Top 10 Extinct British Steam Locomotives

This is my first Top 10, after watching Christopher Kovacs's Top 15 Extinct American Steam Locomotives i decided to do my own version, but with British steam locomotives instead and with 5 less just because Britain is smaller.
Enjoy the video, it took a day to record my voice and edit it. :)

All good candidates for replica building, Pendennis, but might I put in a plea for some of the long gone early locos of the 1840s or 50s, like the 'Jenny Lind', 'Sharpie', and 'Crampton' types. They would be easy enough to reconstruct, being not much larger than a modern 0-6-0, and would look marvellous on preserved railways, especially if suitable carriages were built to go with them. Anyway, thanks for an interesting video!

The Dunalastair class is extinct in the UK, but not completely, as in Belgium there is a locomotive of the type 18 class preserved, which was a development of the type 17 of the same railway. That type 17 in itself was a copy of the Dunalastair II class. Apart from the cab that looks different on the class 18 everything else looks exactly like a Dunalastair, they even used the same prussian blue color, altough it is now painted in the standard drab brown of the belgian state railways were it ran in later, before the merging of the Belgian state railways and the Nord into NMBS, when it changed into green. The locomotive is on static display in the new Train World in Schaarbeek (Brussels) and it's not likely to run in the future (as is the case with GNoSR and NBR 4-4-0's that are preserved)

Correct. During WW2 they replaced the Z class at Hither Green. Other classes used on banking duties between Exeter St Davids and Exeter Central were the E1R 062T and W 264T. I never saw the E1R class. In addition the M7 044 and Standard Class 262 also performed this role as required, occasionally an ex GWR 060 pannier tank. Into dieselisation, the Meldon Quarry stone trains has a Hymec or Warship class loco at the head, and were banked by a baby Warship in the rear.

I think what BR did was scandalous, offing some perfectly good steam loco's in the rush to "dieselisation". Mongrels I reckon...some of them had done less than 10 years service. Dai Woodham was a saint, putting the loco's to one side while he scrapped the more lucrative wagon stock, long enough for preservation societies to come into being and rescue over 200 of the unfortunates. Thanks to him the UK now has enough loco's to see steam well into the future...

@martinsims1273 4 жыл бұрын

The policy makers in BR weren't interested in the sensible option (which was to make the best use of the financial capital, and use the steam loco stock for it's full practical life span, until it was worn out, thus getting the best long term, proper financial value out of them, which as an (incidental, and nice) offshoot would have seen Britain still with steam traction for many more years. No, they were besotted with their new "fashion statement" "modern image", and the money they had to spend on it/throw away, was not theirs, i.e; it was public money raised from taxes, so that it did not hurt their own pockets to squander it. No proper, right thinking business would spend bucket loads of money on building new equipment (as BR did with the BR standard steam loco fleet), only to then scrap it all wastefully, within a very few short years of being built new. And they weren't held accountable (not to the public) for their grossly squandering, wasteful actions. Was it ever so with government officials, who hide behind none accountability in beaurocratic departments?

@PreservationEnthusiast 3 жыл бұрын

@@martinsims1273 Well one can argue they saved money because maintaining, cleaning, and starting up steam locos was a big drag on labour. Also only 2/3 the number of diesel and electric locos could do the same job. But where they really went wrong was wasting money on producing the BR standards in the first place. It was a disputed project and somewhat of a vanity exercise for Riddles & Co. It would have been possible to continue with the designs of the 30s and 40s till other forms of traction took over in the 50s and 60s. Pretty much what happened in the USA for example.
