When I was a child around 8 years old in 1965 in Canada, I received a clockwork train for Christmas. This included a 4 wheeled locomotive painted in Royal Green with black details and yellow pinstriping. It was made completely of painted sheet steel. Very beautiful, as I recall. And it had a large clockwork key. Also a set of track about 1-1/2 inches wide, as I recall. And two coaches, painted green, yellow and black. My sister and I had so much fun with this trainset, giving Barbie and GI-Joe rides on the train. And creating imaginary worlds with plastic cows, pigs and horses at the side of the track :-)

[@InkblotHyena]

I've been to the NRM twice. I couldn't quite see Mallard, as I believe it was taking part in 'The Great Goodbye' during my time there.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh sorry to hear that - still it's a great place, with or without Mallard! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@MayoHosko]

Oh just seeing mallard on the turntable inside the shed of the national railway museum gives me goosebumps. She looks so beautiful in that LNER Gresley blue

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh I know - it's just superb isn't it?? :3 Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Alright, not to put a fine point on it, but in the overhead shots (8:00 - 9:00) where the pub is in view, out back it appears a chap when off for a relief but passed out on his face. Every time I see it I want the bloke put upright. Anyway, another fine video. Great idea mixing in the train museum. G.B. owns train history. And rules with still working steam. Thanks for sharing...

[@SamsTrains]

haha well spotted! He's since been picked up and sent to hospital! Glad you enjoyed it mate, much appreciated! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@iceeblueburst03]

My favorite locomotives you showed for this National Railway Museum running session is the Q1, Flying Scotsman, 9F Evening Star, and Mallard. :D

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh great choices there - some of my favourites too for sure! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Awesome Sam! I think the NRM is a show off! They should return these beautiful and famous locos to service!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Ryno! haha yeah I agree - it'd be great if they did that! Cheers, Sam :)

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Your welcome! Yeah who cares about money! Cheers, Ryno :)

[@thepope1332]

Used to visit the nrm so often - it's what got me into model railways

[@SamsTrains]

That's great to hear - I'm not surprised though, it's a fantastic museum! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TheSharkKing45]

In Book 35 of The Railway Series, some of the NRM members are shown, Mallard, Duchess of Hamilton, Iron Duke, Green Arrow, a replica of The Rocket, and the honorary member NWR No.1 ex - LBSCR E2(x) "Thomas"

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh awesome - I'll have to look at that book, thanks for letting me know! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@jurassicsmackdown6359]

I would bite off my own big toe if it meant i could visit this museum!! I've never seen a steam locomotive in person, let alone such magnificent machines as these ❤

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh I hope you can visit one day mate - it is lovely!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@evelyn185]

i went to the NRM when i was 7 and apparently blew their minds, giving them every little detail about Mallard and the speed record haha. would love to go again now 7 years on, i don't have many memories of the place

[@SamsTrains]

haha that's amazing - I could do with you for my video research!! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@johncarvil498]

Great running session Sam........................John.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks John - much appreciated mate! Cheers, Sam :)

[@terrycharleslewis7565]

Sam, a super little "sesh" there mate, has to be the beautiful Crimson Lake of the LMS for me, striking colour indeed. Suggestion- how about a double header running session???

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Terry - oh yeah that one is striking! Yes I love that idea - I'll definitely try to do that soon! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@dinowhizz444]

I love the national railway museum. It is such a great place! I have been there quite a few times, I think around 12 times. It never gets old. Great video as always!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate - me too, such a great museum - wow 12 times, that's very awesome! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@soulbabe79]

46235 City of Birmingham is preserved and is in Birmingham in a museum, i noticed how 46235, 6229 & 6233 are all in red .

