When I was a child around 8 years old in 1965 in Canada, I received a clockwork train for Christmas. This included a 4 wheeled locomotive painted in Royal Green with black details and yellow pinstriping. It was made completely of painted sheet steel. Very beautiful, as I recall. And it had a large clockwork key. Also a set of track about 1-1/2 inches wide, as I recall. And two coaches, painted green, yellow and black. My sister and I had so much fun with this trainset, giving Barbie and GI-Joe rides on the train. And creating imaginary worlds with plastic cows, pigs and horses at the side of the track :-)
I love the national railway museum. It is such a great place! I have been there quite a few times, I think around 12 times. It never gets old. Great video as always!
Oh just seeing mallard on the turntable inside the shed of the national railway museum gives me goosebumps. She looks so beautiful in that LNER Gresley blue
That photo is pretty cool, its from the A4 reunion, notice the 6 A4s, 2 (dominion of Canada and Dwight D. Eisenhower) are in north america and the other 3 run on the mainline (Bittern, Union of South Africa, and Sir Nigel Gresley), which is something that is never going to happen again. So nice to see them all together, but only Mallard really resides in the museum. Really wish they would run it!
I went in October 2019 and I had my picture with the real Stephensons rocket :) I absolutely love trains and locomotives and have been to railways all around Britain. -Oliver-
The National Railway Museum really is impressive. I loved it the last time I went there, and I love the collection you had running in this video. I'd say the Star Class is probably my favourite of them all. However, I think Lode Star was actually the 4th of her class. No. 4000 North Star actually takes credit for being the first, or at least I think so. Anyway, fantastic video, Sam. Keep it up!
i went to the NRM when i was 7 and apparently blew their minds, giving them every little detail about Mallard and the speed record haha. would love to go again now 7 years on, i don't have many memories of the place
In Book 35 of The Railway Series, some of the NRM members are shown, Mallard, Duchess of Hamilton, Iron Duke, Green Arrow, a replica of The Rocket, and the honorary member NWR No.1 ex - LBSCR E2(x) "Thomas"
Alright, not to put a fine point on it, but in the overhead shots (8:00 - 9:00) where the pub is in view, out back it appears a chap when off for a relief but passed out on his face. Every time I see it I want the bloke put upright. Anyway, another fine video. Great idea mixing in the train museum. G.B. owns train history. And rules with still working steam. Thanks for sharing...
I would bite off my own big toe if it meant i could visit this museum!! I've never seen a steam locomotive in person, let alone such magnificent machines as these ❤
Sam, a super little "sesh" there mate, has to be the beautiful Crimson Lake of the LMS for me, striking colour indeed. Suggestion- how about a double header running session???
Another wonderful running session Same, and thanks to your expert skills, every one of these different locos from different manufacturers running perfectly, and a joy to watch...Regards...Bob
Thanks so much Bob - yeah it's a lot of work keeping everything maintained, but I thoroughly enjoy it, and it's well worth it! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I took my wife there in 2022, she hates the idea of any sort of museum……but ‘low and behold’ she absolutely loved it there….especially the Mallard…..my favourite has got to be The Duchess of Hamilton……
You saying scrapped reminded me. My grandad and his best mate went over to Barry to save 80064 which today runs on the bluebell railway. It was the third engine to leave and be saved. Just thought i would share. Daniel
I love the National Railway Museum, one of my favourite places in the country. Definitely saw a lot of locomotives, definitely a lot more than I have ever seen in my life. There is another LMS Crab in the LMS livery, no. 13065 at the East Lancashire Railway near Manchester and the City Of Birmingham is preserved at a Science Museum in Birmingham somewhere. However, my favourite locomotive is GWR City Class, 3440 City Of Truro. The Rocket Replica was built in 1970 or something.
Hi! Sam, well thanks for a great video. It was really nice to see the different regional trains running. All the beautiful locos all played a great part in the railways history, and it's always great to see them remembered. The nephews are going to love this video, so once again Sam, a very big thank you.
