they didn't build a replica of an A1, they built the next in it's class, they revived the legacy of these engines, it's so inspiring about the story they went through to bring Tornado to life.
It’s been 12 years since I’ve watched this video and bloody hell I’m still impressed and how they took something of a small idea made in a pub turned into reality it’s, a beautiful locomotive and I’m glad everything went without a hitch.
Ah, Tornado, the locomotive that forever changed the concept of, "It'll never get built." After she steamed, all bets were forever off in regard to what was possible!
I got to see her in Walton on the Naze on the 12th August, and then found a recommendation on youtube to this video and part 1. I am absolutely amazed. All the effort, and money, the teamwork, it was worth it. Tornado is beautiful, amazing engine and a memory to the last A1s. Congrats to all the team and efforts to build her.
I thank everyone who contributed to build a steam engine. Whatever new diesel and electric ligomotives come, they can't beat the steam locomotive in majestic look and it's sounds. The Biston moves front and back and the connecting rods movements are so atractive. During our childhood days every one play train game by holding our hands at the waist level moving Our hands front and back like steam engine piston rod. It was a marvelous experience of those days. Accordingly we should give us a chance to the younger generation to know about the steam engines and share our experiences with them . I thank every engineers who take efforts to build it precisely inch by inch with utmost care. I am pleased very much to see this video.
I love how silent the loco is on the over-run (steam off - shortly after 10:55) since the bearings are new. None of the clanking of the motions as on heritage locos.
Very impressed with David Elliott, Director of Engineering for the project. Good to know we still have some good rail engineers in the UK after BR was broken up. I was particularly impressed at the decision to rotate the wheels by hand while jacked up to check for tight spots. `David is responsible for the project’s engineering strategy and implementation. He is a professional engineer, ex-BR Graduate Engineer in traction and rolling stock. After a number of years in commercial and managerial positions in the aerospace industry, and subsequently as a project manager in the railway signalling industry, he is now an independent consulting engineer retained by the Trust' 0:40 0.59
HI JUST NOW FOUND THIS VID! ENJOYED TO EXTREME! IT IS EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED IN NEW STEAM, AND I MYSELF AM HOPING TO BE AROUND FOR THE FIRST RUN OF THE PENNSYLVANIA T-1 PROJECT! BUT I WAS PRIVILEGED TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER NEW STEAM PROJECT, THE JS 8419 ARRIVAL AT BOONE IOWA! I WAS A PART OF THE INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE TEAM! IT WAS A TRULY FASCINATING LOOK INTO THE MINDS OF THE CHINESE DESIGNERS! BUT BY FAR THE BEST PART WAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE 5 FACTORY TECHNICIANS WHO CAME OVER FROM THE DATONG FACTORY! DUE TO THE FACT THE LOCOMOTIVE SUSTAINED SOME DAMAGE DUE TO THE UNLOADING ACCIDENT AT LOS ANGELES HARBOR, THERE WAS A GREAT CONCERN OF THE IMMEDIATE DAMAGE AND FUTURE PROBLEMS ! HAPPILY THERE WAS LITTLE MORE THAN COSMETIC DAMAGE! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!👍👍
while all countries have discarded or are discarding steam locos UK builds a brand new main line steam loco and commissions it in 2009. It has to be a logical wise decision
Cyrus Loves India Its a private venture not government backed. In the UK steam holds a significant following and millions of people are happy to pay to see it alive and well.
Cecil Rhodes (Rhodesia) said. "Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life". I think it fair though for me to include the Isle of Man. I'm only joking - Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, The Falklands, Gibraltar, etc. Mind you 'mad dogs and Englishmen' sort of fits. What a wonderfully mad British thing to do.
Now build a nuclear heat source to replace the coal and use a kevlar composite matrix boiler capable of extreme pressure and sealed bearings rollers to remove oiling every wheel...and we might see 200mph.
I went on a heritage tour in Queensland Australia in 2016 , the guard was telling me about the time a tour went wrong when the steam locomotive suddenly slowed down, the driver and fireman weren't paying attention, the water level dropped to around 35% it should be no lower than 50% so lucky it didn't explode. I see why they are concerned
They do go bang lol. The top of the firebox is copper. It needs water on top it to cool it. A good fire will weaken copper and the whole pressure in the boiler exits out the chimney and the firebox. It's a killer. In BA days allowing the water to fall below the crown was a sackable offence for good reason.
Christian Holbert if you what to build the Hudson than you go for it people like me have always wondered hey when are they going to build a new Hudson? If you what to do that think of all the kids reaction if you what to do this than my Gosh you do it bro lol =)
the steamers are beloved, but they are labor intensive, not to mention the last generation that knew how to build and run them is very old, you would be starting almost from scratch, and used maninly for excursions, even though they have just as much power as electro locos of today, they cost more then you could imagine , but as a love and if you have the time knowing this already go for it.
@@manga12 Agreed but I was referring to single acting steam locos like the one in the video, not compound. I hadn't heard of Livio Dante Porta, he was an excellent engineer, by all accounts.
@@Martindyna yes he was and also loved to get down into the craft of working on engines as well from the looks of his writings, and was as nice of a person as he was good at engineering, according to gary bensman from diversafied rail, who worked along with him on the american coal enterprises 3000 project under ross rowland many years ago. there is still soo much that can be done to get heat transfer into the water that has not widely been experamented with in the past, like rifled boiler tubes, or multi pass boilers, and the use of an ecconomiser, there were elements that porta suggested and used many things he proposed like in the chinese engines and on the red devil but no engine was scratch built with all the improvements into it nor the somewhat debated cyclonic gas producer firebox arangement, Porta did some experamenting with it and it did have some promise but the firebox size was not optimal with the way they built it but it lowered partical entrapment even more and of course the mixing of the gases was even greater. and unfortunately the tide may have permanately turned on experamental engines or use of carbon based fuels renewable or not at this point the world over, but the beauty of steam is that any fuel that can heat water can be used, they even used electricaly heated engines in the past though not widely, and you still have the concept of the fireless steamers that were super insulated and as steam was used water would flash boil to provide more under the pressure change, you also had compressed air style engines that were used in industrial settings and in suger cane settings at least at first for fear of fire breaking out from a loose cinder, and had some points where they could recharge the air pressure along the way it also saved on having to pay a fireman at least that was the theory. I suppose one could use hydrogen for fuel as well in a steamer or turbine engine if one was so inclined but it could have the effect of hydrogen embrittlment of the metal, though that might be just when its welded, all it would take though is some changing of the burner arrangement and fuel storage if one was so inclined to try
@@manga12 Thanks. You mentioning electrically heated steam boilers reminded me of the Hornby model steam locos they used to (??) make. www.scottpages.net/ReviewOfLiveSteam.html
when you throw coal in a cold boiler its very bad for the boiler. coal burns very hot and to heat up a boiler without pre-warming it with wood or something first will make the metal expand so quickly that cracks will start to form and thus ruining the boiler in a matter of years.
Cheeki Breeki I'm not for a second saying you're wrong, I know nothing, but there was nothing he loved more than that loco, he was so proud of it and with him being an expert in the subject and one of the main people behind it, he wouldn't have done it knowing it'd break it.
Jasper van Loon Keep in mind that the locomotive boiler on Tornado was pretty new at that point. I think it would have been able to handle it just fine. Had it been a Heritage locomotive yeah I could see where that would be bad.
@@FutureRailProductions wether its made by the best professionals in the world 150, 100, 50, years ago or today, its easy to crack most metals with heat alone. As it is easy to crack a glass with boiled water.