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic! At least she's still preserved then!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@lastationproductions]

Love this If I ever come to Britian the Railway museum is a place I want to go to

[@brickswithbreakwell9210]

I went in October 2019 and I had my picture with the real Stephensons rocket :) I absolutely love trains and locomotives and have been to railways all around Britain. -Oliver-

[@SamsTrains]

OOh lucky you - it's awesome isn't it?? Thanks for sharing! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@111greatbear3]

6000 King George V has been a NRM resident along with 3440 City of Truro plus 4003 Lode Star

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh cool, thanks for letting me know! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@robkleinherenbrink5690]

10:10 in Total, 9 9Fs are preserved( in various states of condition Butt most of them are operational)

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh nice - glad to hear there were so many!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ewaeesmachines693]

I've got an 09 class diesel shunter in the NRM livery. I did a video on it earlier

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh awesome - I'll be sure to check that out later!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@daniel14duck33]

I’ve never been to the National Railway Museum but I would love to go there one day and I love this running section great video

[@SamsTrains]

Awesome mate - I can definitely well recommend it! :D Glad you liked it, Cheers, Sam :)

[@LHoriginal]

I love the N.R.M. i know someone who worked there (he is a supply teacher that went to my school) his favourite loco from the N.R.M is 9f evening star

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah me too - and that's very awesome, can't beat the 9F either! :D Happy New Year, Sam :)

[@JamesSmithStudios]

Cool Idea Sam! I’ve been to the NRM twice! It’s really Great!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot James - that's good to hear, it is a great place! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@hoodeddominoes9792]

Somehow I’ve been about 30 times

[@trainman07011]

Great video. It's on my bucket list to see the NRM and to tour York and the midlands. Might have to convince the wife to let me go alone, she is too scared of the plane!

[@SamsTrains]

Oh fantastic Andrew, hope you get to go one day! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@malvernroadrailway6955]

I really like the 9f it’s a great peace of engineering

[@JJTis]

I've seen the flying scotsman at NRM it was in the north shed in repair

[@SamsTrains]

I saw her too - that's very cool! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@ryanross3640]

That photo is pretty cool, its from the A4 reunion, notice the 6 A4s, 2 (dominion of Canada and Dwight D. Eisenhower) are in north america and the other 3 run on the mainline (Bittern, Union of South Africa, and Sir Nigel Gresley), which is something that is never going to happen again. So nice to see them all together, but only Mallard really resides in the museum. Really wish they would run it!

[@NorbertRoll]

Great video with several of the most beautiful preserved locos.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Norbert - glad you thought they were beautiful :3 Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@georgetimperley8906]

I read on rail roport that the original stepsons rocket Is going to live at the national railway museum

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah a couple of other people mentioned that too - I had no idea that was the case!!!! D: Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@robmasterman]

Another wonderful running session Same, and thanks to your expert skills, every one of these different locos from different manufacturers running perfectly, and a joy to watch...Regards...Bob

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much Bob - yeah it's a lot of work keeping everything maintained, but I thoroughly enjoy it, and it's well worth it! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@LaZeRJET]

Great Video Once again Sam Great Work and at 7:26 Love the 9F and i have drove and Fired Her aswell Again Great Video.... Fom Oliver :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Lazer - yes I saw the clip you posted of that - it's so awesome right?? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@nicky8895]

LaZeR JET hi Oliver

[@crawstonejunction9817]

Hi LaZeR

[@loganjacksonmichaeljackson6291]

LaZeR JET I'm subscribed to both of u guys lol

[@Spud607]

LaZeR JET #selfpromtion XD I wouldn't like to be the poor bloke firing a coronation up the lickey incline XD

[@BryPrime917]

Definitely love the Q1, it is overall my favorite locomotive of all time!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Bryan - I can definitely see why, I'm a huge fan of those too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@trevorsowerby3060]

Hi! Sam, well thanks for a great video. It was really nice to see the different regional trains running. All the beautiful locos all played a great part in the railways history, and it's always great to see them remembered. The nephews are going to love this video, so once again Sam, a very big thank you.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Trevor, glad you enjoyed this for a change! That's good to hear - hope everyone enjoys it! Cheers, Sam :)

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

0:33 thats the most realistic hornby mallard ive seen

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh yeah - they are superb!! :D

[@elltrains]

What a wonderful running session!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@chipbandit0540]

This is a cool idea can you try other railways, like a series!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Fin! Yes I may well try some others, if this goes down well! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Geardproductions]

I would really like to see that! I would love it!

