SOLE SLIP: North British Railway 'C' class No 673 'Maude'

[@steamgent4592]

There is a good book called "footplate memories of the LNER" Maude makes several appearances in the book which is about a Railwayman who starts as a lad for the LNER as a cleaner finishing his career as a Superintendent. Apparently she was based at St Margaret's shed for sometime and some others he worked at. It was funny she seemed to follow him around all the way to the end of his career!

[@TheBallastMan]

I know that from 1929 she was one of the few goods engines that was based at Haymarket until 1963 it seems then based at Dalry Road till 64 and then at Bathgate till 66

[@richturnermusic]

"His few benefitted the many." Nice one.

[@paullawrence6926]

A brilliant loco, can't wait to get the Hornby model

[@oldwarriorproductions8411]

I wonder if he might be doing a Sole Slip on The Flying Bufferbeam. I like to know more about that unbelievably short and low tank engine

[@marshallman7608]

I started on the footplate with BR in 1980 and volunteered to fire steam locos for something different to do. Fired Maude many times on the SRPS Santa Specials around the Edinburgh suburban line in the early '80s.

[@BritanniaPacific]

Once again, nineteenth century era locomotives surviving well into the British railways era is a milestone that no other locomotive can achieve.

[@josephmarrison4606]

Glad that has been preserved. The J36s do look good.

[@josephbroom829]

Thanks for covering this class. I personally would love to see this loco returned to steam

[@liquidtompls5666]

The J36s are some of the best good engines i have ever seen

[@kingorry7223]

Good luck trying to fit that on the splasher!!

[@brad2799]

Lovely Sole SLIP, Chris. This loco sure is a beauty.

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

Ah yes! I was hoping we'd see more of those beautiful one-of-a-kind Scotch engines on here. Very good coverage of these engines. Perhaps the Jones Goods will appear someday? The full name on 'Maude' somewhat reminds me of "Laura Alice Duff Ashton Smith" of the Snowdon Mountain Railway

[@pollygardiner5669]

Isn't that the same Laura Alice Duff Ashton Smith that plummeted down the mountain, leaving only the wheels?

[@richardharrold9736]

Scotch is whisky! Anything else is Scottish.

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

@@richardharrold9736 Aw dear - I typed this on mobile, must've auto-corrected for some reason.

[@Gordons1888]

Bah I always miss you, you always seem to go to the places I go just weeks after

[@ScotSteam47]

Funny to think I walk the path where she blasted through. Shopping in a Co-Op where she did her work ❤

[@Evsta101]

I've ridden on trains behind Maude many times, fantastic engine! So glad to see it covered by your good self (selves when you include the crew.;P )

[@Spud607]

Please make another trip to ireland. You will get so many sole slips AND a few episodes of 'Death' while your over! 😂😂

[@KameronCousin]

This was wonderful Chris. Great job. :) 👍

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Series 4 outtakes ...please!!!

[@southjerseyboy2844]

Nice love these little 0-6-0 tender engines

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

This Loco appeared in the 2000 version of The Railway Children.

[@SaltyVan]

“And then there’s Maude”

[@keithtanner2806]

Maude took part in the 150th Anniversary of Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1980 and I managed to get shots of her at Victoria Station Manchester when she arrived at midnight prior to the event. I commented on a website that she exited the station wreathed in steam ruining my multi-flash lit shot only to have a response from the fireman on board at the time! 😆 Small World.

[@dylanmay3335]

MAUDE was used in the 2000 film The Railway Children.

[@NathanielKempson]

Pretty sure that was the Chattham C Class. XD

[@NathanielKempson]

I stand corrected. I always thought it was the Wainwright C class

[@ChristheXelent]

They were both used in the 2000 remake of The Railway Children. Maude was loaned out to the Bluebell for the filming

[@richardharrold9736]

@@ChristheXelent I remember riding behind it that year - was it at Giants of Steam? Or was that the GoS when they had 92 Squadron visiting to partner with the newly outshopped Blackmoor Vale? Anyway, the J36 did see some public use, she was around for some weeks if not months.

