So you finally did my recommendation for shed 47 I think 2 years ago

Great video Lawrie! It turned out really well, thanks for featuring us and you're always welcome back! Cheers, the Shed47 Team.

Love these videos. And, yes, some days ago my wife saw me watching a grown man giggle like mad while driving aTINY locomotive on a TINY track. After almost 30 years she knows I’m kind of weird ...so keep up the good work!

1941........Grand Fleet......HMS Hood......wait a moment.... *B I S M A R C K I N M O T I O N*

Great video

as soon as Lawrie said "Shed 47" my mind went immediately to "Shed 17"

Effortlessly fluent, world-class presentation

What a nicely proportioned loco, so pleased it was not cut up, got a long life left in her....

"Never done a hard days work in it's life"..... So the loco is similar to a career politician / sociologist / etc.

Hey Lawrie i have a livery idea for this loco: green but with black stripes like it's sibling engine

Engine looks and sounds like a Cummins NT855 and the power seems correct for that too, quite a lot of shutters from this era have NT855’s however other mainline units also use them (class 150/153/155/156/158/159, however theirs is a slightly different variant, the R1/R5 which is tilted on a 30 degree angle) but still, very nice engines which give out that classic Cummins grunt!

Great loco,from Hunslet of Leeds. The Middleton Railway in Leeds has a large fleet of Hunslet built locos,both steam and diesel.Go wet your whistle!!

Not often you have a loco go into preservation that only needs a minimum of work. I'm guessing they spent more time on the cosmetics than the mechanicals which would be a nice change. That said the BR green looks really. And whilst we didn't see any buses did manage a brief glimpse of a red MR2. Well done guys on another good video.

I remember these in the Dockyard. They sat on the rails just across from the syncrolift shed. I remember them getting all painted up yellow about a year before they left to go up to Lathalmond. I think they were still part of the PED (which I think stood for Port Estate Department) routine maintenance schedule until that point too so they were probably greased to within an inch of their lives.

That train looks lovely!

Hi from Green Bay Wisconsin USA!! Go Packers Go!! Your narration is like mine, when I was the chieftainship tour guide here at the National Railroad Museum from 1984 to 1989. The tour included the BR no.60008 named "Dwight D. Eisenhower" for the world famous U.S.Army General of WW2, later President of the USA. Number 60008 started as LNER no. 4496, named "Golden Shuttle" in honor of the woolen textile mills, built in Doncaster near York, in September 1937, builders number 1861. The main driver are 80" inches in diameter and could run over 100 MPH!! Class A4 loco were among many designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and his team. Locos ranged in size and power from high speed passenger express locos, to fast ones for commuters to London, with freight engines both for the main and branches, plus small switchers, called shunters for factories and yards. Class A4 locos have 3 cylinders for extra power at high speed with the interior valves connected to the outer 2 with Gresley's patented Conjugated valve gear. The fastest recorded speed of an A4 was the Mallard no. 4468 that ran downhill called Stoke Bank with 6 carriages, plus a Dynamometer car, at 126 & 1/2 MPH on Sunday, July 3, 1938, a short while after 5:00 p.m British GMT. Driver Duddington, and stoker Bray, are to be highly praised for this amazing feat!! Now imagine the change when I had to describe the Union Pacific Big Boy no. 4017 articulated Mallet 4-8-8-4, with the differences between the American knuckle coupler and cowcatcher, and the British hook and links with buffers on the corners.

I worked in Rosyth with the MOD when the original Planet shunters were replaced with these locos. Soon after they arrived, the MOD stores were closed and moved to Faslane. These trains were then used to pull MK3 coaches and London Underground trains through the yard when they were being refurbished for GNER and TFL, as well as class 159 turbo sprinters for Network Southeast. They were then, like the rest of the railway system in Rosyth, abandoned until they were moved to Lathalmond. The access track to the yard is still in place and can be seen at the south side of Inverkeithing station.

Great looking little engine. The horn reminds me of what some of the barge pusher tugs here in Hampton Roads have on them. It gives the impression that a much bigger beast is heading towards you.

Love these videos, so uplifting, I agree, lovely machine!!

Lawrie I had 0 interest in trains untill i started watching your channel (for Car dumper and other random vehicles) now I can't wait for locomotive content your slowly converting me also blue overalls are the business very smart looking

these are very fun to watch!

As an hunslet lad, it's great to see so many of hunslet built trains still in working order

Thanks I really enjoyed the video. You are a lucky man. James from Texas

Another great video! Love seeing old military locomotives!

Is it me or is there a wired Michal Jackson laugh at 11:00

Love your new intro titles, and another great production from Lawrie and the team. I've found the Shed47 page on FB and they are doing great work. Another video that makes me thankful to be a member of the LMM channel. :)

great video!

KZfaq recommendations are on point at the moment, this channel is absolutely awesome.

