10:45 Can I touch it, I'm gonna touch it (Bit of valve gear fall off) I'm not gonna touch it Also how many more foreign Duncans do you think this man will find
As a Portuguese myself I am very happy and honored that you chose my country of all countries to visit and see our railway artifacts. I did go to the museum a few years ago and I can see it hasn't change one bit (minus the tender without its engine in the roundhouse). Funnily enough the green diesel shunter inside the museum is technically a BR Class 04 just modified to be on Iberian-gauge. Iberian-gauge is the gauge that is used here and in Spain hence its name. And funnily enough the eldest engine on the museum was built in England. Tho mind you, most if not ALL of the engines here in Portugal are from other countries. Portugal never built any locos as far as I'm aware. I hope you're able to maybe comeback one day to see the "Linha do Douro" (The Douro Line). It's the line where Portugal's only operational steam engine lives and works at. I really hope you enjoyed your stay in the small country that is Portugal and I hope Portugal treated you well. And again, thank you so much for visiting my country. P.S. Don't worry about our road laws. They're safe. Some people just drive the way they do in big cities :)
As an American, I love watching these. Got into through the Thomas stuff , stayed for the real world stuff. Succefully have made me fall in love with most of British railways (not BR , just the individual railways) , but now I gotta add Spanish and Portuguese rails to the list
Another fantastic vlog video. It's always so cool and interesting to see your trips to other Railways. We get to learn about the engines that worked there, what kind of railway related operation they have, and the environment around them. Plus those silly Macaques. And interesting to see a real life Tidmouth Sheds at that railway. Keep up the great work and take care!
that'll possibly increase the chance of getting a large audience of viewers and people from Brazil, due to that fact Brazil has a much larger population than Portugal, but also because it is one of the most populous countries in the world. However, let alone the Portuguese would have been such a group of people, who would have been the real derivation of many Brazilians alike. Nevertheless, Portuguese is widely spoken too.
The screw thing on the running plate of the engine is a slide jack. One screw to lift the load then the other one to slide from one side to the other. Never used one, but I can see it would be really handy for re-railing.
Hey Stepney, funny that you did exactly what I did last October.. the railway museum of portugal is amazing.. there is a video on my channel of the miniature railway running when we visited and went on it.. also the trams are amazing aswell! Did that to the end of the line when we visited portugal.. amazing machines!! Great video! From the cheeky engine (met you at awdry extravaganza 😊)
14:55 I don't know the name for that either, but it looks like a traversable jack. Like you use it to jack a train up, and then use the other screw to shift it over back onto the tracks. Quite useful I imagine
14:46 This is a transferrable weight. The screws are for shifting the engine's centre of gravity and axle loads horizontally as well as vertically; it was somewhat commonplace in Europe and Scandinavia back in the days when engines and rolling stock were still relatively light. The weights would be moved on their screws depending on the weight of the train to be pulled or shunted: Light fast train = less weight on the driving axle(s), centre of gravity shifted to the front, Heavy trains = all weight onto the driving axle(s), centre of gravity shifted towards the rear.
@terrier55Stepney I was just watching your video of Flying Scotsman whistling, and it got me to wonder if you can answer something I've been wanting to know for some time. What are the whistle patterns in England? For example, here in the USA, two long toots means going forwards; three long toots means backing up; two long, a short and a long is for the crossing warning; one long toot means entering station. The only English whistle pattern I know of is a long toot, two shorts, and another long to call for a helper engine (banker).
Interesting question, I didn't realise the different codes for the USA. In the UK I don't know of specific whistles for most of those. Three long whistles is typically a danger warning, one for general warning or acknowledgement (responding to a hand signal, whistling for a crossing or announcing a movement). 2 short whistles typically indicates to the signalman that a train is clear of the points so that they may be changed. There are some preferences for different lines. For instance on the Talyllyn all up trains use one long whistle ahead of a blockpost and all down trains 2.

Incredible video!

I believe its a Rerailing Jack.
Harrogate at the Statfold Barn railway has one too.
apparently not many locos still have them

Yea ❤
14:46 it’s a jack, they just put them on the running plate at all times, just in case.

10:56 Edwards Exploit 😂
It's nice seeing the Portuguese locos getting some love, my favourite has got to be the D. Luíz with the royal train
portugal!! i can tell you had fun!!
Cool
You should visit the Dutch Railway Museum once. It's very interesting
3:03 Aww, small doggo!

10:56 the drop 😂
4:54 quick head, somewhere else, like the island, sodor
Journey to the real Tidmouth Sheds

0:28 going down,next stop right to the bottom
If you want to see more trains, come to South Africa we have a lot 🇿🇦
I think you should go see lady Lisa the belgian tram at the lavender line

This is a transferrable weight.

The weights would be moved on their screws depending on the weight of the train to be pulled or shunted:

Heavy trains = all weight onto the driving axle(s), centre of gravity shifted towards the rear.
Ding ding!
Trains are great, but it's nice to mix it up with the occasional tram.
5:10 Hey I visited Portugal & Gibraltar too, in November of 2023
Going down next stop right to the bottom
Portugal and Spain use Iberian Gauge, 5' 5. 21/32". Just a tad narrower than Indian gauge of 5'6".
Hey max what happened to harry fenchurch also what is happening with the new layout

@@Terrier55Stepney What you said is still a good help. Thank you for the info.
Viva Ronaldo
Wait until you see an NS 6300 class tank engine of you think that is a huge tank engine 😂
Max says we are not in the uk british track layer in the back ground
hey i want to go there
First Also #Stepney 😊
16:02 don't you mean a buffer-cure?
😂😂😂 5:35
It unfair how steam engines have lost their privileges to pull local trains instead they only pull passangers
second I guess?
