For those who don't know, Gary is a 4-6-2 LSWR H16 Class Tank Engine. Only 5 of his kind (including himself) were built between November of 1921 and February of 1922. Originally working for the LSWR (London and South Western Railway) and the Southern Railway, these engines were known for their strength, power, and range for hauling goods. To say the least, they can pull 28,200 pounds of force. Unfortunately, all of them were scrapped by 1962.
@@coleselley3745 Kinda like what happened to the PRR T1s. And no, the T1s didn't have wheelslip issues, it's that the K4s that came before them had stupid amounts of adhesive force and far less tractive effort so the engineers were used to being able to set the regulator to maximum and throw the Johnson Bar straight to full forward. When the C&O got to operate a few of these monsters on loan from the PRR, they had no issues with wheelslip.
You know, Gary's a lot like my Broadway Limited N Scale PRR T1. At the club I run at, we often have to run long trains over 3% or even 4% grades during ops. I usually run _multiple_ Bachmann SD45s (for those over in the UK used to Bachmann Branch Line stuff, these are more on-par with Graham Farish in terms of quality) on the iron ore train (28 ore cars weighted to NMRA specs plus a caboose, also kind of a pain if you're not used to handling short-wheelbase rolling stock with truck-mounted couplers) but since my T1 could easily handle our express passenger trains (the Silver Bullet) I got curious and decided to use it to restage the ore hoppers. It managed to solo a train that usually takes three relatively modern 6-axle diesels to pull.
@@matthewwilson5019 I'd say Gary is more on par with Henry, Merlin and Gordon but an engine like Murdoch (or even Geoffrey) can definitely beat him out.
@@kisarabanuja3254 The trouble is that Henry, Merlin and Gordon were all designed for passenger or at best mixed traffic use. Gary is a step up from all of them. Gordon would be better for freight with smaller wheels(more surface area touching). In terms of tractive effort Gary is similar to a 9f although distance would be an issue.
@@primeprover I'll lay out the details. Tractive effort (top 6 most powerful engines in the fleet by tractive effort in the series): Gary (28,200 lbf) - LSWR H16 Gordon (29,835 lbf) - GNR Gresley A1, his driving wheels are the largest out of these (at 6 foot 8 inches) so I don't know what you are trying to prove. Merlin (~30,000 lbf) - LSWR N15 with modifications such as smaller driving wheels (I predict 5 foot 8 inches). Geoffrey (31,325 lbf) - GCR 8K Henry (~33,000 lbf) - three GNR Gresley A1 cylinders (20 x 26 inches) and boiler (180 psi) paired with a GNR C1 cab, firebox and valve gear. I predict his wheels are roughly 6 feet. For reference: Murdoch (39,667 lbf) - BR Standard 9F
16:51 I just love hearing me that tune there. It sounds a lil' wild western ambient to be in a max-brilliant British railway simulation series, but it's good. I like it.
It is nice to see that Gary will enjoy being a banker locomotive from now on which makes Gary very happy and puts him in a better mood. Fan Of Hiro, you have done well and keep up the good work dude.
Plus, you'll be very shockingly surprisingly pleased to happily know that'll basically put his own official strength to good use on the Island of Sodor's North Western Railway's own official gradient known as Gordon's Hill for a long time to come!
I've watched a very small handful of your videos but decided to give this one a full watch. I really enjoyed this story. Gary's dialogue was written well too, and I thought that the solution to his demeanor was very creative. I'll have to go back and give your other episodes a watch
Nice job on this episode, Fan of Hiro, I love your own Thomas the Tank Engine series so much as it looked amazing with these many engines arriving on the North Western Railway.
@@TheSudrianTerrier653 True for _modern_ American freight trains. But American freight trains from the same era that Gary's class is from would be more manageable while still being significantly larger than what was run in the UK.
i can relate to Gary here i'm an adventurous spirit loving the chances i get to explore the world around i enjoy my life but i do find it boring being stuck in routine, so i can understand the H16 class here.
Topham will get more trains than the whole of Russia's by 1946 if your counting that he buys trains every episode and it will increse in ww2 and then holiday makers after that
GOOD QUESTION INDEED! MAYBE HE'LL OFFICIALLY TAKE TURNS ON THE JOB OF BANKING TRAINS UP GORDON'S HILL WITH EDWARD THE BLUE LIVERY-PAINTWORK CARRYING THE OFFICIAL WELL-KNOWN #2 FURNESS RAILWAY K 2 CLASS 4-4-O STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY TENDER LOCOMOTIVE EVERY SINGLE ONCE-IN-AWHILE SINCE THEY'RE ACTUALLY BOTH OFFICIALLY WORKING TOGETHER ON THE BRANCH LINE THAT RUNS FROM WELLSWORTH TO BRENDAM DOCKS!
It may be a while before this one comes out. Hiro’s class (The JNR D51 from Japan) started production in 1936, so it may be a few more. This is also why we likely haven’t had an episode for Peter yet, as his class (LMS 8F) first was made in 1935
I believe the H16's were built for the heavily loaded London frieght and short trip workings and were also meant to work with the G16's which were meant to heavy shunting at feltham green marshalling yard yard
You know who Gary reminds me of? Saitama of One Punch Man. Becoming so damn strong that nothing is a challenge to you and you just become EMPTY on the inside. No excitement whatsoever, just bored.
Gary has got to be the most machine-like engine I have ever seen! He's basically a Terminator for the huge majority of the episode! 😆

