Steam Engines at Speed!

During these difficult times of quarantine and lockdown in the UK due to the Coronavirus outbreak around the world, myself and every other railway KZbinrs sadly cannot get out to film any railway action. So to cheer people up, I decided create a compilation of steam locomotives at speed on the mainline, showcasing steam at its best!

The whistles along with the steam are simply magic.

As an expat brit now living in Oz, this video was delightful. Thank you so much for posting this

That’s what a REAL train sounds like. 10/10.

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you Arthur! :) I have to agree, can’t beat the sound of steam locos at their best! :) Cameron

[@MyTROLLEYBUS]

Wonderful like the old days of being at the lineside. I found myself counting the coaches like I used to. Thank you.

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and I’m glad it’s brought back what must be fantastic memories :) Cameron

[@DaveCooper36b]

A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining video, and wouldn't expect anything less that 100% from the White team. Expertly edited by Cameron , with exceptional filming and locations by Cameron and Paul. Paul deserves `Dad` of the year, for the miles he travel's so Cameron can produce a First Class film like this. A superb team, making a fantastic collection for all of us to enjoy.

Smart vid. I usually get three or four into these compilations and move on but the quality of the camerawork and variety of subject meant I stuck around. I think my favourite was the latest vid of Union ghosting through the Doncaster murk. Lovely!

Thank you John! I’m certainly very thankful for all of the volunteers who have put the time and effort into restoring, maintaining, cleaning, driving and firing the locomotives. It really is fantastic that we have so many locomotives to go out and see thanks to all of the volunteers :) With myself being a volunteer at the Great Central Railway for just over six years as a cleaner, it is a real honour to be part of all of this! :) Cameron

[@logotrikes]

British steam traction scratches an inch. Sometimes we need a temporary escape from today's madness. There really isn't anything quite like it...

[@notwocdivad]

WOW so much more romantic watching steam trains thundering through the countryside at night! Funny how lot's of these trains had more modern types hooked on behind!

[@stephenphillip5656]

The diesel loco at the rear is there for a couple of reasons. It provides electric carriage heating (steam heating from the loco was discontinued years ago) & it's other purpose is as a backup in case (perish the thought) the steam loco fails. There's *huge* financial penalties imposed on the steam special operators for delaying the scheduled services in the event of a breakdown.

[@ChrisPMT]

12:13 Remind me not to go to Newark Northgate you’ll just get a load of drivel in your ears when the train comes by

great video. surprised to see nethertown on here.cos i know it like the back of my hand,.has i was told by family long gone, who had a beach bungalow at caulderton,back in the 1950s etc when steam trains ran from barrow to carlisle & also alot of goods & coal trains coming from & going to whitehaven colliery,s also lowca colliery.tar plant.. & workington steelworks the beach bungalows along nethertown, caulderton..braystones would have big lumps of coal stacked up in their sheds etc.cos many a time when certain engine driver.s & firemen were on, they would go a bit slow past here & roll big lumps of coal off down the railway bank for people to use on their fireplaces..ov as long as no-one was in the way of it rolling down the bank, thanks.

[@tipper0107]

I noticed most of them only pulls 10 to 12 cars , is this all that they are limited too . Awesome video by the way

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you Kirby! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Most steam hauled charters are usually up to 10 to 12 coaches in the UK depending on the power class of the Loco that’s pulling the tour. A lot of the time a steam tour will have a diesel on the rear to generate power to heat the coaches, possibly assist the steam loco and be there in case the steam loco fails so it can replace it. A diesel can weigh up to an equivalent of at least two extra coaches. Sometimes on steam tours you can get 13 or 14 coaches. I think 14 is the maximum a steam loco can haul on the mainline ‘I could be wrong there’ Sometimes I’ve seen steam locos such as 6233 Duchess of Sutherland hauling 14 coaches with a diesel on the rear giving no assistance which is the equivalent of about 16 coaches which is an impressive load indeed by UK standards :) Hope this helps :) Cameron

[@mattowensrees]

@@RailView_YT If the steam egine brakes, does the diesel also break and not continue to providec power

[@steamingaroundbritain]

I've always wondered what is it with rebuilt bullied West country's and battle of Britain's at speed on the mainline the whistle can't stay in one pitch its almost like it's premature doppler effect

[@RailView_YT]

I think a lot of the time on rebuilt Bulleid whistles Doppler effects are caused by an echo from subjects that they pass with the whistle being place sort of on the side of the loco. I noticed it a lot when Rebuilt Bulleids whistle :)

[@Salty3439]

[@Cbazz]

Such a great video :) But I have a stupid question Why are all these british whistles so high pitched? I'm from America & we don't usually have that many that sound like that

[@RailView_YT]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! :) That is a great question :) It could be because of the Victorians using high pitch whistles on Great Western engines first and the GWR and other railway companies around the time keeping pretty much kept the same design of whistle ‘known as a bell whistle because of the shape I think’ There have been quite a lot of different types of whistles on UK steam locos throughout the years but all of them are smaller than American whistles. This is probably due to the size difference between locos in the UK and US with the US steam being bigger and having more boiler pressure due to the size. ‘I’m not 100% sure on all this I’m probably wrong haha’ There are some low pitch whistles in the UK however known as Stanier hooters carried on most LMS locos :) Hope this helps :) Cameron

[@yoville73]

6:45 how come Duchess of Sutherland has a yellow diagonal stripe on the cab side where the number is?

[@RailView_YT]

In the 1960s when the West Coast Mainline was electrified they banned steam from travelling under the wires fearing that they would damage them. Thankfully this ban doesn’t exist anymore. The yellow cab stripe was to signify that the loco was banned from travelling south of Crewe where at the time was electrified, this was applied to a lot of locomotives the 1960s. They applied this to the Duchess in 2017 to represent her look before she was withdrawn from BR service. Hope this helps :) Cameron

[@yoville73]

Oh yeah... I mean... I’m not sure why British Rail put those stripes on them... I mean there were some instances that the locomotives were shunting themselves at low speed at Crewe station underneath the electrical wires. Perhaps they just wanted steam off the top link express trains out of Euston as they’re days wound down.

[@fx6r]

Haven't Leander been maroon sometimes or just in her LMS days

[@RailView_YT]

Leander wore that livery in the LMS days and in preservation from when she returned in the 1970s to 2012 before she was painted BR black in 2014 for the first time since the 1950s. Hope this helps :) Cameron

[@visalsasi1912]

Do these locos still have only vaccum brakes?

[@edwardmounsey9208]

Some had diesels on the tail end, what was the purpose for these?

[@RailView_YT]

Most of the time they use to diesels on the rear to generate heat into the coaches. Some are also on the rear in case the steam loco fails and sometimes they do assist the steam locos. Hope this helps :) Cameron
