LNER Class A4 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley is a preserved British steam locomotive built by Doncaster Works for the London & North Eastern Railway in 1937.
The LNER Class A4 is a class of streamlined 4-6-2 steam locomotive designed by Nigel Gresley for the London and North Eastern Railway in 1935. Their streamlined design gave them high-speed capability as well as making them instantly recognisable, and one of the class, 4468 Mallard, holds the world record as the fastest steam locomotive. Thirty-five of the class were built to haul express passenger trains on the East Coast Main Line route from London Kings Cross via York to Newcastle, and later via Newcastle to Edinburgh, Scotland. They remained in service on the East Coast Main Line until the early 1960s when they were replaced by Deltic diesel locomotives; they themselves proving to be worthy successors to the A4s. Several A4s saw out their remaining days until 1966 in Scotland, particularly on the Aberdeen - Glasgow express trains, for which they were used to improve the timing from 3.5 to 3 hours.
Teignmouth is a seaside town, fishing port and civil parish in the English county of Devon. It is on the north bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign, about 12 miles south of Exeter. The town had a population of 14,749 at the 2011 census.

When I see this Loco it takes me back to my days as an engine cleaner then fireman at Crewe south sheds in 1967 now 57 years ago 😳, it was preserved at Crewe south sheds and I think David Bailey owned it then..It was a pleasure to clean this because it didn't go out on the mainline much and usually 8 of us cleaned it with paraffin first then an emulsion liquid and all by hand , its a wonder I still have skin on my hands, no plastic gloves those days.. The shed closed in 1969 even though officially it closed in 67 as we still had working steam locos until 1969...I transferred to Old Oak common and enjoyed my time there , but to see Sir Nigel Gresley running in 2023 is astonishing ...Hats off to the preservation societies it takes a lot of work to keep this type of steam loco active...
Nice piece of stoking! Fireman did really well!
Couldn't imagine a better location to see this sort of steamer soar right past you.
Excellent view that not even the GWR bi-mode passing at the end ruined.
Wow! Always great to see 60007. Interesting train too. Never seen a rake of coaches with a restaurant car and a buffet car in the same formation. Great stuff!
Thank you! and yeah it was a rare catch, was pathed as a Black 5 but then the A4 showed up so that was a pleasant surprise.
Brilliant location, great footage.
Uofiri udigi❤.

Ever since I was a young trainspotter in the late 50's A4's always were and always will be my favourite locos, there's just something magical in shape and sound.

2:41 👏👏👏🚂🚂
Colour me confused. People must have been able to hear that was Sir Nigel Gresley and they treated the event like just any old Goes to Wales Railway multiple unit!
Hallo my friend !

Have a nice day. ❤👌
Very good, sangat menarik
The best ever reason i gave forbeing held on a signal, outside of Victoria train station was, that we had had a platform alteration due to waiting for the Sir Nigel Gresley to get up a head of steam, prior to movement. We would now be going in onto track three as sng was on track two, on our right hand side. You could feel the whole train lurch as we went in.
I am curious but why in all vids of A4s pulling so they have a diesel at the rear? I know it likely has nothing to do with assistance as those A4s can pull more than that, but is it acting as a brake van or?...
I believe it is used to supply electricity to the coaches, can also be used to tow if the engine fails
Does it tow the diesel on the back as insurance ?
Partly that, sometimes to provide heating or shunting coaches at the end of the public journey.
It also adds the equivalent of 3 coaches to the load, so 15 on here, effectively. Impressive.
It didn’t whistle at me
It’s because there’s a whistle board right next to where i was standing.
Nice and nostalgic. Why is the route called Riviera, other than the obvious answer that it resembles the Mediterranean ones?!
Excuse my ignorance, by why the diesel on the back? is it pushing, being towed?
it supplies energy to the coaches, and yes in case of emergency it will be used to tow it.

Should be titled "The ENGLISH Riviera". The REAL Riviera is on the Mediterranean coast. I was so disappointed. I was hoping that the A4 was repeating the Flying Scotsman Tour, way back in history.
Which one. The French or Italian?
@@TC-qd1zw Historically or Alphabetically?
@@Demun1649 Sadly you are not funny are you.
@@TC-qd1zw There are two characters inferred by the use of the word, "Funny". I am funny, in a humorous fashion, great wit, great knowledge of history in order to make great jokes, even earned real money at it for a while between careers. And there is the other interpretation, meaning someone ready for a sectioning for the loony bin. I reckon that must be you? Don't worry about it, all your meals cooked for you, no dishes to do, but only one room for the inmates to relax in, and it serves smokers and non-smokers in that one room.
@@Demun1649 your not clever than. Self praise is no recommendation.
