Amazing video and such a great narrator

Love the demonstration!! Thank you for this video!

I'm so excited to see this Locomotive to come back to steam!

Very well explained by Robin.

The turntable at GWR swindon is still there, but sadly in a poor state, as an employee at GWR and young man in my early 20's i watched it being used many times marveling at how just 2 men could mover such immense machines with relative ease. fond memories.

Nice.

Live this video. Great commentary and insight of your operation!

47077 was the hardest to spot in my spotting years. She came through Church Stretton on the Cardiff to Crewe line one evening though. Must have been 1976/early 1977. I've slept since then! Good to see her looking so well looked after

You are all bastxrds

Hello Great video thanks I can find the second video on track circuit block. Could you direct me please? Thanks

I have just found this video and i love it . I am always looking at the live railcam at Blue Anchor station and always wondered what it would be like to travel that line . I wonder if the passengers at Blue Anchor station know that a guy thousands of miles away in Australia watching them .

What a lovely film, and for a great cause. Well done and congratulations to all involved.

Excellent account. The gangway rubbing plates are an important reason för the steady ride you get in a mark 1 coach. Blood and custard was universal until 1955 when maroon became the standard and the Southern and GWR liveries were reintroduced. Because Southern green was standard for electric stock it may be that some Southern Railway locomotive hauled stock was "incorrectly" repainted into green livery and never received the BR livery.

Depends on the geography. On this line there is the climb to Washford from Blue Anchor and then the constant climb to Crocombe Heathfield from Wiliton.

A fine recording,thank you very much. Paul

Is the Main line at Bishops?

Better then doing a year at school ! Thenk you SIR or.. ;) With the picture of the vacuum brake would be nice to circle around of parts when talking of each of them so easier to follow, a paused serveral times to search the part you talking about and then need to rewind to be able to follow. But for the rest really good and informative video, even for me as a non english speaking person. Greetings from Belgium Neighbour

It's the 25mph limit that kills me... however I know that's the legal speed

Great , but wheres the rest of the story???

Good one, thanks!

One the engines looked like The City of Truo.

I have a Hardback Book called The Railway Policeman. The Story of the Constable on the Track.

Enjoyed the thorough and informative rendition, a marvellous organisation.

Time flies by when I'm a driver on a train and I ride on the foot plate there and back again.

I also have a Hardback Book called The Railway Policeman. The Story of the Constable on the Track.

Lovely ride and chat👍

You're a really useful engine.

A Really Useful Railway.

Great vid. Lots of explanation and no elevator music!!!!!

Very clear video with lots of information on signalling. Thank you.

The speed restrictions are crazy

I wish it was more than 25mph

Good video. One tiny technical correction though - the science of "stopping on a rising brake" is not because "as the speed of the train gets less it has less energy" as mentioned - although that is true - the real reason is that as the speed of the wheels against the brake blocks gets lower, the friction coefficient increases. So for the same brake pressure or vacuum, the drag applied to the wheels increases significantly as it comes towards a halt. Releasing the brake a little, to reduce the force on the brake block just as the wheels are coming to rest, compensates for the higher friction to avoid that jarring stop. Same with your car brakes - the friction between pad and disc increases at low speed, so releasing the foot brake a little gives a smoother stop. You see the same effect when a loco slips under hard driving - it can be pulling and accelerating quite hard, when the wheels are not slipping on the rails, but if a little too much power is applied and the wheels just start to slip the friction reduces so the acceleration of the train reduces and the wheels spin faster. To regain peak traction, you have to slacken the regulator until the wheels actually stop slipping and the friction is maximised. I'm a tribologist (scientist who deals with friction) who happens to have driven steam engines sometimes! Mostly 5" gauge live steam but occasionally full size. Marion

Brilliant video Coverage of the mk1 stock I have a model railway with these which are my favourite. Many thanks Robin very interesting indeed. Kind regards Brian

*THANK YOU BRITISH RAILWAYS FOR PRESERVING 92220!* she is the Queen of BR! Long Live The Queen!

I hope it stays in BR livery, suits it better than GWR for me

What an absolutely wonderful and interesting video packed with so much information, really educational. I must admit I've always had a preference for the old Mk1s in whatever format. So much nostalgia from when I used to travel from Penzance to Bristol Temple Meads as a kid in the early 60's. It used to be so exciting and so much fun walking up and down the corridors back in the day...

Hi west somerset railway my profile is a train for the wsr

Brilliant Video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Very informative. Thank you.

With the diesel freight in video I was wondering are there any preserved GWR Toad break vans on WSR or heritage lines?

One day a reconnection to Taunton

Whatever happened to BRs 1Co-Co1 10201-3 I used to love watching them hauling coal trains from Nottingham through St Albans or occasionally guesting on LMR west coast line
