Lost Steam Locomotives

[@robkleinherenbrink5690]

How sad to scrap such beautiful machines, ;(

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah it is terrible - but at least there's some still around! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@britishrailways4810]

Yeah but British Railways shot themselves in the foot as for a steam engine per day it was £18 but a diesel was £68 per day. Then take the oil shortage of the late 60s and diesels get quite expensive.

[@Bittern19]

TO Z 🤩

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

Financially speaking, coal fired steam locomotives are terribly expensive to operate. For most railways, the transition to diesels was purely financial. Diesels only require one source of fuel, they aren’t as difficult to maintain as steamers, and they are far more fuel-efficient. With that said, steam could be run on a limited scale.

[@crystalrock18]

As a "yank" who loves trains a lot one thing I must that I envy about you lot is not just preserving steam trains but making new one. The 60163 Tornado in LNER livery is a good start not too mention a knock out gorgeous train. You rail fan in England make us rail fans in the US proud.......ok me at least. But point is you guys rule on preserving history and making it new again.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate, thanks for the lovely comment - yeah I'm really glad they're making some new builds too - its super exciting! Thanks again for the kind words, Sam :)

[@crystalrock18]

Sam'sTrains no worries Sam. You got a great channel and we share a common passion rail road and model railways. It's good to see that even when we're oceans apart we can share the same passion. Cheers mate Andy

Hey Sam I heard that they are going to rebuild the J50

[@Penguig]

I'm British and I must say, not just because I'm from England, but British trains are more majestic than American locos.

It’s nice knowing that some of these are being to be attempted to be rebuilt

I love these more scholarly / historical videos that you make, well done, sir. I'm a huge British Railways fan, and this sort of thing really helps broaden my perspective.

[@michaelmckinnon7314]

Some of the Locomotives on this list have examples in deplorable condition surviving though, I don't know if they're able to be salvaged though and I've heard they're common urban explorer destinations in the UK, either a railroad museum or scrapyard that went out of business. Thomas was a GWR locomotive rather than an LBSC one

[@tmdrm9817]

south africans steam era ended in 1992 wich was the last day of steam for cape town and my profil pic the red one "red devil" was bulit in 1981 and was the last steam loco to be built in sa we had 122 year of steam

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh fantastic - thanks a lot for the info! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@davidmorris2164]

‘The Queen’ is/was a static display in a shopping centre in Windsor, near the castle.

[@donsharpe5786]

The Fowler 2-6-4 tank was one of the few LMS engines that Stanier thought was satisfactory (along with the Crab, the Royal Scot and the Baby Scot or Patriot). You can draw a direct line of strong influence from this engine to Stanier's 2-6-4 tanks, to the Fairburn 2-6-4 tank and finally the BR standard 2-6-4 tank as well as the Northern Irish 2-6-0 and 2-6-4 tank (Jeeps) and finally the BR standard Class 4 4-6-0.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh really?? He was quite negative towards some of the designs! That's very true - most of them look almost identical, particularly the 2-6-4 tanks! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@dickiedollop]

I remember as a kid we’d occasionally visit relatives in Barry and the steam loco’s awaiting scrapping always filled me with excitement seeing these fantastic machines all lined up. I’m so glad many of these locomotives avoided this fate 👍🏻

[@GrrMeister]

12:44 *no 3041 **_The Queen,_** originally named **_James Mason,_** was an example of this class allocated to Royal Train duties.* *Number 3046 **_Lord of the Isles_** has enjoyed a certain amount of celebrity, having been chosen as the prototype for a Tri-ang model locomotive. Since then the engine has also been modelled by Brio and Matchbox. In 2006, Hornby also produced a limited edition of the same model, this time bearing the name **_Lorna Doone._* Footnote : WikiPedia *"None of the original class survive, but a static replica of The Queen was commissioned by Tussauds for the Railways and Royalty exhibition at Windsor and Eton Central railway station. The replica loco was completed in December 1982 and displayed outside Steamtown in January 1983 (where it was constructed), before being transported by road to Windsor on 12 January 1983 and arriving on 14 January. The main frames, footplate, 'boiler', smokebox, cab and splashers were fabricated by Babcock's of Tipton. The tender was modified from an LBSCR C2x tender. Parts from a GWR tender, that came from the Dumbleton Hall Preservation Society, were used to provide the wheels for the front bogie and the real wheels. The top halves of the driving wheels do not exist, and were cast from 2 quarters, being bolted together to make a half, and the driving wheels also don't sit on the rail, so the loco could be wheeled into position on its front bogie and rear wheels. Some boiler fittings were obtained from the Great Western Society and sandblasted, and the dome and safety valve bonnet were made by Newcastle Metal Spinners. Tussaud's fitted smoke and steam generators, so steam was emitted from the cab, whistles, safety valves and smoke from the chimney. A sound unit was also fitted.* *The engine remains there, but the tender was scrapped to make more space for the shopping centre occupying that station building. The Bluebell Railway Atlantic Group purchased the axleboxes, springs and the complete wheel sets from the tender for use in their newbuild Atlantic project.*

