Immensely Powerful Class 56s and my LEGO Locomotive: Chasing Trains
ฝัง

- Starting at Clapham Junction, two class 56s scream away on their journey from Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Chessington South.
At Richmond Park I then settle down with some LEGO Bricks to create a locomotive alongside some coots.
The 56s later return and I manage to catch them one last time at Raynes Park!
Remember to play, because play is a superpower. Start building with me - lego.com/superpowerofplay?cmp...
People don't know what they are missing when they feel the power and the noise of a class 56 old skool diesel, great videos Francis.
I’ve seen them coming through rowley Regis to the svr they have a subsonic energy
I love that you are unashamedly enjoying yourself looking at trains. I know most people don't understand the love of trains, but I do. I love to see them. And I'm just now getting into going around looking at them. Good on you Francois 😊
I fully agree. I'm older than Francis but I also fully understand the wish to connect back to childhood and if that means building Lego, so be it. Wonderful videos, great enthusiasm and a warm smile.
That smile whenever you see a locomotive!
It’s faked to perfection
@@project182r3 You must live in a very sad world, huh.
@@project182r3good to see people smile and have fun
@@project182r3idiot you are.
@@cryptidian3530No as sad as yours.
Francis you give me the will to carry on living, your life energy is really contagious. If i feel a bit jaded I just watch your vids, them I'm up for it again. Thank you. 😊👍
Phenomenal sound of the 56s! Love it.
Francis never fails to make me smile!
Francis with coots is about as much joy as Francis with trains! Fabulous! Love it xxxx
Hats off to Chris Gunthorpe and Wayne Gaskell, for providing us with such amazing 'driving force' engines! Always a delight to see Francis delighted! 🤗🤗🥰🥰❤❤
Love the sound of the old diesel-electrics given the beans. Also love the sound of the steam loco's on full throttle .There again, Dad is an ex BR loco engineer.
Class 56s are pure magic. Well done Francis you are such a joy.
Your enthusiasm, buoyancy, and effervescence are infectious to watch lol, your giggles when you hear the tones lol, and really admire your narration too, complete with hilarity, just huge congratulations on your much deserved success! Hoping they name train/Station after you ❤
I like your enthusiasm of the thrash of the 56s and stuff and I quite like the class 37s when they accelerate with loads of thrash and tones as well as tangs to the drivers
I'm sure plenty of people would see this video as strange, but these older trains are so cool, and you present in a quirky but very good way.
There are some great drivers at present Francis, Gunny is a legend as is The Boff! There is a video of the Boff in the cab super thrashing a class 56 with mega clag that makes the hairs stand up on my arms when i hear it, reminds me of the old Valenta HST's days when they would pull out from Newcastle Central
What a really nice young guy you are. I love to watch your passion you have for trains.
Great to see you back on TH-cam!
Chris Guntrip is a thrash merchant. He instructed me on a driver experience day on his 37109 at the East Lancs, what a day that was !
I can Imagine 😊
He owns 37109😊
Absolutely lovely this! A proper fan of great traction without getting all technical! Loved the 66 barrelling through too! First saw 56’s when we went on holiday down near Oxford and they were doing the merry go rounds. Absolutely awesome to see them at 80mph flying past when you’re 8! Thank you Paul
Now I'm not an especially train loving guy, but I am a huge avgeek. I understand the excitement when it comes to machines like this! Very brave and powerful to show your love without care. Love your content.
avgeek 🤝 but i respect train spotters
We love trains, and you, sir, just put a smile on my face .
Awesome video!
thanks to Francis I stopt being ashamed of my passion for train. I am really happy with that
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing I share the great interest in railways , keep us updated Francis !
Your genuine happiness always brings me such goodness. Thank you for sharing something you love with the world 🤍✨
My Mate put me on to your channel.
All I can say is that there can't be anyone with as much enthusiasm and passion about locomotives and trainspotting that you have.
Absolutely brilliant fella.
