I was on a tour of Crewe works in August 1961 and in the paint shop I saw a gleaming, newly-painted Scot, 'British Legion', having the tender transfer applied. This engine was the rebuild of the high pressure 'Fury'.
The locomotive slung under the crane is either a NZGR J / Ja class depending whether pre or post war. Chances are that the other locos in shot are J class. Great video
120 railway companies into four plus the Liverpool Overhead Railway, the Mersey Railway, London Underground Electric Railways, the Metropolitan Railway, the Midland and Great Northern, the Cheshire Lines Committee, the Somerst and Dorset Joint Railway, and all those railways built under the Light Railways Act of 1896 (although some lines did join voluntarily).
I’ve got a book on Fury. It was a fairly interesting read, and told me a lot about the engine and its issues. Unfortunate that it ended up killing someone, and that its technology was not fully refined.
One nit to pick in an otherwise good video - I've never heard of high pressure steam referred to as "superpower steam". I know the Wikipedia page for Fury makes that claim but without a reference and the actual page for superpower steam contradicts it. (Basically, it was a Lima Locomotive Works marketing term.)
it's not american but a New Zealand J or Ja class being built at the North British locomotive works in Glasgow, which is mentioned at that point in the narration. Likely the picture is being used as an example of the North British works

Brilliant video, thank you.

Best history of "Fury" I have heard or read about.
I've been interested in the 'Fury' recently and suddenly this is released, how odd. But great for me.

Should have called it Christine after attacking the crew like that. Sounds like a Stephen King novel.
Wow, 130 separate rail companies became just one of the big four? Hard to imagine how such a physically small country could have so many.

At 2 40 why is there a picture of an American locomotive

Why American images intro ?
Might I ask, is this AI narration?
Technical gibberish, not impressed !
