A big thanks to the people that have restored and keep running these magnificent locos running! without them they would only be history.

[@michaelserby7697]

Who maintains these great steam trains ? ♥️ 🤔 😎

[@SuperTamaru]

@@michaelserby7697 Most of the time it is independent associations with a desire to keep them running. They also run museums in conjunction with their heritage railways, which are often closed down lines who are no longer in use.

[@markpritchard]

Love seeing them at speed. Much nicer to see them out doing what they were designed to do rather then stuck in a museum.

[@trespire]

+mark pritchard The best way to preserve any machine is to maintain & use it as designed.

[@markpritchard]

Defiantly agree there. I wouldn't like to see any steam loco get cut up. But there a lot more fun when you can here them with the smell the hot oil and smoke.

[@SuperScratch1]

They may not be as powerful as diesels or electrics but jesus they are beautiful !!!

[@3RTracing]

Actually, if you do the math on a higher power locomotive like this one, it is as powerful as the current fleet of diesels. Keep in mind, that trains that were pulled to very high speeds by one Steam locomotive, are now pulled by many diesels. I saw somewhere that this steam locomotive is somewhere around 10K horsepower. The big boys in the US UP fleet were also very high horsepower, and they were used in the early diesel days to help the trains to get over big passes where the diesels were just not powerful enough.

[@kyovalye5942]

They are capable of as much power as many modern diesels, but they require more maintenance, and are prone to slipping.

[@wharris302]

3RTracing actually modern trains are more powerful, the most powerful steam train has around 6000bho and that's big boy, modern electrics can have way over 10,000bhp and like 300,000 traction effort or something crazy like that

I'm french and I have known steam machines when I was young boy. We lived in suburb of Paris and sometimes,for her shop, my Grand Mother bring me to Paris to buy merchandises .We arrived at the great station named St Lazare.There were many steam machines but also all these of the electrified railroad network.It was in the mid sixties and juste before the seventies. In that moment when I write these lines ,I'm also reading a book writen by Clive Lamming ,a notorious specialist of the topic.Title is : British trains and railroad networks from tradition to modernity (1901-2000)!!!!Published in french by Atlas editions several years before. So I want to congratulate the author of this video such his work is perfect.Pictures,variety of steam machines,only the sound of these beautiful trains in stations ,counties , night and day. It is merely extraordinary to see the same machines I discover in my book ,but this time in live . From dream generates by pictures to reality nowadays!!! And we have also all the descriptions of the trains , names and types of machines.Very very respectable work. A great documentary on the British legends of the era of steam machines : Mallard,Bulleid,Flying Scotsman ,City of Truro and so much etc etc... For me these machines have a soul.At a moment we can see a steam machine and after, a recent train issue of modern technology.In the first case soul of man is speaking to us, in the second case, as modern cars :zero interest ,robotic work , no name ,no dream , no magical feeling. As for us with the TGV : a train to bring people from "A" point to "X" point, but not to travel ,to visit country , to spend our time to take time.... A triple hurrah to the British engineers who conceived these extraordinaries machines : William Dean for his "City of Truro" the first to reach the barrier of 100mph, George Jackson Churchward young engeineer implicated in Great Western Railway realisations, Nigel Gresley for his K, A1, A4, Herbert William Garratt who saved the Beyer-Peacock Company, Chief mechanical engineer C.B.Collett, William Stanier And so and so . Thank you so much to give the possibility to see these historical legends of the British railway steam machines!!

In technical world, nothing is more beautiful than a running railway steam locomotive. The performance of the running gear is really a wonderful sight.

[@ShawnTheDriver]

This is one of the reasons I want to visit the UK so badly. Looks as if steam trains aren’t nearly as rare of a sight over there than they are here in the US. The shots of them blasting across the countryside, without a diesel helper engine, make me smile.

[@ZazzelTheGamer]

The desail helper engine is to power the coaches. Not to help the train

[@TheRedFloofball_Foxy]

@@ZazzelTheGamerPretty sure the diesel at the back is to run the train in the opposite direction out of stations with no run-around track

This is one of the things I love most about steam engines; they've all got their own personalities. The sound of their wheels and pistons whirring along the rails, their whistles, you'd have to look hard to try and find two engines that sound so similar, and even then, there's bound to be a few small differences. We should seriously bring steam back into regular service around the world. Bring back the railroads!

[@TAVSWHBIII]

I'm American and I can see Great Britain has some really gorgeous steam engines. I see the "side pipes" of engines are all enclosed. I like the colors of the engines, too. That was a great shot of a Mallard.