[@robinbrowne5419]

Yes. Agreed 👍

[@gregdone8586]

The National Railway Museum really is impressive. I loved it the last time I went there, and I love the collection you had running in this video. I'd say the Star Class is probably my favourite of them all. However, I think Lode Star was actually the 4th of her class. No. 4000 North Star actually takes credit for being the first, or at least I think so. Anyway, fantastic video, Sam. Keep it up!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Greg - yeah I'm a big fan too! Oh yes the Star is fantastic - I stand corrected then, she's not the first! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@thomasfune3383]

Great job. I have been to the National Railway Museum in 2014.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate! Ooh lucky you - did you have a good time?? :3 Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@thomasfune3383]

Sam'sTrains I enjoy

[@stashyjon]

Nice vid Sam By the way City of Birmingham has been preserved in the Museum of Science and Industry in Birmingham, but in her final condition without the streamlining. In BR blue if I recall.(Not been there for a few years mind) Fav for me was the Deltic, took me back to my trainspotting days on the ECL at Hadleigh Wood in North London in the late 70's when they were still in service. Idea - A Bluebell Railway session. A great excuse to run Terriers, Adams Radials, the Dukedog, etc!! Jon

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Jon - ooh that's very interesting, I had no idea that one was preserved! Glad you enjoyed the Deltic, and great idea with the Bluebell, I will look into that! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@bendavis6121]

I Love the National Railway Museum and great video Sam'sTrains.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Ben - me too, it's awesome! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@bendavis6121]

You are welcome.

[@nigelcarter9503]

Great idea, Sam. NRM is a great place to visit. I have been. I could not see everything they had, I could have been there for 2 days. It is also free to get in. Peter Waterman owes a 9F. Great video, Sam. Keep it going, great format.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Nigel - I know, it really is a vast place!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@miscellaneous.7127]

I love the NRM! I've been there every year since I was born. :)

[@SamsTrains]

Oh wow lucky you - I didn't know you'd been so often!! D: Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@kristineal1147]

I went to the national railway museum last year, and I got to see my favorite loco of all time, evening star it was absolutely awesome I also saw mallard and all the other a4s and the duchess of Hamilton and the q1

[@SamsTrains]

Really glad you were able to go - Evening star is amazing isn't it!? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@oliversmith5415]

I love his video Sam!!!!!!! I've been to the NRM many a time!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Oliver, that's great to hear - it's such a good museum! Cheers, Sam :)

[@NurseNoodles67]

Great video Sam! I just love to sit down and relax while watching your running sessions. My favorites in the running session would be the Q1, the Crab, and the Class 55. I know it’s a lot but I can’t choose a favorite! Haha. Keep up the great work Sam!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate - really glad you enjoy these! Ooh yes, those really are super - especially the Q1! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@tomtative]

I’m going there for my Birthday, this summer! I have always wanted to go and my parents have finally agreed to take me! Thanks for the great taster, Sam! :)

[@SamsTrains]

Awesome! Have a great time - it is a fantastic museum! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@Owencr905]

Nice, I love the 9f and mallard of course, lovely engines. This was a good idea Sam! Keep up the good work :D

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate - ooh yes those are lovely! Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sam :)

[@radharamadevi]

Hey Sam you are absolutely brilliant 😁 at these locomotives stuff a lot to learn from these videos

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much! That's really kind of you to say! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@martincrampin8890]

Great video Sam. I've been to the NRM three times I think, and it's definitely worth it! My favourite locomotive would have to be the Star Class, or the GWR railcar.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Martin, very nice - definitely worth it for sure! Ahh good choice - those are both superb! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@greatwesternproductions2857]

lovely locos! without people like u we wouldn't have steamies today

[@SamsTrains]

You're very kind Harvey - I'm a big steamie fan too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@scs.modelrailway]

I went to the National Railway Museum last year for the first time. Boy, did I have a good time. I didn't want to leave.

[@1960dave1960]

I took my wife there in 2022, she hates the idea of any sort of museum……but ‘low and behold’ she absolutely loved it there….especially the Mallard…..my favourite has got to be The Duchess of Hamilton……

[@jakedarling7549]

Call me crazy but I'm thinking of pre-ordering the new streamlined coronation in blue from Hattons, £152 I think it was... Also those coaches are 2's, not 1's. 1's for steam era, 2's for late steam early diesels, 3's for HST and late diesels.