Awesome, Thanks.
What a shame on how they were all scrapped. I hate seeing how the most capable engines with no faults were simply scrapped
@@coleselley3745change in times sadly BR didnt think money they could make running special “steam tour” services at the time

Why did you have to say the “scrapping” bit
Topham will have more trains then diabetes medicine at this rate
That is probably true in most dimensions
Lol 😂
It is stated that the NWR has around 80 engines by Awdry, so I can dig it
@@connormclernon26 80?
Dear Lord
would make sense. A 60 mile long mainline with at least 6 major branch lines that add up the mileage, it would require a lot to run the railway

As much as this is probably a bad idea I wanna see this guy challenge Murdoch to a strength competition
Yeah, even though Murdoch will easily defeat him, considering how strong the 9F Class is.
thats no compentition at all, Merdoch would clearly win very easily. even Henery and Gorden could beat gary

The pure shock Colin had when Gary could pull two trains was funny

My word, an engine who's personality reflects mine on a day-to-day basis lol.
Imagine seeing this lone tank engine pulling that many trucks down the line towards the big station
Another great episode. You’re Writing is amazing
2 more days i can’t wait
This Gary guy looks very angry but is formal
Amazing job FOH, I was wondering who would take the place of Banker on Gordon's Hill.
i cannot wait!
1:15 I like the hymn used for background music.
I've been waiting for him🎉🎉🎉
This guy should pull an American freight train. He’d have a blast since they’re longer and heavier than British freight trains
That’d be far too much, American trains have to usually be handled by 2-4 diesels, which one of those diesels alone far exceeds his power
@@TheSudrianTerrier653
True for _modern_ American freight trains. But American freight trains from the same era that Gary's class is from would be more manageable while still being significantly larger than what was run in the UK.
He push. He pull. But most of all he bank.
The W&S Team is shocked 😲 by how strong Gary is, which is hilarious 😂 😃 😄
Did anyone else think the title was referring to Ben's partner in crime from Tyler's arrival
Remember, the other one or Molly was introduced noticed one of them wasn’t picked at some point that one would be picked eventually
I didn’t know he was chill like that
Seams he got an upgrade face wise
i can relate to Gary here i'm an adventurous spirit loving the chances i get to explore the world around i enjoy my life but i do find it boring being stuck in routine, so i can understand the H16 class here.
also like the Southern Railways Z class 0-8-0 tank engines their are very rare class, and Gary's class only had five members.
This engine is a lot like me in personality.
Gary is just a heavy i mean liteary a heavy beast
Who would win In strength alone heavy from tf2 or Gary
I love how both Gary and Wilson, the most recent additions, have mental issues
Gary, the banker
I seriously know, huh?
I hope so because that be cool to see every type of steam engine on the railway same goes for desial
You know, for an engine or tank engine of his size. he seems like a pretty calm chap
Topham will get more trains than the whole of Russia's by 1946 if your counting that he buys trains every episode and it will increse in ww2 and then holiday makers after that
Broo gary is on something for real for real
12:50 2 sir topam hats look very closely in the back
Woo
alright we got another engine that we have no clue what he is..
as long that he's welsh I'm fine. (but it's from the southern so fat chance.)
People see engine and think: damn that’s a strong engine. Gary: eh ok.
I wonder if Gary would know Richard (one of Carson Marenka's characters) as well as Melissa, Chris, Mark, Olivia, Gladstone, Stepney and Kelsey?
U forgot Darwin and that H1 that was never named
@@aplane9625 and Hayden the E2
Clever Topham
i wanna see a future episode were gary banks trains up the lickey incline
Question: is banking trains over Gordon's hill is one of his jobs

