[@1987VCRProductions]

The engine really suffered under Marchington's ownership. He took advantage of the engine having carried an A4 boiler since 1977 and increased the pressure to 250 psi. He also bored out the cylinders from 19 to 20 inches and made several other changes in an attempt to "improve" the engine. The Gresley A1/A3 frames simply weren't designed to deal with that kind of power output. It was already bad enough with the frames having to hold up the weight of the A4 boiler (A3 boilers were lighter). The engine was in the worse shape it's ever been in when the NRM bought it. Allegedly it was worse off mechanically than some engines you'd find in a scrap yard. The forward part of the frames were found irreparable and had to be replaced. Hopefully the work done to return the engine to its proper A3 specs and tip top running condition will negate the need for such drastic overhauls in the near future. The A3 boiler, built in the 1940s, was aquired from Salmon Trout during a 1965 overhaul at Darlington and used by 4472/60103 from 1965 to 1977. The A4 boiler was built around 1960 and bought by Alan Pegler as a spare around that time.

[@sirrliv]

Thanks very much for this summary of part of Scotsman's mistreatment under preservation. I confess, I was among the crowds of wombles who said that for the money the NRM had poured into the project they should have restored the original cosmetically, then followed the A1 Trust's example and built a new A3 to replace her on the mainlines. Unlike most of them though, I meant it as compassion; the old girl's had a rough, long life, perhaps the longest and roughest of any steam locomotive in preservation. She'd earned a dignified retirement, and Tornado had shown that building a new steam engine is entirely possible. All this being said though, I do not begrudge the NRM's decision and I am so glad that the grand dame of the rails is back.

[@josephlee6849]

An a4 boiler?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@PGW85Productions]

Yes. Underneath the streamlined casing of the A4’s, their boilers were mostly a development of the A3 boiler type.

[@cobbss1405]

really love this summery of Scotsman, I love that locomotive so knowing more about it is always a charm, do you think anything has changed since the NRM's been working with Scotsman? and I could be wrong but I heard she's going through an overhaul this year, if anyone knows do you think that'll put her back closer to her original A3 condition?

Yes. I admit. I've been wanting this to happen. For almost as long as SOLE SLIPs has been around. I laughed out lout at the Thomas and City of Truro references. This video helped me to clear up some confusion about Flying Scotsman. I hope someday I am able to see her myself.

[@directedbydave9798]

BramGroatFilms I agree. I hope she returns to the US soon.

[@OrangeDiamond33]

I enjoyed this video

[@lostonessoul8435]

I never heard of her to be honest but just from the video I can tell she's a beauty.

[@colleensymes4399]

FUN FACT: flying Scotsman was given the coridor tender shortly after miners lifted a rail that made her de rail by mistake so she was given the new tender

[@agachocho]

Great film. I was one of them who said it was a waste of money but seeing her on the main line and at the bluebell last week, it is great to see peoples smile and respect to our hobby caused by this loco. So for that reason she gets my respect.

[@harnettyrailways]

Very Well presented Mr Eden Green sir an excellent job reviewing the world's famous engine. Richard

[@walterstrains5390]

This locomotive is no doubt the most famous steam locomotive of all-time! It should never, and I mean NEVER EVER be scrapped! She was the first ever locomotive to surf and navigate the globe. I would like to see her one day, but I live in the U.S. Maybe one day I will.

[@jacobisaacfurniss6242]

I think the problem people have with Scotsman is we get the same documentary about it over and over again made by people who know very little about railways, while this on the other hand had some very lovely cinematography of the locomotive on the Bluebell and told me something new and makes me feel the opinion of an amateur historian with a passion is much more worth the money than a journalist or minor celebrity following the latest human interest story, this was a very nice surprise Chris, thank you!

[@steampipe1]

CED does it again with a fine history of Flying Scotsman. I wish he could find a way to profile American locos

Good to meet you too, Mike. You're welcome to pick my brains over filmmaking anytime, I'll try to answer all questions to the best of my ability

[@ItzDecster]

The flying Scotsman is beautiful in whatever livery its in

[@rudycarlson8245]

Yes the flying Scotsman is a beautiful locomotive but she only belongs in apple green not the crappy Brunswick green that she’s in now!