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh fantastic! I'm thinking about doing that too... let's hope it's good!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@DanielsModels]

You saying scrapped reminded me. My grandad and his best mate went over to Barry to save 80064 which today runs on the bluebell railway. It was the third engine to leave and be saved. Just thought i would share. Daniel

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh really? Sounds like he did a really good thing - thanks for sharing! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@yaboiithan]

14:41 A cow👌🏻😆♥️Its been a year ~Nice one sam🤧😆Love those beautiful locos, wishing someday i will go to the NRM, Im from PHILIPPINES btw👋🏻🙂 ~Josh here

[@SamsTrains]

haha thanks a lot Josh, appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@lewiscarty5517]

I love the National Railway Museum, one of my favourite places in the country. Definitely saw a lot of locomotives, definitely a lot more than I have ever seen in my life. There is another LMS Crab in the LMS livery, no. 13065 at the East Lancashire Railway near Manchester and the City Of Birmingham is preserved at a Science Museum in Birmingham somewhere. However, my favourite locomotive is GWR City Class, 3440 City Of Truro. The Rocket Replica was built in 1970 or something.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much Lewis - mine too, absolutely awesome! Ooh good choice on Truro - she's gorgeous! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@FlyingScotsmanFan]

Fantastic video Sam i have been going to the NRM almost yearly since i was about 5 when i first got into trains. I like the Mallard best but the Duchess of Hamilton is the most beautiful in my opinion. Again great vid Sam well done

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - ooh lucky you, it really is a fantastic place - and yeah those two do stand out! Cheers, Sam :)

[@kristineal1147]

I GOT BITTERN WITH 2 TENDERS, I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it runs super smooth as well, I also got a new dcc controller and some Pullman coaches for my tornado train, and some ocean wagons for the 9f, and some Bachmann tankers, and extra track, and the best is the Harry Potter hogwarts express train set from hornby, it’s awesome, Olten hall is my favorite gwr loco

[@SamsTrains]

That's amazing Kristi - really glad you're happy with it! Have a great time!! :D Merry Christmas, Sam :)

[@whiteheadmark]

i am in York and have been to NRM it is great, if you come to York on Mondays there is a guy in the York markets that sells 00 trains and wagons old and almost new ones at great prices , also check out Goji in Goodramgate for a great meal

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Mark - ooh really? That sounds great, I'd love to come see him! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@deksrailwayvideos3639]

Great video been nrm twice however a lot of the Scotsman overhaul/rebuild was carried out by Riley’s at baron street works on the East Lancashire Railway

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Dek - and thanks for the info on that, duly noted! Cheers, Sam :)

[@rogo23]

I can see the nrm from my house, I’ve been there at least a thousand times (literally), great vid mate, nice seeing so many familiar engines

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh that's awesome - what a great thing to have near by!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@thomashambly3718]

At the nrm at shildon, they have the oldest running engine in the UK. It is a Furness railway loco of the bury type, it does passenger runs on the track there, I'm going to barrow soon on holiday, the birthplace of Edward, coppernob, and number 20 (the running one).

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh really? I'd love to go and see that one - it sounds fantastic!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@JoshMallard96]

That’s a wonderful collection there mate, I love it there at the National Railway Museum in York, don’t worry about the wrong names and you haven’t got some of them who is at the NRM York if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing buddy cheers ... Josh

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate - yeah I thought as long as they looked the part, it'd be okay! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@lego_kitsune]

Been there twice and it’s awesome

[@SamsTrains]

Fantastic! It is awesome! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@ianhaynes5898]

Always like the Mallard, but from your selection today, the one I like best is the railcar. I will be on a train pulled by a real Merchant Navy class on Sunday, 'Clan Line' for me.