Hi, thanks so much for the comment and all the info, much appreciated!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@georgecraw5914]

Such a wonderful, exciting video. YES INDEED, all of these I remember well, especially the 2-6-4 fowler tanks that i travelled behind from Wishaw to Glasgow on many occasions. I was very fortunate, indeed, to have witnessed so many really good engines and trains. It STILL fascinates me. Well done SAM'S TRAINS.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much George - great to hear you're familiar with these!! What were the fowler 2-6-4s like in real life?! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@russellgxy2905]

I'm not sure if having the E2 pull two coaches was an intentional parallel to Thomas, but I like it. I can definitely see how you confused the LMS 2Ps with the SR L1s. I got them confused a lot as well, but now I can tell them apart. Now I need to work on finding the differences between the Southern L1s and the South Eastern & Chatham's D1s and E1s.

[@SamsTrains]

+Russell Streak Thanks a lot for the comment - haha, it wasn't intentional but I could pretend it was! She's only light, and won't pull much more than that! It was my fault really - it was listed as an L1 on ebay, an I never thought to check! And best of luck - I have no idea myself! All the best, Sam :)

[@trainzmania2022ricardo]

Not only those engines were scrap, including some engines from the 19th Centrury were scrap like the engine that is Edward's basics; Furness Railway 4-4-0 K2, i hope hornby will make a new model of it. Incliding engines that sure will mind to make.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're right - it's such a shame :(

[@robfarjunction9474]

Hi Sam, good video about the lost locos. it is a shame so many interesting steam locos as well as early diesels, electric and multiple units never been saved for preservation. did once visit Barry scrapyard with my dad and grandad when I was a small child in the mid-1970s while on holiday and still remember those locos in very bad condition. Thankfully they were saved and restored back to order. Thanks for sharing.

[@SamsTrains]

+Rob Farrell Thanks Rob, glad you liked the video - I was very surprised to find just how many classes had no preserved examples! It must have been very interesting to visit barry - I've never been but I've seen lots of the photos - thank goodness they got rescued when they did! Cheers mate, Sam :)

[@edwardfleming6528]

That Rebuilt Patriot is in British Railways Experimental Apple Green, caused quite the stir among LMS fans seeing such a locomotive being painted up in Eastern colors back in the day. I have the same model and absolutely adore it ^^

[@SamsTrains]

Blimey, yeah that's a very odd decision- I never knew there was such a thing as an experimental apple green for the LMS - should look stunning though! Thanks for your comment mate, Sam :)

[@russellbenton2987]

Good one again Sam. Not silly at all mistaking L1 with 2P they are very similar. In fact Hornby converted the tooling of their Triang Hornby L1 available in SR green in 1972 to make it a 2P the LMS version you are showing , which came out in 1973 . The L1 apparently was not a big seller and the feeling was the 2P would be better . Not sure if it's was. I bought one about 20 years ago second hand and it's a nice runner. I think the main difference in moulding is the cab. The 2P has a cut out cab while the L1 had windows

[@SamsTrains]

+Russell Benton Thanks a lot mate, and yeah It was quite the pit-fall since they're so similar! And I have noticed that the chassis on both the L1 and and the 2P are almost identical! And agreed, I'm not too sure which I prefer - I do think the L1 perhaps has more charm! :) Cheers, Sam :)

[@CplBurdenR]

+Russell Benton Indeed, it's a sort of, hybrid, like a lot of Tri-ang and Hornby models (their Fowler tenders are very oversized for example). Nice variety for the period though :)

[@SamsTrains]

+Robert Palfrey Yeah, it is very unusual! I suppose it really mattered what models they released in those days, with them having such a limited range! Very different today, where almost anything goes!

[@TheTrainMaster15]

I'm wondering where's the E2 locomotive trust as Thomas is the most famous train in the world

[@SamsTrains]

+TrainMaster15 Yeah that's true - I'm not too sure, there aught to be one though! Cheers, Sam :)

[@TheTrainMaster15]

william shiu it’s not. There are no E2s left, considering they are kinda terrible

[@TheTrainMaster15]

Carbonado X true. But people would complain that it’s not in original condition.

