Extremely beautiful locos, I wish more of them had been saved

I remember when the T9 was at the Dean Forest Railway with Met 1 and the Beattie Well Tank during the Flour Mill Steam Gala, 2nd July 2016, It was really a enjoyable experience riding behind the T9. Great Video

I know someone is going to hate me for this...but that engine reminds me of Edward from Thomas and Friends.

I love this locomotive... Simple but beautiful... Awesome...👍👍👍😉

Last time I saw this T9 she had pulled into Bodmin General and got her reverser gears stuck and had to be dragged out of the station for a quick repair by a little GWR pannier tank... Made my day seeing that

Just to let everybody know, because I said the steam locomotive looks exactly like Edward the blue engine. The truth is if you have an original copy of the book The Three Railway engines, Edward looks like a different-looking with a really tall funnel and a big dome on top of his boiler. A lot of people claim that the steam locomotive they are using to say of what Edward is, he basically looks like one of the 8 older steam locomotives the Furness Railway K2s. But mainly on the first original book of the three Railway engines of the Railway Series, because if you look at Edward on those original illustrations he was completely different. And looked exactly one of the original 8 older steam locomotives, the Furness Railway K2s. But then when the Rev W awdry and the Publishers was displeased with the original illustrations, when the three Railway engines was first published. They brought in a different artist and illustrator to provide better Quality and better looking scenery, The View and making the engine characters look more realistic. Even though they were a little cartoony, but still the way the artist as an illustrator did it was really good, and of course it was the artwork and I think still to this day the artwork that children appreciate. Because not only the artwork was cartoony, and had realistic Basics throughout the creativity of the illustrations. But the Publishers said that they were really friendly artwork, so no wonder children appreciated it. The illustrations and artwork that were done by C Regional Dobby. Anyway when C Regional Dobby took over as the illustrator, after the disapproval of the original artwork from the first publish books of the three Railway engines. Of course he made Gordon look more realistic, and looking like a real A3 Pacific steam locomotive. He even made Henry look more realistic, making Henry to look like a real big steam locomotive almost twice the size as Gordon. With Henry's original steam locomotive design, that hardcore Thomas fans and probably the Awdry family claim for Henry's original steam locomotive design to be a mix between an A1 Pacific and a C1 Atlantic. (And yes until the book Henry the Green Engine, C Regional Dobby redesign Henry to look like a 5MT black 5 steam locomotive.) But anyway unlike the original design of Edward the blue engine the Furness Railway K2, from the original illustrations of the first published three Railway engines book. Because from those illustrations it made Edward to look like a older looking steam locomotive, with a really tall funnel and a big dome on the top of his boiler. But anyway that was Edwards original design, from the original first published three Railway engines storybook, with the original illustrations and the original design of Edward. Because when C Regional Dobby took over later on, he gave a really different design for Edward. So not only we see it from the original C Regional Dobby artwork and illustrations, from the books of the three Railway engines to Percy the small engine. And then later on the design of Edward from those illustrations and artwork, continued with the other books later on. But the design of Edward made by C Regional Dobby, was improved for the TV show of Thomas and Friends. From the model animation to the current CGI animation. So if you look at both the TV show both model and CGI, and the original railway series storybooks. Edward with his current looking steam locomotive design, looks exactly like this steam locomotive from this video. So I should say Edwards original steam locomotive design from the ill-fated original illustrations and artwork, when the three Railway engines was first published back in 1945. Was based on one of the eight older steam locomotives Furness Railway K2s which no longer exist. But Edward's secondary and current design from C Regional Dobby's illustrations and artwork, for The Railway Series books later on. along with the other books of other illustrations and artwork, of Edward's secondary and current design later on, and the TV show. That secondary and current design of Edward the blue engine, looks exactly like this steam locomotive from this video the LSWR T9 steam locomotive. Edwards original design was supposed to be the Furness Railway K2 steam locomotive, but now Edward looks like the LSWR T9 steam locomotive. Even though the Furness Railway K2 steam locomotives are supposed to be older then LSWR T9 steam locomotives, but the K2 steam locomotives no longer exist because all eight of them have been scrapped. I guess so far the oldest steam locomotive in England is the LSWR T9 steam locomotive, and I guess the steam locomotive is perhaps the oldest locomotive in all of the UK

these sole SLIPs are pretty good

Superb work mate, another great sole SLIP. Cheers, Jack

These little bite sized eps are great, but it'd be great to see a full episode.

