I love that shade of blue

Personally, I LIKE pre-grouping paint schemes

Bright colors for liveries will always be a favorite of mine, and I like seeing engines with pre-grouping liveries, mainly because it brings back a time that feels forgotten. This engine is a rare and wonderful gem, I thank the kind farmer who saved her. Great video as always Chris, you never disappoint.

The shade of blue makes the tank butiful, even more so in an evening background!

That is why I love steam engines of this age. They combine power and real cool design and colour.

A gorgeous engine on a gorgeous railway!

Damn right she’s a showstopper

I like this locomotive by not only of it design, but the beautiful blue livery.

That's awsome this Tank Engine

The Pre-Grouping Lines, are Jolly Good Lines. This little tank, as a "Show Stealing" star, is fun to fathom!

Well done Chris! I really like this engine. Especially because it's blue.

I had a feeling this one would be coming up. Another brilliant Sole Slip of another beautiful engine

Knew this was coming soon, being as I did meet Chris at the winter gala, (yes if you read this chris I'm George from thr Gala) I do agree that this tank will be one of the most popular steam locos, for me it comes in the top 5!

Imagine seeing no. 812, no. 419 and the single all steaming in one place. Another great video Chris

I saw this in person, it was visiting at the churnet valley railway (where it is seen here) for there winter gala, very pretty and powerful locomotive, but sadly broke down twice 🙁

I really wish more Caledonian locomotives where preserved... I am hoping somebody will rebuild a 956 class... they where my favorite

The CR has engines that shine out their darker green and black BR preserved engines

It's a pity we don't have more pre-1923 liveries. They were eye candy.

And now we’ve lost the beautiful livery. Hopefully it’ll get repainted blue again in the near future.

I caught a glimpse of this engine's wheels in the shed today when I was on a DMU train at the Battlefield Line I take it 419 was visiting the line

WHOOHOO! when Bepis on gmod said it was out, I went straight to my phone.

@1:16 @1:26 Beautiful Engine! I’ve always liked the Westinghouse air brake pumps that sound off when an engine is at a standstill. Sounds like it’s catching its breath. @0:01

Finally, a upload!! This is perfection!

I like the blue

Caledonian Blue is definitely my favorite livery

My great grandparents worked on one of at Glasgow

Once again, your work is of excellent standard Chris! Very nicely covered video of a beautiful locomotive! I really do love this class and the Livery is also great (not because of Thomas 😂). Keep it up!

Beautiful engine! I especially love the paint job!

Having seen 419 a lot at Bo'ness as a kid, she has a rather soft spot in my heart personally. My favourite locomotive of all. Again, great video :)

What’s wrong with the colour? It looks very nice and beautiful with that light blue colour scheme!

It's a wonderful engine, I will say. That engine should visit Wales.

Neat I got to ride on a train with this locomotive while on tour in Scotland. But I never got the back story on it. Thank you.

Yay! A new video

I love the C&R livery

Beautiful 💙💙💙💙😍🚂👍👋

One things for sure: as she demonstrated today on the East Lancs, she's a sparky little lass! Still picking the ashes out of my hair now! XD

Exactly Chris this engine could visit other heritage lines when she does visit ones down here I'll be there

Its style makes it look like you should see Sir Topham Hatt walking around in the background as it was filmed.

Not to start a war, but what's wrong about the colour choice?

Caledonian railway 🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚋🚋🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 439 🚂🏗🏗🏗🏗🏗🛤🏗🛤🏗🛤🏗🛤🏗🛤🏗🛤🏗🏗

It's GOURGOUS even more in white

Have you considered patron

interesting on a personal level for me as some of my ancestors worked at St Rollox during the time of manufacture. Huge employer the, sadly no more.

CR blue👌

The scottish locomotives are most My favorites

mmmm the chonky lad

I love this engine, but my only gripe with it is a cosmetic one. The cab not being flush with the side tanks just annoys me something fierce 😅

Three preserved Caledonian engines? Does the Andrew Barclay at the Caledonian Railway in Brechin not count? I'm not too clued up on the subject of preservation.

Beautiful, but no film of her at Bo'ness??

Regarding the class' duties, weren't they used as bankers over Beattock? Now that would make for a great railtour!

Pre-grouping Loco are great.

Years built:1895-1925

Mac in tosh, as in the way you pronounce the Macintosh coat… The problem with the engine having air operated brakes on the loco is, it’s a single pipe air brake system where, if the driver is not careful and makes too many applications will, have no means to stop the loco (apart from the hand brake) having used up all the air in the reserve… if vacuum is lost the brakes come on: the reverse for single pipe air 😱 It also makes it a little tricky on wet rails to not have the engine slide as if it were on ice… not good if your heading towards the coaches you’re about ‘couple’ up too… so care is needed on applying the air brake and for the driver to think ahead as he/she wants to stop… just a wee touch too much air and you lock the wheels up… eek. Been there… The colour, yes I wasn’t much of a fan of it as I was very much used to the darker blue she wore in preservation but I’ve gotten used to it now. It’s the blue of the St Andrews flag.

Can u please come to Ireland again?

She’s coming to Swanage soon 😁

How fast can they go?

BTW there's actually 6 Caledonian Locomotive in in presivation

Do they wear kilts still in Scotland?

Thomas????

Don't want tp start a firestorm but... what is the deal with the different shades of Caledonia Blue?

I don't mind the blue.

There's not much 0-4-4 Tanks preserved in Britain. There's this, the Adams O2, the Drummond M7s, the Wainwright H and the Metropolitan E.

Were these the precursors to the M7 class?

what’s the livery called

I prefer the 828 shade but a great loco

I mean... Aren't most Big Four colours a shade of green anyway? Whatever the shade of blue, this engine would be an elegant machine anyway.

I swear I thought that the 419 number plate said ROBLOX and not Rollox

as someone related to a fair few McIntoshs, I have never heard it pronounced "Mc-Inn-Tosh"

Kinda looks like a LSWR M7

I'm not annoyed because it resembles a certain other blue engine, I'm annoyed because it should be black, or at the very least the official dark blue. It turns out the men at St. Rollox figured out (the geniuses) dark blue + white = light blue.

Do sole slip: NSB kong Haakon type 21c 377

was that a USA dock tank in the background at 0:11

Oh fuck, not Ryan Hagen.

It certainly stole the show yesterday at the East Lancashire Railway.

*haha like Caledonian Railway coaches*

What are your thoughts on the LNER L1 Tanks Also: www.kapwing.com/videos/5c832a65d5c6200014cd5bf7

Jeez the wheels are taller than my mother

That looks like Thomas the tank engine

It's all good until a random kid calls it Thomas

Thomas

FIRST TO SAY FIRST

Forget the blue does the engine still not look familiar to anyone