[@TheTrainMaster15]

My favourite lost locomotives were the LBSC Marsh Atlantics. Great Video as usual :)

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh yeah - those are lovely engines! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@iceeblueburst03]

Out of all of the lost locomotives you've showed in that video. My all time favorite has to be the ol mighty strong 2-8-2 LNER P2 locomotive. It is ashamed that first they converted the P2 into a 4-6-2 locomotive and named the A2 class and having the class scrapped with none preserved. This would've been the UK's only 2-8-2 passenger locomotive to be on British Railways and the strongest too even though we got the 9F being strong with those 10 driving wheels. But thank christ they are making a new P2 locomotive running number 2007 which is Prince of Wales. I can't wait to see the brand new finished modern P2 locomotive and seeing it come back!

[@SamsTrains]

AHh yes the good old P2 - very wonderful! The best part is that a new build is nearly finished - which is very good news! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@donsharpe5786]

The Patriot class were known as Baby Scots having the same chassy as the Scot with the boiler designed to improve the LNWR Claughtons. Stanier took the Baby Scot and put his new tapered boiler on. Unfortunately, the original boiler inspired by the GW low superheat and the draughting meant that the new locomotive, the Jubilee, was initially inferior to the Baby Scot and required a lot of work to make it a successful locomotive (not seriously improved till they increased superheating to the LMS levels not the GW).

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh yes I've heard the term Baby Scot - thanks very much for all the info! :D Cheers, Sam ;)

[@donsharpe5786]

This model of the 2P is a sort of amalgam of the L1 and 2P which were not dis-similar externally. The cab is incorrect for a 2P as are the chimney and dome. The L1 was probably the better engine in that its valves were better than the 2P. Although the 2P wasn't a brilliant engine, it was useful and was quite strong pulling on hills. When used as a pilot engine, the 2P was able to pull the heavy train and train engine which was slipping and accelerate it while going up a bank. It was liked in Scotland and on the Somerset & Dorset.

[@SamsTrains]

That's very interesting Don - thanks for the info! They did use the same chassis for both models - so they must have known how similar they were! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@sudriansignalman9387]

Before I forget, the smell which you can detect from old Triang and Triang-Hornby engines is ozone. It is the increased oxidation state from oxygen from O2 to O3, and can damage your lungs if breathed in excess!

The E2 tank engines where actually Technically prototypes because they were only examples they weren’t actually full-fledged locomotives yet the 10 that were built were only examples of what they would look like if production was to start on their class I believe and Thomas is actually the only one of his class to have extended side tanks because the E2 class weren’t meant for long trip Journey’s they were meant for short distance freight trains and shunting.

Actually, I read the 2nd batch 105-109 had the extended side tanks, a la Thomas. I read he's a 2nd batch and since someone made him 106 in a fanfic, I made him 105 in my Thomasverse, as 105 and 106 were built in 1915 and that's Thomas's build year in TRS/model canon.

Man some of these hurt to see disappear, especially the j50, I really like that one! Hurry up and get that replica done, ha. Good video again, great work :)

[@SamsTrains]

I know! Especially the j50 for sure - I'd love to see a real J50 one day! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@janiceandcliff]

Nice to see the E2 today, it seems to have it's own fan club, possibly because of the "Thomas" connection. I filmed mine many moons ago, and I seem to remember it drew a few comments. I wouldn't have thought dark brown would suit a steam loco, but this one "pulls it off" nicely. : ) Regards, Cliff.

[@SamsTrains]

+janiceandcliff Thanks Cliff, I bet Thomas must be part of the reason why - and I agree they are very popular too! They never seem to fetch too much on ebay suprisingly, mine was boxed and near mint for only about £20! Still, not a bad runner, and as you say - the brown looks unexpectedly smart. Cheers, Sam :)

[@BiscuitCrewProductions]

Apparently a replica of the E2 with extended side tanks is going to be made. I've heard that it will be able to steam up and actually move, but I'm not 100% sure...

[@onetrackmind3558]

I still would like one day they could make a brand new design for stream engines.

[@robkleinherenbrink5690]

Samstrains, i would think so to

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah - there's some truly lovely ones in preservation! :D

[@DENPTrains]

Do you think you will do a scrapyard scene on your layout? Though it will look sad it is a nice touch

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that would be a nice touch - I'll have to think about doing that, great idea! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@bambostarla6259]

I was so sad that the johnson 2f/3f class is all gone...

