Hi Sam! That blue locomotive is former Swedish Railways B class No. 1697, built in 1944, later sold to SWB as A2 No. 101. I work with those on my railway. :) The tender is appropriate for the class as they used them back here on routes with shorter turntables. The blue paint I believe is _suposed_ to represent the blued metal applied on the boiler and cab, but is much too blue here. It should be more greyish and at the time she was built the practice of blueing the cab and boiler was abandoned for the simpler (and cheaper) all-black paint. Still, looks nice!
Hi Sam, the Diesel Hydraulic 0-6-0 in the shed numbered 45, is a Class 14 locomotive new to 1964/65 to British Railways as D 9520. It was sold in the late 1960's to Stewarts & Lloyod's steel makers at Corby. The Class 31 locomotives where present as there was a Sixty birthday bash Gala for the Class in mid October which clashed with the Peterborough Model Railway Event. Yellow Class 31 belongs to Harry Needle railways, 31 466 is visiting from the Dean Forest Railway, and 31 271 Stratford 1840-2001 in Railfreight two tone grey is owned by A1A Locomotive group of Butterley (Midland Railway Centre).
0:27 that engine came from Sweden! the Nene Valley Railway has quite a few continental European trains! 3:37 that Thomas was the first real steam locmotive to be painted as such! The Reverend w Awdry dedicated it in 1971! 3:54 I think that engine sat in an abandoned storage shed for many years and was brought here probably last year! 4:55 I think that's a class 14 with cutaway panels! 8:30 that box car with the worn out wood is a continental European one!
Sam, would like you to answer some questions I thought of: 1: If you were head of railways, would you bring back steam engines (and make them more Eco friendly) or would you keep diesels? 2: If you could bring back 5 steam engines that have been scrapped, what would they be?
Hi! As much as I love steam, I wouldn't bring them back - there would be no way to make them more economical then diesel or electrics I don't think... not to mention the maintenance! I think they'd be the E2, P2, Turbomotive, 4-4-0 County and Iron Duke - off the top of my head :3 Thanks for watching, Sam :)
There is actually the mock-up class 325 cab end at Overton (Stop just after Wansford heading to Peterborough) which is open to people and the cab door and windows are still openable. Not sure if it is accessible to get inside of now however.
You should definitely take an exciting trip to my local railway- it's the Kent and East Sussex Railway. It's amazing. It's the finest example in the whole country of a light railway. You could easily spend a full day there!
Thanks, Sam. It's always interesting to see inside the old cabs and wagons. There is a five-part series on TH-cam produced by the BBC. It's called Full Steam Ahead. It shows the development of railways, rolling stock and railways services starting before Rocket and going right up to the eclipse of steam by diesel power. The presenters ride and drive, dig and chop, and climb and crawl all about them. It's interesting in all kinds of ways.
I would love to have come with you 😂😂, I'm joking Sam I was busy today anyway but I would love to visit the Nene Valley Railway looks awesome and they have some stunning locos. Awesome video. 👍👍
That was very good being able to go on all those loco's and also have a go sorting the mail out , good to see these railways too far to visit on a day trip .......Peter
Fun video. When im well and able to travel worth a visit. Glad that we had a tragic rail accident today on the West Coast it was the trains in an inaugural run in Washington state
Another great video Sam. I live in Wales and there is a lot of great heritage lines near me. The good ones are the Gwili railway and the llangollen railway.
Sam that loco is a F class from sweden and that plate on the cabside is a litt F 11xx . The tender is a Sj standard tender. This loco was made by NOHAB the major loco bouilder in sweden this loco in its original livery is very stunning. But the Swdish state railways loco workshop was a boulider as well. You should be very luckey indeed to have seen this loco. It was exported to denmark and was bouild under licence by Frichs in denmark. Thanks for showing my favorite steam loco from sweden. 👍👍👍👍🇸🇪
Hey Sam! Awesome video. You can maybe go to the Middleton Railway in Leeds! Interestingly, they are restoring a Saint Madeleine Sugar Company Locomotive there; No. 18 “Picton”. In 2002, a gentleman named David Monkton bought the loco and trans-shipped it from Trinidad to England where it was put in Leeds to be restored to working order.
