Typhoon meets Flying Scotsman

Our 90th anniversary celebrations begun with Typhoon meeting Flying Scotsman at the Bluebell Railway this April.
Join us for our 90th Anniversary Birthday Party on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th July to commemorate the opening of the Railway to the public in 1927. We will be honouring the numerous people who have played their part in its success over the years. Jam-packed with historical content including events and re-enactments, all led by the Railway's dedicated Heritage Group.
The mentioned book- Romney: Then and Now is available to pre-order via www.rhdr.org.uk
Thank you to Dead Ready Productions for video supply and production.

Flying Scotsman: You haven't changed much old friend Typhoon: Well you sure have changed a lot - where'd you get a set of deflectors?

[@trainfan-ks5hk]

Typhoon: Allo allo allo here’s a sight for sore boilers avent seen you since the 1927 Scotsman: Is that Typhoon I hear I haven’t seen you since that photo 90 years ago

[@1987VCRProductions]

Austin1987VCR March 4 is my birthday.

[@silvadic2207]

I hope he’s happy. He got to see what he did for everyone when he saved the engines, I hope he was proud to do the big action, now redone 90 years later.

[@ninjaclarkson3723]

Seeing 2 old friends back together again makes me smile

[@jacobjohnston1218]

let's get them back together on the 100th anniversary

Older Brother and Little Sister Locomotive Relationship. How Cute, England!

[@mcguireshepherd]

2:41, love the narrow gauge version Flying Scotsman as LNER 4472 in the background.

[@Palkia792]

That is an amazing recreation. 90 years apart and this memory lives on. Fantastic

[@benters3509]

I rode the RHDR as a child back in the late fifties, early sixties. Still have the B&W photos somewhere. Now as a resident of Tombstone, AZ, it makes me wish we had attractions like this over here.

[@mikdavies5027]

Benters. I live in Kent and regularly visit the RHDR. A few years ago I repeated the railway experience of taking my eldest grand-daughter on it with my youngest grand-daughter, who is now 20 years old. I think that she would jump at the chance again if I asked her. An iconic railway and, I think, STILL the smallest public railway in the world. Wish you well, Benters.

[@finn.bs8]

That's really nice giving flying Scotsman is my favourite locomotive

[@richardjoganah1871]

Nice video ,two lovely steam engines ,nice to see young girl and her mum into steam engines 😊

[@splonko9788]

I can just imagine the dialogue these two would have

[@jerrodp3572]

How cute is typhoon?

[@TheLegoCreationist]

I think of typhoon as a little sibling compared to scotsman

[@herrbonk2211]

The lego creationist it’s not, you can only consider engines as “siblings” if they are thesame class, Typhoon is just the cousin of the famous scotsman

[@tencents6]

Or a child.

[@alfimate3712]

It’s beautiful when you think about it Typhoon and Scotsman haven’t seen each other since 1927, the little brother is finally reunited with his big brother

[@austinyingst5902]

Marvelous stuff. Hooray for both of them. That we do so well after 90 years. Thanks.

[@awildjared1396]

I personally that diesels take all the romance out of railroading, so it's good to know that both miniature and full scale steam are still running :D

[@Flight-wo6jn]

I am proud to say I cried during this. This really goes to show how dedicated we all are to the cause of steam... ride strong RHDR, for another ninety and so many more.

[@adamphelan7671]

Preservation is all about having fun, this was wonderful to see!

[@playerboonFactolarin]

Like father like son Father:flying Scotsman Son:tycoon

[@mcguireshepherd]

Typhoon, not Tycoon.

[@Nubfist]

I can’t believe that Sir William McAlpine is responsible for both of those engines staying up and running! It really brings a tear to the eye

[@borghome]

Just got back home 10 minutes ago after watching the Scotsman puff pass my local station

[@SoRTs6233]

Thanks for creating a piece of modern history

[@kansasstatealerting717]

2 beautiful locomotives.

[@RomneyHytheDymchurchRailway]

Indeed!

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@RomneyHytheDymchurchRailway is typhoon based on flying Scotsman?

[@DVR01]

Typhoon and Flying Scotsman are both twins each in different sizes and gauges. I hope Typhoon will be part of Thomas and Friends one day.

[@brucetharpe762]

If only Alan Pegler was there. He is my hero!

[@therealawgm]

Like the little and big friends being united again

[@darkchaotix1productions326]

How cute

[@jacobisaacfurniss6242]

RHADR is still on my bucket list, but I'd also love to see the Bluebell again.

[@michaelhosking8150]

Fantastic!

[@TheMJKnight]

3:23 nice touch :)

[@herrbonk2211]

Flying Scotsman The People’s Engine Class A3 of Nigel Gresley

[@oliverbooth2872]

Interesting that both Scotsman and typhoon have gained smoke deflectors since 1927, almost a shame that the former hasnt got hers on in the shot

[@toyertoysyt3065]

Great to have theme back to back together again

[@bellahpetersen1733]

Like father like son 😗😘😙😚

[@chanceamirian6522]

Typhoon looks alot similar to Henry in his old shape

[@elimillor9794]

That’s awesome

[@michaelfield3901]

Typhoon thinks: "Oh my gosh, it's him, it's him!" 😃

[@ViratMiitopia]

To me typhoon is like a little brother to flying Scotsman.

[@sulerkyaruca9989]

I love it

Flying Scotsman had a different tender in 1927...

[@therealawgm]

You made that picture take it in 1927

[@DolphinLegend-bg8ph]

0:31 a engine similar looks like city of truro

[@nhtheintrovert5679]

why is the british railway flying scotsman hey instead of the LNER flying scotsman?

[@AndrewN75]

Because, engineering wise, she is in her final BR form with, among other things, kylchap double blast pipe and German style deflectors. I dont like them myself but...

[@Raul1971xxx]

One between the other.. Father & son.. 👍👍🚂🚂♥️♥️🇪🇸🇪🇸
