Great Vid mate... did you know the first twelve Patriots were actually rebuilds of the LNWR (London North Western Railway) Claughton Class 4-6-0 loco's. The differed from the LMS new build ones by having large wheel hubs, as they used the Claughtons wheels and frames. Love the vid, well researched and very informative. Keep up the good work

Many thanks for a superb very professionally put together documentary, which brilliantly answered my google search question for which locomotives have never been preserved. Thank you so much ! I totally agree with your choice for "Number 1" !

[@Tom-Lahaye]

The Dunalastair class is extinct in the UK, but not completely, as in Belgium there is a locomotive of the type 18 class preserved, which was a development of the type 17 of the same railway. That type 17 in itself was a copy of the Dunalastair II class. Apart from the cab that looks different on the class 18 everything else looks exactly like a Dunalastair, they even used the same prussian blue color, altough it is now painted in the standard drab brown of the belgian state railways were it ran in later, before the merging of the Belgian state railways and the Nord into NMBS, when it changed into green. The locomotive is on static display in the new Train World in Schaarbeek (Brussels) and it's not likely to run in the future (as is the case with GNoSR and NBR 4-4-0's that are preserved)

6:07 I love the E2's but really the were rubbish at work because the bounced about and that made the coaches bounce and there brakes were so sharp the trucks would brake a way. The only way the survived till the 60's because the southern railway and the southern rigen didn't have eanoth money to replace them

[@erical6338]

@@PreservationEnthusiast Not the original model, but in the books he is an E2 before his breakfast crash, I'm told. He was based on the 2nd batch in the illustrations, but in some illustrations, he's too short in length due to illustrator error. The short illustrations gave birth to his TV self. His TV model's got the dip in the front of the running board, though. The 6 wheels and those 2 circles by the cab remind me of Thomas, too.

Thanks for this interesting compillation. Did any of the SOUTHERN Z class 0-8-0 survive into preservation?These locomotives were designed for freight yard shunting and trip working, but I remember them when they were deployed at EXETER CENTRAL for working the goods yards, but principally on banking duties up the 1 in 37 up from Exeter St. Davids to Exeter Central.

[@PendennisCastle]

No, unfortunately, all of them were scrapped.

[@EngineerRailMan]

I heard the E2s replaced those class in the 1930s

[@hassanburrows8535]

Correct. During WW2 they replaced the Z class at Hither Green. Other classes used on banking duties between Exeter St Davids and Exeter Central were the E1R 062T and W 264T. I never saw the E1R class. In addition the M7 044 and Standard Class 262 also performed this role as required, occasionally an ex GWR 060 pannier tank. Into dieselisation, the Meldon Quarry stone trains has a Hymec or Warship class loco at the head, and were banked by a baby Warship in the rear.

[@MrBryansseals]

The only classes that I would have included as alternatives would have been either the GNR K2 or K3 classes, of which members of both classes existed in the early 1960's

[@logotrikes]

I think what BR did was scandalous, offing some perfectly good steam loco's in the rush to "dieselisation". Mongrels I reckon...some of them had done less than 10 years service. Dai Woodham was a saint, putting the loco's to one side while he scrapped the more lucrative wagon stock, long enough for preservation societies to come into being and rescue over 200 of the unfortunates. Thanks to him the UK now has enough loco's to see steam well into the future...

[@martinsims1273]

The policy makers in BR weren't interested in the sensible option (which was to make the best use of the financial capital, and use the steam loco stock for it's full practical life span, until it was worn out, thus getting the best long term, proper financial value out of them, which as an (incidental, and nice) offshoot would have seen Britain still with steam traction for many more years. No, they were besotted with their new "fashion statement" "modern image", and the money they had to spend on it/throw away, was not theirs, i.e; it was public money raised from taxes, so that it did not hurt their own pockets to squander it. No proper, right thinking business would spend bucket loads of money on building new equipment (as BR did with the BR standard steam loco fleet), only to then scrap it all wastefully, within a very few short years of being built new. And they weren't held accountable (not to the public) for their grossly squandering, wasteful actions. Was it ever so with government officials, who hide behind none accountability in beaurocratic departments?

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@martinsims1273 Well one can argue they saved money because maintaining, cleaning, and starting up steam locos was a big drag on labour. Also only 2/3 the number of diesel and electric locos could do the same job. But where they really went wrong was wasting money on producing the BR standards in the first place. It was a disputed project and somewhat of a vanity exercise for Riddles & Co. It would have been possible to continue with the designs of the 30s and 40s till other forms of traction took over in the 50s and 60s. Pretty much what happened in the USA for example.

[@johnrichards6352]

All good candidates for replica building, Pendennis, but might I put in a plea for some of the long gone early locos of the 1840s or 50s, like the 'Jenny Lind', 'Sharpie', and 'Crampton' types. They would be easy enough to reconstruct, being not much larger than a modern 0-6-0, and would look marvellous on preserved railways, especially if suitable carriages were built to go with them. Anyway, thanks for an interesting video!

[@martinsims1273]

Very good, and a worthwhile listen. Thank you, but I would have liked to see a mention of the MR/LMS 2p 4-4-0's. It has to be said though, that far too many steam locomotive classes were scrapped into extinction, e.g: GW Grange's, Beyer Garratt's, Patriot's, Southern class Z 0-8-0 tank's etc., etc.

I may not be British, but Lawson and I were probably descended from Germans who moved to England with the surname "Billington". And then some of them moved to colonial America (my ancestors), while the rest (Lawson's) stayed. It's only a theory altogether, but it's pretty very valid.