Very good. Haven't been there for years. In fact for any Bond Fans out there, Octopussy was filmed here, for the German Scenes. In fact when we went there, they had all the props for the movie still before they packed them away.
Really nice video! Nice video to relax to. I swear there is something about your voice that is so calming that makes these types of videos so good. Happy Holidays and I hope you can get to 16k subs before 2017 is over! :D
haha thanks very much mate - I'm really glad you think so, that's really kind of you! Ooh that'd be fantastic - I'd love that!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
My local line ! I was at the class 31 event too! :) The blue steam loco did run on the line i can't remember the loco class lol keep up the good work mark :)
Must have missed this video when it came out but I come here a lot as it’s only 20 odd minutes away, it’s a great way to ride a train and go to queensgate shopping centre at the same time
Hi Sam. I believe the token can be/is used as a key to release locked mechanisms. Without the key token from the incoming train the points and signals cannot be set to allow an outgoing train to return on that single track. The same thing applies at the other end, the points are locked until the return service arrives. Bob.
Great video, never visited but I would like to, would you be continuing visiting and filming heritage railways and if so, may I suggest the Embsay and Bolton abbey steam railway in the Yorkshire dales, I have been and I think you would like it. It is not the biggest railway, but it is enjoyable. Anyway, great video, you have earned a sub from me. Thank you for uploading
Definitely worth uploading Sam....Enjoyed that..That Sorting coach nearly had...Nearly !!! the same amount of parcels as i have to contend with each day at RM lol !!!!....Great vid..Not been there myself in many a year..!!! Cheers Adrian....(Still to watch your last live stream)
Hi Adrian, glad you enjoyed it! Blimey - I do feel for you at this time of year - I hope you're looking forward to at least a few days off over the next couple of weeks? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Got 3 days off Sam..Sun,Mon Tuesday...over xmas.....but what i`m really looking forward to is Mon 8th January.....a FULL week off.Hope to get some work done on my Garden railway.....Still awaiting a shed for rebuilding the Triang layout.Its going to take some time,but will be worth it.All the best...!!!
Wonderful! Bit jealous due to me being Australia not having any steam passing our town or any trains in general. I love the UK though. I'm part british too!
They had a 31 gala there that’s why there’s that many of them Edit: the green loco you went on is 1589 newstead which was presumed scrapped but found in 2015
If you think that Continental engine is big, try a Union Pacific Big Boy on for size! Thanks for the mini trip report. Nice to see some 1:1 scale in your videos! ;)
Man I'd love to see that place. I think that green engine with the face is possibly Peter Sam considering the name plate on the side of the boiler. Also I really liked this video I'd love to see more if you travel other places
The biggest steam railway for me is bo'ness which all the tender engines broke and a shed blew up, we thought it was a guy walking towards the engine shed only to find out he was the class 27 driver. Still a good railway if visiting Scotland
I remember around late 2010 there was some sort of Thomas day in llangollen. They painted a real steam locomotive blue and added face. I'll send you a picture when I can find one.:)
the loco at the beginning is a swedish B class no.101 built in 44'. the loco has also starred in the james bond film octopussy disguised as a german D class loco
Ooh I think that Class 31 in Network Rail livery is nice! Hopefully Hornby make a super detail 31 with sound, i'd buy that right away, and it makes sense as they're bringing out some NR mk2s (Fingers crossed then hah!) Cheers mate! Ed.
Thanks for bringing me back to Nene Valley Railway. It's the first and sofar only English heritage railway that I've been at. My friend and her husband brought me there in 2014 when I was visiting them. If you're interested, here is a short video with a cab ride in another Swedish locomotive. You will recognise many things from the loco you 'played' in: th-cam.com/video/tUWlTWmgyAU/w-d-xo.html /Anders (The Swedish B class loco at NVR was never painted in that blue colour when it was used in Sweden. It was probably all black when NVR bought it)
