The Best Show of Steam Locomotives EVER? - The Wolsztyn Parade 2011 - 2014 - Chasing Dinosaurs Ep 30

Hello Everyone,
- - lots of whistling in this one for you headphone users - -
Today we take a look back in time to long before LMM was even a twinkle in Lawrie's eye - but he was very much still going and filming things (poorly)
The footage in this video covers 4 years of the Wolsztyn Parade with a fleet of huge locomotives hurtling past - so enjoy.
For more information on this years parade, check the website here:

Great video Lawrie. As a guy from Czechia I´m sad to see all of our engines that made an appearance in this video are not in working condition right now. The CSD 477.043 needs a new boiler. CSD 475.101 had an overhaul but didnt run since. CSD 534.0432 need a new boiler as well. CSD 464.008 is in a overhaul for 3 years now. CSD 498.104 is in Slovakia and it has a fault on the boiler. And last the CSD 475.179 need a new boiler after it cracking while running a charter train 2 years ago. CSD means Czechoslovak State Railways btw.

[@rohlicek3884]

Atleast they are saved from the scrappers torch

[@Luck00001]

czechoslovakia home of the boiler problem

[@rohlicek3884]

@@Luck00001 i mean yea

[@BiggsHobbies]

Love to see all these engines! Its kind of sad to think that those proud parades were some of the last times some of those engines were in steam. All the same, wonderful video, and wonderful engines!

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@guidor.4161]

I love tank engines. That blue Czech 4-8-4T (or 2-D-2T) is lovely and most impressive. Must be one of the largest around...

[@lmm]

It's an incredible locomotive. I think it had a bunk in it too

[@marty6779]

I had a chance to see it when it visited Austria years ago.

[@SunshineArsenal]

Finally it’s nice to put the clips in your Chasing dinosaurs intro of this to a video🎉

[@lmm]

It's only taken 13 years!

[@bwilesuk]

*watches with headphones*. I will never recover from this audio

[@lmm]

I've listened to it alot more with headphones

[@bwilesuk]

@@lmm we will be deaf together. But then, I don’t spend so much time on footplates

Wonderful sight!! I could watch and listen to this all night!!

[@lmm]

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it

[@Madonsteamrailways]

@@lmm I’ve enjoyed all the videos you’ve shared, Lawrence!! Not only are you a brilliant videographer, you’re also very interesting and your subject is of great interest to me!!

[@ramseybarber8312]

Nice one Lawrie , Good to see a load of engines and people having a day's FUN , Cheers

[@lmm]

Was a good event

[@vincecrysler3821]

Glad I fell upon your video. It reminded me of a trip I took from Canada in 1990 to visit my sister who was teaching in the mountains of southern Pɔland. Although most of mainline runs were electrified, I did witness steam running in smaller towns and on switching duties in Warsaw and Cracow. Thank you, I really enjoyed the memories.

[@lmm]

You're most welcome!

[@frogandspanner]

0:00 I had my suit measurements taken by a lass I though was Polish, and out of an intention to be polite thanked her by saying "Dziękuję", she glared at me and proclaimed "I am Czech". I was quite pleased as it shown my pronunciation was considered Polish.

[@lmm]

😂 😂 😂

[@paulhorn2665]

Thats the steam event I ever missed. Because nobody wanted to go there with me and I did not want to go alone.

[@lmm]

It's been an amazing experience

[@LondontransporduckL99]

It's so beautiful

[@lmm]

It is!

[@szymex2222]

Cool video and yes and Wolsztyn line is very unique :D!

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

I made it halfway thru. All the whistling did my head in.

[@lmm]

It is excessive

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

And what’s worse is how discordant they sound. Those shrill single chime whistles just sound horrible. I don’t see why European railways never adopted chime whistles like the ones in the United States and many countries in the Pacific. They sound way more musical and are way easier on the ears than the hideous-sounding single chimes in this video.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

*Great video!*

[@michaelmiller641]

Fantastic!

[@lmm]

Thanks!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Mike goes over annually for this very event!! He’s still healthy enough to drive trains over there!!

[@lmm]

Not anymore I guess

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Not for a year or so. Poor Mike is now diagnosed with diabetes!! No railway with any sense would take him to the footplate!!

[@antekspotter]

Great movie!

[@lmm]

Thanks!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

A friend of mine at my local model railway club has actually driven one of these monsters!! They’re great, aren’t they?!!

[@lmm]

Amazing machines

[@Weird...101]

7:22 MY ENGINE albatros, She still is workin

[@lmm]

Pleased to hear that - it's an amazing thing

[@aliciashepherd8912]

That blue engine almost looks like Thomas

[@lmm]

It's quite a different beastie

[@androidemulator6952]

WOW! just WOW ! 🥰🥰🥰

[@lmm]

Amazing isn't it

[@raymondleggs5508]

Steam locomotive lover's delight!

[@roberthocking9138]

Great footage but it should come with a whistle warning, I had to remove my headphones asap it nearly blew my mind 😂, they sure love their whistles

[@lmm]

They really do

[@warrior3456_]

nice video

[@lmm]

Thank you

[@kentishman5179]

Soo much whistles, it hurts.

[@lmm]

It did at the time

[@mioszsztajner5592]

I recall there was a time where a British tank engine visited Wolsztyn

[@lmm]

Yes, there was a GWR prairie there for a while

[@bentullett6068]

They seem to like their whistles. Its sad to know some of these locomotives are currently in disrepair or on the verge of being scrapped.

[@lmm]

It's very sad, only one of the 5 engines that were based in Wolsztyn over that period is still working

[@Gale_epic]

​@@lmmlike PT47-65

[@Mr_wally]

How can a loco go that bad in a matter of years (number 7)

[@lmm]

It's a over a Decade worth of decay

[@Mr_wally]

@@lmm wow and the fact it hasn’t been turned into scrap

[@tomwood9401]

I’ve seen videos of a GWR large prairie tank at an event like this in Poland

[@lmm]

Yes, it was out before I visited

[@raymondleggs5508]

Wooooooooooo!!!!!

[@judicator375]

You know those videos with the rubber toy chickens that reeeeeeeee en masse when they inflate? This appears to be the steam equivalent. My poor ears! still kinda cool though! and that Ol12-7 is such an interesting looking engine.

[@lmm]

Yeah, shows the development to the Ol49!

[@poshdan4071]

Didn’t a GWR prairie attend once?

[@lmm]

It did indeed

[@Lee.gRC27]

And they say you can't smell a picture, well I disagree 😊

[@lmm]

😂 😂

[@1toonhead]

As much as I love steam, too much whistling is just ruining it. I wanna hear those engines work not just blow a whistle.

[@EMEME27655]

I am jalous❤

[@lmm]

It was pretty special

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

My god those whistles sound terrible. I mean no disrespect to the people who own those locomotives, but they sound horrible with those single-chime whistles. If you ask me, I personally think that every locomotive in this video deserves either a deep-toned hooter or a nice, good sounding chime whistle.