Great to see you back on a loco Lawrie! Definitely my favourite series on the channel 😝

Looks like you had a wonderful day, thanks for sharing!! Cheers

Your Hunslet 9045 class, reminds me of the american Plymouth 20 ton industrial switchers for light duty. The NRRM here used to have 2 from the local power plant. Gasoline powered no. 702 was used to pull the 1956 G.M. Aerotrain 2 coaches around the circular track. Or sometimes the 1890 wooden coach from Marquette Michigan north by Lake Superior. But #702 broke down in 1987. Then sat until the 1990's when another different manager decided to have it scrapped. How irresponsible! Yet still back to your Hunslet, plus the brake van reminds me of the American Caboose with just 4 wheels nicknamed a bobber, like a fishing float. Plus with the long platforms at the ends, it is like the Green Bay and Western "transfer" caboose, made from the old frames of tenders. Like many other railroads that tried to reuse older equipment.

Thanks for the camerawork showing clearly the operation of the controls!

Thanks for another great video Lawrie. Appreciate you doing these loco videos, especially the industrial diesel ones, they fascinate me. 👍

Great video Lawrie. Been waiting for this one, my brother is a volunteer at Shed47. I used to see these locos quite often too as my dad worked in the dockyard.

A justifiably enthusiastic presentation!

Mr. Lawrie, Green Bay again on Sunday morning. Packers play in Sunny Miami today. But here way up north there is rain cold and snow flurries further north. Sorry for really bad Auto-Correct, but how did if come up with "...chieftainship???". Happy to hear that you saw no.8 at NRM at York. But I saw it on KZfaq, plus in magazine " Railway". Thank you and GOD Bless all of you there who gave no.8 a 100-0/0 accurate restoration. Because back in 1985 the 8 was very dusty and weather beaten. But the NRRM was being controlled by an outside management firm, but Zero railroad experience, nor museums. So they hired a local house painting company. But the outside manager admitted to being color blind, and when the new paint was sprayed on, it came out as a combination of muddy brown and swamp green. They had planned a large dedication ceremony. There was no time left to fix it. The ceremony was covered in the newspaper and on TV. Plus I got my photos and prints. Plus the audio cassette tape of the speeches by local dignitaries. Then 2 years later the outside firm was fired, and a new manager from a Chicago museum arrived, with a much better disposition who appreciated volunteers and their efforts. In 1990 the 60008 was repainted green. But still the wrong hue, with plain yellow letters. Then it was shipped off for a trip West to Abilene, Kansas, for the 100th memorial birthday of Gen. Eisrnhower, who wrote in his autobiography, that as a young boy, he often dreamed of being an engineer on a high speed crack limited luxury Pullman Express speeding through the western prairies to some legendary city. Unfortunately, our manager from Chicago, was replaced by another fool who fired the workers, and openly insulted volunteers. He lasted only a few years. Later in 2012 was opportunity to return York for Grand Gathering 75th Anv. So 60008 was pulled out of storage shed, loaded on 2 flatcars, and shipped across Atlantic Ocn. Like giant Fed-Ex package. Properly restored at York-N.Ry.M. Exhibited 2 years, attracting tens of thousands fans. Shipped back to GB/NRRM, new green jewel like Emerald. With new display area painted like British station platform. Plus we need red British telephone booth,/ Box, with tape recording of Kings' Cross station schedules of arrivals and departures. But surrounded by rusty American trains. More to come later. Bye.

Great stuff as ever. I am enjoying what i guess is drone footage at somepoints

We have a very similar hunslet on the Dean Forest Railway, painted red with wasp stripes, called 'Salty'

That windscreen wiper switch looks exactly the same as those used in Leyland National 1 buses, which also had air-operated wipers... The Cummins engine in that one is probably very similar to those used in the trucks that replaced it after the defence cutbacks drove the military rail system into retirement... I love the chrome or polished stainless steel trims around the lights and the little mesh stone guards, just like were used on 1960s Mini Cooper rally cars. The MoD did like a few little extras on their equipment...

Me and my Dad went to that railway a while back, and I got a chance to ride in 9045's cab. I even got to blow the horn!

Eyyy, congrats on 30k

Great video liked 🚄👍

You are in your element with a very fine piece of locomotive equipment; love the Cummins diesel power. I have driven and maintained a lot of trucks with Cummins engines. They are hard to beat. You have a great job there , enjoy !

A beautiful little loco.

Hey love your vids, as an american I've always had a fascination for british rail and to find an abundance of videos that go into great detail on different kinds of locomotives is honestly a gold mine to me. Do you know what steam engine you'll feature next on your channel? I can see you doing a Jinty next lol

Brilliant vid, the pinical of loco building in Leeds.

This is a seriously cute little engine. Looks like it has come straight out of a giant red and yellow cardboard box marked "Triang Railways" 😍

Great video as always! I was interested to see their use of light signals which got me thinking, could you do a video on the signalling/ops side of one of the many railways? It's always interesting to see behind the scenes!

That really is a lovely little engine.

Brilliant! I would love to see one of these in O or 00 gauge.

Excellent video....just stumbled across the channel, liked and subscribed, obviously! 😉 Greetings from a Swede in Glasgow....🍻

Love the new intro

I remember seeing these shunters, near identical I would say for sale at Ramco. Probably 10 years ago. I remember the salesman at the time telling me a guy who hires them out purchased the . They also sold some narrow gauge Perkins engines locos that shifted munitions around of I remember.