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

It's good seeing another pre-grouping scottish engine.

[@scottholding8471]

Cool

[@JayTheFox99]

I thought this was a new video, but it was published in 2018. How come I didn't see it before?

[@russellgxy2905]

That's...Maude's full name... Holy shit, no wonder it's just Maude.

[@Idkjustgothere]

Beautiful loco!

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Beautiful locomotive

[@nathanchan4653]

Maude: Och, stuffed in a museum. At least Ah don’t need mah happy truck anymore.

[@class_31clag]

Wonder where bread box is nowadays?

[@class_31clag]

From the Q&A Does Maude like talking to visitors or does he snarl at children and wish he could shunt out of the museum

[@connormclernon26]

Will you be doing a sole slip on the Prince of Wales when they’re finished?

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

It's not gonna be a Sole Slip as there's gonna be two new Gresely P2s, the new build 'Prince of Wales' and a replica of class pioneer 'Cock O' The North' with an A4-Styled bugatti nose.

[@connormclernon26]

Mister Tterevel being honest, not sure how likely that second one is to be fully completed. As he noted, there have been projects that made progress and then failed

[@FutureRailProductions]

@@connormclernon26 I'm still waiting on the one for Tornado. While not built by the original builders it was named as genuine 50th member of the Class by it's designers wife. That should be more than enough to classify as a sole slip.

[@brad2799]

FutureRail Productions Yeah but considering it’s use for 10 years at many locations yet a Sole SLIP not approaching. Or he’s just going to do it when Tornado’s ticket expires and she’s on display.

[@jimmymccartney2049]

Year built:1891

[@DarkLordSauron100]

Hmmm, ever thought of doing a sole slip of Chinese Railways KF? Since there's one in the NRM? Just a suggestion *whistles*

[@stirlingno.1296]

Came here from Auld Lang Syne...even though that series has disappeared from the face of KZbin.

[@class_31clag]

Oh it's back all right lad

[@class_31clag]

Worth a look😃

[@stirlingno.1296]

@@class_31clag Ah, yeah, glad to see it’s been revived for the time being.

[@steamie98]

Hey uh i made a video that uses some of your footage and audio ( i will credit you when uploaded) but u wanted to know if you would please give me permission to upload said video. It’s quite funny but I don’t know if i will get in trouble for making it.

[@jimmytapley8464]

Does anyone think that a mini series of individual locos that have yet to be restored to working/cosmetic condition would be any good?

[@TinkyWinkyUK]

It look like Donald and Douglas

[@patrickwamsley3284]

Is there any information or videos on the Chinese 4-8-4 or 4-8-2 I believe I've seen in the national collection? I find it a very attractive looking engine but can't find much on it.

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

Can you do a Sole SLIP on the only LSWR/SR King Arthur no. 777 'Sir Lamiel'?

[@drdewott9154]

Hey I just noticed, you're SLIP episode on Austerities is no longer available. I just went back to try and rewatch it and, apparently it's a private video now. Is there a reason why?

[@ChristheXelent]

Yes, there is. The reason why the Austerities video is no longer on KZbin is because it has passed its free period. I tend to keep the four latest episodes of SLIPs free at any-one-time before they end up on DVD or as Digital Downloads from the online shop in the description. The Austerities is now on the Volume Four DVD and available on its own as a Digital Download. I hope this helps.

[@CoalChrome]

That was the name of the first American Mallet, instead of a T1, why not reproduce her?

[@class_31clag]

Peter, shut up Auld Lang syne humour

[@wshr1032]

This is a great video but I wish it talked a bit Maude’s history

[@shockwavethescientist8400]

Can you do maeve next

you should do stepney next

[@SSSVergil]

Not a sole survivor