Can’t quite say why, but I’ve taken a good liking to this engine. It’s a charming little machine. Would love to see her in action.

Nice video! 120 was my first tender engine for haulage!

Rumour has it that in the dying days of BR they managed to get a T9 to hit 100mph, can't be sure where but I think it might have been the Kent Coast line.

Great Video as always, sadly (after working on her) I feel that Bodmin and Wenford have permanently knackered this amazing icon

Probably my favourite Victorian locomotive

"...Nearly"? Is that to say you're not a T9 fan yourself, Chris?

Just about recovered from our last journey behind her and a Black Five up from Alton last weekend!!!

A rather handsome engine, I like it.

It's looks kinda weird with GWR locos surrounding it but great vid

Personally, I think this looks more like Edward unlike the K2s

Hmm…I wonder. Do you have any plans to review the LNER's surviving 0-4-0 tanks? Particularly the Y5?

This steam locomotive looks exactly like Edward the blue engine

Very nice. How about doing the Peppercorn A1 and A2s next for the next sole slips?

Saw it on swanage

the T9 is Nicholous

Sole slip on the wainwright D class?

This is the blue engine #2 of the NWR, equivalent, by far,

gordon: the driver won’t choose you again he wants strong engines like us

Why do people get upset when people associate this with Thomas the tank engine? Honestly I highly doubt if I wasn’t introduced to that show I wouldn’t be still at age 35 looking at REAL steam trains to find out the histor.

Years built:1899-1901

Edward is back! Yay

Hello

I like her in pre grouping livery.

OH MY GOD IS THAT EDWARD BROTHER!?

What happened to the class 2p?

the reason why it could be famous is that it is a 4-4-0 and thanks to a certain E2 painted blue, the young enthusiast take for Edward, plus it could also be that long tender, who knows. But everyone is talking about Edward just because that they are both 4-4-0s, which is like saying that a K1 looks like a mini Henry

Nice One There Mate Can U Do A Video On The M7 Drummonds In The Next Few Episodes Thanks

Hi Edward.

1:48 real life counterpart of Edward the blue engine

the tender wheels. Very unconventional the way they aren't covered in any way, which makes them look kinda weird, but not terrible.

i thought 4-4-0 they never existed nowdays

How old is this locomotive?

That engine looks like edward

Too bad only 1 survives

Another thing I would like to know, even though in this video we see only one LSWR T9 steam locomotive completely restored and in operation. Can anyone tell me if there is a few more T9 steam locomotives completely restored and in operation, in some Railway Museum and a few British Heritage Railways in the UK ? I really want to know if there is a few more T9 steam locomotives out there in England, because I'm really hoping if it's not just one. I'm also hoping if one of the few remaining T9 steam locomotives, can be repainted blue and used as Edward the blue engine. So it could be able to join one of the Tank Engine replicas of Thomas, for a Day Out With Thomas event for the Railway Museum and British Heritage Railways in England. After all visiting a Day Out With Thomas event at a British Railway Museum, or a British Heritage Railway. Cannot be complete with just Thomas, the event also needs to include some of the other characters, like Edward, Gordon, Henry, James, Percy, Toby and even Duck, Donald and Douglas, Oliver and Emily. That has to be the idea for future Day Out With Thomas events throughout England and perhaps the entire UK. However they need to find remaining big and little steam locomotives, and turn them into these characters. To be specifically used for a British Day Out With Thomas event, and the steam locomotives need to look exactly like of what the characters are actually based on

Looks just like a k2 but different tender

Edward and the ducks 0:23