I went to the national railway museum last year, and I got to see my favorite loco of all time, evening star it was absolutely awesome I also saw mallard and all the other a4s and the duchess of Hamilton and the q1
I’m going there for my Birthday, this summer! I have always wanted to go and my parents have finally agreed to take me! Thanks for the great taster, Sam! :)
Always like the Mallard, but from your selection today, the one I like best is the railcar. I will be on a train pulled by a real Merchant Navy class on Sunday, 'Clan Line' for me.
I GOT BITTERN WITH 2 TENDERS, I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it runs super smooth as well, I also got a new dcc controller and some Pullman coaches for my tornado train, and some ocean wagons for the 9f, and some Bachmann tankers, and extra track, and the best is the Harry Potter hogwarts express train set from hornby, it’s awesome, Olten hall is my favorite gwr loco
At the nrm at shildon, they have the oldest running engine in the UK. It is a Furness railway loco of the bury type, it does passenger runs on the track there, I'm going to barrow soon on holiday, the birthplace of Edward, coppernob, and number 20 (the running one).
i am in York and have been to NRM it is great, if you come to York on Mondays there is a guy in the York markets that sells 00 trains and wagons old and almost new ones at great prices , also check out Goji in Goodramgate for a great meal
Call me crazy but I'm thinking of pre-ordering the new streamlined coronation in blue from Hattons, £152 I think it was... Also those coaches are 2's, not 1's. 1's for steam era, 2's for late steam early diesels, 3's for HST and late diesels.
Great video Sam. I've been to the NRM three times I think, and it's definitely worth it! My favourite locomotive would have to be the Star Class, or the GWR railcar.
Great idea, Sam. NRM is a great place to visit. I have been. I could not see everything they had, I could have been there for 2 days. It is also free to get in. Peter Waterman owes a 9F. Great video, Sam. Keep it going, great format.
Great video. It's on my bucket list to see the NRM and to tour York and the midlands. Might have to convince the wife to let me go alone, she is too scared of the plane!
That’s a wonderful collection there mate, I love it there at the National Railway Museum in York, don’t worry about the wrong names and you haven’t got some of them who is at the NRM York if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing buddy cheers ... Josh
Great video been nrm twice however a lot of the Scotsman overhaul/rebuild was carried out by Riley’s at baron street works on the East Lancashire Railway
These locomotives are certainly some of the finest, absolutely beautiful. However there is something I’d like to about when you mentioned Stephenson’s rocket, (I assume you may already know) but in case you didn’t, They are now moving it to the NRM.
Great video Sam! I just love to sit down and relax while watching your running sessions. My favorites in the running session would be the Q1, the Crab, and the Class 55. I know it’s a lot but I can’t choose a favorite! Haha. Keep up the great work Sam!
What you may find as well is that a narrow gauge loco was the last steam loco ever built and was for Indonesian sugar plantations if I can remember right
Nice vid Sam By the way City of Birmingham has been preserved in the Museum of Science and Industry in Birmingham, but in her final condition without the streamlining. In BR blue if I recall.(Not been there for a few years mind) Fav for me was the Deltic, took me back to my trainspotting days on the ECL at Hadleigh Wood in North London in the late 70's when they were still in service. Idea - A Bluebell Railway session. A great excuse to run Terriers, Adams Radials, the Dukedog, etc!! Jon
Thanks Jon - ooh that's very interesting, I had no idea that one was preserved! Glad you enjoyed the Deltic, and great idea with the Bluebell, I will look into that! :D Cheers, Sam :)
My favourite locomotives from the N.R.M Steam: Duchess of Hamilton Diesel: probably a tie between the deltic and the class 37 Electric: L.N.E.R EM1 class
19:52 Nice Toy Story bin at the left! All jokes aside, it was a great running session and I have to say the Crab and “Duchess of Hamilton” were my favourites. I’d love to see some more NRM locos in the future. - Red 🚂 Edit: Is that the correct spelling of Crab? I wasn’t sure if it was Crabbe or Crab.