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh good choice Ian - yeah the Railcar is fantastic actually! Awesome - hope you have a great time! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@mrmike8782]

Sam:"alot of the steamers were scraped" Me:"just like silverlink;("

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah just like silverlink :(

[@KAHTHEOFFICIAL]

Lol

[@jurassicsmackdown6359]

It's a shame, such a beautiful thing to be scrapped

[@PercyfanJamestheredcollector]

Awesome job Sam

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you! :D

[@davidstrains4910]

Great video definitely one of the best places in the UK

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks David - I agree, it makes a fantastic day out! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@luisartss]

You gave the perfect idea For drawing some more engines i will do the ones of the NRM

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh awesome idea - good luck with them mate! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@marcod1600]

A York loco or not! Stil a amazing video! Good job Sam!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Marco - glad you thought so! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@LHoriginal]

i know I'm just nit picking but i noticed at 3:20 you said A3 flying scotsman but the one on the tracks is the A1 flying scotsman

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh yeah you're right - I stand corrected!! Happy New Year, Sam :)

[@reliantrailways]

6:10 please do more of these shots in the future, they are amazing!

[@SamsTrains]

haha thank you!! :D

[@morgantaylor5032]

Been there quite a few times because I live not too far away from York great place

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic - it really is a great place!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@meeeun7001]

I've been to the National Railway Museum a couple of times!

[@SamsTrains]

Very cool! It really is a great place! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@sarahclark5270]

My favourite loco is the Q1 because it is an austerity design and it is designed by Oliver bullied in 1942

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh good choice Sarah - yeah those really are superb! :3 Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@youandyouofficial1127]

What you may find as well is that a narrow gauge loco was the last steam loco ever built and was for Indonesian sugar plantations if I can remember right

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh of course, I bet there are many of those - but again, not built by British railways! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@youandyouofficial1127]

Oops sorry must of misheard you thanks for the reply

[@carolblanchett8975]

I've been there times it's amazing (Dutchess of Hamilton is my favourite train)

[@SamsTrains]

That's great to hear - I can see why you picked her! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@carolblanchett8975]

Plus great vid sam 😃

[@RailwayProductions-nd3tx]

A great choice of models! Big fan of the Star, despite it not being in GWR. Numerous BR 9F Preserved. Which one did you drive? Another well known one is 92202 I think. It's Crewe heritage centres one called "Black Prince" Don't know who you buy them all?! A nice to one have run would have been a Class 52 "Western".

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks matey - yeah the Star really is a lovely one! I drove No 92214 in the BR green! Ooh yes I've heard of Black Prince! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@RailwayProductions-nd3tx]

Sam'sTrains 92214! She's a nice one, especially in BR Green.

[@tornado-xg8jv]

I believe that flying Scotsman should be in the LNER apple green livery not Brunswick green the LNER livery is what everybody remembers

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I think you can't beat the LNER - let's hope she goes back to that soon! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@foxythefox5497]

Hi sam great video and keep up the good work

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Daniel - glad you enjoyed it! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@YrinnaRhaizaRibeiroSantos-j1e]

Mallard the A4 Class he is My Adoptive Cousin

[@ThyBluebell]

These locomotives are certainly some of the finest, absolutely beautiful. However there is something I’d like to about when you mentioned Stephenson’s rocket, (I assume you may already know) but in case you didn’t, They are now moving it to the NRM.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - really glad you thought so! Ahh are they really? I didn't know this - but that's great news! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@patrickwebb7311]

10:13 Ironically, according to Chris-Eden Green, there's 9 9F's in preservation, go figure! 12:14 I believe the Crab 13000 is the first of the class, I think that follows with the Midland Railway Practice of engines' classes being named after the number, sort of like how the GWR Castles are the 4073 class. Same for D8000, according to Wikipedia. Hope this helps. My favorite has to be the GWR Railcar or the Q1, with Flying Scotsman a close second. Speaking on the Railcar, I'd love to see you run it more. I've seen photos of a modified Railcar that had it's rear cab removed and hauled coaches. I think it'd look quite smart pulling GWR chocolate and cream coaches, and it'd be great to see it here, if you want of course. (But please don't try removing a cab! XD) Also, I've got a few video ideas like this. How about engines on the Bluebell Railway, including engines that were at the Bluebell Railway--so you could include the Q1 again--, maybe run a Bullied Unrebuilt Pacific, the P class, a Terrier, etc. Also, how about a running session with double headers of steam locomotives and their replacements, such as: An A4, or Flying Scotsman, with a Deltic, a Castle or 9F with a BR Class 35 Hymek/BR Class 52, a GWR Pannier with a BR Class 08 shunter, etc. Hope you like the ideas Sam, feel free to use or not use. :)