Nice video, those class 31s are in really good condition for their age, cos all of ews ones got withdrawn in favour of gm class 66s or some of their class 37s for weight restricted lines
Hey Sam Great video, I guess the Nene Valley do love a class 31! If your ever up in in Middle Earth (well the midlands) you should visit the Churnet Valley Railway. It's a great little line, with some exiting extensions planned..... I am planning a video series where I walk (at least some of) the parts of the lined that aren't preserved. On a different note, have you considered buying a Sentinel? Thanks Olly
Hi Olly - haha yeah they definitely do! Ooh thanks for the tip - I'll be sure to check that one out one day! Sounds fantastic mate - good luck with it! I would quite like a sentinel - I'll have to try one some time! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yeah, a great little slice of the North Staffordshire Railway. Something I intend to emulate through my walking series. And yeah they are great little models Olly
Based on the logo on the tender on the blue engine I'd guess it's from sweden. You see I Locomoted behind a tank engine from sweden with the same logo, although it could just be a random tender
Next time go to the bluebell railway because it has a lot of steam locomotives with different colors. Also at 8:21 that locomotive with the black sheet on it, that might be the only existing BR class 28, No. D5702 which is BoCo's basis. Because they always sheet D5702. Also No. 271 train had the brake coach in the middle, it should be on the end.
Absolutely - I'd really love to go and see those! Ahh okay - yes others have said the same, you might be right about the 28! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Good day out Sam ....nice stuff ...and I think you were on form ....more trip out vids please ....somewhere I’ll have to visit....regards Fred ...ps the ugly tank engine might have rival ie my latest vid . Oh by the the loco so named for cranes going under low bridges !
I have never been to the Nene Valley, though i want to go there very soon. Great video as always sam! (Also its volcanoboy19, i have just changed my channel name!)
🎵 There’s a hole in my firebox, dear Sam’sTrains, dear Sam’sTrains. There’s a hole in my firebox, dear Sam’sTrains, a hole!🎵 🎵 Well fix it dear engine, dear engine, well fix it, dear engine, dear engine, *fix* *it* 🎵
Excellent video Sam. The Nene Valley is the closest preserved railway to where I lived in England in the 1960's/ 70's. Did You find Trains 4 U in Peterborough? They carry a lot of used model railway stock as well as new. I believe the blue loco is Danish. Cheers Sam, David.
evening Sam, I would recommend your next for you to visit the North Norfolk railway at sheringham, or the mid Norfolk railway. I have got some vids on my channel if you want an insight.
Great video mate :) looks like you had a great time playing about with the controls of that loco!! I love a good heritage railway, especially the north Yorkshire moors, have you been? All the best mate and merry Christmas---Ben
will you ever come to usa and visit steam railroads here like Mt. Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum in elbe,wa or Chehalis-Centralia Railroad & Museum in 1101 SW Sylvenus St, Chehalis, WA
Hi Sam! That blue locomotive is former Swedish Railways B class No. 1697, built in 1944, later sold to SWB as A2 No. 101. I work with those on my railway. :) The tender is appropriate for the class as they used them back here on routes with shorter turntables. The blue paint I believe is _suposed_ to represent the blued metal applied on the boiler and cab, but is much too blue here. It should be more greyish and at the time she was built the practice of blueing the cab and boiler was abandoned for the simpler (and cheaper) all-black paint. Still, looks nice!
Many thanks for the info on her mate, much appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video Sam, that blue engine is a Swedish B class, I do love the Nene valley railway.
Thanks very much James - duly noted! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I love the Nene Valley Railway - it’s one of my favourite heritage railways!
Me too Daniel - it is awesome!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
great video Sam !! i believe they have unrebuilt ,spam can, 92 squadron in southern livery yellow and green - great video again Adam :)
Thanks a lot Adam - yes they do, though it wasn't around when I went sadly :(
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Really beautiful steam and diesel locos. All part of a great history in engeneering.
Thanks very much Norbert - glad you enjoyed seeing those! :D

