker and the loco still doesn't struggle to go round bends as the wheel base isn't so fixed. I think this is why it was so popular for both London suburban services and welsh coal trains. I think the paint finish is most likely the paint being a slight gloss as opposed to matt or satin which contray to rivet counters belief make the locos look plastic, locos are made of metal and painted gloss so they should look shiny. Great video by the way

[@SamsTrains]

Very interesting point - yeah that makes perfect sense, bet you're right! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@HM...333]

God, LBSC Umber is wonderful (probably even better than Improved Engine Green).Especially on the E4, one of my favourite tank engines (which I have never sadly sat in a train pulled by one, because Birch Grove has been awaiting an overhaul for ages).

[@johnd8892]

Thanks for drawing attention to the great price for this more recent Bachmann loco. The 0-6-2 tank engine was also popular with Hornby Dublo being their first tank engine back in 1938. They made LNER, GWR, LMS and Southern versions but never called it an N2 in any of their literature. More freelance by their standards. Wrenn did call it an N2 when they took over the tooling. The current Hornby is based on the early eighties Airfix GMR designed model but taken over by Mainline.

[@joshuapboston1999]

This has just become the influence of a complete redesign of a Thomas OC I have had in mind for our theater director, who is leaving us after this semester concludes in May. I call her Francesca the Theater Engine. Originally, it was going to be a completely original design, combining elements from American and British railways together... but this proved to be absolute rubbish. After seeing this review, I went on making the OC look so much better and cleaner by simply adding the face on the smokebox, nameplates from smokebox to boiler, adding a 1 in front of the 579, and adding a small badge underneath the LBSC insignia. I must say that this model and engine is an absolute masterpiece. If only I had the supplies for an actual face for the smokebox door and other things I have on it...

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic to hear that - good luck with the project mate! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

I have an example of this locomotive which i have weathered to working condition in a goods figuration. As a part of this weathering I usually dust the coal load with actual, fine ground, coal. Nothing looks more realistic and a fine dusting of this onto the Bachmann coal load makes for just right in my eyes.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh that sounds fantastic - bet this does look great with a bit of weathering actually! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@iceeblueburst03]

Interested to see a rereview of this locomotive! The E4 shape always kinda reminds me of what Thomas looks like, especially the splashes on the front wheel as well as the dome, and rear.

On the topic of paint finishes, I believe it's the type enamel they use for the top coat. Some are glossy(dealership shine) and some are applied just to hold everything in to give a brushed metal type look(more realistic).

4.54 Cab roofs were often made of wood planks overlaid with canvas. This was then waterproofed with several coats of white lead -- cheap and effective -- to fill the pores of the canvas and kill off dry-rot funghi. Naturally it didn't stay white very long, but not many passengers are going to check out the loco's cab roof. For the same reason, most nineteenth-century coach roofs were also white, to start with at least. If you want that just-out-of-the-workshop look to go with that magnificent livery, white it is.

To answer you're question about Terriers and the Royal Train. The Isle of Wight was home to Queen Victoria during her latter years, she would stay at Osborne House, which did have a station connection just up the road from it (Cowes station). The Cowes & Newport Railway, (Later part of the I.W.C) did purchase quite a few LB&SCR Terriers, and they were used to operated the route between, Newport & Cowes. So there is actually chance historically speaking, that a Terrier could have hauled the Royal Family to Cowes, and to many other places like Whippingham for sunday mass, at St Mildred's. Hope the trivia was interesting, great video as always, would be nice for Bachmann to pull the stick out of their back ends and reproduce the E4 as it was on of their all time best sellers. and very stable selling too.