And I've just subscribed to your channel.
hes so adorable
wonderful to see you enjoying the railways francis. i was a spotter based in chesterfield as a school kid in the early 70s and loved it. still find railways interesting to this day. you make really good videos and i enjoy watching them.
Tremendous to see such genuine happiness and joy
I love your laugh Francis and your enthusiasm.
I hope you never loose your joy of life and never grow up just because it's the done thing.
two old school grids screaming away they remind me of the original paxman valenta engined class 43 inter City 125's good video as always 👏 👌 👍
Love how much of a smile you have on your face everyday ❤
I adore you and you’re enthusiasm!!!
"It should really build up some of that turbo scream that we all love." Yes, we do! And yes it did! When I was in the army I loved listening to the tanks spin up their engines. That turbine whine is exilerating. Same thing with the helos where I work now.
I Love your enthusiasm, Francis.
More of these longer videos please!
What a lovely chap..!!!👍
Awesome passion! Greetings from a model car collector. I grew up with a Hornby train set with home made country & town scenery - fond memories. My passion currently is a rather large model car collection.
A great machine those 56’s such power and character
love it, great job!
Hi Francis.. My dad/mom used to take me to Dawlish every year when I was very young with my brothers... Dad used to tell me what class of locomotives that went past in the late 60s early 70s as he loved trains.. I used to hear the sound of the class 52 Westerns which I still love today.. In Fact I saw you on Friday at Bewdley at the SVR Spring Diesel Festival to.. I was going to talk to you but you were with a few friends..Love your videos 💞
Great stuff Francis. You were kind enough to let my friend and I have a photo taken with you at Kidderminster the other day so thanks for that. Really liked this video!
Was nice meeting you today at Rugby. Shame I missed those 50's 😭 Now subscribed to your channel so will be watching your videos more now
1:26 ooh a A380! I never knew francis was a bit into aviation!
Your Brilliant Francis keep these videos coming your doing a fantastic job.
Hey man just seen you on the bbc news app. Good for you dude! keep it up and keep doing what you love ❤
Thanks mate. Used to live in New Malden. Now in NZ. Great to watch
Love the earring! These videos are so fun and informative
Great video Francis I agree the sound of the class 56 sounds awesome especially on full power the only other locomotives that can match them for impressive sounds in my humble opinion is the class 37,s and deltics 😊
Love your jumper, love 56's too!
Just saw the Lego advert... "and for the next course, the coal section"...
Subtley suggesting to the girl, to her obvious delight, an evening of 'shoveling the coal'.
Absolute legend!!
They are a great sounding bit of kit
Bloody brilliant sound 😊😊😊
Your vids always cheer me up.
Francis the Driver of the 56's also spends his time in the North West at the East Lancashire Railway and he was my Driver instructor the day I drove a class 35 Hymek , great guy..keep up the good work
Convivial fun as ever, God bless.
Absolutely brilliant video Francis 👍🏻👍🏻 from a retired driver 👍🏻

Great video mate. I love the sound of those Class 56's. I have a model of 56091 from Cavalex Models coming to me. Here is a like from me buddy.
Listen to that what a beast 👍👍👍
Is beautiful sound
My new favourite channel after finding you from Jame O'brien. Let me add and a bit of an odd observation, You do have very good bone structure, you have the look of a Male Fashion model, Vogue etc.Sorry if thats a bit off the wall but you've got the look.Anyway just something you could look at.Cheers.Paul .London (Just so you can credit me if it works)
Nice video
Noce video 👍
Saw you at Waterloo today!
He’s loco for locomotives!
Good on ya matey
THRASHING ❤
56s the gutsiest ever locomotives
56s do sound amazing but there is an aliasing problem with the audio causing a lot of burbling distortion.
I love going to see trains. Since I was a kid I just liked trains from the get go. But as I grew older I kind of lost interest in them but now due my gf and yourself. I’m fully back into them
I Like trains
Please tell me that these rail companies have given you a ride in the cab of one these trains because you deserve it on enthusiasm alone!!!
have fun
You must go to the Netherlands and see the steam trains in my country!👍❤️
