@@DavidPhilp-l3o Yes. I was just joking. The US RRs do the same for their vintage steam engines. They have funny looking caboose or two. I guess in Britain, they call dem 'Brake Vans'? These funnies sure promote confidence in steam power!
Unfortunately a couple tour operators in the UK have a diesel at the back to provide assistance to the steam loco if needed and also to help out with turning moves etc. It's quite a shame but still good we've got some steam running on the mainline!
@@WestCountrySteamVideosjust to add to that it is also incase the steam engine fails, not only on steam but also on diesel tours they have a backup diesel incase of it, because otherwise it will delay other normal operating trains, therefore getting a FAT fine. This isn’t always the case but I have heard about this of many of people
The diesel is often required to provide electrical power for carriages with electric heating and for catering carriages that have electrically powered galley equipment.

no american locomotives :( good video either way.
Very true ❤😊
These are all filmed in the UK, that's why there are no American locomotives.
well yea...@@tamlamotownmagic2646
Thank you! Unfortunately I'm from the UK so all my footage is from there, apologies, Tom
We actually have a few American locomotives in the UK to be honest, we have a few S160s and S100s
What country are these trains in?🤔
Counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol England UK
This was filmed in the UK :)
Uk
Why do most of them have a locomotive attached to the back? It ruins the look
