How sad to scrap such beautiful machines, ;(

As a "yank" who loves trains a lot one thing I must that I envy about you lot is not just preserving steam trains but making new one. The 60163 Tornado in LNER livery is a good start not too mention a knock out gorgeous train. You rail fan in England make us rail fans in the US proud.......ok me at least. But point is you guys rule on preserving history and making it new again.

Im sorry for all the engines that are in barry's scrapjard.

I love these more scholarly / historical videos that you make, well done, sir. I'm a huge British Railways fan, and this sort of thing really helps broaden my perspective.

It's a shame that the e2 was scarped

Hi Sam I really enjoyed the video. I find it inspiring that there are so many new replica builds underway including two P2's Cheers Al.

Such a wonderful, exciting video. YES INDEED, all of these I remember well, especially the 2-6-4 fowler tanks that i travelled behind from Wishaw to Glasgow on many occasions. I was very fortunate, indeed, to have witnessed so many really good engines and trains. It STILL fascinates me. Well done SAM'S TRAINS.

Hi Sam, as always I am very impressed with your knowledge and the way you present it, well done...Simon

Lovely presented video Sam and a terrific idea to run engines lost to us before & during the great massacre!

I fell bad for some of the engines

Great idea for a video. And a fine collection of models. A very emotive subject! Really great to hear about the projects to creat modern working examples. Oscar

It’s nice knowing that some of these are being to be attempted to be rebuilt

Brilliant themed video here Sam.....really, really good. I enjoyed every moment of it & what a great choice of locos to feature too! Gonna try & catch-up on some of your vids that I've missed....mainly due to the problems with mum. All the best mate, me.

Some of the Locomotives on this list have examples in deplorable condition surviving though, I don't know if they're able to be salvaged though and I've heard they're common urban explorer destinations in the UK, either a railroad museum or scrapyard that went out of business. Thomas was a GWR locomotive rather than an LBSC one

‘The Queen’ is/was a static display in a shopping centre in Windsor, near the castle.

My favourite lost locomotives were the LBSC Marsh Atlantics. Great Video as usual :)

I remember as a kid we’d occasionally visit relatives in Barry and the steam loco’s awaiting scrapping always filled me with excitement seeing these fantastic machines all lined up. I’m so glad many of these locomotives avoided this fate 👍🏻

Like I always say, Sam, keep up the good work!

Fun fact: there is a P2 "prince of whales" being constructed

Man. You've come a long way. 😁

12:44 *no 3041 **_The Queen,_** originally named **_James Mason,_** was an example of this class allocated to Royal Train duties.* *Number 3046 **_Lord of the Isles_** has enjoyed a certain amount of celebrity, having been chosen as the prototype for a Tri-ang model locomotive. Since then the engine has also been modelled by Brio and Matchbox. In 2006, Hornby also produced a limited edition of the same model, this time bearing the name **_Lorna Doone._* Footnote : WikiPedia *"None of the original class survive, but a static replica of The Queen was commissioned by Tussauds for the Railways and Royalty exhibition at Windsor and Eton Central railway station. The replica loco was completed in December 1982 and displayed outside Steamtown in January 1983 (where it was constructed), before being transported by road to Windsor on 12 January 1983 and arriving on 14 January. The main frames, footplate, 'boiler', smokebox, cab and splashers were fabricated by Babcock's of Tipton. The tender was modified from an LBSCR C2x tender. Parts from a GWR tender, that came from the Dumbleton Hall Preservation Society, were used to provide the wheels for the front bogie and the real wheels. The top halves of the driving wheels do not exist, and were cast from 2 quarters, being bolted together to make a half, and the driving wheels also don't sit on the rail, so the loco could be wheeled into position on its front bogie and rear wheels. Some boiler fittings were obtained from the Great Western Society and sandblasted, and the dome and safety valve bonnet were made by Newcastle Metal Spinners. Tussaud's fitted smoke and steam generators, so steam was emitted from the cab, whistles, safety valves and smoke from the chimney. A sound unit was also fitted.* *The engine remains there, but the tender was scrapped to make more space for the shopping centre occupying that station building. The Bluebell Railway Atlantic Group purchased the axleboxes, springs and the complete wheel sets from the tender for use in their newbuild Atlantic project.*

Hi Sam, good video about the lost locos. it is a shame so many interesting steam locos as well as early diesels, electric and multiple units never been saved for preservation. did once visit Barry scrapyard with my dad and grandad when I was a small child in the mid-1970s while on holiday and still remember those locos in very bad condition. Thankfully they were saved and restored back to order. Thanks for sharing.

The 4p in my opinion is one of the best looking locomotives in Sam’s entire collection

Not only those engines were scrap, including some engines from the 19th Centrury were scrap like the engine that is Edward's basics; Furness Railway 4-4-0 K2, i hope hornby will make a new model of it. Incliding engines that sure will mind to make.

