Guide Rail returns! Please see the intro for an update. This month we're doing another complete history of another Terrier, Poplar of the Kent and East Sussex Railway/Terrier Trust. In June 2022 the loco spent a week away in London at Poplar DLR depot, which is a big change for the rural life it's had.

Crazy how both Thomas and Polar were numbered 70, from the same railway, and were blue at some point.

[@Poplar70bodiam]

I bet ya when Thomas the adventure begin awdry was getting mad over the lore

[@Jade2781]

@@Poplar70bodiamwhat are you talking about

[@vickielawless]

Brilliant little locos! I bet even Stroudley didn't dream they'd reach 150 years.. Can't wait for the Fenchurch story, she's my personal favourite.

[@spankflaps1365]

Terriers have the perfect proportions, like the Midland Compound, and Gresley A3.

[@SalmanMentos]

MORE TERRIERS PLEASE

[@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment]

I missed the premier due to work, but like... Thanks to that one clip it is now my official head canon that Stepney is a Timelord.... And also a TARDIS... But that's what you get when sentient machines are brought into the mix!

[@GeorgeLowther2000]

Happy 150th Birthday to all Terriers Everywhere!

[@PennsyPappas]

What I find funny is that not only did the Terrier design serve for 91 years total (which of course is just insane) but also tht technically speaking if you go by the Modeling Era chart the Terriers date back to the tail end of the Pioneering era all the way to Era 5 the Late BR Steam crest. That just goes to show how long these things were in service. Heck they saw Queen Victoria's reign all the way to Queen Elizabeth II. Id like to be able to see them in person someday but for now these videos will suffice.

[@GreatWestern5199]

I loved your jokes about the LBSCR names 🤣

[@nikesb9420]

“Then it was drawn and worn out… also like me” yeah man same

[@brenlc1412]

1:47 Rusty to the rescue, but Stepney didn't like bluebells.

[@sandyman1533]

"Bluebells FOREVER"

[@NitroIndigo]

The way you anthropomorphise engines is so endearing.

[@ajaxengineco]

I've got Hornby's take on 'Rolvenden'. I find it interesting to think - we may not have 'Poplar' to-day if it was not for 'Rolvenden' sacrificing parts, or maybe, if that Southern Railway fitter who worked on 'Bodiam' in his spare time in the 30s, had picked her sister to restore, we may be looking at the 150th birthday of 'Wapping' at a different TfL station.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Surreal to think, and wonder what they'd make of how it's lived on.

[@ajaxengineco]

@@Terrier55Stepney I imagine the chap who rescued her that far-off day in the 30's would be very pleased that the engine he returned to service was still being cared for over 90 years later - and somehow I think Col. Stephens is proud that one of his engines is still in working order (even if she isn't painted his colour!) I would make an assumption as to Stroudley's thoughts, but if I get it wrong he might reach down with his umbrella and clart me on the head!

[@dansterland1824]

Beautiful little engine thought it was Stepney for a moment 😃😃

[@zorielloperena6398]

This is why my favorite engine class are the terriers .

[@sandyman1533]

When will part 3 of fenchruch come out

[@SalmanMentos]

Maybe when next anniversary

[@southwregion450]

First!!!!! This'll be epic and it was!

[@thepoltroon992]

well done Max, another great story about a Terrier. cheers :)

[@Dynamo_11]

Boxhill and poplar my faverout terriers

[@Tugsboi47]

Stepney and boxhill are mine

[@nikesb9420]

Fenchurch and rolvendon are my favourite

[@MrFazz84]

Thank you, great video, my mum took me all places as a child like the east lancs railway, howarth and more but I haven't been anywhere like that for years but if I catch wind of a heritage train passing through Rainhill (the Rainhill trials) I try to be at Rainhill station or the 77 step bridge when the train passes through

[@GNRA1GreatNorthern1470]

nice, i saw poplar at the blue bell railway on holiday

[@danielxu5881]

BLUEBELLS FOREVER

[@SlateTruck]

3:12 Took me a minute, ngl 🤣

[@ciala51]

I hope I can visit

[@svsmodelling2857]

Great video! Very interesting!

[@TST895]

i love this this channel and how much you care for stepney you earned a sub

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you! Enjoy your stay.

[@sudrianrailwaystudios676]

Great video, Max!

[@babafisi8135]

Poplar is number 70 on the LBSC list of terriers, In the Thomas movie "The adventure begins", We see Thomas in his original LBSC livery, and he has a number 70 on his bunker. Coincidence? I think NOT!!!

[@SPG69]

What if Thomas was a terrier

[@Poplar70bodiam]

Thomas wouldn’t dislike Stepney as much if he was a Terrier

[@edwardvincentbriones5062]

(humming “Move Over Darling” while watching this video)

[@joshuaW5621]

Poplar’s story is probably the most interesting out of the terriers.

[@joshslater2426]

True, alongside Stepney and Boxhill. I might also mention Thames as it went missing and apparently set a speed record.

[@OliversRailwayModelling]

You should upload these onto sound cloud as an audio book or something like that

[@randombelugaman]

VIDEO IDEA: What if the isle of Sodor was Real?

[@ReubenAshwell]

A brilliant video and very fascinating to hear about terriers that existed before Stepney. :)

[@welcometoplushworld2984]

Yes

[@SlateTruck]

3:09 So true lmao. Another great video!

[@axtonhaltjoshua6361]

do a guide rail on fenchurch

[@Living_Life_RN]

She looks great, but please say they’re taking her back to her Bodiam blue livery. It really does make her stand out as different from the rest.

[@that-D.T.S.-bloke]

So many terrier’s now in improved engine green soon max you wouldn’t tell the difference between Stepney or Fenchurch

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

Oh they would because Fenchurch is in his prior rebuild state.

[@that-D.T.S.-bloke]

@@JosephRailwayStudios2000yeah they both have different states I was trying to make a joke

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

@@that-D.T.S.-bloke okay.

[@joshslater2426]

Something seriously needs to be done about this. There are about 5 terriers (+ Gladstone) currently in Improved Engine Green. Sadly there are none in Marsh Umber, or any other interesting liveries. For example, Freshwater is in southern green but once wore LSWR Mint and Chocolate, which is a far less common livery.

While watching this i am eating chicken pie

[@upwellonwards7373]

fantastic video mate and mind if i ask if i use a link to this video in my terrier 150th video?

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you! Of course not, go right ahead. Thanks for asking.

[@dalekinthewater4708]

01:50 Wait is the Chameleon Circuit working again?

[@Poplar70bodiam]

It’s me

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

0:50 where is this It looks like the three road set from Thomas but real

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Berwyn Station, Llangollen Railway. One of the prettiest stations I know.

[@TobyAndThomas]

We like trains

[@almostkentish3042]

When I found out she was set to return in IEG, I soon spread the news to the other young volunteers, who were horrified to learn the long-awaited engine they'd heard so much about was going to be 'brown'. Needless to say, I agreed with their hopes for it to gain a new colour soon, if only for my own selfish hopes of seeing the return of K&ESR Green!

[@JRS06]

Marsh Umber is the best LBSC livery.

[@brendanhanley2741]

I own a model of bodaim so technically I own a model of Poplar