Hi Lawrie, that's a superb loco, it would make a lovely model, I've a good mind to scratch-build a body for a Hornby 0.4.0 chassis, anyway, stay safe, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.

Back in traction, I see. That’s a good sign.

I rode in the engine with my dad when I was young..we rode into Chicago

Looks like a Cummins NT855.

They're so cute!

When’s the next steam review coming? Keep up the vid :)

The Wensleydale railway have a small collection of purple MOD class 01/5 diesels. Which are belt driven I think.

Excellent video Lawrie,a super little loco. With what i could see in the backround will you be making some more visits to Shed47?

Would love to see more steam locos if you ever get the chance!

Comparing this to HE 6981 in my mind and its interesting to see the differences in the 15 years or so between them.

Cummins makes great engines! All the dodge guys love them in the trucks. They sound like angry rachets.

Very cool Lawrie great vid, which “newest locomotive” number is this? 😂

Impressive diesel shunter. I wonder if that Cummings engine was fitted into some large Massey Ferguson tractors of the era as it does sound like the diesel engine note they have. I'm waiting for the loco review of the slightly wierd narrow gauge diesel you tested at the Apedale Railway.

20:37 you can see the 106 and the MR2 to the left.

the cummins is i believe a 5.9 either 12v or 24v there quite popular here in the states due to them mostly being used in the dodge ram pickups

Wahay gosport lol 😁😁😁😁 where I spent my first 9 years of life, There was an mod site just outside gosport that had a railway running to it, dont know if it's still there or not as being an east midlander now I dont visit gosport as much as I'd like. Nice little loco though and so nice that it's still being used on an ex MOD site

MOD 650 kind of looks like either a BR Class 07 with a shorter front or a ŽS series 621 (especially with its sister painted Yellow, whereas all video/screenshots I've seen of the 621 show it in a Yellow-Orange color). The MOD Hunslet is a cute locomotive and I love it!

I got one of those hunslet badges the red one it’s well heavy pulled it of a loco I took to a scrapyard

Its just like the de2 shunter from Derail Valley, but with hopefully less explosions and crashes than in that particular game

the engine looks like a Cummins NHC 250 (or NTC with turbo ) shifted loads of them that were used on emergency fire pumps

If I herd you correctly and you said that went to gosport then the loco would off Been local to me nice vid btw

Also id like to add the horn on that loco has the same horn as the freightliner cascadia

Did you get any chance to look round any of the Bus Museum as well? By the way, it might be the newest standard gauge loco, but didn't you drive a brand new loco the other week on that new garden miniature railway?

Indentical at number of fab. 1163 and 1164, in Minas de Riotinto, South of Spain. They are in service, in a touristic train.

2 of those engine in sri lanka railway department still shunting

That engine is a Cummins 855, that air compressor looks to be the same as used on American trucks of that era.

Someday you should see about finagling a trip to the States and see if you can get on the Big Boy! There’s also a you-can-drive museum in Eli Nevada, USA. The Nevada Northern Railway.

Wow, I'm early

I used ot see these engines being built on Jack Lane,, Hunslet when the area was heavy engineering.

I noticed a barclay shunter in the background,will you ever have a look at that

Looks like an 855 Cummins

Any chance of a review of the Deltic? or a class 55 Diesel Loco? :)

How come to clutch is engaged before the gears? On a car this would stall it. How does this sort of gearbox work?

Ahh yes trains

Needs bifold hood doors, like on an EMD. Otherwise, what a dandy looking engine.

I know that adding stripes to a car will make it go faster. Has any such study been done on locomotives?

You should try get yourself up to the nymr, although I figure it would be rather difficult at current. A look around the MPD would make for some decent content... least I think so 😅😂

Good vid. Is it true Boness and kineel are trying to sell a Hunslet or scrap it?

hey lawie, i know your not as intrested in miniature railways but I would really recommend having a look at the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway its really cool

Ah yes

yoooooo I live near here

Hi Laurie . What engine size is in that thing ? regards Don

Honestly at 15:30 I thought you were going to say you were going to give it a DougScore™.

First, an apology for Big mistake from last Sunday. I can't blame Auto spell. The Green Bay Packers were not playing against Miami Dolphins. Instead it was Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay beat the Packers baddly at 38 to 10. Should have checked the schedule. Yet still, on the NBC TV network they had European football, (but here they say "soccer"), with Manchester but I did not see the other team. Manchester is truly connected with Liverpool because of the 1829 Rocket 0-2-2 built by George and Robert Stephenson. I want to build a brand new replica of Rocket, then tour around the U.S. Railroad museums, in time for the upcoming 200th Anniversary of the Rainhill Trials in 2029. I hope you can drive the replicas of Rocket, Trevithick, Brunnel wide guage, plus many others.

Are they going to extend that line at any point?

What's that matt you say lawrie's a Dipstick I think he is too 😂

Aloha