Four years old and still one of my favorites

The Fowler 2-6-4 tank was one of the few LMS engines that Stanier thought was satisfactory (along with the Crab, the Royal Scot and the Baby Scot or Patriot). You can draw a direct line of strong influence from this engine to Stanier's 2-6-4 tanks, to the Fairburn 2-6-4 tank and finally the BR standard 2-6-4 tank as well as the Northern Irish 2-6-0 and 2-6-4 tank (Jeeps) and finally the BR standard Class 4 4-6-0.

My favourite tank engine is the LBSC E2, I even have my own model so I'm glad it made it in there, and I would like to see more of her

*Great Layout, in the roof space by the look of it. Well Done*

I swear there's a running 3030 in the York museum

I'm wondering where's the E2 locomotive trust as Thomas is the most famous train in the world

Man some of these hurt to see disappear, especially the j50, I really like that one! Hurry up and get that replica done, ha. Good video again, great work :)

Fun fact the LMS Patriot class had the nickname "Baby Scot"

My favorite lbscr e2 class.😢

as far as Thomas goes he was actually originally based off the j50 but in the books he was based off a e2 with extended side tanks

The replica engin, the Queen, is still at Windsor and Eton station.

2:23 you said the 'T' word!

another great video and very interesting to hear about different classes of loco, nice to see the 3mt and its cool to know one is being built down the road, you can use the photos i sent you if you like

Out of all of the lost locomotives you've showed in that video. My all time favorite has to be the ol mighty strong 2-8-2 LNER P2 locomotive. It is ashamed that first they converted the P2 into a 4-6-2 locomotive and named the A2 class and having the class scrapped with none preserved. This would've been the UK's only 2-8-2 passenger locomotive to be on British Railways and the strongest too even though we got the 9F being strong with those 10 driving wheels. But thank christ they are making a new P2 locomotive running number 2007 which is Prince of Wales. I can't wait to see the brand new finished modern P2 locomotive and seeing it come back!

It’s good that the P2s won’t remain lost for long

Is it me or all these trains look so beautiful also great video

Nice video so you have the dapol western its really good

Do you think you will do a scrapyard scene on your layout? Though it will look sad it is a nice touch

south africans steam era ended in 1992 wich was the last day of steam for cape town and my profil pic the red one "red devil" was bulit in 1981 and was the last steam loco to be built in sa we had 122 year of steam

Very interesting! Just a bit of information for you Sam. The replica Patriot will be in un-rebuilt form with single chimney and straight boiler.

Love this one ❤

Very enjoyable Sam 😀

Interesting to learn a little about the lost locos.

I'm not sure if having the E2 pull two coaches was an intentional parallel to Thomas, but I like it. I can definitely see how you confused the LMS 2Ps with the SR L1s. I got them confused a lot as well, but now I can tell them apart. Now I need to work on finding the differences between the Southern L1s and the South Eastern & Chatham's D1s and E1s.

Great video and like the history of these loco's , so interesting . .......Peter.

I'm very sorry for the steam engines that were being scrapped

I like how they actually restored the p2

My favourite lost steam locomotive is LBSCR D1 Tank!

Thomas' original counterpart was the J50, but it was replaced by the E2 Tank engine chosen by the Reverend for his illustrator for a basis for Thomas.

Enjoyed the video. I think the single wheeler was or is at Winsor part of a Queen Victoria display

Enjoyable and informative video. Passed just like that. Great choice of locos. (Train excuses (3014 - The Queen) - late due to no tops on wheels. Great video. Alan.

Excellent video as always. My favorite engine on this list is the London Northeastern P2 mikado. Another thing that might be of interest is that the Reverend Wilbert Awdry had intended for Thomas to be a J70 instead of an E2.

As saddening as it is to see locomotive graveyards, at least we still have books, film and models to carry on their legacies, to appreciate and remember them by. The original giants may not run anymore, but at least we can replicate what they did before their demise❤ The Class E2 is a prime example. Such cute tank engines. Never quite understood why they scrapped them, they seemed perfectly viable after their redesign

I've been a fan of your channel since this video came out and i went through three accounts and when i got my new accounts i always subscribed on my new account

WOW!!! Sam amazing video and what great inspiration for it. it is quite sad that we can not see these locos anymore in standard gauge. im going to do my first video tonight so could i please have some tips, oh and how do you edit videos. cheers mate, Lewis

The Patriot class were known as Baby Scots having the same chassy as the Scot with the boiler designed to improve the LNWR Claughtons. Stanier took the Baby Scot and put his new tapered boiler on. Unfortunately, the original boiler inspired by the GW low superheat and the draughting meant that the new locomotive, the Jubilee, was initially inferior to the Baby Scot and required a lot of work to make it a successful locomotive (not seriously improved till they increased superheating to the LMS levels not the GW).

