She’s not the “Big Red Machine” she is the sole remaining LMS and any British steamer that is named after her majesty; Queen Elizabeth II. I may be an American, but when her majesty passed away, I felt something leave a hole in my heart, 70 years of good service to her country, Queen Elizabeth II was the best of the British monarchs to-date. Today, I still am not used to hearing “king of England” with King Charles the 3rd. Rest in peace your majesty, we all miss you. No longer leading England, but always in our hearts.
In the early 1950 I had Tri.ang train set with the Princess Elizabeth locomotive in red with two red and cream coaches an oval of track that include an uncoupling ramp.that train went very fast!
A shame she's presently a dead engine till an overhaul can be done. Had a chance of traveling behind her over Shap and the S&C from Liverpool on a CME few years back.
Great compilation Liam & Phil. I fear for gd old Lizzie a magnificent engine of the mainline steam scene such as her with a serious uncertain future. When I last saw her she was in a very poor state & was clearly on her last legs. With not so gd things going on behind closed doors that's why I'm reluctant to join & donate to the society. I would not rule out David Smith of West Coast Railways purchasing Lizzie to permanently join the Carnforth 10A steam fleet. Anyway great video as always. Richard
@@jameshardy4354 forget it as it wont happen, 6201's owning group unless they really really have to will NOT sell her as they've had her since withdrawal.
Fantastic presentation, thanks guys 👍👍👍👍. Sad to hear that things are so serious though. Had a wonderful trip with her in mid 70's, Shrewsbury to Chester and return. I believe she was sharing accomodation with King George V at Hereford at the time.
Foreigners like me agree it's a terrific performer and looks great (the lovely livery helps) so sad it's inoperable. Hope a solution can be found forthwith.
@@MarshSteamVideosTM I mean that makes sense but i just wonder why 6201's owners dont have the same thought about her that 6233's owners have in regards to pushing the engine hard. Is 6233 a rarer engine or something? I'm not very informed.
@@ChaosWarpGaming if lizzie had been overhauled at butterley it surely wouldnt of been out of traffic right now if simon had got his hands on it as a proper job had been done
RIP to Her Royal Highness. It's so sad that the locomotive which was named after her is unable to pay tribute properly :'( .

That loco is currently out of service thanks to a leak in the boiler that has caused the engine not to continue running

I really hope she’s saved to be honest, her joining carnforth would be amazing
Iv been behind her out of Liverpool Lime Street.
I there sell her to west coast or let west coast take full control over the locomotive she would be looked after at carnforth

Exquisite video. thanks for posting.
*gestures towards an A4* "This is brilliant...but i LIKE this!" *gestures towards the Princess*
what a beauty :-)
It's nice to see a steam train without a diesel engine Assisting
The diesal isn't assisting it's providing heating to the carriages.
Great video👍
shame the Queen jubilee hasn't stepped in for something like this. im sure the society will find funds soon
Steam engines are expensive to run! Great video.
My impression, purely on watching videos, is that it out performs 6233 every time!
6233 Isn't allowed to work as hard as 6201 except on some rare occasions.
@@MarshSteamVideosTM Is there a reason for this?
@@ChaosWarpGaming They just don't want the engine thrashed which is understandable.
