USATC S160 No 5820 'Big Jim' on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway - 2018 to 2020

What I love about this engine is it's also a symbol of the strong friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Even though if I remember reading right, it spent the entirety of it’s post war life in Poland.

@@MachRacer4 This particular one did, but I think he was just referring to the class in general. There were a few members of the class that did spend their wartime careers in Britain.

Especially recently it was the anniversary of D Day and these locomotives were important for the invasion efforts.

Very nicely put together presentation. A classic locomotive from Baldwin.Thanks for sharing this awesome video with us .

It's cool to see an American locomotive operating in England.

6 S160s are preserved in the UK with 4 S100s also in the UK

Travelled behind Big Jim about 30 years ago, amazing experience !!

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Beautiful video.

[@zacm.2342]

The big lad! Tied with the Ivatt as my favourite Worth Valley loco, looking forward to this!

I've rode this train a good few times, right there on the worth valley railway, a beautiful place, when I was a primary school aged kid ( 30 Yeats ago ) he seemed to have been there for a while as I remember going year after year with my dad and this was my favorite regular engine, very powerful. Then as I got a bit older he wasn't there anymore, my dad said he had gone back to America.

Great compilation. I hope to see him(?) again at the Worth Valley gala next year, fingers crossed there is one!

[@boxcarthehusky420]

That lempor exhaust sounds good.

[@BufferBoi]

At 0:51 it tries to whistle but then the safety valve pops off 😂

[@ZAV1944]

The S160 is a nice fusion of US and UK locomotive design.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

It’s essentially an American locomotive that’s been built smaller for European use. I like to think that they have a bit of a napoleon complex because of their small stature next to other American consolidations.

[@ZAV1944]

@@SouRwy4501Productions There is a engraving from the late 1800s comparing locomotives from the US, Britain, France, Germany, and British India and the American locomotive towered over the rest of them.

[@davidfuller581]

@@ZAV1944 American loading gauge is frankly kind of insane compared to almost everything else (save for Australia, who run USA-sized trains).

[@ZAV1944]

@@davidfuller581 My assumption was that they were bigger so they would have more power and endurance over the long distances of North America.

[@lukesrailvideos2940]

How is the whistle operated then? As I can’t see any visual steam when it sounds.

[@theextremeanimator4721]

It's hard to see the steam from the whistle

[@Gary-cvr23]

It runs off the air pump why im not sure theres an air tank ontop of the tender for the brakes and the whistle runs off of that

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Really lovely and great film, only spoiled by horrid mid roll ad, Happy Christmas