A very good idea for a running session, such a shame that none of the National collection are in working order, would be nice to see some of the sole surviving class members running on heritage lines and mainline excursions. Also 4003 Lode Star isn’t the first GWR star class built, that was number 4000 North Star. Keep the faith - Callum
Thanks Callum - I agree, it is a shame - I wonder why they don't restore a couple more of them? Ahh I stand corrected on the Star - many thanks! :D Cheers, Sam :)
A great choice of models! Big fan of the Star, despite it not being in GWR. Numerous BR 9F Preserved. Which one did you drive? Another well known one is 92202 I think. It's Crewe heritage centres one called "Black Prince" Don't know who you buy them all?! A nice to one have run would have been a Class 52 "Western".
Thanks matey - yeah the Star really is a lovely one! I drove No 92214 in the BR green! Ooh yes I've heard of Black Prince! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The NRM for me is a bit of a love hate thing: I love the Nrm because it has saved many locomotives and preserved a lot of historic locomotives and carriages. however i hate the Nrm because it has stuffed a lot of locomotives in the museum and the Nrm tends to be quite stingy and rigid when loaning and running locomotives. Many people don't realise that there are actually 2 m7's in preservation because one has been stuffed in the museum for such a long time that people have forgotten about her. I appreciate the fact that some locomotives may be too old or inadequate for mainline or Heritage rail usage but loco's such as evening star, Mallard and city of Truro are perfectly capable of running on today's modern circuit. Mallard hasn't ran since the 1980's and I'm more than certain that many people would love to see her run in preservation. I appreciate the Nrm and it's motives but i feel that they should loan their locomotives to more Heritage railways.
My favourite locos today was flying Scotsman, mallard, 9F, merchants Navy and City Of Birmingham. I just got City Of Birmingham I got it yesterday and it DCC Fitted I bought from Hattons and it’s for my birthday.
Hi Sam brilliant video and a good suggestion for a video.:) I've been to the museum last month and Scotsman was there resting outside the where house. There are 2 replica rockets one is cut in half like the merchant navy and the other is in the works in pieces along with Sir Nigel Gresley undergoing overhaul it was built in 1979.As a suggestion you could do a Shildon Locomotive museum running session they have.LMS Black 5 #5000, battle of Briton class Winston Churchill #34051, class V2 Green Arrow #4771, GWR 28xx class #2818, GNR class C1 Atlantic #251, LNWR Class G2 super D BR #49395, a J94 in dark green #3850, and a BR green class 03 diesel.
I suggested to you last Christmas that you should review some American Christmas train sets, you should also get and review the Lionel HO-scale Polar Express this Christmas
In my humble opinion (even though I'm not British), the big 3 locomotives for Britain are Mallard, Flying Scotsman, and Duchess of Hamilton. PS: Louis Tomlinson, a member of One Direction, was actually born in Doncaster. Great video.
I kinda wished you added Thomas in this video as a joke, because in a Railway Series book by Christopher Awdry called ‘Thomas and the Great Railway Show’,Thomas went on a trip to the NRM in York.
Fantastic video Sam i have been going to the NRM almost yearly since i was about 5 when i first got into trains. I like the Mallard best but the Duchess of Hamilton is the most beautiful in my opinion. Again great vid Sam well done
When I was a child around 8 years old in 1965 in Canada, I received a clockwork train for Christmas.
This included a 4 wheeled locomotive painted in Royal Green with black details and yellow pinstriping. It was made completely of painted sheet steel. Very beautiful, as I recall. And it had a large clockwork key.
Also a set of track about 1-1/2 inches wide, as I recall. And two coaches, painted green, yellow and black.
My sister and I had so much fun with this trainset, giving Barbie and GI-Joe rides on the train. And creating imaginary worlds with plastic cows, pigs and horses at the side of the track :-)
I love the national railway museum. It is such a great place! I have been there quite a few times, I think around 12 times. It never gets old. Great video as always!