[@borderlands6606]

After nationalisation in 1948 some British Railways locomotives had exposed pipework in the American style for reasons of efficiency, but they were the exception. There were even some US locos running on British tracks, mainly shunters (switchers) left over after the war.

Thank God there were people with cameras and foresight who recorded them in full flight. The main 'Con Rod' which ties the wheels together took 8 men to lift it onto the wheels and to see it flying round as if it were made of balsa wood gives some idea of the massive strength of these machines. my sincere thanks to you guys with cameras and brains enough to know how to use them. this display of strength and speed makes 'Jurassic Park' look like childsplay.

[@Rosie6857]

I am of that generation (born 1942). You actually got used to steam trains so that if the engine was commonplace (e.g. a Black 5) it all became a bit boring, believe it or not. Knowing what the real thing was like has given me a subversive attitude towards engine cleanliness. All very well express engines looking shiny and spruce but when you see a routine mixed-traffic loco (a Hall, say) done up to the nines it just looks unreal. Halls should be at least grubby otherwise they look like brickies at a wedding. Apologies to all brickies, skilled people.

Wenn wir, in meiner Kindheit, im Sommer,. nachTirol auf Urlaub fuhren, ging mein Vater mit mir immer vor die Lok anschauen. Da stand sie da, die mächtige, schwarze Schnellzugslok mit ihren, über 2 Meter hohen, schlanken Rädern. Zischend und fauchend wie ein Tieger vor dem Sprung. Dieses Bild von Macht, Größe und dabei filigraner Eleganz, bleibt mir, bis heute im Gedächtnis haften. Es war wunderschön und hatte noch Stil, aber es kommt nie mehr wieder.

Flashed through the Station very fast but not fast enough I could not read the nameplate on the Smoke Deflectors. Vivid memory for obvious reasons and sewed the seeds of a lifetime's interest in transport. With flashing golden con-rods, 70013 looked brand new that day. Later, I discovered it had left the works where it was newly built not long before I saw it.

There's just something with steam engines when they come past at speed. I don't know if it's their much louder noise level compared to diesels or their whistles when they're used but something about a steam engine coming down the line at you, whistle blazing, just gives off that "I'm fast and powerful so get the fuck out of my way or you'll get splattered" feeling. Don't get me wrong, I love diesels. They got that "workhorse" feel to them (maybe that's just because the only trains I've seen in person are freight trains pulled by diesels) but nothing will top a steamer.

Great Steam Train classics in a beautiful part of the World. If only my Country would do more to preserve our Steam Trains but none of our past or present Governments have enough brains.

+Denis May Right on, the British and Europeans protect and preserve a lot of their heritage, especially the trains while we destroy everything meaningful to create more towers of greed and arrogance and turn landmark buildings into asphalt parking lots. My brother and I can remember standing on the landing watching the old steam trains come in to the depot in the early 1950s. At least UP is refurbishing Big Boy.

+Denis May Hi Dennis most if not all the locos you see on here were saved from the scrap yard buy groups of enthusiasts or private individuals. just part of the steam preservation movement. Over 1300 steam locos are in preservation along with coaches trucks ect and over 500 miles of the closed down bits of british branch lines are now heritage railways

[@TheSorub]

As a member of the Watercress Line , you are so right , all done by societys groups set up by people who love steam. Uk gov apart from regulations is not involved

American Steam engines have the deep "choo choo" sound, while British engines have the high pitched "Peep peep" sound.

God they are beautiful, every single one of them, they were the backbone of Britain during the dark days of Europe, the thought of being there at that time watching them fly past the country fields on a cold crisp day and thinking, “God speed you legends, we’ll chase them all the way back to Berlin with the finest locomotives in Europe! Keep up the good work chaps!”

[@smilyboi9847]

They may be old but they still have plenty of steam left in them *Badumtss* I’m so glad that steam engines are still in use or are at least preserved on heritage railways or in museums, these old girls ran the age of trains and do not deserve to be scrapped so suddenly! I know it may be hard to preserve them but at least we can still watch them on KZbin today or visit them in museums before they could get scrapped! The steam locomotive is the most iconic and unique of either diesel or electric which don’t really stick out, unlike their steam counterparts. Seeing an engine with a cylindrical boiler really does change the boringness of all locomotives looking square and boxy!

You have done a wonderful job making this video, it gets played several times per day for my 3 year old grandson who cannot get enough of it ... especially the Doppler effect at 19:00, the best example on KZbin.

1.5K giving thumbs down! It has to be people with no heart, no soul, or any other redeeming qualities for that matter. Thanks for posting these beautiful machines and English countryside. Enjoyed the video immensely.
