Well said

Transformed the world, the original internet.

I personally do wanna completely obviously agree! Also, apparently for another fact is basically that the famous locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley in Doncaster in the year of exactly 1923 known as the Flying Scotsman happens to be the only sole-surviving brother of Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive!

It's no secret that the famous locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley known as the Flying Scotsman is basically the only sole-surviving brother of Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive as revealed in the Railway Series book titled Enterprising Engines written by the famous Rev W Awdry himself!

​@@davidscholz3041I personally just suddenly realized that the safety valves of the famously well-known sole-serving Doncaster built in the year of precisely 1923 respectfully L N E R class A3 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself known as the Flying Scotsman certainly happens to basically no shockingly surprisingly mean that they're capable of relieving the pressure in the boiler by venting steam out via safety valves! Well, unlike MEMNON over @ the well-known B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore in Maryland that officially happens to basically have been constructed in Newcastle in Delaware in the year of precisely 1848(exactly 1whole century prior to nationalization of the railways in the U K commenced SINCE safety devices for steam-driven railway locomotives certainly hadn't been officially invented yet!

I personally just suddenly couldn't agree more on that officially well-known observation as I personally just suddenly feel quite sure that Alan Pegler himself certainly would basically be happily looking down from Heaven right now knowing that the famously well-known sole-serving Doncaster built in the year of precisely 1923 respectfully L N E R class A1/A3 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself known as the Flying Scotsman that he officially well-knowingly saved from the Scrapper's torch in the officially well-known 1960s for a specifically certain amount of money!

I agree, the film is beautifully made and the sound editing allows the footplate crew to comment on the footplate events to put the viewer completely in the picture as to the events taking place.

Russ G Although ironically in the UK train engineers are called drivers.

Certainly are, locomotive engineers are called fitters over here as well. We don't call drivers engineers because they would arrive on shed, sign on, find the loco he was rostered too, then oil the loco up and then set the loco on its way to do a days work. As I understand it the US 'engineers' did a little more..?

It’s Not a great whistle sound tho

That was very enjoyable. Would like to see more videos like this.

They are only known as Drivers and Firemen in the UK

not lodes over here but quite a few heritage railways

@@AdamWilliams-lc9sd over 150 heritage railways, multiple mainline operators, and hundreds of preserved locomotives. It's fairly common, especially compared to the preservation efforts of some other countries.

That symphony of sounds, indeed.

Shhh. I'm worried that the powers that be will start panicking when the mainline 'stars' start topping the century. I remember the Shildon do, when No1 was treated with kid gloves (and still managed to put her tender 'on the floor'). She was about as old then as Scotsman is now...

I trust you are aware that this is a professional TV production with linked remote camera's and post production narration & shown frequently on BBC4!!

She was the locomotive built for the Flying Scotsman service in 1923, alongside two other A1 pacifics, hence the name...

Watch the Duke from Winchfield to Eastleigh... you might change your mind.

+1. To be honest, most British steam whistles sound pretty anemic to me. This one is particularly whispy. But at least it's a steam whistle.

It's the worst wisteria I've ever heard, and I'm not a fan of the loco itself.

Sounds like the whistle needs adjustment. Either it's being overblown or the bell is misaligned.

the whistle is that high a pitch because it carries further. In oz the tone is lower and sounds more throaty. The reason is also because in oz the lower pitch carries further. That is my understanding from what i have heard.

goes against all physics of sound travel and frequency for electromagnetic spectrum. With as many trains as they had and even still run their whistles aren't as over bearing like the US steam locos. Especially within crowded metros.

Glad you enjoyed it

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally thought 'bout fixing on a new whistle to the famous locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley that's basically very much well-known as the Flying Scotsman that sounds exactly like the whistle from the famous Thomas and Friends TV series when the Flying Scotsman made his own official first EVER speaking appearance throughout 2 movies known as the Great Race & Big World Big Adventures! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that the new whistle that I personally surely would look BASICALLY like the whistle on Memnon @ the B&O Railroad Museum despite sounding like the whistle from the popular TV show known as Thomas and Friends starting the famously cheeky Thomas the Tank Engine!

