In today's video I briefly discuss the history of the Great Western Railway 4400 class, and it mostly features footage from Train Simulator.
Filmed on the following TS routes (all available on Steam):
Malmesbury Branch
Riviera Line in the Fifties
Western Lines of Scotland

There's a nice sound enhancement pack from Steam Sounds Supreme, for both the small and large Prairie packs

the GWR 44xx looks like it was made to run, because in the clips of it in the train simulator it shows it passing very fast

A couple of minor (But forgivable) points Tondu is pronounced "Ton-dee" The 45xx and 4575 were similar but also had higher pressure boliers, at 200 pounds rather than the 180 pounds of the 44xxs. The locos were actually too big for Wolverhampton (Stafford road ) works, and so were assembled as 0-6-0s then moved outside to the running shed to have their trucks put on

Hello from Tondu. It's pronounced more like Dundee btw. I used to clean 800s at Swansea so was surprised to see t8 (internally called - The Gay Train) in the vid as well.