Thanks mate - me too, such a great museum - wow 12 times, that's very awesome! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Cool Idea Sam! I’ve been to the NRM twice! It’s really Great!
Thanks a lot James - that's good to hear, it is a great place! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Somehow I’ve been about 30 times
Sam, that Bachmann crab is stunning! Had to go look for one after watching this. Great video, I need to re-visit the NRM!
Thanks Stevie - yeah they really are stunning actually - hope you find one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great Video Once again Sam Great Work and at 7:26 Love the 9F and i have drove and Fired Her aswell Again Great Video.... Fom Oliver :)
Thanks a lot Lazer - yes I saw the clip you posted of that - it's so awesome right?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
LaZeR JET hi Oliver
Hi LaZeR
LaZeR JET I'm subscribed to both of u guys lol
LaZeR JET #selfpromtion XD I wouldn't like to be the poor bloke firing a coronation up the lickey incline XD
Oh just seeing mallard on the turntable inside the shed of the national railway museum gives me goosebumps. She looks so beautiful in that LNER Gresley blue
Ooh I know - it's just superb isn't it?? :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video with several of the most beautiful preserved locos.
Thanks Norbert - glad you thought they were beautiful :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That photo is pretty cool, its from the A4 reunion, notice the 6 A4s, 2 (dominion of Canada and Dwight D.

OOh lucky you - it's awesome isn't it?? Thanks for sharing! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is a cool idea can you try other railways, like a series!
Thanks Fin! Yes I may well try some others, if this goes down well! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I would really like to see that! I would love it!
Yes. Agreed 👍
My favorite locomotives you showed for this National Railway Museum running session is the Q1, Flying Scotsman, 9F Evening Star, and Mallard. :D
Ahh great choices there - some of my favourites too for sure! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've been to the NRM twice. I couldn't quite see Mallard, as I believe it was taking part in 'The Great Goodbye' during my time there.
Ahh sorry to hear that - still it's a great place, with or without Mallard! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The National Railway Museum really is impressive. I loved it the last time I went there, and I love the collection you had running in this video. I'd say the Star Class is probably my favourite of them all. However, I think Lode Star was actually the 4th of her class. No. 4000 North Star actually takes credit for being the first, or at least I think so.
Anyway, fantastic video, Sam. Keep it up!
Thanks Greg - yeah I'm a big fan too! Oh yes the Star is fantastic - I stand corrected then, she's not the first!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
i went to the NRM when i was 7 and apparently blew their minds, giving them every little detail about Mallard and the speed record haha. would love to go again now 7 years on, i don't have many memories of the place
haha that's amazing - I could do with you for my video research!! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great running session Sam........................John.
Thanks John - much appreciated mate!
Cheers,

haha well spotted! He's since been picked up and sent to hospital! Glad you enjoyed it mate, much appreciated!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Definitely love the Q1, it is overall my favorite locomotive of all time!
Thanks Bryan - I can definitely see why, I'm a huge fan of those too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Used to visit the nrm so often - it's what got me into model railways
That's great to hear - I'm not surprised though, it's a fantastic museum! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I would bite off my own big toe if it meant i could visit this museum!! I've never seen a steam locomotive in person, let alone such magnificent machines as these ❤
Ahh I hope you can visit one day mate - it is lovely!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
46235 City of Birmingham is preserved and is in Birmingham in a museum, i noticed how 46235, 6229 & 6233 are all in red .
Ahh fantastic! At least she's still preserved then!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What a wonderful running session!
Thanks so much mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam, a super little "sesh" there mate, has to be the beautiful Crimson Lake of the LMS for me, striking colour indeed. Suggestion- how about a double header running session???