[@willimations277]

It's shocking this locomotive was ever going to be scrapped, great video

[@boxcarwillies1603]

Some people may say Scottie was a waist to restore, but that's not my opinion. Here in the states, we're restoring a locomotive that costed as much as Flying Scotsman's extensive overhaul to build (in modern currency). The engine in question is Big Boy 4014, and it's estimated 20 Million U.S. Dollars are to be put into restoring her, maybe even more now that they've got a better look at the damages. Now THAT, is a waist of money.

[@heavytube7890]

due to being from England land, I never heard about the damages to that powerful monster of an engine. what 'appened to it?

[@boxcarwillies1603]

It's been sat rusting since the end of WW2. That, compounded with the fact she was an outside exhibit, she's quite literally a pile of rust. Also on a side note they're converting her to oil burning, which will not only waist even more money on her restoration, it'll be a money pit like no other

[@heavytube7890]

Aye, definitely. Can she burn old oil like some of the fessie's engines, or nes? And a a low - oil time like this. I just wish we could have one of those old K&ESR 2-4-0 tanks that were scrapped in the 40's. One was used in "oh mr porter".

[@boxcarwillies1603]

Yeah, Big Boys could burn oil real easily. Fact, at the rate she gobbled through coal, she'd go through oil like it were a cup of tea. On the other topic, You could build a 2-4-0 for real cheap. Shannon was built at a machine shop (from my knowlage), and she costed about 17,000 pounds modern currency (which I would think is a pretty decent price for a steamer). So why can't we build a 2-4-0 tank for, say, around 20,000 pounds?

[@highpath4776]

Probably easier to build two or more locos at a time as the costs in the main are the set up of casting components rather than the materials to make the parts.

[@joshslater2426]

Flying Scotsman is significant, important, and well worth the money put into restoring it. Few locos have had such a good relationship with the general public outside of train nerds that we need it to help keep the hobby going. Scotsman has a claim to fame, and a long and interesting history. 100 years on, and it’s live a good life.

[@TheRubberDuck]

It's great that she's back in steam and can't wait to see her in Sept 2017 when she's at the West Somerset Railway, shame Mallard can't be put through an overhaul like Scotsman, it would be great to see the pair in steam side by side

[@Willowfs4472]

Brilliant Chris well done you certainly have done a great job and far better than the other guy.

[@BrianSeaman]

Nice one Chris. I watched The Flying Scotsman arrive, traverse The Bluebell, and depart back to NRM. The number of views on KZbin is testament to the popularity. I've seen crowds, and I've seen the attraction that this locomotive offers. Yes a chequered history, but you made it an interesting watch, with your usual research and wit thrown in. Keep it up sir :)

[@NathanielKempson]

Yes, she is expensive, yes she is old. BUT You ask any none rail enthuast a question about steam trains, and they will reply with either "Thomas the Tank" Or Flying Scotsman.

[@DidgeAvi]

My favourite Locomotive by far. I know that the streaks have a better reputation but Scotsman set the standard of speed at the time. It's truly a marvel to see it in action again. Though I'll say one thing, that might start the comment section: I think that Scotsman should have been painted BR Pacific Blue in 2016. Why you ask? because you barely see the livery and plus 60103 never had the livery so it could interesting to see, I know it sounds stupid but I honestly think that it would look nice on the girl Cheers Avi

[@PGW85Productions]

I'd like to see the BR Express Passenger Blue as well.

[@wyattnewcomer402]

It'd look amazing but as a rivet-counter i'd cringe everytime I looked at her, especially with the double chimney and smoke deflectors.

[@mccoachrailwayproductions8958]

O_O Did Chris really just called the little blue embarrassment by his name?! What were the odds that this ever happened??

[@rudycarlson8245]

[@samuelpoole6560]

at 2:19 when Scotsman is reversing it looks like she has a American style coupling and her buffers

[@tomlikestrains4071]

She has a Nuckle Coupler because that's the standard coupling on the BR MK1's from today.

[@shadyhaze2013]

Many thanks for a great video! And in regards to its' Australian tour (as I found out from a person involed with it all), oringaly Aus Steam 88 wanted to have the Flying Scotsman in the first place but never thought they would ever get her, so ask asked for Mallard instead, and the rest is history!