Love how you mispelled piston to biston.
These are amazing pieces of machinery. I have been to the Sacramento CA Train Museum a few times. Thanks for sharing.
I am inspired by this group. I am now considering after I finish school to start a foundation to build a GS-3 daylight loco!
My foundation would convert GS-6 4460 into a GS-5
Id join with of you
Well you should approach the T1 group for advice if you really want to. They are quite the way into making a Proper T1 loco.
The British - German connection have made here a masterpiece..
I love Tornado locomotive and I love The Flying Scotsman.
Beautiful! Much respect for all involved in this locomotive's creation.
Much respect to these passion driven people. And who doesn't love steam engine.
I love how silent the loco is on the over-run (steam off - shortly after 10:55) since the bearings are new.
None of the clanking of the motions as on heritage locos.
Runs like a Swiss watch.
Loved it so much I decided to join a locomotive group to rebuild a Claud Hamilton 8783 Called Phoenix

Excellent, she looks much better in green then wearing her primer coat
Never paid much attention to the mechanical genius of locomotives until this video. Respect TORNADO...

i see this tornado loco regular as it passes my house.. got some amazing photographs of it her amazing green livery
Been running mainline service for 10 years now. Boiler ticket just ran out. Amazing really!
As James May would say:
“It works!”
And Jeremy Clarkson would say, "PPOOWWWEERRR!"
@s aa you didnt need to say my username twice you know.
What a fantastic achievement, well done to all concerned.
The smiles of pleasure - and quiet pride - say so very much.........

even then its praiseworthy to note that people respect their rich past heritage......
Indeed. We just cant and wont let steam die. It made us who we are.
Oliver Lewin
there are all but 15 operational steam locos in India compared to hundreds in UK......
Happy New Year to you. Take care!!
And to you mate 👍
saw this while waiting for a train at clapham junction! was quite the surprise...

Чувствую запах пара, СПАСИБО!!!
yep this definatly proves it there is life in steam and IT DOES RULE.
Arthur Peppercorn, the True (and forgotten) Successor of Sir Nigel Gresley.
And done 100mph superb achievement to whole team
The look of those tall steel drivers!
Wonderful!
Remainers should watch this, we have a lot of skill in this country, believe in it!
Now that's a clever idea in breakfast cooking bacon and eggs in tornado's firebox
Steam never gets old. I sense a major cosplay event in Tornados future.
I hope the rebuilt of the LB&SCR H2 would run on heritage trains and revenue traffic!
The narrator's voice sounds like Chris from 44teeth!
The train from Heartbeat.

As it was pushed out of the repair shed .... there wasnt a dry eye in the house.
I want to as well go to collage study this, build a hudson 4-6-4 new you're central replica
You have my support, i'd love to see a Hudson running on the water-level route.
Same here, full support!

When there is will there is a way
the engine that opened the flood gates for newbuild loco's
