    14:12 I've energetically wanted to mention that I personally took notice that this video starts with showing a Great Western Railway 5700 class pannier tank engine designed by the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the G W R named Charles Collette in the year of exactly 1929 with an official 0-6-0PT wheel configuration, exactly 2 inside cylinders, a certain precisely measured @ 200 PSI boiler pressure, a specifically measured @ exactly 55.5" drive wheel diameter, and especially a certain approximately 40 MPH top speed as I've specifically read straight from the specifications for the G W R 5700 class pannier tank engines from my Smithsonian train book! Also, apparently for another fact is basically that the design of the famous G W R 5700 class pannier tank engines were obviously the inspiration for Duck the Great Western Railway 5700 class pannier tank engine from the very popularly well-known Thomas & Friends series! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that the very much considerably seen pannier tank engine seen in this video certainly happens to be exactly just 1 of the exact 16 members of the G W R 5700 class pannier tank engines to be preserved WHILE the other 847 members of the class were obviously sentenced to the scrapyard to get cut up into pieces by the horrifyingly horrible faith of the Scrapper's torch! But, hey, it's quite amazingly outstandingly a good thing that a total of exactly 16 members of the class were obviously preserved as 1 of 'em with the official number of 3738 happens to be located directly over @ the Didcot Railway Center along with a certain King class locomotive known as King Edward 2 that was basically also apparently designed by Charles Collette exactly 1 whole year AFTER he designed Duck the Great Western Railway 5700 class pannier tank engine!

      I personally quite amazingly outstandingly easily agree that this locomotive resembles Duck the Great Western Railway 5700 class pannier tank engine from Thomas & Friends seeing that he's basically been introduced in the show's very own complete classic era's entirely well-known 2nd season in the episode titled Duck Takes Charge straight from the official Railway Series book titled Percy the Small Engine written by the famous Rev W Awdry himself with official illustration by C Regenald Dalby himself!