That Rebuilt Patriot is in British Railways Experimental Apple Green, caused quite the stir among LMS fans seeing such a locomotive being painted up in Eastern colors back in the day. I have the same model and absolutely adore it ^^

nice selection some notable omissions:- ex LNER D16,B17,01,02, W1 (I know you have these locos!)also standard Clan

A loco heavily based on the fowler 2-6-4t (wt class) were used in Ireland, one still exists today

One of them is Arthur from thomas well the brown LMS one

The only time I smile with genuine happiness is when I'm around looking at or thinking about trains I'm only 14 and I already have enough knowledge to drive my own train so all you need to do is put me in a train cab and I'd be able to drive it provided it has enough coal water and or steam (if it's a diesel engine that's a deal breaker)

Good one again Sam. Not silly at all mistaking L1 with 2P they are very similar. In fact Hornby converted the tooling of their Triang Hornby L1 available in SR green in 1972 to make it a 2P the LMS version you are showing , which came out in 1973 . The L1 apparently was not a big seller and the feeling was the 2P would be better . Not sure if it's was. I bought one about 20 years ago second hand and it's a nice runner. I think the main difference in moulding is the cab. The 2P has a cut out cab while the L1 had windows

great idea love it the e2 are lovely very nice vid ade

Great video idea Sam! Shame we can't see any of these locos in real life any more though :(

In my closest city The company who runs the railway Are still using steam Not just for shows They pull freight And passengers

RIP E2 Tank Engine

Samstrains, i would think so to

Sad fact : Those were some of my favorite engines

How sad. RIP to all the trains that got scrapped.

The gwr 3031 class is in a shopping centre in Winsor near the station

Great video! The locos were really nice. If only BR thought so as well. :)

We are getting two new p2’s built in the next few years, one like that and one in the streamlined form

there is a e2 being built, and there was a e2 at barry, one of the first they scrapped

I still would like one day they could make a brand new design for stream engines.

This model of the 2P is a sort of amalgam of the L1 and 2P which were not dis-similar externally. The cab is incorrect for a 2P as are the chimney and dome. The L1 was probably the better engine in that its valves were better than the 2P. Although the 2P wasn't a brilliant engine, it was useful and was quite strong pulling on hills. When used as a pilot engine, the 2P was able to pull the heavy train and train engine which was slipping and accelerate it while going up a bank. It was liked in Scotland and on the Somerset & Dorset.

Before I forget, the smell which you can detect from old Triang and Triang-Hornby engines is ozone. It is the increased oxidation state from oxygen from O2 to O3, and can damage your lungs if breathed in excess!

I think the loco introduced at four mins and three seconds looks a bit like Arthur from Thomas and his Friends but brilliant video sam

Nice to see the E2 today, it seems to have it's own fan club, possibly because of the "Thomas" connection. I filmed mine many moons ago, and I seem to remember it drew a few comments. I wouldn't have thought dark brown would suit a steam loco, but this one "pulls it off" nicely. : ) Regards, Cliff.

Arthur's base engine was scraped? I'm glad Thomas and Friends brought it back into the picture.

Well Sam, they certainly not lost! they will forever be in the Hearts and Minds of Engine men and Rail fans alike! your mate! - Sam! (P.S this is my Gaming alt!)

there are still 2 2-6-4 steam tank locomotives preserved that are running on the haverthwaite and lakeside railway.

I was so sad that the johnson 2f/3f class is all gone...

Great vid

I lived near Birkenhead, so the 2-6-2 was the most common

The E2 tank engines where actually Technically prototypes because they were only examples they weren’t actually full-fledged locomotives yet the 10 that were built were only examples of what they would look like if production was to start on their class I believe and Thomas is actually the only one of his class to have extended side tanks because the E2 class weren’t meant for long trip Journey’s they were meant for short distance freight trains and shunting.

Number 1014 is a county class and she is being built as we speak

There will be a Bachman LBSCR Green Thomas & Busy as a Bee James.

3:15 is the original Thomas before he became the E2 in the books

nice video I enjoyed btw im the 700th like

I saw a video about Barry the Rescue Engine, who was saved from scrap at Barry's Scrapyard, by James the Red Engine.

I love the 4p

If they have the same name and number as one of the orginals locos they are a replica, but if it is like tornado where non of the other members of the class had it its name or number it is a genuine member of the class

i love the j50 thomas also based on this engine

Sam at 17.13 you can see a Blue flash from inside locos Cab as it goes past the Station. Not sure if its from the station

The e2 with extended boiler is my favourite steam locomotive

Nice one mate
