@@martinanderson4721 I'm not sure.

It was more for me doing dialogue while I was there 😂. I've re-edited this video now with more info.

@@Thebigfour1923 That must have been an amazing experience.

@Ciara.Higgins-xz9im It is a challenging walk. There are benches every so often to sit and rest, which I took full advantage of.

@@user-rc4eu1be7d It is great to see a good variation. Thanks for your comment.

@@glenharrison987 It was one of my favourites at Shildon.

It was on trials from Newton le Willows towards Liverpool mid 60s. Wonderful sight.

Newton le Willows being the English Electric works The Deltic a bit later than 1955 ? I remember seeing on Trial runs heading to Liverpool 62/63.

Shildon the Railway Town ? What do they say to that in Darlington ??

@martinanderson4721 I was going from information on the boards, and it states 1955. Saying that, I was in the New Hall, and it states one loco was 1948, but online states built between 1951-52.

@@lewiscartwright3609 I think that's the first one I saw when I walked in. Very impressive.

@philipmyatt1458 The Deltic looks great, as does the Winston Churchill train. I have to agree that the Shildon museum is the better of the two, although I like York's North Shed.

The Abbey is still there i believe its called Easby Abbey it is behind the old train station/cinema quite off the beaten path but worth a look if you ever go back

@@AWreckedIsleDysfunction8882 I assumed it was no longer there. I couldn't see it from the Great Tower, and I visited the old station as well. It gives me a reason to return, walk by the river, and give it a visit. Thanks for letting me know.

@@smogontheline Smashing mate, if your looking for a cheap pint try the cricket ground its got a canny little bar and if theirs a game on its a nice place to relax

@@FuelFire I was just going from what the gentleman was telling me as he was showing me the components and telling me how it differed from the original.

They are impressive.

@@TheTransportLover976 It was great to see them both today.

@@smogontheline you are very lucky. But I’m excited for Sunday

@@TheTransportLover976 Are you heading to Shildon or somewhere else?

@@smogontheline Harrow and Wealdstone

@@TheTransportLover976 Have a good one 👍

@richardfrost7334 I'm just going off information boards and from what people are telling me. I'm learning as I'm going, as I'm new to this type of content.

@@MartGaebler Hope it works out for you and that the weather is great. It's a wonderful experience. Enjoy.

@@user-zp8ps5jr7e I definitely want to see more of the Lake District.

Thanks for the information. Will be great to see her back on the Whitby line.

@@smogontheline Yes my favourite class of tank engine so I will also be very pleased to see her back in service. NYMR Newsletter had the info in so it is from a good source

Are you going to see the Locomotives today going to Whitby? LMS Black 5, etc?

@@smogontheline No. I rarely get to the railway it is not an easy journey by public transport, I do like to keep up to date on whats going on there though

@cedarcam I'm hoping to get up to the NYMR in the coming weeks, so I'm sure I'll capture some locomotives for my channel. Have you seen my Shildon videos? That was a very interesting museum.

@Nealson454 There is a plaque on the right-hand side of the building and information board. It's a shame it couldn't be reverted back and have a museum there. There is a sculpture over the road from it to make where the train line used to be.

@@smogontheline thanks for the response! I’ve always wanted to take a trip down and tour the Stockton to Darlington railway (or whatever is left of it).

@@Nealson454 There seems to be more at Darlington, with a new train museum called Hope Town. I'm hoping to do a video on that museum at some point.

@@stano4601 Thanks. Hope the weather is decent for your trip.

@@geoffh2560 It is a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for watching.

@sammimm6678 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. 👍👋

Nice video but you got many things wrong.

@kcj2167 It was a spontaneous visit to Barrow-in-Furness, so it was all new to me. What did I get wrong? I kept saying port rather than Dock, I know that 😂

@@danensis Thanks. Will certainly have a look at those places for next time.

@@ayrtongaming2564 It was a fun trip. Full video is on my channel. Thanks.

@@jono1457-qd9ft It was just the same at my destination 😂

@@danieloakes7355 Correct 👍

@@TheWacoKid1963 I think he said it was built at Rainhill in 1979.

@@smogontheline I've watch that part again, he doesn't mention were it was built, just the year it was built, I know one of the many replicas were built in the old Springwell colliery workshops around that time, I saw photos of the build when I was a volunteer there in the mid 1990s, I think it was built by engineering students

@TheWacoKid1963 I was speaking with him before I started recording, and he was discussing dates and places. I know he mentioned a few places, but I can't fully remember regarding that replica. If I go up to Locomotion again, I can certainly ask.

I will be doing a video on Preston Park walks soon. What would you like to see? The walks on offer, accessibility, or something else? Thanks.

I did this video, but I'm planning on doing others. th-cam.com/video/AawP7sHxNSs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1cWfNMa6eIgZqFFt

@@smogontheline Thank you for your reply I was thinking of a history tour from six fields Hartburn thru to Preston onto Yarm , and of course accessible on foot The path is almost there in parts of, though mud is involved ! It’s a great access from Hartburn to Yarm, but requires further publicity, ie like your wonderful video. Thank you Alan 😊🏴‍☠️

@alanchriston6806 I have a Yarm video edited, and I will be adding it to my channel. I plan on doing another Preston Park video and doing the walk to Yarm. I tried a couple of times to do the walk, but the ground was very muddy. I hope that the better weather will make it easier on foot. Thanks.

Very true.

It's a great locomotive. I've just been to Haverthwaite Station and the engine shed there. Will put a video on here soon. Thanks for your comment.

The Black Five locomotive has so many levers and things. As you say, they are so cool to see in action.

The sheer size of them is amazing. I did a clip of me walking near them to show just how big. I looked so small, and I'm 6ft.

What other bits and pieces did you own, or is it a very long list of items? I have seen Black Five and others on my travels, and they look stunning and stand out, compared to modern trains. Thanks for your comment.

It's a 4-6-0 (10 wheeler configuration).

@@smogontheline ALSO KNOWN AS A GRANGE!!

@@DavidScholz-bu1ix Not really, no. The 4-6-0 configuration never had a memorable name in British usage. The GWR liked the 4-6-0 arrangement and made many classes including the Granges, but also the Stars, Castles and Kings, the Saints, Halls, Granges, Manors and Counties. The GWR only made one example of the Pacific wheel arrangement, Churchward's The Great Bear, and it was disappointing in performance as well as being very heavy, which restricted its route availability.

@@MuttleyMutter WELL, IN THE OFFICIAL GREAT BRITAIN SECTION OF MY OWN OFFICIAL DVD TITLED THE BEST OF WORLD STEAM NARRATED BY PETER FAIRHEAD HIMSELF, THE OFFICIAL NICKNAME OF GRANGE WAS MENTIONED!

That was just the Great Hall area, too. On Wednesday I will being going in the New Hall, showing you some very different vehicles, as well as trains. The café is a little pricey, but when you factor in that it's free admission, then it's not too bad. Thank you for watching and commenting.
