An engine who shows the beauty of Caledonian Blue.

not to mention that 828 is the real life Basis for the Scottish Twin engines in the railway series

“His not wee bad sort of engine” and that from the Caledonian twins is high praise indeed.

The Caledonian and North British railway may only have 3 engines each but at least they're diverse between them (a tank engine, goods engine and express engine). Looking forward to seeing more engines from Scotland in the future, even if aside from 828 and 419 the others aren't in steam (looks at 123 longingly)

The real pity is that none of McIntosh's 4-4-0's were saved by the LMS,unlike the Highland's,designed by Drummond! They had a grace,and speed to boot,and the colors were and are gorgeous! Thank you! 😇

One of the prettiest locomotives! Thanks for looking at her!

Donald and Douglas the Scottish Twin Engines.

Ah yes, twin Realtalk: They're beautiful engines and I'm glad we have at least one survivor still around

A sturdy, handsome, six-coupled engine. Can't go wrong, can you?

Another beautiful video, and on my birthday no less! Thank you very much for the surprise birthday present on one of my favorite Scottish locos. One quick note that I'm surprised you didn't mention was how in 1899 St Rollox Works and CME Sir John McIntosh struck a deal with the SNCB, the Belgian State Railways, to license the 812/652 Class for construction on the Continent, resulting in the lightly modified Type 30/32, later Type 44/41, of which 2 examples survive. I also have to comment on your heartfelt but amusing attempt to blend your normal thick Geordie accent with a bit of a Scottish brogue. Well done, sir.

That's me in the Blue jumper at 0:48 to 0:51 with the Canon camera doing a quick double take thanks for making this Anthony it's really been informative about Caledonian Railway iconic 828. The video footage was filmed at the Spa Valley Railway is part of the Scottish Steam event with 419 also from originally the Caledonian Railway the first time that both these locomotives have run outside of Scotland together. Also noticed at 1:02 the station sign for Tunbridge Wells West is in blue not green as it should be. Changed for the event due to BR regions colours for example the Old LMS territory had a dark Midland red colour the Old Southern region had a dark green and BR Scotland's colour scheme was a light blue Just like at Tunbridge Wells West for the event it was an outstanding event for the Spa Valley Railway well done to everyone who was involved.

1:23 Had to do a genuine double take there, almost thought I was imagining that burr, cheeky :)

Love the Scottish t'wang you had for this video, excellent touch

Douglas and Donald

Could you do a video on the surviving Armstrong Whitworth LMS "Jackshaft" 0-6-0 diesel locomotives still serving on the Italian State Railways?? These were built in the late 1930's. The loco was also loosely modelled as the Triang Railways / Triang Hornby R.152 diesel shunter.

Finally! I've been looking for this channel for a while. I binged a lot of it like a year ago and just haven't been able to find it since, but at long last, I'm back! Just gonna sub this time so I don't lose it again

Another great video

Aye Donald, they say blue is a Caledonian colour.

My favorite engine how nice :]

Over 90 built sounds like a success. If passenger trains used Westinghouse air brakes, why didn't everybody use them?

A pretty beast for sure but being a sad human I find the utilitarian form ofban Andrew Barclay or Grant Ritchie saddle tank to be something much more pleasing to the eye. Those manufacturers have some interesting and winding histories

I remember the tragic cutting up of the last of the Belgian Caleys. I also remember an episode of Dr. Finlay's Casebook where a station was renamed Tannochbrae and a BR Caley 0-6-0 being repainted, married to the preserved Caledonian coaches. I'm afraid it would take my far too long to read thro' all my bound 'Railway Worlds' to find the article about the episode!

809 of these locos were build for the Belgian state railways.

Donald and Douglas

Great video and a great locomotive liked the Scottish accent as well.

fun fact this engine is base of the sottish twins donald and douglas from thomas and friends

It's a shame more Caledonians weren't saved. Their liveries would look spectacular on the main line.

The 652 class was not identical. The cab cutaway eas more rounded, as the Dunalasyair 3's

Who else wishes there were two left

She has a pretty long wheelbase for an 0-6-0.

Donnie and dougie's sister

At about 0:51 is she in Royal Tunbridge Wells SVR terminus?

You forgot to mention that Clyde used to be a class 37 diesel before Theo and Otto turned him into the Caledonian 0-6-0 he appears as now. Lol

Its donald and douglas (sorry i have to doit)