[@SamsTrains]

Yes it is very sad that :( Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@DocterGeko]

you wont understand it all but i feel like this video is teasing me because i have a Tri-ang princess Elizabeth and the chassis is knackered so seeing the Tri-ang 3mt with all its moving parts makes me annoyed that i cant see mine doing that

[@SamsTrains]

Ah that is a shame mate! :( Have you had a look on Ebay? You can pick up those princesses very cheaply these days - why not give that a go?? All the best mate, Sam :)

[@annajeannettedixon2453]

NO Raven A8 then its seams too be forgotten ! But there were Good locomotives

[@SamsTrains]

Hi thanks for the comment - I didn't cover all of the lost locomotives, since I think there's hundreds... but I might make another of these videos to show more! Cheers, Sam :)

[@Opthomas_Prime]

The e2 with extended boiler is my favourite steam locomotive

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh good choice - they look lovely don't they?? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Opthomas_Prime]

@@SamsTrains I love your vids because they are about trains

[@erical6338]

Thomas? I grew up with the models.

[@Opthomas_Prime]

@@erical6338 I grew up with the tony and take n play models of ttte

[@ItsSamHussey]

Isn't there a 303 in the national railway museum in York??

[@SamsTrains]

Hmm, I'm not too sure about that!

[@manunderthemask4762]

Well Sam, they certainly not lost! they will forever be in the Hearts and Minds of Engine men and Rail fans alike! your mate! - Sam! (P.S this is my Gaming alt!)

[@SamsTrains]

That's certainly true mate - very good point! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@dantel.7785]

Not all of the LBSC E2s were scrapped, there are still 2 more in preservation Due to the popularity of Thomas.

[@SamsTrains]

Hmm I'm not sure that's true - I think there were a few locos dressed up to look like him, but weren't really E2s! All the best, Sam :)

[@dantel.7785]

Sam'sTrains Well I guess they had to be scrapped some time, I was watching a video and it said that 2 were still in preservation due to the popularity gain of Thomas the tank engine since he was an E2 as well, or it could've been because his demonic ghostly brother Timothy...

[@rhodelganaden5444]

Well. The brits got exact lookalike for D.O.W.T

[@atari67]

Like I always say, Sam, keep up the good work!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate, very much appreciated, All the best, Sam :)

[@lukeslocomotives]

What was the 2-6-2 tender engine wheel arangement called? :-)

[@SamsTrains]

I believe that's known as Prarie!

[@lukeslocomotives]

THX!

[@nicksadventures4362]

I hope an E2 is rebuilt that is live steam

[@SamsTrains]

+Nicks Adventures (Nick's Adventure) I know - it would be fantastic if there was one! Cheers, Sam :)

[@dreamerlover9020]

I think the loco introduced at four mins and three seconds looks a bit like Arthur from Thomas and his Friends but brilliant video sam

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're right - it's very very similar - though I think Arthur may have been the standard version, not the LMS version - still similar though! Really glad you enjoyed it, Sam :)

[@heurt31]

Arthur's base engine was scraped? I'm glad Thomas and Friends brought it back into the picture.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah! I'm glad too - it was very nice to see! :D Cheers mate, Sam :)

[@heurt31]

Oh, hey Sam! Thanks for replying and I just subscribed and turned on notifications. (You also deserve more views, likes, and subs.)

[@ThomasBrainLine]

Arthur was based on the Ivatt 2MT's.

[@terrier_productions]

Thomasbrainline. Productions thanks for saying that instead of me!

[@erical6338]

Thomas: So Arthur's the only one of his class left? Just like me, then.

[@nickelplatenerd6989]

The Patriot class’s motor makes the same six cylinder chuff sound.

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah that's true actually - lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@nickelplatenerd6989]

Was it designed like that, or was that a coincidence?

[@jonathanamason2551]

They're also making a new E2 as no.110.

[@SamsTrains]

Oh yeah that's right - I think I read that somewhere! Cheers, Sam :)

[@Some_Kong]

Along with a larger coal bunker. I also Wonder what livery they choose? The greenish brown looks best in my opinion

[@jonathanamason2551]

+Big Mac And Sam's Trains I heard that it will run on the Bluebell Railway and I think Southern railway green is the best. But I would like to see In Thomas the tank engine's livery.

[@RileyRailAviationNTrucks]

the lner p2 is on a project!

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah! And it's coming along really well by the looks of it! Cheers, Sam :)

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Great video and like the history of these loco's , so interesting . .......Peter.

[@SamsTrains]

+Peter Shaw Thanks very much Peter, I really enjoy finding out all about locos - so great fun to make too! Cheers mate, Sam :)
