SOLE SLIP: Highland Railway 'Jones Goods' 103

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

Not only the first 4-6-0 in britain, but the ONLY preserved Highland loco.

[@luisarts1870]

There were actually plans for saving another Highland locomotive, the last surviving Highland Railway Small Ben Class The Last surviving engine 54398 Ben Alder was withdrawn from service in 1953 and was putted into storage, after many years in storage at different locations no preservation attempt was succesful and the engine was sadly cut up in 1967 after 14 years in storage Although the Scottish Railway Preservation Society has raised up the idea of building a new Ben Class

[@hartleymartin]

Worth checking out the NSW Railways P class (later C32 class), of 1892 which apparently was a significant influence on the design on this class.

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Such a beautiful locomotive! I hope someday she’s given another chance and is restored!

[@barrageballoon4845]

🎼Those magnificent men in their flying machines they go up dede up up and down dede down down🎶

[@Tombola1993]

Quite a striking colour scheme. Like the design.

[@ieuanbriers]

Another brilliant Video, what a good way to start off the year.

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

Oh lovely! I've been waiting to see this grand old engine on here, since it's not only the only Highland Ry. 'Jones/Big Goods' around, but it's also the only Highland loco in preservation. And the livery alone is gorgeous.

[@joelightrailway2362]

Alright the Jones Goods is one of my favourite Scottish locomotives ever as I personally like the livery on this class. I'm glad she was save for preservation as it would be a real shame if the first 4-6-0 to be built in the UK would've been scrapped.

[@kikivoorburg]

My day is always that little bit better when one of these videos comes out!

[@Marcstrainsandfunko]

Im an only 1 hour trip away from this beauty I burn to get the new Rapido model I want it in the Hr and the green liveries

[@luisarts1870]

You should make a video about Failed Preservation attempts for example, the NBR C11 cut up during WW2 just after being restored and the only surviving Highland Railway Ben Class that was stored by many years and was eventually cut up

[@josephbroom829]

Brilliant video yet again Chris! This is one of those engines that needs to return to steam! Such an important Loco and only up close have I realised how intricate the livery is! Nice one mate!

[@olly5764]

I suspect the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement would have happened in the UK anyway, but it may well be the case that following their experiments with the Saints as 4-6-0s and 4-4--2s, it makes me suspect the GWR saints would have become the first 4-6-0s

[@MallardStudios]

Another good video as alway's, great work.

[@aryanmangar2001]

This was excellent

[@Paraffinmeister]

Every time I see her there I can't help thinking what a brute of a loco she is compared to others from the era and in comparison to the other locos in the museum (especially the rather dainty Caley single next to her).

[@Pirate-Scorcher-1998]

Amazing locomotive

[@Hener-cm6iv]

Another great video, nice one

[@kineticrail]

Just what you need on a cold night shift. Chris is the talk at wells and walsingham still happening for some reason cant seem to find the event on the facebook page.

[@conceyullena]

Like 508 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍👋

[@CymruJedi]

Anyone else here after the Rapido trains announcement?

[@shug831]

One of my childhood favourite engines. I spent many hours in the Old transport museum in Glasgow. Did you video Gen Douglas as well? The new museum is a joke, you can't see half the exhibits, they are stacked in huge shelves!

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

Can you do a SOLE Slip on either the LNER N2 or N7 0-6-2 Tanks?

[@wshr1032]

This is a great Sole Slip and HR 103 is my favorite engine of all time but I do think it could’ve benefited from a bit longer of a runtime and more of the preservation history of the engine, also I think all episodes of Sole Slips could benefit from that

[@patrickwebb7311]

Wow. I had no idea how important 103 was to history.

[@aarphotos5]

Great video! I don’t want to sound like a wibble but i would love to see a sole slip of NSR no2. Just a suggestion.

[@gquayle]

Should be returned to steam at the Strathspay(?) line

[@doggerbendrailway6002]

Hi Chris did you know they look very close to the nsw p6 or 32.class

[@Mull_Shapaad]

It resembles the Stirling single

[@theosluckymummy]

Can you do a sole slip on a GNR C1 Atlantic and apologies if you already have

[@mistermadmachine6311]

❤️

[@mikeytrains1]

So, will you be doing 62005 soon?

[@collinromeo641]

What are your thoughts on the LNER L1?

[@m0rtenpl1nd9]

have you heard about Odin? (well if you have maybe you can do a vid on it?)

[@steamie98]

Its a bit late isn’t it Its 12:00

[@TheOnlyTYRE]

Yeah

[@nicholasjones9705]

The granddaddy of all 4-6-0s in Britain then?

[@AlanPalgut]

MR 1000!!!

[@ThomasTrain-lo2xh]

LOVE THE VIDEO AND CAN YOU DO A SOLE SLIP ON THE MIDLAND SPINNER PLEASE...

[@jackdowd4746]

Where was this video filmed? I'd like to visit, once the pandemic is over.

[@ChristheXelent]

The engine is at the Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum. I hope you do get a chance to visit once lockdown is over

[@jimmymccartney2049]

@@ChristheXelentWhich class is she from?

[@TotoDG]

This is that goods engine in Railroad Tycoon 3 that nobody picks because it’s uneconomical.

[@priscillachapkylo934]

Beauty indeed this color remind Molly yellow paints coat from Thomas and friend .
