Keeping You In The Loop: Lion - The engine is back in!

Lion is one step closer to roaring once again! In this episode we watch the moment when the main generator was lifted back in including talking to a few of the group and Tony Middleton from the class 50 alliance!

hi there,great to see progress on Lion. hope engine oil has been changed.will come down to see it

[@Wavewatcher1699]

In my capacity as speaker for the elves of the Alps I would like to pass on the following message; we are very much looking forward to dancing and singing along with the illuminations trains although they do keep us up past our bedtime! It's exciting to see what it's like inside a Lion, we've never been inside a Lion but it's not how we imagined and we are very pleased that you've cleaned its insides just in case. We are also looking forward to seeing Lion running again as it's one of those locos whose noise makes our hair stand on end.

There's been a lot of progress on those engines, not to long now. Thanks for posting....

[@class50thrasher]

I have NO clue if you'll be able to answer this but, when will the test starting of Lions motor be? I would like to attend that and film it if possible! Might be in the area Sunday so please let me know if you can!

[@Mr.NeilOfficial]

yes! been waiting for lions overhaul to progress *more* a long time! (well more like fixing)

Choice between a merchant and a hoover. I think I would take the merchant, but it’s a close call.

[@Schools925Cheltenham]

Also, is something going on with 41312. At illuminations the other night the boiler was out on a flat bed and on this it's cab roof is off.

[@daystatesniper01]

Coop-oration is the way forward

[@tuppyglossop222]

It's great that Lion's interior got a good going over, but why not run an oily rag over the engine while you had it out? I looked a bit tatty putting it back into the pristine engine room.

[@nick-c]

Who's that in the distinguished-looking grey and white suit at 0:33?

[@jakobrebeki]

Oh he owns the place🙂....

[@TheSorub]

[@mental_gren131]

Is there any update on the BR Standard 4 75079?

[@steadynumber1]

Aah, not the Lion of Titfield Thunderbolt fame then !

[@Mr.NeilOfficial]

i though so too at the start lol

[@Liam199Mcgrath]

Did Lion ever run on the mainline after she went into preservation?

[@williamtacey7770]

41312 LMS Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T be repairing before comes back to steam again Canadian Pacific could be returning in service beginning of March 2025

[@jahat_92115Barry]

I've heard 41312 has been taken out of service early due to its boiler ticket nearly running out so there just going to do a 10 year rebuild

Possibly best you find a presenter/narrator (U.C. Up The Front) that hasn’t got a speech impediment. I know this is only KZbin but do come along. You wouldn’t hire a drummer without any arms now, would you?
