Finest Locomotive Ever

“There are two ways of doing things, the wrong way, or the great western way, and I am great western so I-“

Naming them after antelope to annoy the head of railways.

The B1 Ten Wheelers were pretty delacate of line for a design made during the fog of World War 2 and at the height of the Blitz.

I like the B1s and also the L1s if for no other reason than they looked good. Without a doubt the B1 was a very succesful loco as they built 410 of them, ofccourse the Black 5 must of been the inspiration, they were with out a doubt probably the most sucessfull general purpose locomotive built along with Staniers 8F

This is a poor representation of the locomotive in east dunhamingtonshireford park. There was also one in chattinghamsquarefordbog

I would have thought that it stopped being a passenger station shortly after it opened as demand forced the building of much larger stations.

A travesty of a history of this engine. The Castle was merely one of G. J. Churchward's STAR class (Churchward sadly not even mentioned) with a larger boiler and given a more enclosed cab. The idea it was new design is self-evidently just nonsense.

I read that these powerful locos would pull trains of up to 26 coaches transferring troops up and down the country during WWll.

I think the B1 is a great looking loco. Thompson's best. Which is more than can be said for his Pacifics.

This is the first time that I've heard anyone say four-six-zero and four-four-zero rather than four-six-o etc. and did I hear LNR rather than LNER? The GN 4-4-0 shown was hardly a large example of that wheel arrangement - BR power class 1P! The B17s were rough riders too.

See the original full GWR Engine Book 1932, just click my graphic and scroll down the videos.😊

I would like to see a comparison of the Hall, B1 and the LMS and BR 5s. The B1 boilers were originally troublesome and there was a proposed to rebuild the class with LMS style boilers, but the problem was resolved with the original boilers.

863 built...I wonder if it was successful.

Clun Castle in Plymouth tonight attempting a high speed run in from Plymouth to Bristol in the morning

I applaud this video for recognising the excellence of Thompson and his team in the Second World War.

Hm. The B1's were very good, but they could be catastrophic rough riders and threw sparks like nobodies business. Even though they were 3 cylinder, the B16's (remember them?) were a LOT better, especially in B16/2 and B16/3 form.

The B1 is more of a contemporary of the later modified Hall's with Gressley's Sandringham's/Footballers being closer in date to the original Hall's

The LNER B1 is a superior locomotive to any GW 4-6-0, the end

Enjoyable film, one of my favourite steam locos.

You know what I say: *QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!!!*

All round, an interesting and informative video. BUT… if you insist on using a “Robo Voice” you need to learn to type phonetically, so that it says what you want it to say, in a way which is not stilted. Otherwise great. But buy a decent mic and do your own voice over… it’s fun too 😊

We travelled behind B1s when we went up to norfolk to visit our country cousins

The great Western way is to do work without fuss

They were regular performers on the Great Central Mainline

My favorite british steam engine, greetings from Costa Rica 👋

Hey kids! Don't listen to the awful AI voice in this video, go watch something with a real human in.

Beautiful locomotives. There is something very pleasing about them.

Thankyou . I recall staring over the bridge at Newton Abobt and watching the crew polishing the brass fittings whilst waiting for these beautiful engines to pull out .

I'm not sure whether there is a problem with the commentary, but please note that a 4-4-0 is not an Atlantic, an Atlantic is a 4-4-2.

Grossly americanised commentary. Collett is stressed on the first syllable not the last; loco numbers are read 'four, o, seven, nine' not 'four thousand, seventy-nine'. British locos, British accented narration, British audience. It all sounds bizarre! Get it sounding right. Otherwise, not bad. Oh, and William Stan-ee-ay? Who the hell was he?

Unique , indeed❤ I have2@Tauraco00

Why didn't someone tell production the right way to say wheel arrangements?? What a shame

This is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley likes trains.

Thank God for Dai Woodham.

You could argue the Thompson A1/1 was the best single locomotive he ever made. The B1 is probably the best class he ever developed, though.

You know, the officially well-knowingly obviously obvious Thomas and Friends character known as Duck the Great Western Railway 57OO class pannier tank engine himself certainly happened to basically have been officially well-knowingly obviously based on the well-known G W R class 57OO class pannier tank engines designed by Charles Collette himself!

In 1961 Caerphilly Castle was moved from Swindon by road to the Science Museum in London th-cam.com/video/inYllg8hs6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L9Nzz51G7Y7FRDWO

Designed by Collett, voiced by FIAT.

Please, please, please, educate your commentator to pronounce things correctly. The 5700 class was called the fiftyseven hundred class NOT five seven zero zero. Consult someone who knows about railways before making these potentially interesting but ultimately irritating efforts

Use a proper voice. Automated voice is crxp.

'Carefully Castle' (subtitles) I love it!

I knew 7 of these, very interesting facts, keep up the good work 😃

Hello There I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please?

hi there, we used to have 9682 at southall railway centre i think its at the west somerset rly now.great to see one in the railway children film of 1972. but ithink the Jinties ruled the LMS

We had one at GCR Loughborough ditcheat manor good little workhorse

Was aware of Dent and Corrour, interestingly more remote than Snowdon’s summit station! Also worth noting that Mr William Huskisson MP was killed or certainly died in hospital having been hit by a train at the Rainhill Trials.

THATS NOT THE GREAT WESTERN WAY YOU BIG LNER EXPRESS ENGINE! said duck IM THE FLYING SCOTSMAN THE MOST FAMOUS ENGINE IN THE WORLD HOW DARE YOU! said flying scotsman YOUR JUST OVERATED AND CANT DO A SIMPLE JOB RIGHT! repplied duck he snorted at scotsman and puffed away muttering somthing to himself...
