How's it going everyone? This is another railway mv (music video). The video today is a song from early days of steam preservation and was written and performed by a former BR (British Railways) Engine Driver during the late days of mainline steam. The name of this man was David Goulder, a person who would find he had a talent for playing guitar and that would become the main instrument in nearly all his songs.
“Ten big wheels to roll her along, just a working girl on the Lickey. Bertha’s the name, in the hall of fame, she was the only one of her kind, first and last of her line.”
"She was Fowler's dream and in first was steam as 1920 dawned, she served her time on the two mile line until the diesel age was born."
she certainly looks beautiful in the pictures
True words have never before been spoken
It a shame that the old girl wasn’t preserved but at least her legacy lives on with her memories truly the first and last of her kind and a wonderful machine
Could always depend on Bertha… sadly, Bertha couldn’t quite depend on us…
probably one of the only songs about trains that i will ever like, and it definitely breathes more life into old bertha
Dave Goulder was a BR fireman he never got to driver due to a eyesight defect
which took him off the footplate and left the railway in 63
Thanks for the info, I'll make sure to do the corrections and add that detail in
how do u know all this?
Because 8213 productions has spent quite a lot of time researching Goulder, am I correct?
@@TSRFilms1014 yes
We miss you bertha
"Bertha, Lovely Bertha. You are a lovely machine!"
She should’ve been preserved honestly :(
She was made from different materials the parts had to be made so she couldn’t run anymore
It's not the material that were the issue, it was the specialised parts such as the cylinders being a unique design that doomed her.
@@TSRFilms1014
Her parts were manufactured and difficult to make not to mention have laying around. She was a very unique engine but lack of those special parts for replacements and her being pushed to her max without any real repairs it was safe to say British rail scrapped her rather then put in the time and effort for making those parts.
@@TSRFilms1014 thanks for that information
@@TSRFilms1014 your great 👍 ❤
Banger
Absolutely
😢 ya me too
😢😭
She will live on in the minds of Railfans who remember her
Its Sad That she got scrapped
Yeah
I agree
Me too
Yes it sad to see a steam locomotives like her to be scrap.😢
It's an inevitable fate for locomotives
Big Bertha should be rebuilt!
As much as I would love to se that happen, the UK heritage scene just isn't ready to pay for a project that complex
@@TSRFilms1014 I would love to see it, but the problem is she would have to be rebuilt from the wheels up! And another problem is the group that would rebuild her would need the blueprints! Who knows if they still exist!
They will still exist, perhaps in the locomotive magazine 1919 edition or in one of the archives for one of the locomotive works of the LMS
@@TSRFilms1014 she would be something to see if she was rebuilt
Absolutely
funny little creature
What do you mean little, she was a colossal engine for her time
Silly big engine
