The 9Ns & The Failure Of The Great Central Railway

[@FlyingScott]

So uh yeah Sonic Models A5 review coming soon™

[@legdig]

OH sonic models, when I heard you say "sonic A5" it put the fear of god in me.

[@ThatScottishAtlantic57]

Jesus, the GCR was worse off than i thought! But the 9N's are handsome looking machines, you can't deny that.

[@HyperCat72]

Why hello there

[@joshslater2426]

Such an interesting and successful loco. It’s really a shame that none were preserved. We need to build a replica.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

The final batch, built between 1925 and 1926, went straight to the North East. The LNER Encyclopedia has a picture of 1756 at Redcar Central.

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

Crying shame the GCR is mostly gone. Could still see use today.

[@TheGWR0-4-0]

There are two parts of the GCR mainline preserved, the GCR from Loughborough to Leicester and the GCRN from Nottingham to Loughborough where I volunteer.

[@NicksPokeStop]

And soon they'll hopefully become one giant chunk of the GCML

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

And the GCR's Chiltern mainline still sees revenue earning service

[@JRS06]

I have a great fondness for the 9N's and their unusual design. It's a shame that they hailed from a railway that wasn't very sucessful. I would love to see a 9N preserved one day.

[@jvbndofvbnebe]

to say something positive about the GCR, at least part of their mainline resulted in the biggest heritage railway that currently exists. I do find their engines gorgeous, even though most of them were scrapped with only two remaining

[@hywelroberts1653]

It would have been nice to have at least ONE A5 preserved either in LNER Apple Green or Black with Red Lining

[@hywelroberts1653]

Forgot to say I hardly considor the Thompson L1's successful as they were known for shaking themselves to pieces for being so powerful. Also I don't really like the Thompson L1's anyway not just because of their problems but also because they replaced many of Gresley's V3's. Thank goodness a new V3 is planning on being built

[@AdiPullen]

Thank you for doing this video

[@retrogamelover2012]

You know, when both halves of the surviving GCR are reunited, they really ought to have a replica built of one of these engines.

[@TheSudrianTerrier653]

We’re getting a new GCR Engine, a Class 2 4-4-0, and we also have a surviving 8K and 11F

[@eef1704]

Nice vid as always!

[@theaccountofmine.8779]

Can you do an episode on the G.N.R(Ireland) V and Vs class 4-4-0s?

[@yeoldeseawitch]

question, have ANY GCR steam locomotives survived into preservation?

[@FlyingScott]

A grand total of two. A 11F 4-4-0 and an 8K 2-8-0, both in the hands of the NRM I believe. the 8K is undergoing restoration at the preserved GCR.

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

​@@FlyingScottand a new MSLR 2 4-4-0 is being built

[@smithmini2]

The problem with the GCR it didn’t stop at many places and it virtually follows the route of HS2.

[@twinboo529]

0:30 WOOHOO! GO WHITBY!! YEAH!!!

[@gilbertporter4992]

Good video as always! I have to ask at the last bit at 6:30, what station, town and bridge is that?

[@FlyingScott]

That would be Durham!

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

@@FlyingScott At 6:37 there's a speed restriction sign not painted black at its rear . . . . oops?

[@caledonianrailway1233]

I don’t know what to comment

[@dylangranger9129]

I’m pretty the gcr’s 4-6-0s were successful

[@Electric_Souls]

JNR C56s Maybe?

[@Ity698]

Hi, The Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway's nickname was 'money, sunk and lost!'

[@kellypaws]

Did you get it with sound? The sound file is thinner than a squirrel fart in a hurricane. Not best pleased.

[@FlyingScott]

I got a DC one actually (fitted with a spare Hatton's chip meant for the Hunslet), though the serviceability of the loco is something I myself am not pleased with.
