The chassis of a DX survived into the 1960s as a stationary engine at Sheep Pasture Incline on thr Cromford & High Peak Railway.

[@luisarts1870]

What happened to it

[@steveparrish1112]

​@@luisarts1870it was used as a winding engine on an incline on the line. It survived into the early 60s, when it was superceded by an electric winder and scrapped. A DX boiler was used elsewhere on the the line until about 1963 and then scrapped. If they'd survived another 10 years, who knows what would've happened...?

[@boxcarwillies1603]

The DX goods is certainly an interesting class of locomotive. It’s a shame none were preserved, but at the same time I understand why the LMS didn’t need excessive 0-6-0’s after the Midland 4Fs

[@bertmeinders6758]

The 4Fs had the same valve events and bearing areas as the original Midland 0-6-0s, and hated going fast. The DXs might have urvived longer if the LMS hadn't been all-Derby.

[@boxcarwillies1603]

@@bertmeinders6758 Not really. The DX's were even older than the Midland 4F's, and nowhere near as powerful

[@JRS06]

Nice painting. I'm fascinated by the DX Goods and how not one single example survived. If they ever make a replica, they should keep it green.

[@mikestudioz216]

Chris really gives off a lot of Bob Ross vibes when he does painting vids

[@profcraneporter]

Chris: Continuing to use the Adams Radial as the approximate of power for all weak/less powerful locomotives since the 14xxs 😂 Jokes aside, really pretty painting Chris. Very nice followup to Anthony Dawson's video on the Bloomers

[@anoxylitol]

we'll put it on the fridge, chris. that way we'll get to see it every day

[@greatsmokymtnsrailfan]

Awesome work! Nice meeting you at Cass!

[@ryguygaming06]

These "Paint Your Engine" videos have inspired me to pick up the brushes again, and i managed to make a pretty good (in my opinion) painting of a loco from a hertiage railway near me (South Simcoe Railway #136, if you were wondering.) Thanks for the inspiration, Chris!

Finally catching up on these, there seems to be a widespread misinterpretation regarding the "Coal Tanks". They were in fact 0-6-2T versions of the "Coal Engines", not the "Cauliflowers". The "Cauliflowers" were essentially tender versions of the "Watford Tanks", also an 0-6-2T, but using the same components.

On this episode of Chris Eden-Green Paints:

[@joshuaW5621]

Love watching this

[@westinbridges7321]

Hey Chris! If you can, perhaps try painting one of these: 1. LNWR Whale Experiment Class 2.LNWR 19in Express Goods Class 3. LNWR Whale Precursor Class 4. LNWR Precursor Tank Class 5. LNWR Renown Class I love the LNWR and I'd love to see more engines from this little railway.

[@wagrtrains]

wow chris your paintings are getting much better!

[@LindseyTate13]

This Is Super Pretty, I love it so much!

[@exveefan]

Kind of sad you didn't mention that one of their cousins still exists today here in Australia.

[@Brianrockrailfan]

awesome paint your engine 🚂👍🚃

[@flyer3849]

we had one DX goods as a test engine here in Sweden

[@edwardvincentbriones5062]

great painting! But LMS 6256 has a more tragic history, especially for enthusiasts

[@mels1811]

Awesome video Chris

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

Can you do a painting on the GWR's Only Pacific, No. 111 'The Great Bear'?

[@JRS06]

That would be good.

[@johnd8892]

No mention that 943 were built making it the most numerous class of UK locomotives. Also this number achieved when the total locomotives in service was well before the peak locomotive numbers in service were reached. To quote Wikipedia: The class has been described as ‘the earliest example of standardization and mass productions of locomotives on a large scale and ‘a remarkable instance of standardisation at a time when most railways had many different classes, each class with only few engines. A much more sensible approach than what most railways were doing at the time and took quite a while to grasp the benefits of standardisation. The design of an 1858 locomotive held up much better than others of the time and should be judged of the time they were built as they did not have time machines to use designs from the future. Also understand they were designed to be cost effective in the tasks needed. This being much more useful than a much more expensive show pony of marginal gains if at all. I find criticism of them to not have much credibility.

[@TheGWR0-4-0]

Hey Chris, i don’t know if you take suggestions/ideas but perhaps a Gauge The Issue on the possibility of Rail200 may be a good idea? Its not too far off, though I can’t find anything concrete about it, and many locomotives that were in Rail150 may not be able to steam again. It would be nice though for such a significant occasion. But hey, just an idea.

[@upwellonwards7373]

beautiful painting chris far better than anthing i can do

[@mels4796]

wonderful video Chris

[@MarkAShaw64]

3:20 I thought there were 365 days in a year. Your research department has failed. 😊

[@rastewart100]

Actually, the 365th day is snow.

[@Arturobrito0502]

And i though you hated these engines...

[@nathanchan4653]

So Chris Eden Green paints a picture of his least favourite British standard gauge steam locomotive….. At least he doesn’t have “colourful” words about them in real life as none were preserved or survived in 1930s

[@Jimboliah3985]

The LB&SCR E2s were his least favorite.

[@JRS06]

@@Jimboliah3985 I like both those engines.
