Just subbed, awsome isnt a word I use very often, but it certainly describes the footage of the B1 running parallel to the motorway.Hugely watchable, well done.

Fantastic video! I wasn't sure if there was a good pacing video of her out there, but this is exactly what I was looking for! You filmed her in gorgeous countryside as well

Amazing video. Thank you. That's the 1st time I've seen Mayflower since it was in LNER Green, as a Static Exhibit, at Steamtown, Carnforth, back in the 1970's. Nice :)

I know many people HATE Thompson but regardless the B1 was a great success and maybe the black 5 of the Eastern Region. I also like the L1 tanks, they were very good looking locos even though they weren't considered as successful as the B1s

There's a video of a Castle charging down the exact same stretch as this. Steamers at full throttle doing what they do best is just a sight to behold. How on Earth the valve gear doesn't just implode at these speeds is beyond me. I couldn't even begin to imagine what amount of force is put upon it.

No I’m sure it was only 70mph, otherwise the film car might have been speeding......;-)

Mayflower was always 61379, never understood why 61306 found it neccasary to kidnap the name!

Wait is Mayflower a 3 cylinder engine?

@Steelshadow104 7 жыл бұрын

no those were the B17s that Gresley designed, but they do look quit similar

@AlexKravchenko-uo3ds 6 жыл бұрын

I doubt it, as Edward Thompson was against the idea of a 3 cylinder conjugated design, as it performed poorly during the Second World War due to low level maintenance costs, and was something he and Nigel Gresley would've hotly argued over, I can tell you.

@martinchamberlain542 3 жыл бұрын

The Bi was a two cylinder design. This is a wonderful film.thankyou! In their day the B1 had a reputation for rough riding at speed, but the footplate looks pretty steady here. We’ll overlook the fact that the car driver was slightly speeding!

A non named engine in service. 'Mayflower' was the name of another B1 61379