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally think that the famously designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley known as the Flying Scotsman certainly WOULD definitely look EXACTLY wonderfully awesomely splendid wearing his former number known as the number of 4472 since it's basically obviously clear that it's completely obviously clear to basically have been the same exact number that's basically been painted on the side of his own official 2nd tender that carries extra water as the Other Railway barely has any fuel for steam-driven railway locomotives! In fact, the famous locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley known as the Flying Scotsman had been built in Doncaster exactly 1 whole century ago this month!

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally 100% actually WOULD definitely like to be completely having such a great opportunity-taking task of featuring the famous locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley known as the Flying Scotsman in a special Day out with Thomas once every year by simply placing a face on the front of the famous locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley known as the Flying Scotsman's own smokebox as a specific way to make him look exactly like the character from the movie titled The Great Race when Gordon's brother made his own official full CGI animated imaged comeback!

I personally just suddenly came up with the officially well-knowingly clever idea of completely refitting the famously well-known sole-serving Doncaster built in the year of precisely 1923 respectfully known as the Flying Scotsman with a new firebox equiped with a door that officially can easily be opened via pedal on the footplate meaning that the fireman certainly would basically have easier access to the firebox when stoking the fire as the official idea came to me from watching the official 2004 movie titled The Polar Express!

I personally just suddenly feel quite sure that the famously well-known sole-serving Doncaster built in the year of precisely 1923 respectfully known as the Flying Scotsman who'd been the very 1st steam-driven railway tender locomotive to reach 100 MPH top speed certainly would basically love to return to the USA with me as his/her own official new private owner as that'll basically make all of Flying Scotsman's previous private owners feel very shockingly surprisingly proud starting with Alan Pegler followed by Sir William McAlpine,etc!

Both steam speed record holders. 60103 (as 4472) was the first locomotive to officially top 100mph in 1934 - and of course Mallard's 126 is still unsurpassed.

lucky it wasn't raining

Sorry, that can't be right. Roger doesn't drive on the mainline - a senior man on the SVR only I believe

Roger was my driver manager when I joined Connex (now Southern) at Barnham in 2000. He’s a lovely man really

Flying Scotsman was the first loco to (officially) reach 100 mph, but is now restricted to 75,

Hahahhahaaaaa

Gordon isn’t real

I personally just suddenly couldn't agree more on that officially well-known observation as it officially makes sense to why Flying Scotsman's brother known as Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive's always oftentimes getting stuck on his own hill whenever pulling any type of train including the Express meaning that Edward the Blue Engine's gotta act as his own official banker; which certainly happens to basically have taken place during the show's own official complete classic era's complete 1st season episode titled Edward Helps Out that merges the official 1st pair of stories from the Railway Series book titled the 3 Railway Engines (Edward's Day Out/Edward and Gordon) into 1 whole official episode! In fact, not too long ago on this very day, I personally just suddenly saw a specifically wonderfully great KZfaq video that's basically a Trampy movie titled Edward that's basically based on that officially well-known episode with some changes!

​@@memahselfniFYI, I personally just suddenly came to realization that Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself in Doncaster in the officially well-known 1920s certainly happens to be basically based on the well-known custom-built in the year of precisely 2008 Peppercorn L N E R class A1 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive known as Tornado with modifications that officially include a larger boiler meaning that Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive's ACTUALLY considered to be exactly 100% real nonetheless!

@@memahselfni Yes Gordon is a real Engine and it is Blue, it is a Blue 2-10-0 millatary freight Austerity loco built in the 1940's for the British Army in WW2 and was based at Longmoor Millatery Railway in Hampshire UK now closed and is now based on the Severn Valley Railway UK, it is blue and named Gordon

rd3ster We only drink tea in England

Of course! Silly me.