[@patrickwebb7311]

One last thing I forgot to mention: I wish the USA's NRM would restore steam locomotives, as they don't run anything that I know of. In fact, they tried to keep a locomotive, Milwaukee Road 261, from running due to a legal fight over who owned it! (The Friends of 261 won out thank goodness). I wish I could suggest you buy a model of 261, but they're SUPER expensive, the cheapest goes for nearly $350!! If you do see one for cheap, I think it might be cool to see on the railway. Cheers Sam!

[@SamsTrains]

Oh nice Patrick - more 9fs preserved than I thought! Thanks a lot for the info - and glad you liked the railcar, I really should run that more often! Awesome ideas mate - If this does okay, I'll do more like it! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@red5_skywalker]

19:52 Nice Toy Story bin at the left! All jokes aside, it was a great running session and I have to say the Crab and “Duchess of Hamilton” were my favourites. I’d love to see some more NRM locos in the future. - Red 🚂 Edit: Is that the correct spelling of Crab? I wasn’t sure if it was Crabbe or Crab.

[@SamsTrains]

haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it anyway mate - yeah I think those stand out for me too! Yeah it's Crab! Cheers, Sam :)

[@britishrailways4810]

I've also visited the National Railway Museum in Shildon.

[@SamsTrains]

Fantastic - was it good there?? :3 Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

sam you did this as close as you could great video :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Brian - much appreciated! :D

[@robertnicholson7192]

Sam, love those Triang locomotives. I watch them on Oscar Paisley’s channel, etc., and they seem to be as popular as ever. Bob Nicholson

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Bob - I love them too, always had a big soft spot for those! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Olivers-trains]

The Deltic is now in two tone green and has been for quite a few years

[@hoodeddominoes9792]

I personally feel very lucky as I have been to the NRM about 30 times and I live about 100 miles away

[@trainzville9237]

Hello again Sam, I must say, what a wonderful running session of NRM Locomotives, well a few models of the preserved locomotives at the NRM. My favourite locomotive in the National Collection as you know, is The Flying Scotsman. I'm a bit puzzled, I thought you have the new Hornby A4 Mallard as you're running the Wren version of Mallard, it's not very well detailed and her wheels are not covered, please forgive me, if I'm being a bit rude. But still that is a wonderful NRM running session my friend. I'm been visiting the National Railway Museum in York many times before. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 10/10 2 thumbs up. 👍👍 Kind regards Jordan Shingler 😉 Oh and how about doing a running session of steam locomotives that have been preserved including at the NRM. I'll email you a list of preserved steam locomotives in model form that you got.

[@SamsTrains]

Hey Jordan, thanks so much for this - yes the Flying Scotsman always stands out - just fantastic! I do now have the new A4, but I didn't at the time of filming this one! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@trainzville9237]

Oh I see, you filmed the NRM Running Session with the Wren A4 Mallard just before you received the brand new Hornby A4 Mallard, I completely understand.

[@asmodeus599]

Great video Sam

[@SamsTrains]

I have been to the NRM twice, once when I was 4 (I can only remember being in the cab of Evening Star!) and again for the Great Gathering; both times it was amazing! Did you see the 6 A4's?

[@SamsTrains]

Ohh lucky you - how was the cab of Evening Star? Yes I went for the great gathering too - it was awesome! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@StaxRail]

Sam'sTrains it was massive, the firebox door was probably the same size as an entire washing machine!

[@kristineal1147]

The LMS Crab looks really good as well, I would like to have one but I couldn’t find one on line except a used one but it was in horrible condition

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh yes - those are certainly lovely engines too!! :D Merry Christmas, Sam :)

[@Wolfy_0930]

This was a cool idea, Sam! I really wish I could see the national collection in person.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate - glad you liked the idea! It's well worth visiting, if you ever get the chance! Cheers, Sam :)

[@Wolfy_0930]

Sam'sTrains I don't think ever I will get the chance. I'm, as you say, "across the pond".
