11:28 18:35 many of you may not know this, but this is the seldom seen second footage of the experimental LNER W1 No.10000 (at the time this was filmed, she was rebuilt into a A4 Styled engine). Her tender survived into preservation with LNER A4 60009 Union Of South Africa. 60009’s tender shows some modifications to its front, these are very small modifications, but they do tell the origin of the tender. No.10000 was the only Hudson built in Britain, no other 4-6-4’s were built ever. The rebuilt W1, was scrapped at Doncaster in 1959 by British Railways, however her tender (No.5484) was kept and eventually was coupled to its current engine: A4 No.60009, which was preserved.

Yep, saw the Nbr 10000 and thought that’s odd so looked it up…

Gorgeous vidéo @

Some of the locomotives looks like Thomas and friends and we see a troublesome truck also , this is awesome

[@billywashburn1648]

Was hoping to see more of Mildenhall.

[@tonybrewer9760]

The streamlining on the A4s that partially covered the driving wheels was removed during WW2 so "Scottish Express" must be post-war. A quick search found that the film is from 1946.

Great Northern being "rebuilt" in the Plant. I saw this engine twice decades ago but the W1 only once.

[@Steven_Rowe]

I note the Thopson Pacific at 17.37. It is a rebuild of Gresleys very first Pacific Great Northern built in 1922.

[@harrydebastardeharris987]

I wonder how many lines would be reinstated now suburbs have filled in the gaps between the towns and the roads have filled with cars.

[@thedogschannel.4769]

Anyone got any footage of steam on the London tilbury and Southend line?

[@Robert-mi9nr]

Caractacus Potts built his railway to in the kitchen is this a novelty to build railways in kitchen

12:40 This LNER Gresley Streamlined A4 Pacific Express Steam Locomotive Dwight D Eisenhower A Bit Like Mallard Which Is Used For The London And North Eastern Railway's Famous Named Trains Such As The Capital's Limited And Of Course The Flying Scotsman Express Train Running From London Kings Cross In London In England To Edinburgh In Scotland In The United Kingdom. Thanks Mate. X

Brief glance of the hush hush

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to see the rebuilt W1 4-6-4, but have fond memories of the A1, A2, A3, A4 and the other locos at Grantham, before the diesels took over.

[@grahamkent2868]

All very nice but hugely labour intensive and I suspect many people suffered from hearing and lung damage, better off with the modern electric traction, good video though, really enjoyed it.

[@thusgordonplot4721]

Wow

[@rosewhite---]

can anyone recognise the streak at 1:42?

[@glenjaques5581]

So sad all these lines closed seems like such shortsightedness but what do I know I'm sure someone will enlighten me 😂

[@TheStickCollector]

Nice You don't see the Scottish side at all besides lms or Scotsman

[@bobbysenterprises3220]

Wow. @4:40 They were being inclusive but today in the US this actualy meets the definition of sexual harassment in the workplace