Although, however, we'll seriously have no complete choice except to wait to see!
12:51 i just noticed the two other tophams in the background
4:55 that looks kinda like lofty behind topham there
I wonder who's next and if we're near the forties then maybe a new character is in order
When are you going to be having Gordon have his rebuilt and Henry’s Overhaul???
For those asking Gary seems to be a Southern Railway H16 tank engine
He is.
Dear lord trucks behind his coaches
Who noticed two fat controllers in the background of 12:49
I saw itt, couldn’t they be sir lowham hatt or sir topham actually was a triplets siblingg?
yes les go
Hey Thomas's cousin.

I can just see Gary as a metalhead
Gary the steam engine 2.0
Finally the goods engine for the Brendan branch but why is his face different
I don't know. His face in my opinion looks like Geoffrey's
So Gary is a Baltic tank engine
@@GavinMarioGanahsen-zn1uh no he is a Pacific tank
There are several large tank engines

The Baltics like the FR 115s

Are you going to do Mickey or Joey next? It would be interesting to see law enforcement and fire safety involved in the story
We did see Joey in the newspaper article apprehending Carlin the P1
@@aplane9625 Right? Maybe a reference for a future episode?
Gary
This could lead up very well to Edward retiring from banking and Gary becoming banker
Maybe the next engine should be a new express engine for the wildnorwester
Will there be a season finale for this series or u just keep adding new engines until u out of ideas
He's probably going to do this till the 21st century
Oh so just just keep going until then
WE'RE SERIOUSLY GONNA HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLETE CHOICE WHATSOEVER 'BOUT IT EXCEPT TO WAIT TO FIND OUT!
Bro Gary is just chef rush but the train version
Can the next one be about Peter the 8f please
question what root is the brendom?
(sorry for any bad spelings)
Brendam Docks itself is from The sudrian Community, while the rest of the branch is from Sodor Island 3D
Where is the Scottish engine going to be by?
Whatever could you mean? Are you talking about Tyler, Donald and Douglas? They were already introduced in FOH's series in former videos
What is Gary's basis? A LSWR H16?
Yeah
What class is Gary and what were they intended to do?
I like to believe that Gary is based on LSWR H16 Class.
I believe the H16's were built for the heavily loaded London frieght and short trip workings and were also meant to work with the G16's which were meant to heavy shunting at feltham green marshalling yard yard
Hey are those was models from the pact or the website

Heh Gary is stronger than new shape Henry
what is gary's locomotive type
Do boco or Derek but your video s are great 👍🏻
I was going to be hoping Gary was just going to be the meh guy I guess not
hi
I like your series but why do all of these engines arrive so early??
Like Donald and Douglas arriving 26 years earlier and Duck coming 22 years earlier?