Thanks a lot Terry - oh yeah that one is striking! Yes I love that idea - I'll definitely try to do that soon! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Another wonderful running session Same, and thanks to your expert skills, every one of these different locos from different manufacturers running perfectly, and a joy to watch...Regards...Bob
Thanks so much Bob - yeah it's a lot of work keeping everything maintained, but I thoroughly enjoy it, and it's well worth it!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam:"alot of the steamers were scraped"
Me:"just like silverlink;("
Yeah just like silverlink :(
Lol
It's a shame, such a beautiful thing to be scrapped
I love the NRM! I've been there every year since I was born. :)
Oh wow lucky you - I didn't know you'd been so often!! D:
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I went to the National Railway Museum last year for the first time. Boy, did I have a good time. I didn't want to leave.
I took my wife there in 2022, she hates the idea of any sort of museum……but ‘low and behold’ she absolutely loved it there….especially the Mallard…..my favourite has got to be The Duchess of Hamilton……
You saying scrapped reminded me. My grandad and his best mate went over to Barry to save 80064 which today runs on the bluebell railway. It was the third engine to leave and be saved. Just thought i would share.
Daniel
Ooh really? Sounds like he did a really good thing - thanks for sharing! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Awesome Sam! I think the NRM is a show off! They should return these beautiful and famous locos to service!
Thanks Ryno! haha yeah I agree - it'd be great if they did that!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Your welcome! Yeah who cares about money!
Cheers,
Ryno :)
6000 King George V has been a NRM resident along with 3440 City of Truro plus 4003 Lode Star

Hi! Sam, well thanks for a great video. It was really nice to see the different regional trains running. All the beautiful locos all played a great part in the railways history, and it's always great to see them remembered. The nephews are going to love this video, so once again Sam, a very big thank you.
Thanks Trevor, glad you enjoyed this for a change! That's good to hear - hope everyone enjoys it!
Cheers,

I went to the national railway museum last year, and I got to see my favorite loco of all time, evening star it was absolutely awesome I also saw mallard and all the other a4s and the duchess of Hamilton and the q1
Really glad you were able to go - Evening star is amazing isn't it!? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’m going there for my Birthday, this summer! I have always wanted to go and my parents have finally agreed to take me! Thanks for the great taster, Sam! :)
Awesome! Have a great time - it is a fantastic museum! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
10:10 in Total, 9 9Fs are preserved( in various states of condition Butt most of them are operational)
Ooh nice - glad to hear there were so many!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Always like the Mallard, but from your selection today, the one I like best is the railcar. I will be on a train pulled by a real Merchant Navy class on Sunday, 'Clan Line' for me.
Ooh good choice Ian - yeah the Railcar is fantastic actually! Awesome - hope you have a great time! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Love this
If I ever come to Britian the Railway museum is a place I want to go to
I GOT BITTERN WITH 2 TENDERS, I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it runs super smooth as well, I also got a new dcc controller and some Pullman coaches for my tornado train, and some ocean wagons for the 9f, and some Bachmann tankers, and extra track, and the best is the Harry Potter hogwarts express train set from hornby, it’s awesome, Olten hall is my favorite gwr loco
That's amazing Kristi - really glad you're happy with it! Have a great time!! :D
Merry Christmas,
Sam :)
I love the N.R.M. i know someone who worked there (he is a supply teacher that went to my school) his favourite loco from the N.R.M is 9f evening star
Yeah me too - and that's very awesome, can't beat the 9F either! :D
Happy New Year,
Sam :)
At the nrm at shildon, they have the oldest running engine in the UK. It is a Furness railway loco of the bury type, it does passenger runs on the track there, I'm going to barrow soon on holiday, the birthplace of Edward, coppernob, and number 20 (the running one).
Ooh really? I'd love to go and see that one - it sounds fantastic!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’ve never been to the National Railway Museum but I would love to go there one day and I love this running section great video
Awesome mate - I can definitely well recommend it! :D
Glad you liked it,
Cheers,
Sam :)
i am in York and have been to NRM it is great, if you come to York on Mondays there is a guy in the York markets that sells 00 trains and wagons old and almost new ones at great prices , also check out Goji in Goodramgate for a great meal
Thanks Mark - ooh really? That sounds great, I'd love to come see him! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love his video Sam!!!!!!! I've been to the NRM many a time!
