Steam Locomotives of the 21st Century

[@rugbymclean8095]

Excellent! So envious of all the steam active locomotives in U.K. There are some here in Australia, spread all over the continent.

3:52 fun fact: this A1 peppercorn was featured in top gear on June 21st 2009 when it raced a jaguar XK120 and a Vincent Black Shadow

When you want to see new locomotives, come to Germany. A few years ago we got a new 99er (1000mm rails) and Der Molly got an additional locomotive, built new as well. Switzerland built a new locomotive based on a 52er, a German war locomotive. They designed it new, so that It is faster and looks completely different.

[@rinusvandenberg3041]

Great overview. Beautiful moments caught on tape. Enjoyed it. 🚂

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Very good episode again, it seems that replicas of very early locomotives form an important part of the newbuilds, as do the small industrial, quarry and trench narrow gauge locomotives. The Owl was a locomotive which got my attention, it looked like a Heisler with a British topping over it. I was missing "Lady of Legend" and however made of old parts a new locomotive in the class, and also the second mainline type of locomotive finished in the 21th Century. Could you do an episode on narrow gauge quirks or preserved Garratts in the UK, although the second one is a short one with only 4 different types I know existing in the UK, of which 2 are non runners. My hope however is for the industrial Garratt 6841 "William Francis" as this is the only survivor of the Garratts built for domestic use in the UK, it's also a locomotive very suited for most of the preserved railways, made for slower speeds, powerful enough to pull 8 coaches and able to cope with good and bad trackwork. Lets spend a million quid on this beauty before we roll another newbuild out.

Imagine what It'll look like on the L&B once they have 2 more Manning Wardles and a longer line. A gala with Charles, Axe, Issac, Lyn, Lyd, Yeo, and Exe (and mabby a Lew if someone finds it) would be amazing.

I hope to see it.

When the 200th anniversary of the opening of the first commercial rail line arrives in a few years, are there any plans by British Rail to commemorate the occasion?

[@the4tierbridge]

British rail hasn’t existed since ‘97 my friend. It’s all privatized now.

[@communismoclock9958]

13:20 I think that's my car in the background if I'm not mistaken! A bit odd to spot it in this video of all things. I still love the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railway to this day.

[@theq4602]

Woah a broad gauge locomotive What a surprise

[@ToyManTelevision]

Oh would we love to see these locomotives.

[@Gearz-365]

They're also rebuilding a T1 Duplex, a Claud Hamilton, a Crampton, and another one too

[@Hawkers02]

And the people who built Tornado are now building a new P2 loco named, Prince of Wales

[@erickaraujo5327]

@@Hawkers02 the Bluebell Railway is building a new H1 Atlantic and the Severn Valley Railway is building a BR 3MT 2-6-2 82000 tank engine and 2 GWR locomotives are being build the GWR 6800 Grange class 6880 Betton Grange and GWR 1000 County class 1014 County of Glamorgan and also a LMS Class Patriot 5551 The Unknown Warrior is being build

@@erickaraujo5327 We should not be building new locos to burn fossil fuel and cause global warming climate change. We need to cut existing steam locos for scrap and melt down the metals to make cleaner modern traction.

[@muhammadzaidan1982]

Yes

[@kingorry7223]

I had no idea, many of these were new builds, would you call Railmotor 93, a new build tho?

[@jacobditmars8414]

Based upon technicality, yes. The coach body is original but the locomotive part is new. Depends on which you focus on.

[@gerardsnewnormal8447]

Just like the skarloey railway in Thomas

(Waiting on that one person to bring up Big Boy...) WHERE IS IT?! Jk

[@melanierhianna]

Big Boy isn't a new build. These are all NEW steam locos. For example none of the locomotives of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway survived so one line, the Ffestiniog built Lyd as a new one based upon three that did exist, and the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway group (a preservation group) had Lyn built as a copy of the original Lyn. These are all less than 20 years old. There's loads of restored locos which don't feature in this.

[@Rail4472]

@@melanierhianna that was the joke lol. I'm aware that Big Boy isn't a new build, but others get fooled into believing it is.

[@the4tierbridge]

[@preservedrailway]

? All these locomotives have been built since 2000

[@AndyProper]

You mean overhauled right ? In the us every 10 years a steam locomotive has a mandatory inspection and rebuild. I could be wrong but I do believe Europe has the same law.

[@preservedrailway]

@@AndyProper while yes locomotives in UK need a complete overhaul with boiler out of frames every 10 years, all the locomotives in this video have been built this century for either preserved line or main line use (plus some miniature locomotives too)

[@karlrovey]

@@AndyProper They are replicas of older locomotives. These replicas have been built since 2000.

[@jacobditmars8414]

@@AndyProper by new build, he dose mean built from scratch in this century. Sure the originals may have existed before, but these locomotives are brand new.