Ooh that sounds good - I'll have to try and watch that some time! :D

Glad you uploaded this one Sam... perhaps you should do more of these for other preserved railways. I did like the more relaxed, casual style.
Thanks very much Peter - absolutely, I would love to make more like this! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Some great scenes of the railway.
Thanks very much - really glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers,

Thanks a lot Bill - absolutely, it's well worth visiting this one.

Really enjoyed the video. I think the diesel shunter at 5.00 in is a class 14 'teddy bear' which Heljan make models of.
Thanks a lot Donald, I really like the look of that - I'll search for the Heljan one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Another great video Sam. I live in Wales and there is a lot of great heritage lines near me. The good ones are the Gwili railway and the llangollen railway.

Sam that loco is a F class from sweden and that plate on the cabside is a litt F 11xx .
The tender is a Sj standard tender.
This loco was made by NOHAB the major loco

Thanks very much Michael - yes I enjoyed that too - fantastic that you can just climb on board and mess around with it! :D
Thanks for watching,

Very good. Haven't been there for years. In fact for any Bond Fans out there, Octopussy was filmed here, for the German Scenes. In fact when we went there, they had all the props for the movie still before they packed them away.
Thank you! Ooh that's a very cool fact - I wish I'd known that before visiting!! :D
Thanks for watching,

Great visit.

Must have been when i was still at school sometime in the 2000's if i remember right !

Thanks Oliver - absolutely, it really is a great day out! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Great video of the Nene Valley Railway Sam ; ) Thomas's face looks like he is chewing something.
haha thanks Joe - you're right he does, lol ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Looks very interesting there. I don't know if I will ever go to the Nene Valley Railway, it is a long way from home. However, you never know.
Thanks very much Ian - yeah that's the problem I have too - some are just too far away to visit for the day :/
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)

Thanks for the info,

Great video Sam on valley trip line
Thanks a lot Graham, glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers,

You always make great video Sam keep it going my friend
Thanks very much mate - that's very kind of you!

Hey it's home turf! Yeah I live in Peterborough and the area so I've made plenty of trips to NVR myself.
Ooh fantastic - lucky you - it was a brilliant day trip! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video, never visited but I would like to, would you be continuing visiting and filming heritage railways and if so, may I suggest the Embsay and Bolton abbey steam railway in the Yorkshire dales, I have been and I think you would like it. It is not the biggest railway, but it is enjoyable.
Anyway, great video, you have earned a sub from me. Thank you for uploading
Thanks so much! Yeah sure, once they open again, I'd be very glad to! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
If you’re ever in Northamptonshire, check out the Northampton lamport railway. It’s a small heritage line but it’s very nice.
I'll do that Ben, thanks a lot for the tip! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wow!
Also Sam, keep up the good work!
Awhh sorry to hear you're on crutches - hope you still have a fantastic Christmas though, and get some rest!
Thanks for all your support,
Sam :)
My support for you is all thanks to you, have a great Christmas, a happy new year, and keep producing more amazing video's,
You're the best Sam.
TWA;)
Hope to go here at some point, its along way from where i live. You should come up to the Worth Valley at some point
Thanks very much! Ooh absolutely - that one's on my list of ones to see! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Definitely worth uploading Sam....Enjoyed that..That Sorting coach nearly had...Nearly !!! the same amount of parcels as i have to contend with each day at RM lol !!!!....Great vid..Not been there myself in many a year..!!! Cheers Adrian....(Still to watch your last live stream)
Hi Adrian, glad you enjoyed it! Blimey - I do feel for you at this time of year - I hope you're looking forward to at least a few days off over the next couple of weeks?

