      Actually, if you do the math on a higher power locomotive like this one, it is as powerful as the current fleet of diesels. Keep in mind, that trains that were pulled to very high speeds by one Steam locomotive, are now pulled by many diesels. I saw somewhere that this steam locomotive is somewhere around 10K horsepower. The big boys in the US UP fleet were also very high horsepower, and they were used in the early diesel days to help the trains to get over big passes where the diesels were just not powerful enough.

    I'm french and I have known steam machines when I was young boy.
    We lived in suburb of Paris and sometimes,for her shop, my Grand Mother bring me to Paris to buy merchandises .We arrived at the great station named St Lazare.There were many steam machines but also all these of the electrified railroad network.It was in the mid sixties and juste before the seventies.
    In that moment when I write these lines ,I'm also reading a book writen by Clive Lamming ,a notorious specialist of the topic.Title is : British trains and railroad networks from tradition to modernity (1901-2000)!!!!Published in french by Atlas editions several years before.
    So I want to congratulate the author of this video such his work is perfect.Pictures,variety of steam machines,only the sound of these beautiful trains in stations ,counties , night and day.
    It is merely extraordinary to see the same machines I discover in my book ,but this time in live .
    From dream generates by pictures to reality nowadays!!!
    And we have also all the descriptions of the trains , names and types of machines.Very very respectable work.
    A great documentary on the British legends of the era of steam machines : Mallard,Bulleid,Flying Scotsman ,City of Truro and so much etc etc...
    For me these machines have a soul.At a moment we can see a steam machine and after, a recent train issue of modern technology.In the first case soul of man is speaking to us, in the second case, as modern cars :zero interest ,robotic work , no name ,no dream , no magical feeling.
    As for us with the TGV : a train to bring people from "A" point to "X" point, but not to travel ,to visit country , to spend our time to take time....
    A triple hurrah to the British engineers who conceived these extraordinaries machines :
    William Dean for his "City of Truro" the first to reach the barrier of 100mph,
    George Jackson Churchward young engeineer implicated in Great Western Railway realisations,
    Nigel Gresley for his K, A1, A4,
    Herbert William Garratt who saved the Beyer-Peacock Company,
    Chief mechanical engineer C.B.Collett,
    William Stanier
    And so and so .
    Thank you so much to give the possibility to see these historical legends of the British railway steam machines!!

    Wunderschön diese Dampfgiganten in voller Kraftenfaltung zu sehen. Das war noch Kunst in der Technik ! Wie farblos sind dagegen jetzt die Elektroloks ? Es war so schön aber es kommt nie wieder. Wenn wir, in meiner Kindheit, im Sommer,. nachTirol auf Urlaub fuhren, ging mein Vater mit mir immer vor die Lok anschauen. Da stand sie da, die mächtige, schwarze Schnellzugslok mit ihren, über 2 Meter hohen, schlanken Rädern. Zischend und fauchend wie ein Tieger vor dem Sprung. Dieses Bild von Macht, Größe und dabei filigraner Eleganz, bleibt mir, bis heute im Gedächtnis haften. Es war wunderschön und hatte noch Stil, aber es kommt nie mehr wieder. Wir müssen Britannien danken, daß es scheinbar, noch so lange, den Dampfbetrieb einsetzt und behütet.

    This is one of the things I love most about steam engines; they've all got their own personalities. The sound of their wheels and pistons whirring along the rails, their whistles, you'd have to look hard to try and find two engines that sound so similar, and even then, there's bound to be a few small differences. We should seriously bring steam back into regular service around the world. Bring back the railroads!

    Thank God there were people with cameras and foresight who recorded them in full flight. The main 'Con Rod' which ties the wheels together took 8 men to lift it onto the wheels and to see it flying round as if it were made of balsa wood gives some idea of the massive strength of these machines. my sincere thanks to you guys with cameras and brains enough to know how to use them. this display of strength and speed makes 'Jurassic Park' look like childsplay.

      I am of that generation (born 1942). You actually got used to steam trains so that if the engine was commonplace (e.g. a Black 5) it all became a bit boring, believe it or not. Knowing what the real thing was like has given me a subversive attitude towards engine cleanliness. All very well express engines looking shiny and spruce but when you see a routine mixed-traffic loco (a Hall, say) done up to the nines it just looks unreal. Halls should be at least grubby otherwise they look like brickies at a wedding. Apologies to all brickies, skilled people.

    There's something so awesome about being able to see what drives a steam train forward as opposed to not seeing it in an electric/diesel train. I mean seriously the steam, and all that visible machinery moving, there's just something amazing about it. It's as if you can see the human effort and ingenuity that went into it all right there before your eyes.
    Love these things.

      +Ponysynth One Official That's actually 4464 Bittern, functionally and cosmetically identical to Mallard, but Mallard is apparently too prestigious and famous to run, so she's been on static display for a while now, which I find a little odd as 4472 Flying Scotsman has just returned to mainline service and is one of the most famous steam locomotives in existence. Ah well, Bittern is still a fabulous locomotive.

    What some lovely images and footage! I've always loved steam trains for the variety and colour of the engines, that plaintive whistling noise, the roar of the wheels on the rails, the smell of the steam and engine oil in the station as they pass and the feeling of watching Victorian/20th century engineering that still exudes so much power as they pound out the miles to their destination. Thank you for sharing these, this video has definitely put me in the mood for a trip on the Severn Valley steam railway soon!

    Magnificent compilation. Thank you for taking the effort and time to post them up. I'm of an age when I saw most of those at speed when in British Rail daily service. 70013 Oliver Cromwell especially poignant. 1951, standing on Stratford Station in East London following my parents divorce hearing in the nearby court, I saw out bound from Liverpool Street the East Anglian Express. Flashed through the Station very fast but not fast enough I could not read the nameplate on the Smoke Deflectors. Vivid memory for obvious reasons and sewed the seeds of a lifetime's interest in transport. With flashing golden con-rods, 70013 looked brand new that day. Later, I discovered it had left the works where it was newly built not long before I saw it.

In my spotting days these passes would’ve been deafening with the clickerty clack of wheels on rail joints and loose fishplates making up the other 50% of enjoyment! Today’s spotters are missing out for sure!!