Thanks Oliver, that's great to hear - it's such a good museum!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Call me crazy but I'm thinking of pre-ordering the new streamlined coronation in blue from Hattons, £152 I think it was... Also those coaches are 2's, not 1's. 1's for steam era, 2's for late steam early diesels, 3's for HST and late diesels.
Ooh fantastic! I'm thinking about doing that too... let's hope it's good!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam. I've been to the NRM three times I think, and it's definitely worth it! My favourite locomotive would have to be the Star Class, or the GWR railcar.
Thanks Martin, very nice - definitely worth it for sure! Ahh good choice - those are both superb! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great idea, Sam. NRM is a great place to visit. I have been. I could not see everything they had, I could have been there for 2 days. It is also free to get in. Peter Waterman owes a 9F. Great video, Sam. Keep it going, great format.
Thanks Nigel - I know, it really is a vast place!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video. It's on my bucket list to see the NRM and to tour York and the midlands. Might have to convince the wife to let me go alone, she is too scared of the plane!
Oh fantastic Andrew, hope you get to go one day! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've got an 09 class diesel shunter in the NRM livery. I did a video on it earlier
Ooh awesome - I'll be sure to check that out later!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I personally feel very lucky as I have been to the NRM about 30 times and I live about 100 miles away
That’s a wonderful collection there mate, I love it there at the National Railway Museum in York, don’t worry about the wrong names and you haven’t got some of them who is at the NRM York if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing buddy cheers ... Josh
Thanks so much mate - yeah I thought as long as they looked the part, it'd be okay!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video been nrm twice however a lot of the Scotsman overhaul/rebuild was carried out by Riley’s at baron street works on the East Lancashire Railway
Thanks Dek - and thanks for the info on that, duly noted!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great job. I have been to the National Railway Museum in 2014.
Thanks mate! Ooh lucky you - did you have a good time?? :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains I enjoy
These locomotives are certainly some of the finest, absolutely beautiful. However there is something I’d like to about when you mentioned Stephenson’s rocket, (I assume you may already know) but in case you didn’t, They are now moving it to the NRM.
Thanks a lot mate - really glad you thought so! Ahh are they really? I didn't know this - but that's great news! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I went to the NRM when I was younger, Mallard and The Flying Scotsman were both not there, because they were being mended. I hope to go back soon
Oh very nice - sorry to hear you missed the A4 and A3 though :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've seen the flying scotsman at NRM it was in the north shed in repair
I saw her too - that's very cool! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
lovely locos! without people like u we wouldn't have steamies today
You're very kind Harvey - I'm a big steamie fan too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam! I just love to sit down and relax while watching your running sessions. My favorites in the running session would be the Q1, the Crab, and the Class 55. I know it’s a lot but I can’t choose a favorite! Haha. Keep up the great work Sam!
Thanks so much mate - really glad you enjoy these! Ooh yes, those really are super - especially the Q1! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
0:33 thats the most realistic hornby mallard ive seen
Ooh yeah - they are superb!! :D
facts: No. 22 is at Didcot. 9006 is preserved. the replica of Rocket was built in 1979. i think 35020 is preserved, or atleast I think so.
Ooh awesome - thanks a lot for the awesome info Ted!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Should've put Thomas in there. He visited it in Thomas and the Great Railway Show and became a member of the National Collection.
Ooh yeah! Maybe Thomas should visit a running session??
My favourite loco is the Q1 because it is an austerity design and it is designed by Oliver bullied in 1942
Ooh good choice Sarah - yeah those really are superb! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What you may find as well is that a narrow gauge loco was the last steam loco ever built and was for Indonesian sugar plantations if I can remember right
Ahh of course, I bet there are many of those - but again, not built by British railways!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Oops sorry must of misheard you thanks for the reply
I've been to the National Railway Museum a couple of times!
