LONDON and NORTH EASTERN Railways, Steam Vol-3

The London & North Eastern Railway brought some 6,550 locomotives into the possession of British Railways. Only a handful survive today.
These include what are probably the most famous of all steam engines. Sir Nigel Gresley's immortal 'Flying Scotsman' and 'Mallard', the later being the fastest steam engine ever. But L.N.E.R. Steam Locomotives were not all glamorous - humble freight and tank engines went about their everyday tasks and whilst we see plenty of the express Pacifics, both past and present, this video also includes glimpses of how it used to be in the 1950's and 1960's.
OTHER LOCOMOTIVES FEATURED INCLUDE:
* 60009 'Union of South Africa' 4-6-2
* 4498 'Sir Nigel Gresley' 4-6-4
* 4771 'Green Arrow' 2-6-2
* 1306 'Mayflower' 4-6-0
* 532 'Blue Peter' 4-6-2
* 3442 'The Great Marquess' 2-6-0
AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

That was a great story of the LNER. There were some interesting facts that I did not know. Many thanks for releasing this video. I am currently building an LNER Preservation Railway called Yorkdale. Martin. (Thailand)

Very Interesting, I was an avid "trainspotter" in the 1950's as I lived in Leicester with the London Midland Railway and the Great Central Railway running through Leicester with quite large stations. However, there were also connecting lines to Nuneaton and Rugby where we could "cop" engines on the LMS and GWR lines. A bus day trip to Grantham gave us access to the LNER where we "spotted" all the LNER Pacifics etc. Those were the Days !

Gresley conjugated motion was used on New South Wales Government Railways D 57 freight locomotives.

With the fact that Gresley was several light years ahead of his contemporary designers,when push came to shove,the LNER,could absorb loads that the LMS,could only dream of! The real pity,was the rebuilding of the Class P,2-8-2's,because the British railways were 30 years behind even its own colonies,when it came to motive power! Eight coupled,and even 10 coupled engines were in wide use in Canada,South Africa,New Zealand,and even Australia! Had Gresley not died an untimely death,there would have been 4-6-4's,2-8-2's,2-8-4's,and probably 4-8-4's,which would in themselves set new records! Just look what was happening on the SNCF,to get some idea of those potentials! The lose was greater than most people can imagine! In the US,the NYC,was showing the equivalent,as the J Class Hudsons,and the S Class Northerns were proving the equal of the diesel engines,but that was swept under the rug,so history was rewritten,to suit! That will come back to bite,and maybe sooner than you think!🚂🚋🚞🚉🚇🚊

Excellent and very much appreciated thanks for uploading.

4:26 This Famous Locomotive Flying Scotsman Is Now Part Of The National Railway Museum In York In Yorkshire. Thanks Mate. X

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

And 4472 flying Scotsman will be celebrating its 100th birthday in February next year

[@martinpattison1567]

I hope she is repainted and renumbered as she should be.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Some good news 60007 is back in steam for this year

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Nice the video very much thanks.

[@vincentswift7]

Flying Scotsman is NOT named after a Racehorse

[@thomasblack736]

The 61264 and the 60007 would paid a visit to the United States sometime in the future like the Flying Scotsman!

[@thomasblack736]

The 60009 would paid a visit to the United States sometime in the future too!

[@jameswright7284]

@Thomas Black fairly certain 60009 won't be running for quite sometime

[@user-cw9qn1nb2n]

I would certainly dispute that the Peppercorn A2 class were the most powerful Pacifics on British Railways. The ex-LMS Princess and Duchess classes were far more powerful, and were much bigger and heavier machines. In comparison the A2s were mere light-weights. Don't know who wrote this script, but they got that wrong.

[@laurenceskinnerton73]

Nice.

[@ZAV1944]

Bit of a shame they didn't mention the J70 Tram Engines.

[@guytruth5598]

May I know when was all these trains was film, was it filmed from those era or it was filmed in recent times the recomission of the train for the enthusiast hobbyist.

[@baedenwilliams8291]

11:29 Doppler Effect on a British Steam Locomotive! Pretty cool, isn’t it?

[@simonf8902]

What about Commonwealth of Australia ?

[@johnmehaffey9953]

If I can comment on the livery of the big four even though most of my journeys were on the LMS franchises I always thought the LNER was a nicer looking livery rather than the dark maroon of the LMS and when I was a lad with my hornby train set it was in the LMS colours it’s strange even with toys we tend to use the livery we are used to

[@neildelaney5199]

Sadly i think we will have to wait until the centenary of Mallards record breaking run to see it in steam again,,if we can find the coal?

[@BJWT1047]

I doubt it’ll ever steam again, to ensure it is preserved.

[@awizardalso]

I find it somewhat strange that Britain still uses steam locomotives. Here in the United States other than some that have been restored, steam locomotives about went extinct around 1960

[@stevegolding5523]

British steam locomotives were replaced by diesels and electrics in 1967 ....those that you see are restored preserved types owned by enthusiasts. Some Steam locomotives ( early diesel locomotives too ) when complying with certain maintenance and condition requirements are allowed to run on the mainline purely as private enthusiast specials. The majority are to be seen running on privately owned preserved railway's.

[@roryhand6650]

We don't still use them, steam was last used in the north west of England on standard gauge lines in August 1968.

[@crashingboy2002]

i looked at the A3 at 7:35 but the number was just a blur i could not see it what is it
