Do you remember me Flying Scotsman? Do you remember being on Shirebrook Railway Station in the 1960's? There you were, all alone, on the station without a crew. Just me, a young boy, and you. I looked on your footplate from the platform, I reached up and touched your name plate. Do you remember Flying Scotsman? I remember you. I have not forgotten.
I rode this wonderful train on many occasions as a child while my father was at sea.Mum,my two brothers and I caught her at Plymouth Station and got off in Birmingham.Then went to visit my Grandparents in the holidays..Then back again.It was so exciting and she was like an old friend…Being pulled by these engines was a magical experience on all your experiences.Sight ,sound ,smell and most of all pure magic.You always felt like you were special and honoured to ride with her.She looks as beautiful on here as she did up close when I used to see her.Because the journey was of course started and finished with a trip to see her.Very happy memories of times and loved ones no longer with me.So glad she has been restored 🥰
I rode on this train when it toured the United states in the 70's and stopped in Chicago. I was six or seven yeas old. it is great to see it back in action after the rebuild. I have several pictures of me sitting in the cab and on the front. Some day, I will ride this train again.
Pacific Power !!! Pah !!! No good if you don't have traction . From a GWR fan , lovely to see the teak set behind the Scotsman . Excellent filming , thank for sharing .
Lol definitely not the best. Most famous yes, best defently not the best one. That honor probably currently goes to Clan line as far as mainline steam is concerned.
Great footage..... thank you, so much for uploading. I went to Trimpley Reservoir pedestrian crossing on Thurs. 22nd and took a video, right on the track. Then again to Kiddy station today for some stills. She really is magnificent. God bless and many thanks to all those that spent hours restoring her.... you did a brilliant job!
I saw her at Kidderminster yesterday. A magnificent sight! Pity they didn't pair her with the maroon MK1 set. That way, they could have re-created a typical ECML express circa 1962. Still, great to see her back in action. You can't beat Flying Scotsman!
I have to say that the Gresley set, to me, is the jewel in the crown of the SVR, even more than the locos... And the GNR composite is my favourite item of rolling stock in the country (save the NER Dynamometer Car at York!).
You mean the king of steam in all his glory. He is indeed a handsome locomotive and remember, it may not be officially so, and I say that it should, the name Scotsman honours his founder, Sir Nigel Gresley, who was indeed a Scottish man.
Except it doesn't. The name "flying scotsman" was the name of the service between London and Edinburgh and after the first A1 was completed "great northern" it was renamed flying scotsman as a publicity stunt and the name stuck.
Thanks mate and also the weather to be suitable but looking at it at the moment rain for some part of the day on Monday but lets hope for the best. Richard
@@vincentmusic09 god, shut up, they were designed way before br took over and were always terrible. All they were kind of good for was shunting at South ampton docks and even then not as good as the S100 (USA tank engines)
She was paired with an auxiliary water tender for her initial preservation under Alan Pegler. She lost it after it returned to Liverpool from the US as it was sold to Jeremy Hosking for use with his A4 'Bittern'.
@@SSudric No...it was added when pegler decided to recreate the non-stop run from London to Edinburgh as BR had gotten rid of most of the water troughs so there was no way for her to fill up on the run. And also turned out to be useful when she went to the US as the water stops / stations were further apart than in the UK.
It was the name given to the train that went from London to Edinburgh and since it was an express often travelling at high speeds it was named the flying scotsman
The second tender was added in the 70s when pegler decided to recreate the non-stop run from London to Edinburgh as BR had gotten rid of most of the water troughs so there was no way for her to fill up on the run. And also turned out to be useful when she went to the US as the water stops / stations were further apart than in the UK. But after that it was sold to be used with A4 "Bittern", or might have been "Dominion of South Africa". Cant remember exactly...but an A4 nonetheless lol.
The Queen of steam in all her glory ,,God Bless everyone who has kept this wonderful piece of British engineering alive ,,,
Can't disagree with that Sue ! Thanks for watching.
No , Thank YOU ,,,,love your content 👍👍
saw the real thing yesterday
Peter Martin Lucky lucky you ..... I am GREEN with envy ☹️🤦🏻♀️
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done to the SVR for matching a whole set of LNER Teak coaches to Scotsman, and great coverage from the both of you Liam....Bob
Cheers Bob. Scotsman on the Teaks was my main reason for going. The rest of the event is a definite no no for me !

