Railway Roundabout 1958 'Southampton Docks'

We finally end the Railway Roundabout in 1958, at the Southern Railway's Southampton docks, where we see the USA tanks and featuring rare footage of LBSC's E2 class no.32109 (best known as Leo in mine and Tomthetrainfan's NRWS)

Thomas, Rosie, and Rebecca are all visiting Southampton in 1958 in BR liveries for a few days. Amazing!

It's great to see E2s in action, but it's also great to see the great liner, Queen Elizabeth, at the port.

Is this the only video of the E2s at work ?

Everyone talking about thomas: me wow i love the old times

Unlike Thomas, LB&SCR E2 class locomotives weren’t useful. The E2s were limited to only some parts of the docks because they were too long for some of the tight corners and were prone to derailing. They were originally built for light passenger trains but were unreliable for long distance.

I'd imagine Rosie, her sisters and brothers and Thomas' brothers working at Southampton.

A great film, featuring some of my favorite Southern region locomotives, the USA tanks, E2 0-6-0s, the Bulleid West Country class, and even some of Maunsell's 4-6-0s! I particularly liked seeing the American side tanks roaming the docksides, as they had quite the distinction between other locos at the docks, like the LBSC engines, inside cylinders and British as can be.

Queen Elizabeth + E2s + Battle of Britains ?!? Am I in heaven?

"Thomas is a Tank Engine, who lives at a big station on the island of Sodor."

[@RoseSupreme]

I bet most people came here just to see the basis of Thomas the Tank Engine in action.

We visited Southampton Docks with school in the early 1960s. A dock employee giving us school children a conducted tour. Thanks for the memories.

The puffing sounds of the E2 are similar to that of the chuffing sound effects in S1-2. But are more slowed down and with lots of steam sounds .

[@angrya4pacific738]

I love this video not because of the E2s but all the southern locomotives in this video

[@reiwa9973]

at this moment,thomas said goodbye to his relatives,hes the only one alive today

[@Percy5581]

From the most unrecognized class in the world, to the most famous

It's a real shame that the E2 Class is gone. Although it had it's flaws, it was a beauty of a locomotive and was able to put our childhood into action!
