I've always found British locomotives more aesthetically pleasing compared to American steam locomotives. The Flying Scotsman looks cursed with the American modifications in my opinion.

Well British engines are more good at the lines and curves in my opinion American engines are good at looking badass I mean big boy it has so much crap on it but that's what makes it look strong and big as well as the actual size of it and it is actually the most powerful steam engine an American engine and it still exists there is one in a railway in Utah I think

Your pronunciation of Duke of Gloucester made me chuckle. But still a very well researched video and I enjoyed it. A fun fact: The Duchess of Hamilton engine, when returned to the UK, it was 'rebuilt'. All of the air smooth casings removed to make maintenance simpler and easier. It spent many decades in this form, long into its preservation days. When it was finally withdrawn, it was then sent to the National Railway Museum in York and the decision was made to re-install its air smooth casings. So now we see it in its original form. Maybe, one day, just maybe we might actually see it return to steam in its original form. I truly would love to see that!

As a British railfan in Canada I really enjoyed this. Since you mentioned LNER no. 4489 "Dominion of Canada" in the Canadian Railway Museum in Montreal, I'd like to point out that they also have London Brighton & South Coast Railway 0-6-0T no. 54 "Waddon." I think it came over at the same time as 4489 but I'm not sure.

Most Australian locos are just a big mix of Americn and European design, such as the WAGR L class, just a shortened SD40-2. Or how about 3801? It's like Scotsman and a New Haven I5 had a baby.

Apparently the identities of 6100 'Royal Scot' and 6152 'The King's Dragoon Guardsman' were never swapped back when the real 6152 returned home. So that means the preserved 46100 is actually 46152. I don't remember where I heard that story, and I certainly can't verify if it's true or not. I find it so odd that British engines ever visited the US; they just look so out of place amongst the bigger American engines. As for that LIRR M7 tank engine (sorry, I meant LSWR), she is one of two M7s that survived into preservation. The other one is LSWR No. 245, which is part of the National Collection in York.

A very informative video, thank you. Just one point in your pronunciation of 7100 Duke of Gloucester, the county after which it is named is pronounced Gloster not Glou-Cester as you pronounced it. Not a deal breaker for the video but something us Brits notice easily ;) Have you done a video on American/Canadian locomotives to have seen service in the UK? I can easily think of a few both Standard Gauge and Narrow Gauge that crossed the pond in this direction, from the WW1 War Department narrow gauge locos by ALCo and Baldwin to the Standard Gauge war engines that were destined for Europe during WW2.

Had to send away to the U.K. for them, and all proudly say "Made in Britain", so I guess I'm carrying on the tradition in miniature.

In a vaguely similar (miniature) vein, as a 3-rail O-Gauge operator/collector here in the US, I once bought a Lionel Hogwarts Express set, then added six more coaches to make the consist resemble the railtours pulled by _Olton Hall_ in the UK, but as a _Flying Scotsman_ -esque 'what if' train. As if that wasn't enough, not long ago, I acquired through chance discoveries, a number of Lima O scale UK/EU rolling stock, including two UK Mark-1 coaches (LMS + Great Western), five UIC coaches (DB, SBB/CFF, 3xSNCF) and a couple of freight wagons. Just this week bought from Ebay three more Mk1 coaches in LMS livery and a 4-axle tank wagon. Why do this? Mostly to present the oddball sight of UK/EU rolling stock operating alongside my more typical US 3-rail 'O' trains. Of course shipping from the UK is just cost-prohibitive (often costing much more than the selling price of individual cars) so I have to limit my efforts to examples already in the US. There is the twin issues of incompatible couplers and these cars being made for 2-rail track, but I have the means to overcome those.

In regards to steam engines, I believe there was one shay that was built in the U.S. and brought over to Britain for a small railway a while ago, but I'm currently trying to obtain more research on this engine.

Near impossible for normal service US or Australian standard gauge steam to run in the UK. This is due to the UK structure/loading gauge being so much more restricted in height and width compared to Australia and especially the USA. Those US designs that did run in the UK were specially built to be smaller to fit the height and width restrictions. From the 1890s Lovett Eames 4-2-2 then the GNR, MR and GCR US built 2-6-0s ordered around 1900 at a time of locomotive shortages. Lots of US locomotives built for export to Australia. The most accessible are the Baldwin design 2-6-2T 2 ft 6 in gauge locomotives used on the Puffing Billy railway to this day. Although the Baldwin built pair were worn out and scrapped by the 1920s. The locally built versions from the VR Newport Workshops have quite a few still running providing a daily service.

As a British train purist, I am not very fond of the S100 USA tanks and S160 as they look very out of place alongside British engines. I can't imagine what it would be like to see Pendennis Castle or the Terrier amongst American locos.

It's partially a matter of geographical size. The United Kingdom is smaller than the United States, so its rail network is bound to be more compact and practical, whereas the United States' rail network is generally not.

@falfan7.62 You're right. It also happens that a lot of other British imports were rostered by that railroad too. However, Nova Scotia is not part of the U.S. and it wouldn't qualify to be included in this video. I'll try to see if I can mention this railroad and its diverse roster somehow in the future though.

IT WOULD BE FUN TO SEE THE UNION PACIFIC 4014 TAKE A ROMP AND STOP THROUGH BRITAIN THEN THROUGH THE CHUNNEL TO EUROPE, IF THE CLEARANCE STANDARDS COULD HANDLE IT! DURING WW2 THERE WERE ASTOUNDED GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR INTERNED IN USA WHO SAW THE BIG BOYS IN ACTION, THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT AN ENEMY THAT COULD BUILD SUCH A MASSIVE ENGINE!

@@Pensyfan19 They did go into administration, but didn’t last long enough I presume. I know this, because I know someone who works for Network Rail in Bletchley as a signaller and there aren’t any trains running on the Marston Vale line, due to the bankruptcy of Vivarail; a line that I also need to go to Northampton Town from Kettering, Northamptonshire. So I now rely on long distance buses now. London and Northwestern Railway (L.N.R.) relies on Vivarail, as Vivarail owns the trains and L.N.R. only operates them.