Wonderful! Bit jealous due to me being Australia not having any steam passing our town or any trains in general. I love the UK though. I'm part british too!
Awhh sorry to hear that mate - hope you can visit soon! :D
Thanks for watching,

I remember going there for Thomas event, I wish I go back there.
Ooh fantastic - I could tell they did lots of Thomas events there, hehe! :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Omg!!!!!!! This is awesome!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it :3
Cheers,
Sam :)
They had a 31 gala there that’s why there’s that many of them
Edit: the green loco you went on is 1589 newstead which was presumed scrapped but found in 2015
Ahh yes that would explain it - haha!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If you think that Continental engine is big, try a Union Pacific Big Boy on for size!
Thanks for the mini trip report. Nice to see some 1:1 scale in your videos! ;)
haha I know - you're right, I'd love to see one of those in real life! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Yeah. I live in the states and have even blown the whistle of one of those monsters!
Man I'd love to see that place. I think that green engine with the face is possibly Peter Sam considering the name plate on the side of the boiler. Also I really liked this video I'd love to see more if you travel other places
I know - it was brilliant! Ooh okay - yeah that could be true then! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
The biggest steam railway for me is bo'ness which all the tender engines broke and a shed blew up, we thought it was a guy walking towards the engine shed only to find out he was the class 27 driver. Still a good railway if visiting Scotland
Ooh okay - that sounds fantastic - I'd love to see that one some time! :D

The coach on the blue locomotive is from James Bond Goldeneye I believe
I remember around late 2010 there was some sort of Thomas day in llangollen. They painted a real steam locomotive blue and added face. I'll send you a picture when I can find one.:)
Ahh that's awesome - I'd love to see that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
the loco at the beginning is a swedish B class no.101 built in 44'. the loco has also starred in the james bond film octopussy disguised as a german D class loco
Ooh right - many thanks for the info on that one, that's very interesting! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
ur welcome
I think that Blue tender engine at the beginning is an Australian steam engine, it's very big and Australian steam engines are very big.
Ooh it could be! Most people are saying it's Swedish, but it could be! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
It's Swedish as on the works plate it says Stockholm.
And it's crest is different to any assuie loco
Ooh I think that Class 31 in Network Rail livery is nice! Hopefully Hornby make a super detail 31 with sound, i'd buy that right away, and it makes sense as they're bringing out some NR mk2s (Fingers crossed then hah!)
Cheers mate!
Ed.
I thought so too Ed - really lovely that one! Agreed - that'd be a very nice one to have! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
There is a Network Rail Class 31 by Hornby, but I do not think there is a sound version yet.
Very nice video Sam:)
Thanks a lot Allen!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Thanks for bringing me back to Nene Valley Railway. It's the first and sofar only English heritage railway that I've been at. My friend and her husband brought me there in 2014 when I was visiting them. If you're interested, here is a short video with a cab ride in another Swedish locomotive. You will recognise many things from the loco you 'played' in: th-cam.com/video/tUWlTWmgyAU/w-d-xo.html
/Anders
(The Swedish B class loco at NVR was never painted in that blue colour when it was used in Sweden. It was probably all black when NVR bought it)
No problem mate - glad you were able to visit too! Ooh that sounds good - I'll take a look at that some time! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
Chuckled at the Hornby joke!
haha - I couldn't help myself ;D
That huge diesel shunter is a class 14 helgan do a good one
Ooh okay - I'm probably going to try and get the Heljan one at some point! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
dude 5:31 newmarket hole that's naer were i live! nice i wonder if there's a cambridge or even a more local one then that,
Ooh fantastic - I'm not too sure, it's possible! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
It is a loco from Sweden in the Netherlands are also a couple of this locos.
Ahh thanks for that Marco - that's very cool! :D
If you come down south, the Bluebell Railway is a great day out
For sure - I'd absolutely love to visit the Bluebell - it looks superb! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
You could visit the Bluebell Railway, or the NRM.
Of course, only if you can.
Absolutely - I'd love to - I've been to the NRM several times, but never the Bluebell so far! :3