It's an absolute joy! I'm a fireman in The Netherlands for the RTM (Rotterdamsche Tramweg Maatschappij in Ouddorp - www.rtm-ouddorp.nl/ ).Our track is 6 miles / 10 km long so a full ride is about 12 miles / 20 km. We drive smaller steam engines, diesel-mechanic and diesel-electric engines, but it is a joy nevertheless! Though we are all volunteers, we have followed an official course for driving steam engines and had to pass the same exam as the drivers and firemen did in the days behind us. Apart from the theory it boils mostly down to common sense and experience. How to maintain the balance between steam pressure, water level in the boiler and heat of the fire. How to drive effectively while still drive economically (and comfortably for the passengers). I'd say: look for a steam railroad foundation near you and just apply as volunteer! I bet they will be happy to have you. Show them that you're willing to make your hands dirty and are willing and able to use some elbow grease (for humble tasks as well) and who knows, you may still end up as a driver someday! I started as a volunteer at 49 and a year later I passed my exam as fireman. I'll have to make more miles of experience before I may apply for my driver's exam, but once again: it is fun!

It's likely it was Sat for a much longer time than first assumed. Also I guess they didn't fancy taking any chances as over 4 million quid went into it lol

Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive: You're making me feel quite proud despite my own official secreted jealousy towards you, my own officially sole-serving Doncaster built in the year of 1923 respectfully brother known as the Flying Scotsman!

Gordon isn’t real

Well fyi, Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself in Doncaster certainly happens to be very shockingly surprisingly obviously 100% basically based on the well-known 2008 custom-built L N E R class A1 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive known as Tornado with modifications that officially include a larger boiler! And so, technically speaking through scientific notation, Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself in Doncaster in the officially well-known 1920s certainly DOES happen to be real!

EXCELLENT WORK WITH THIS OFFICIAL VIDEO TAKIN' PLACE ON THE FOOTPLATE OF GORDON THE BIG BLUE LIVERY-PAINTWORK CARRYING THE OFFICIAL #4 L N E R CLASS A0 PACIFIC TYPE OF STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY TENDER LOCOMOTIVE DESIGNED IN DONCASTER BY SIR HERBERT NIGEL GRESLEY HIMSELF AS A PROTOTYPE OF THE WELL-KNOWN L N E R CLASS A1 PACIFIC TYPE OF STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY TENDER LOCOMOTIVE'S OWN OFFICIAL SOLE-SERVING DONCASTER BUILT ON THE DATE OF FEBRUARY 24TH RESPECTFULLY L N E R CLASS A3 PACIFIC TYPE OF STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY TENDER LOCOMOTIVE DESIGNED BY SIR HERBERT NIGEL GRESLEY HIMSELF KNOWN AS THE FLYIN' SCOTSMAN!

I personally just suddenly realized that's basically what Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself in Doncaster during the official 1920s certainly would basically say when passing through each of the stations on the Severn Valley Railway on an official complete non-stop passenger run from Bridge North to killer Minster!

British locomotives seem to vary a bit, earlier locomotives drive on the right-hand side, Scotsman too until she was converted to left-hand driving side later on.) The majority, particularly later designs were left-hand drive except from GWR which preferred the right-hand side drive right until the end of steam.

Heritage Railways do not have to apply for a full Safety Certificate if they remain at the 25mph speed limit. The standards you would have to meet to be able to apply for one would be beyond the capabilities of most organisations. It's not worth the effort over such short distances when you are basically selling a pretty view and a steam engine.

Most heritage railways (but not all) operate as ‘light railways’ to avoid some of the more stringent regulations, a downside to this is the 25mph speed restriction. Not to say tat crews will necessarily stick to this.

This s because its on a bank that is always moving so they do it incase the track ahead is broken or has a problem (i am a volunteer on the severn valley railway)

E.Slater, are you being serious? Topography and the land play no part in the top limit of the Railway. It is purely down to the fact that the SVR is under a Light Railway Order. Yes, certain lower limits are applied on bridges, viaducts etc but not the top limit. Take the KDR-BEW section, what part there is moving I ask you? The top speed limit is still 25mph because of the LRO. Exceptions exist for testing, but they are not passenger carrying.

The LRO determines the maximum permitted speed of 25mph, but Mr Slater is right in that there are sections of the SVR which have caused problems with movement since the railway opened in the 1860s. At Sterns there is constant movement towards the river and there has been heavy investment at the County boundary recently for similar reasons. We shouldn't forget that in 2007 the line 'slipped away' in more than 40 places, so the topograpnhy and land does have a significant influence on how the railway operates.