MrMoggyman damn man
That is deep love.
that sums up what enjoying locomotives as a kid is all about. absolutely sound!!!
Yeah dude, I remember ya
This brought tears to my eyes

I like this train a lot.
A really lot
Spectacular steam shots, the Scotsman is beautiful and this footage is really well done!
Totally awesome! Would love to travel with her someday!
One day if I go to England I want to ride this beauty

Flying Scotsman with the teek coach’s feels so right fells like we went back in time to 1936
I love this train.
It's good to go back in time and see these amazing creations.
Pacific Power !!! Pah !!! No good if you don't have traction . From a GWR fan , lovely to see the teak set behind the Scotsman . Excellent filming , thank for sharing .
Thanks very much. Not a massive fan of big Pacific's on branchlines, but you can't knock how well the Scotsman on the Teaks looked !
Flying Scotsman is by far the best Steam Locomotive, it's my favourite
Lol definitely not the best. Most famous yes, best defently not the best one. That honor probably currently goes to Clan line as far as mainline steam is concerned.
The king have returned in his former glory
As an American, with an interest in Brit railways, I am happy to see her at steam.
One word.... WOW - Regards, Michael
Royal Scotsman rules the rails! Long live Flying Scotsman!
She moves very gracefully along the rails
I had the pleasure of riding behind the flying scotsman and tornado, September 21 2016, wonderful
the king of steam in all his glory god bless everyone who has kept all this beautiful piece of british engerineering alive please
Oh my god Scotsman and those Gresley teaks looks incredible
Great video mate keep it up
Cheers mate, it was a great pairing.
Thank you. I am currently working on an n scale (1/160 scale) version of this beautiful train. Using all teak coaches. Thanks fir the guidance.
Brilliant Shots of Scotsman
Thanks very much.
Capturing her along the whole route is more my style. But what's not to love about Scottie?
Go Flying Scotsman!!! From the US
Great footage..... thank you, so much for uploading. I went to Trimpley Reservoir pedestrian crossing on Thurs. 22nd and took a video, right on the track. Then again to Kiddy station today for some stills. She really is magnificent. God bless and many thanks to all those that spent hours restoring her.... you did a brilliant job!
Thanks very much LettyK ! I Hope you got some good shots.
Marsh Steam Videos™ x
Very good Liam as always...Dave
Enjoyed this video a lot!
Great video!
Flying Scotsman should be King of all Steam Locomotives
Search for Big Boy (USA)
I remember it well great day out tornado and flying scotsman at svr 2016 rode behind both wonderful
I saw her at Kidderminster yesterday. A magnificent sight! Pity they didn't pair her with the maroon MK1 set. That way, they could have re-created a typical ECML express circa 1962. Still, great to see her back in action. You can't beat Flying Scotsman!
Thanks for watching & commenting.
An excellent video of 60103. Looking like post war Britain with the Teaks!
All the best. Cameron
It certainly did Cameron, the teak set is a real gem ! Thanks for the comment.
I have to say that the Gresley set, to me, is the jewel in the crown of the SVR, even more than the locos... And the GNR composite is my favourite item of rolling stock in the country (save the NER Dynamometer Car at York!).
wow love the vid marsh steam videos tm never paid attention but just because it is the flying scotsman I will like it
It was very enjoyable.
Great video, hoping to go up the valley tomorrow, kind regards
Thanks Ramon, hope you had a good trip.
See the 58 minute version
At Putlocker..
Easier to watch it on BBC I player or on TH-cam !

