It was a major loss to preservationist that this unique engine was scrapped. I sure hope a replica is built one day in my lifetime.

@PreservationEnthusiast 8 ай бұрын

What use would it be? Too big for heritage railways. Not suitable for rail tour passenger main line use either. It was just suited for banking. Just a waste of coal and source of pollution in modern days.

@@PreservationEnthusiast She was a rare engine. She was worthy of preservation, even if she were to be on permanent display in a museum. If a working replica were built, the engine could work on the Lickey Incline just as her predecessor did.

@@matthewpowell2429 DB Cargo use dedicated class 66 diesels for banking purposes now. It would not make sense to have a single steam engine doing that work. The infrastructure does not exist for coaling, watering and maintenance. The class 66 are much better suited for operational readiness. Not to mention more powerful... tractive effort of 58,000 lbs as opposed to 43,000 lbs of Big Bertha. Plus the class 66s are 3x more efficient in terms of fuel and don't need to be kept in steam wasting fuel between banking duties... very important for a banker when the work may be very intermittent depending on traffic movements. All in all, your suggestion does not make any operational sense, using old technology for these modern duties.

Big Bertha is certainly a gentle giant, should've been preserved, rip Big Bertha

Big Bertha was not a person. It was an inanimate collection of steel and copper. Which was melted down for scrap. Best use for the materials.

It was not 'Neeshells" it was "Neetchulls", at least that's what my CEGB power station friends told me.

Many lines closed because they only had one or two trains a day. If they had a service at regular intervals, at clock face times, many services might have been saved. One line closed under Beeching serving two medium-sized towns had six trains each way. In one direction, if not both, had a three-hour gap with no trains, then two within half an hour!

Restoration of steam engines, sounds like heaven, I wish the main line would have steam engines running again, it would be just like heyday when they used to be really useful, but for now they can enjoy their time on other railways before the time comes to glory days

I watched those @1:33:11, the narrator has mispronounced the surname of the SECR/SR CME. It's Mansell (like the 1992 British Formula 1 World Champion, not 'Mornsell'. The BBC, with its vast resources, really should have got that right given that the speaker is their man, Peter Woods.

All aspects of railways…no mention of the two or three gas turbine locos…hardly surprising with no recording of any of them at speed or their performance… Nor I bet, and a safe bet, no mention of the wonderful Brighton moguls…. Here’s hoping my pessimistic speculation is proved wrong…but I honestly doubt it…
