I always loved the T9's and can just about remember them steaming by my school in Ashford Middlesex during 1959-61 not long before they were all withdrawn. More of these super locomotives should have been saved. But unfortunately like so many other classes they were scrapped during the 1950/60's.

Good to see the old T9 battling the not terribly conducive elements.

Better enjoy the sights while the Greyhound can still stretch her legs.

*Brilliant shots of a over 110 Year Old locomotive, in appallingling weather conditions. Could your Granny manage 4 coaches, I doubt it and you would need to shout "Go Granny Go" into her Trumpet.*

Very nice. Did you see the progress they have done with the carriage sidings at Herston ?

@lauriefielder8762 4 жыл бұрын

A favourite loco of mine. Would love to see her in Maunsell green with sunshine lettering. Any chance when it is next repainted ?

He who pays the money, makes the choice. Though that would be very much welcome.

are there any plans to get 120 mainline certified once it's overhauled, do you know? always thought it would look very nice running in the wild, at it's intended speeds

@TheSouthernerYTChannel 4 жыл бұрын

As nice as mainline running would be with 120, merely raising the funds for its overhaul in the first place takes precedence. There's also the matter that it's not Swanage's engine. In the end, the decision falls on the NRM if 1) they'll let it go mainline or 2) they'd allow it to be overhauled at all.

@@TheSouthernerYTChannel oh i forgot it's NRM's machine, doesn't bode well considering their track record of refusing overhauls.

What about the Flying Scotsman at the Watercress Line?

@TheSouthernerYTChannel 4 жыл бұрын

With the amount of trouble the loco causes through the over-hyped media attention it gets, I really couldn't be fussed about it for the first running days - a lot more hassle, time and money than it would be worth for the final video to be produced. Would much rather go to the Watercress Line for 506 or Cheltenham.

Why did it look like the T9 was wobbling in some scenes

@984francis 4 жыл бұрын

A small stretch of bumpy track.

@TheSouthernerYTChannel 4 жыл бұрын

A 2-cyl 4-4-0 will always appear to be somewhat of a 'wobbly' engine when compared to 4-6-2's or BR Standard Tanks. It's also being restricted to a significantly lower speed than it was designed for. And, as said, bumpy track can exaggerate the motion.