Would it not be nice if once the engine and coaches were allowed to travel up the ECML from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh? Very well shot video.
Would be a great sight, but I would imagine the coaches would need some extensive work to be allowed out on the mainline. Thanks for the comment.
just love those Gresley (?) carriages.
Correct, they're just as valuable as the loco.
The UK needs to preserve it's locomotives.
Coal and Water will never run out..
Not so, North Sea Oil...
Very Nice mate. I'll have my chance on the last day of the event. Richard
Cheers Richard, hopefully the crowds will have died down for you !
Thanks mate and also the weather to be suitable but looking at it at the moment rain for some part of the day on Monday but lets hope for the best. Richard
see you there proberly
A Gresley with teaks, You can't really go wrong with that! :-)
Indeed ! It made for a fine sight.
I threw a rock at Scotsman passing lol
I seen it at the national railway museum at York
im not british but wow! thats astonishing
She's a national treasure over here ! Although an expensive one !
SHES THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS STEAM LOCO AFTER A FEW YEARS IN THE SHOPS SHE FINALLY RUNNING!
Iconic locomotive it’s a shame it not in London northern eastern livery not British railways livery.
Lovely location.😎
she was indeed on her BR green livery
a beautiful train
On the first one it sounded like a subway when it only showed coaches
My favorite Carnival cruise director is named after this train.
When you suffer from seasickness, so you can't sail aboard the Flying Dutchman.
Beautifull train
COOL CHOO CHOO 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
very nice
For the think tank
my fav train
The best locomotive
Definitely not lol
l like flying scotsman
You guys know that E2's were scraped which look and is Thomas's design
R.I.P
They were scrapped because they were awful locomotives
GNR L1 how?
@@gnrl1628 they werent awful. Its because BR sucks
@@vincentmusic09 god, shut up, they were designed way before br took over and were always terrible. All they were kind of good for was shunting at South ampton docks and even then not as good as the S100 (USA tank engines)
Their wheelbases were too long and their water capacity was absolutely awful. Soon as those Yank Tanks came in, things improved.
But I do wish that they would repaint her Apple green and give her back her original smokebox panel
I kinda like BR green but I agree
Omg I love flying Scottman I am building a small version soon
I cant wait to see it in single chimmley form with 4472 on the cabsides and lner on the tender
Do you have a Time Travel machine?
eh that would make her less efficient to todays alan pegler modifs
60103 and dark green?
Yes. That is its BR assigned number and colour because BR doesn't like to have fun
WHAT TIMES IT NOW CHOOO CHOOOO TIME CHOOOOOOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOO
great quality! What lens are you using? the zoom is great and so smooth!
The camcorder is a Panasonic vxf990 with a leica dicomar lens.
I'm a hobby stills photographer but nevertheless noticed how you use that lens to great effect! Thank you for the information!
You're welcome.
When trains vaped,and life was slower.
I went there I was on coach A
Fh4: YESSSS!!!!!
It's producing loads of noise but it doesn't seem to be going that fast.
This is because it's on private railway and the speed limit is 25mph.
Lots of grades so it's working hard. Also the fact that it has a third cylinder means it chuffs a lot more than other locos
All of the coaches on the train are different
is the train wood? and is it compatible with the modern train uses in London?
Yes and absolutely not ! All steam train carriages are made out of wood. These one's only operate at low speeds.
ok thanks
How come it no longer wears its original number?
British Railways
The locomotive lost her original fleetnumber (1472) shortly after construction.
Cos she's in BR livery...and BR renumbered all their locos under a new numbering scheme.
is the flying scotsman still there to this day?
I think it's at the National Railway Museum in York.
Ty
Does it still run today like Scotland to London??
You're thinking of the passenger service 'The Flying Scotsman' this is 'Flying Scotsman' the engine ! Yes, it still does, everyday.
oh nice
I saw the real thing yesterday
where is the second tender?
Not sure, but it is sadly missed ! Wouldn't be much need for one on this railway though.
Ture so he only had it on the old railway he was on since he was far distance form some of the stations
She was paired with an auxiliary water tender for her initial preservation under Alan Pegler. She lost it after it returned to Liverpool from the US as it was sold to Jeremy Hosking for use with his A4 'Bittern'.

@@lorenzosdeadchannel Keep in mind, I sent that 5 years ago haha, I'm more well versed in railway history now.
The train does not fly why is it called the flying Scotsman?
It was the name given to the train that went from London to Edinburgh and since it was an express often travelling at high speeds it was named the flying scotsman
@@lorenzosdeadchannel yes but what funnier is that Thomas video copied the trains username none of the other trains there exist
? aWHOSE GOT A CHOOO CHOOOO TRAIN CHOOOO CHOOOO
she is NO 60103.she is Gordon brothers and she is express trains
but intercity class 91 AND ACELA EXPRESS IS FAST TRAIN
Not A Steam Train
The Acella is not very fast anymore. railways in america arent really useful due to Planes.
I thought it had 2 tenders
It did, but only for extremely long runs
It did for a brief period in the 70s
now being coupled to bittern on her overhaul
Thomas & friends
shut up
Peter Martin How *unnecessary*
@@Thederbyshireref calm down
OMG
Flying Scotsman (Train ).
What would happened if
The flying Scotsman became
The target for the Russian mafia
hmm another steam train is polar express
BUT IS SMOKE YES OR NO
Steam & Smoke !
Marsh Steam Videos™ ok
Marsh Steam Videos™ Other Train Like Union Pacific Big Boy Has Steam This Train Make Smoke Burning Is Not Clean
You Can Have some one like Union Pacific 844
omg 666 likes 。0 。
Forza Horizon 4? Anybody??😂😂
oh my god this train is slow
It's on a private railway which has a 25mph speed limit.
Marsh Steam Videos™ yes
Marsh Steam Videos™ intercity class is fast train
Marsh Steam Videos™ is there passenger in the coach i can not see it
@@noobygamesgame3358 yes there are passengers. Also, you can't compare a steam loco from 1923 to a HST
I though it had two tenders
Only for Extremly long runs for when water towers were really far apart
The second tender was added in the 70s when pegler decided to recreate the non-stop run from London to Edinburgh as BR had gotten rid of most of the water troughs so there was no way for her to fill up on the run. And also turned out to be useful when she went to the US as the water stops / stations were further apart than in the UK. But after that it was sold to be used with A4 "Bittern", or might have been "Dominion of South Africa". Cant remember exactly...but an A4 nonetheless lol.
fast forward to now its being coupled to Bittern on her overhaul