[@NWR1991]

shadyhaze2013 Actually in 1987, one plan was to have a locomotive from China as a present to strengthen ties between the two countries but instead we were given two Pandas instead. This came from a railway magazine in Victoria called NewsRail with their special report about Aus Steam '88 and 4472 in Australia. There were also offers from North America I believe but they denied the offers.

[@entemusicarchive]

The fact that Flying Scotsman had to be fitted with a cowcatcher reminds me of the episode Thomas in Trouble

Hi Chris. Another great episode but you may want to check your facts regarding Scotsman's record trip across Australia. In fact there was a previous Sydney-Perth transcontinental steam trip in 1970, behind ex-New South Wales C38 Pacific 3801. Other than this, a well-produced and edited episode - please keep up the good work.

[@NWR1991]

Alastair Cross What Chris meant was that 4472 was the first steam locomotive to use the, at the time, New standard gauge line that was placed in Alice Springs in 1980.

[@MrNoUsername]

A long steam locomotive with a tender pulling a long rake of coaches thundering down the tracks. The Flying Scotsman basically made that the iconic image whenever we think of a steam locomotive pulling a train

As for the cost of the Flying Scotsman's overhaul, 1,000,000 pounds doesn't sound all that much for the work that needed to be done. Here in the States, a regular 15 year (coincidentally enough also referred to as a 1472 day inspection) costs between $400,000 to $600,000 every time one of those is required.

[@andrewyoung749]

lol i think we are all jealous of how cheap it is (comparatively) in the USA. recently read average uk overhaul is north of 300k gbp and that is required every 7 yrs(expandable to 10). and yours seem to get by on less work, over here the mainline ones basically have to do 1 tour a week most weeks for 10 yrs ,and then beg, in order to meet the cost of next overhaul. US locos loike 4449 are hardly ever out yet seem to get by well enough.

[@TheRoarinSpitty]

nice work chris! how bout the Duke of Gloucester or Tornado for your next one... perhaps

[@ChrisJohnson-nc4il]

May I suggest the A2 Blue Peter

[@1987VCRProductions]

Blue Peter is awaiting overhaul last time I checked. Maybe he'll do it once the engine is mainline ready again.

[@TheClaudHamilton]

That was quite comprehensive for a Sole SLIP, Chris. I have to confess I'm not entirely sure about the whole poking fun at Thomas thing, but I probably shouldn't complain about it, considering the history you have of being part of the fandom. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do with the Duke of Gloucester and Tornado Sole SLIPs.

[@BritanniaPacific]

Mallard was celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of her world record run back in 1938. That's why she was unavailable in 1988 to go to Australia. Incidentally, another gresley a4; 4464 bittern, was repainted, lettered, and numbered as 2509 silver link. There's a video on the gresley a4s here on KZbin, ten or so years old.

So What is the most iconic Scotsman? The NRM chose to restore the engine back to an A3 60103 BR Green with smoke deflectors (as the loco was at retirement from BR is 1963) ..fair enough...but now she carries the walk thru tender.? Was that the tender used in 1963? Or was it that and the second tender? What was the tender arrangement in 1963? So is the most iconic Scotsman Era 4 and up to 1960... just before the smoke deflectors were fitted?

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Flying Scotsman is definitely the most expensive locomotive to be built

[@Plokman040]

Great job and nice making amends with your blue puffball problem if I may be so bold. Honestly while the debate can be made that Scott could of waited for refurbishment due to cost there is no way Scotty could be allowed to be dismantled for good. That would be the same kind of crap as letting Sierra No. 3 to be scrapped like it or not they are around and should be around since they were preserved long before alot of those complaining about them (not so much on No. 3 as far as I'm aware but still there will be complaining) were ever even a chromosome.

Hi Chris my argument with it Tornado cost 3 million to build and scotsman got around 10 million, what are the NRM doing do they not know how to overhaul a loco. for example V2 Green Arrow they won't restore that due to the cylinders someone offer to make new casings but the NRM replied it will change the sound of the loco. who's gives a pigs arse about what it sounds like get it back on the rails or bring the A4s back from the US

Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!!
