Thank you for covering one of my favourite diesels... I really hope the LMS 10000 Project pulls through. It's really important history that needs to be commonplace. It's currently obscure history...
The EE engines these were fitted with, the 16 SVT of 1600 hp, evolved to become, 20 years later, the 16 CSVT of 2700 hp fitted to the Class 50's. That's pedigree.
I find it unusual that the BR class 37s only made 1750 horsepower, as that’s how much an American GP9 road switcher makes. That seems a bit underpowered.
Where is the headlamp (if there is one) on 10000 and 10001? Is it a like a separately installed removable lamp like on steam locos or am I just not seeing it? (I'm definitely not an expert on UK equipment), just wondering.
Like steam engines, the lamps have to be put on the lamp irons. Again, proving the D16/1s were very much built with old practices in mind. DP1, however, did have two headlights at either end, just above the buffers.
I'm tempted to say the /1's because they proved immediate flexibility. One could match the power of a Black 5, while two could (more or less) match the power of a Pacific without an extra crew. The /2 could closer match a Pacific on its own, but with a much poorer Power/Weight ratio, which carried over to the mediocre Class 40's (and I think the Peaks too by proxy). Never quite understood why the UK seemed to be so adverse to multiple-unit running and I'm still not. Though the rushed dieselization explains it quite a bit more
In the end, I decided to base one of my Thomas & Friends OC’s based off the BR class d16/1 diesels. In real life, there is only 10000 and 10001, but in my Head Cannon, there is a 10002, and that diesel is my OC. His name is Zane.
That class 66 at 0:19 is a European one, is that your own photo? If yes, do you live in Europe? (that NS 500 too, suggests to me you live in the Netherlands?) Great video on one of my favourite LMS designs!
@@FlyingScott good point, getting confused with the whole thing of UK and mainland Europe 😂 I live in the Netherlands too! Funny how one can find other people with the same non-Dutch interests 😅
I find your accent fascinating it sounds like a mixture of Scottish and Welsh but from one of your comments it turns out your Dutch which doesn't clear up the accent much, but I digress.
Over the years my accent watered down to the point I had to force a Received Pronounciation dialect in high school. It never really recovered, I suppose. I still get the occasional person who thinks I'm Irish, Welsh is a new one, but I'm used to it. Thanks for watching!

It didn't actually end there. The final evolution of the EE V16 was the Ruston-Paxman 16RK3CT used in the Class 56.
One of the benefits of asbestos is that it helps to or against rust. Many useful things can be harmful and that list includes water.
And the most corrosive element in the universe, oxygen.
I look forward to seeing replica 10000 once it’s finished.
A replica 10000 is being made?
Bonus points for using Chris Sawyer's Locomotion OST in the background
LMS was once the largest joint stock company in the British Empire - no mean business!
I know about the engines existence I never knew that much about it thank you for making the video
I never knew until bachmann made a model of 10000
As for those who say the black fives are the best locomotive ever built I respect you
Does that mean you happen to respect a certain black 5 too
@@mistermadmachine6311 yes I do It makes sense if you read my user name
😊👍
Probably a bit late might I suggest the 060 "jinty"
Do you want help still with your Victorian railways R class

It seems intellectually dishonest to compare the loads an American locomotive has to haul to the ones a British loco has to haul.
😱their making a 10000 replica

@@FlyingScott interesting, thanks for the info
You made a common error - it's Sir William or Sir William Stanier and never Sir Stanier
And right you are- I was wondering why the sentence didn't roll off the tongue neatly. Thanks for pointing it out!
Which is Better:
BR class d16/1’s?
or
BR class d16/2’s?
Who cares?

Technically the UK is still part of Europe, whatever Boris says.
But yes, I live in the Netherlands.