Very cool! It really is a great place! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I can see the nrm from my house, I’ve been there at least a thousand times (literally), great vid mate, nice seeing so many familiar engines

I've also visited the National Railway Museum in Shildon.
Fantastic - was it good there?? :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice vid Sam
By the way City of Birmingham has been preserved in the Museum of Science and Industry in Birmingham, but in her final condition without the streamlining. In BR blue if I recall.(Not been there for a few years mind)
Fav for me was the Deltic, took me back to my trainspotting days on the ECL at Hadleigh Wood in North London in the late 70's when they were still in service.
Idea - A Bluebell Railway session. A great excuse to run Terriers, Adams Radials, the Dukedog, etc!!
Jon
Thanks Jon - ooh that's very interesting, I had no idea that one was preserved!
Glad you enjoyed the Deltic, and great idea with the Bluebell, I will look into that! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I read on rail roport that the original stepsons rocket Is going to live at the national railway museum
Yeah a couple of other people mentioned that too - I had no idea that was the case!!!! D:
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
My favourite locomotives from the N.R.M
Steam: Duchess of Hamilton
Diesel: probably a tie between the deltic and the class 37
Electric: L.N.E.R EM1 class
Ooh good choice - she is superb!! :d
Happy New Year,
Sam :)
Been there twice and it’s awesome
Fantastic! It is awesome! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Awesome job Sam
Thank you! :D
For my Birthday tomorrow I am getting the Flying Scotsman from Hattons. She is my favorite British steam loco.
Ooh awesome - that's fantastic, hope you enjoy her, and have a very happy birthday!
Cheers,
Sam :)
19:52 Nice Toy Story bin at the left! All jokes aside, it was a great running session and I have to say the Crab and “Duchess of Hamilton” were my favourites. I’d love to see some more NRM locos in the future. - Red 🚂
Edit: Is that the correct spelling of Crab? I wasn’t sure if it was Crabbe or Crab.
haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it anyway mate - yeah I think those stand out for me too! Yeah it's Crab!
Cheers,
Sam :)
You gave the perfect idea
For drawing some more engines i will do the ones of the NRM
Ooh awesome idea - good luck with them mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I'm going to the NRM in the fall, looking forward to it.
Ooh fantastic mate - hope you have a great time! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
In fact City of Birmingham 6235 has been preserved but she's just static in the Birmingham science museum and she's non streamlined.
Ooh okay, thanks for letting me know mate - glad to hear she's still around! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
A very good idea for a running session, such a shame that none of the National collection are in working order, would be nice to see some of the sole surviving class members running on heritage lines and mainline excursions. Also 4003 Lode Star isn’t the first GWR star class built, that was number 4000 North Star. Keep the faith - Callum
Thanks Callum - I agree, it is a shame - I wonder why they don't restore a couple more of them? Ahh I stand corrected on the Star - many thanks! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
A great choice of models! Big fan of the Star, despite it not being in GWR. Numerous BR 9F Preserved. Which one did you drive? Another well known one is 92202 I think. It's Crewe heritage centres one called "Black Prince" Don't know who you buy them all?! A nice to one have run would have been a Class 52 "Western".
Thanks matey - yeah the Star really is a lovely one! I drove No 92214 in the BR green!
Ooh yes I've heard of Black Prince! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains 92214! She's a nice one, especially in BR Green.
Great video Sam you should do bachmann Gordon vs bachmann spencer
Thanks a lot mate - ooh I should, that'd be awesome! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam I’ve got the Ugly Duckling C24 as well
Ooh fantastic - they're very cool aren't they?! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You should do a video like this for the locomotion museum at shildon
That would be great Jacob - fantastic idea! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam, love those Triang locomotives. I watch them on Oscar Paisley’s channel, etc., and they seem to be as popular as ever.
Bob Nicholson
Thanks a lot Bob - I love them too, always had a big soft spot for those! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I Love the National Railway Museum and great video Sam'sTrains.