FINALLY someone who agrees with my long-held view that 2750 was more important than most of our preserved locomotives. Still the holder of the British unstreamlined speed record. Indeed, what I wouldn't to have both she and 2509 back on our rails. Without wishing to hurt certain people's feelings, 4488 (Dominion of Canada) was always regarded as the 'sluggard' of the A4s, and yet she survived, yet 2509, the first of the A4s, and probably the greatest day-to-day runner (27th Sept 1935 is a good start) of any British locomotive was lost to us. I have a photograph of her, languishing in a light dusting of snow, unwanted, derelict, and due for scrapping outside Doncaster works of all places :-(

Paul Caswell i totally Agree with what you are saying. I don’t know wether you agree wether alive link of the A4 should of been saved too because that hauled some very important trains, and still performed very well. In addition to this there also should of been more get king class saved too because as much as I love the castle and halls many of those where built would of been nice to have something a bit more rare. My favourite loco is Pendennis castle. What’s yours ?

Favourite preserved - Mallard for history, Green Arrow (60800) for design and work done. Favourite lost (apart from Silver Link) - GNR 1470 Great Northern - the first and pioneering Gresley Pacific.

On to my 'if only' list are two more - the original GW de Glehn compound Atlantic 'La France', and finally, SNCF 242A1 - Chapelon's masterpiece.

@@paulcaswell2813 Dominion of Canada is at National Railroad Museum in Canada right now tho

You couldn't shut it quickly if necessary, for example when the wheels slip.

I suspect the token system is becuase its a heritage railway line. I guess its a bit late to strangle whoever designed that whistle!

The 'rods' as you refer to them are not rods but in fact ladders (which you are seeing from side-on perspective) for signal engineers/technicians to gain access to the signalling for maintenance etc. The loops are safety rails in effect. The engineer/technician can stand on a rung and rest against the guard hoop if he wishes.

That would be the regulator. In other words, the throttle. The regulator admits steam to the cylinders which moves the locomotive. Steam locomotives seem very sensitive to the regulator. Too much throttle and the wheels will spin, like at the beginning of the run. The driver has to find the sweet spot between lack of power and too much of it in order to move the engine, so delicate operation of the regulator is necessary, even if it doesn't look like it's moved all that much. Although, the regulator doesn't look easy to operate. It seems very stiff and not ideal for precision throttle control.

Flibble Wally i

The Flying Scotsman draws crowds wherever she goes. More than 40,000 people saw her that week-end at the Severn Valley Railway. She was the first engine to ever exceed 100 mph and is, arguably, the most famous locomotive in the world. She had just returned to steam after a break of more than 10 years.

It's probably like how whenever Union Pacific brings out No. 844 or the Big Boy for an excursion, lots of people come out to see them.

Michael Hesterberg yes it was special it’s a very special loco it was a guest loco it’s very rare to see it

You must be pi55ed we invented it all

Try a Kylchap double with the blower on at the other end LOL!

Tomedy The fireman is a volunteer too.

The driver is a professional as well I thought

Maya McCallum no I volunteer at seven valley roger (driver) and the fireman are both volunteers that are to of our senior drivers and firemen

Paid professional what's?

Jordan Brown oh ok

David Webster who uses DVD’s anymore

Yes there is not sure how to get hold of one but google BBC,

The BBC DVD has 192 minutes and should still be available. Severn Valley Railway will also have copies.

Your stupid

Correction, you are (you're) stupid! Unless you are trying to indicate that stupid belongs to Mr Osgerby, seeing as it is a possessive pronoun that you use. Dipshit!

J Watson... Flange squeal

its him shovelling the coal

Elliot slater... Um... What??? You can't be serious.

Shovelling coal?? My lord above, it is the squeal of the wheel flanges on the rails as the loco negotiates the curved track (and this from someone who I believe elsewhere states they are a volunteer on the SVR...well I would expect you to know different then)

No

She did carry one previously.@@peterwilliamallen1063
