Stephenson's Rocket (Replica) and Black 5 Steam Locomotive (No. 5000). I had the pleasure of meeting two gentlemen that discussed the workings and specifications of the two locomotives. The first video discusses Stephenson's Rocket (Replica) and the second discusses Black Five (No. 5000) steam locomotive

I sold all my railway bits and pices, regretfully, but after 68 years and many house moves, my Black five chimney is still in my garden. I saw them everywhere, but as he says, especially in the north west in the late 1960s.

What other bits and pieces did you own, or is it a very long list of items? I have seen Black Five and others on my travels, and they look stunning and stand out, compared to modern trains. Thanks for your comment.

Is this the replica that was built at Bowes railway museum?

@@TheWacoKid1963 I think he said it was built at Rainhill in 1979.

@@smogontheline I've watch that part again, he doesn't mention were it was built, just the year it was built, I know one of the many replicas were built in the old Springwell colliery workshops around that time, I saw photos of the build when I was a volunteer there in the mid 1990s, I think it was built by engineering students

@TheWacoKid1963 I was speaking with him before I started recording, and he was discussing dates and places. I know he mentioned a few places, but I can't fully remember regarding that replica. If I go up to Locomotion again, I can certainly ask.

Very nice indeed. But what is the wheel arrangement on #5000?

@smogontheline 2 ай бұрын

It's a 4-6-0 (10 wheeler configuration).

@@DavidScholz-bu1ix Not really, no. The 4-6-0 configuration never had a memorable name in British usage. The GWR liked the 4-6-0 arrangement and made many classes including the Granges, but also the Stars, Castles and Kings, the Saints, Halls, Granges, Manors and Counties. The GWR only made one example of the Pacific wheel arrangement, Churchward's The Great Bear, and it was disappointing in performance as well as being very heavy, which restricted its route availability.