Nice video, those class 31s are in really good condition for their age, cos all of ews ones got withdrawn in favour of gm class 66s or some of their class 37s for weight restricted lines
Thanks a lot mate - I agree, they looked very pristine!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Hey Sam
Great video, I guess the Nene Valley do love a class 31!
If your ever up in in Middle Earth (well the midlands) you should visit the Churnet Valley Railway. It's a great little line, with some exiting extensions planned.....
I am planning a video series where I walk (at least some of) the parts of the lined that aren't preserved.
On a different note, have you considered buying a Sentinel?
Thanks
Olly
Hi Olly - haha yeah they definitely do! Ooh thanks for the tip - I'll be sure to check that one out one day!
Sounds fantastic mate - good luck with it!
I would quite like a sentinel - I'll have to try one some time! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Yeah, a great little slice of the North Staffordshire Railway. Something I intend to emulate through my walking series.
And yeah they are great little models
Olly
Wow. Nice one
Thank you! :D
I live in Peterborough and I went to the NVR
fyi @ 4:50 73050 is a BR Standard 5, 'City of Peterborough' She is in for heavy overhaul and that big diesel is a class 14
Ahh excellent - hopefully she'll be up and running in a few years time then! Love the class 14 too! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
3:08 I Read That as "Derek Couch"
haha!!
Based on the logo on the tender on the blue engine I'd guess it's from sweden. You see I Locomoted behind a tank engine from sweden with the same logo, although it could just be a random tender
Ahh okay - someone else said that, so you may be right!
Thanks for the info,
Sam :)
Go to the Sittingbourne and Kemsly light Railway
Ooh okay - I'd love to visit there one day! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I once accidentally ended up in petobourugh by accident because I left the train without my ticket went back on to get it and the doors locked
Next time go to the bluebell railway because it has a lot of steam locomotives with different colors. Also at 8:21 that locomotive with the black sheet on it, that might be the only existing BR class 28, No. D5702 which is BoCo's basis. Because they always sheet D5702. Also No. 271 train had the brake coach in the middle, it should be on the end.
Absolutely - I'd really love to go and see those! Ahh okay - yes others have said the same, you might be right about the 28! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)

Seeing this blue steam engine reminds me of Edward a little bit but we all know that Edward is a class K2 loco
Ooh yeah I see what you mean - it was definitely close to his colour! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
true
That locomotive is a Swedish SJ B class steam loco with a top speed of 56 mph.
Thanks very much for the info on the SJB class! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)

Great day out Sam. But that looks like it was filmed earlier in the year
Thanks Manny - yes this was filmed in October!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Excellent video Sam. The Nene Valley is the closest preserved railway to where I lived in England in the 1960's/ 70's. Did You find Trains 4 U in Peterborough? They carry a lot of used model railway stock as well as new. I believe the blue loco is Danish. Cheers Sam, David.
I can't get them all right Sam, apparently it's Swedish. David.
Thanks a lot David - no I didn't find that actually, but I wish I'd known about it, hehe!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
Normally when a locomotive is out of service some parts are taken off and moving parts have thick oil
Ahh okay - that makes sense - quite a bit of that going on there!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I think that blue locomotive is from Sweden - there is one at the LWR
Yes I think you're right - others have said it was Swedish too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
The red 31 i just realised that's my uncles its from Lydney on the Dean Valley railway
evening Sam, I would recommend your next for you to visit the North Norfolk railway at sheringham, or the mid Norfolk railway. I have got some vids on my channel if you want an insight.
Hi Stewart, thanks a lot for the tip - I'd love to visit those at some point - hopefully I will do! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video mate :) looks like you had a great time playing about with the controls of that loco!! I love a good heritage railway, especially the north Yorkshire moors, have you been? All the best mate and merry Christmas---Ben
Thanks mate - ooh yeah it was great fun! Yes I think I have been to that one in the past actually! :D
Cheers Ben,
Sam :)
All the 31's were there for the 60th anniversary celebration of the class
Ahh okay! I did wonder why there were so many!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