Thanks Ben - me too, it's awesome! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You are welcome.
I've been there times it's amazing
(Dutchess of Hamilton is my favourite train)
That's great to hear - I can see why you picked her! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Plus great vid sam
😃
6:10 please do more of these shots in the future, they are amazing!
haha thank you!! :D
The Deltic is now in two tone green and has been for quite a few years
I really like the 9f it’s a great peace of engineering
The NRM for me is a bit of a love hate thing:
I love the Nrm because it has saved many locomotives and preserved a lot of historic locomotives and carriages.
however i hate the Nrm because it has stuffed a lot of locomotives in the museum and the Nrm tends to be quite stingy and rigid when loaning and running locomotives. Many people don't realise that there are actually 2 m7's in preservation because one has been stuffed in the museum for such a long time that people have forgotten about her. I appreciate the fact that some locomotives may be too old or inadequate for mainline or Heritage rail usage but loco's such as evening star, Mallard and city of Truro are perfectly capable of running on today's modern circuit. Mallard hasn't ran since the 1980's and I'm more than certain that many people would love to see her run in preservation.
I appreciate the Nrm and it's motives but i feel that they should loan their locomotives to more Heritage railways.
Yeah I know what you're saying - and they're not overly interested in restoration too, which is a real shame!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
My favourite locos today was flying Scotsman, mallard, 9F, merchants Navy and City Of Birmingham. I just got City Of Birmingham I got it yesterday and it DCC Fitted I bought from Hattons and it’s for my birthday.
Ooh great choices - so most of them really then ;D
That's fantastic - enjoy her mate!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains were did you got yours
The LMS Crab looks really good as well, I would like to have one but I couldn’t find one on line except a used one but it was in horrible condition
Ooh yes - those are certainly lovely engines too!! :D
Merry Christmas,
Sam :)
Hi Sam brilliant video and a good suggestion for a video.:) I've been to the museum last month and Scotsman was there resting outside the where house. There are 2 replica rockets one is cut in half like the merchant navy and the other is in the works in pieces along with Sir Nigel Gresley undergoing overhaul it was built in 1979.As a suggestion you could do a Shildon Locomotive museum running session they have.LMS Black 5 #5000, battle of Briton class Winston Churchill #34051, class V2 Green Arrow #4771, GWR 28xx class #2818, GNR class C1 Atlantic #251, LNWR Class G2 super D BR #49395, a J94 in dark green #3850, and a BR green class 03 diesel.
Oh wonderful Joseph - really glad you saw Scotsman! I didn't know there were two rockets - that's very cool!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Fun fact, the J13 at the NRM was the first preserved steam engine!
Was she really?! I had no idea that was the first!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I suggested to you last Christmas that you should review some American Christmas train sets, you should also get and review the Lionel HO-scale Polar Express this Christmas
Yeah sure - that's a good idea, I will look into more Christmas trains! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
In my humble opinion (even though I'm not British), the big 3 locomotives for Britain are Mallard, Flying Scotsman, and Duchess of Hamilton. PS: Louis Tomlinson, a member of One Direction, was actually born in Doncaster. Great video.
Yeah I think that's fair to say Jacob - maybe including Tornado too?
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yeah Tornado as well. Great video.
Good thing about the city off Birmingham is that it's preserved and is in the Birmingham think tank but unfortunately it's not streamlined
Ahh excellent - it's great to know I ran a preserved one!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I kinda wished you added Thomas in this video as a joke, because in a Railway Series book by Christopher Awdry called ‘Thomas and the Great Railway Show’,Thomas went on a trip to the NRM in York.
haha that would have been funny actually, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Fantastic video Sam i have been going to the NRM almost yearly since i was about 5 when i first got into trains. I like the Mallard best but the Duchess of Hamilton is the most beautiful in my opinion. Again great vid Sam well done
Thanks a lot mate - ooh lucky you, it really is a fantastic place - and yeah those two do stand out!
Cheers,
Sam :)
