I gotta give it to ya Sam, you never fail to impress. When I saw the thumbnail with the Mallard and the G2A, I lost it. The G2A was my most favorite to look at with the LNER B12 in second, the J94 in third, and the list goes on. The unique engines are the most interesting to me and I loved it along with the attempted recreations you did. Brings back a lot of nostalgia, good show Sam.
Great recreation trains Sam! I really enjoy this video! You should get a Bachmann Pannier in either GWR black or BR black. It would be a cool review to see
Hi Sam, autocoaches were used as follows- autocoach - engine autocoach - engine - autocoach autocoach - non corridor coach - engine autocoach - non corridor coach - engine - autocoach If more coaches were needed a second engine had to be added to the end furthest away from the other engine, and that second engine was used to drag the whole train in the opposite direction to the autotrain and was not connected to the autotrain controls. 2 engines, 2 drivers, 2 firemen and 1 guard to transport a few passengers a couple of stops, bonkers and losing money every trip. On GWR they were used to reduce the turn round time at terminus stations as no engine run round was required. I watched 3 videos about this earlier today and made notes, I'm not a nerd, I am a precise enthusiast, honest. Great video
Hi Sam. The second sequence was shot between Redditch & Evesham at Broom Junction & Salford priors. BR closed the section between the tunnel at Redditch & Evesham on 6th July 1964. The tunnel at Redditch and the fact that they had negligently run the track bed down contributed to their ability to justify this despite the fact that a New Town was planned between Redditch & Studley.
Hi Sam, A few notes regarding Autocoaches. First, the throttle linkages which connected the coaches and engines were handed, To connect to the engine and operate correctly, the coaches always had to be coupled to the engine with the driving cab on the coach always facing away. The linkage could not be made up with the cab facing the engine. It did not matter which end of the engine the coach was coupled to. Also to identify the odd looking Autocoach in the Roundabout film, that was a standard GWR non-corridor Brake 3rd converted to an Autocoach by GWR or BR (depending on the specific diagram). More often then not these were used in Wales. Thanks, Zach
Thank you for doing my local branch lines and yes the the Monmouth to Ross branch terminated at Monmouth Troy the pannier tank from later is from Chepstow (the line ran via tintern)
Here are the trains for 1960: 1 (Axminster Lyme Regis): LSWR 415 class №. 30583 (the preserved №. 488) pulls a single coach. In the background, a rebuilt Merchant Navy pulls the Atlantic Coast Express, and a West Country pulls another express train. 2 (Tavistock): Several LSWR T9s pull passenger trains. Another Bulleid Pacific pulls the Atlantic Coast Express. 3 (Barmouth): Two GWR 3200 class locomotives, or "Dukedogs," double head a train in Wales. They pass the Talyllyn Railway, where №. 4 Edward Thomas pulls a passenger train, before two class 4 4-6-0's take over. Both Dukedogs go "light" back to Barmouth. 4 (Perth): Pat and John went to Perth to film two Caledonian Railway Class 72 locomotives (also called the "Caley Bogies" or the "Dunalastair V"), the last 4-4-0 locomotives built for that railway. Good luck finding a model of the class 72 :p. Other locomotives that appear include several Black Fives; an LNER Class V2 (not 60800 Green Arrow); Thompson B1 61244; an NBR class S (LNER J37); a Midland 4F; a Caledonian class 439; an Ivatt Class 4 Mogul; and an LNER K4. 5 (to Aviemore): The Class 72's pull a double header to Aviemore on the ex-Highland line. A mail coach is at the front of the train. 6 (Spey River Line): GNSR Class F Gordon Highlander pulls two coaches. 7 (Newcastle): at the ex-NER locale a parade of LNER locomotives can be seen, including several J72's; a J21; a Thompson A2/2; an A3; a J39; and a J27. 8 (York): More LNER locos along with several designs in the National Railway Museum. Among them, there is an A4 (but not 60022 Mallard); a Peppercorn A1; another J72; a Standard 9F (probably not 92220); and the ubiquitous Thompson K1. 9 (Cromford and High Peak Railway): a former LNWR line with J94s picking up loaded wagons of limestone while "empties" make their way up. An LMS Kitson 0F and an NLR Class 75 can also be seen.
I have the DVD with the episodes of railway roundabout on it. Its a great watch especially the part when they show trains going up the steep hill at Bromsgrove in Worcestershire with a banking engine. I have another DVD on steam locomotives that show Bewdley station on the Severn Valley Railway in the early 1960's before they decided to close the line. Its amazing to see how much hasn't changed at the station and the Bewdley town itself.
2:25 due to slack in the throttle coupling, the lead coach could only be the 2nd vehicle from the engine. Hence sandwich arrangements with 3 or more coaches. Chris Eden-Green went into a lot of detail on this.
That one was quite nice! I’m pretty sure the pannier tank was hauling a different train. The colours of the coaches differ. Engines were overhauled about every 3 months or so just to check aal the bearings and the boiler and such. I’m pretty sure there’s a film called “general repair” which takes you through the process. That “industrious plant” was probably a coaling station, where locomotives would get coaled up in the morning.
That is fun! I am trying to recreate the train from the film "Breakheart Pass". It uses a 2-8-0 consolidation, a baggage car, kitchen sleeper, passenger and a couple of other cars with a caboose.
The issue with old footage like railway roundabout is it rarely shows the whole train, particularly with freight trains. This if this wasn't the case it would be even more useful to modellers as a primary source. 8:45 is a good exception.
This is what I do with my model trains purchases. I have many, many books and photos online and I find equipment that I see in the photos. The search is part of the enjoyment for me!
Nice recreations of one of the scenes or parts from Railway Roundabouts! I remember you did something like this back in 2018 I believe and I wasn’t expecting you to get around to doing this again! So far, nice recreations you’ve made with the scenes from Railway Roundabouts! They look really nice, especially one of the past steam locomotives from British Railways! 😃👍
Following restoration, 1000 was taken from Derby to the Wirksworth branch line for publicity photos, which I have copies of. My dad was the fireman on that run!
That was great Sam . I watched Railway Roundabout on the BBC when i was still a young child in the 1950's early 1960's . I think i must have seen them all at that time . We only had one channel Black and White television in those days. I now have the DVD's of them although the format presentation is not quite what it was at that time .
The Fort William recreation looks great 👌 the locomotive is a 'K2', derived from Gresleys K1 with a larger boiler. Peppercorn K1s were used on this route later so it makes a good substitute! Great formation with the fish vans Cheers
You’ve most likely seen it, but there’s a brilliant video on here of princess Elizabeth being overhauled in BR days. It takes you right through the whole process with the “well spoken man” narrating. He must have been very busy between 1940 and 1965!
Being a modeller of BR LMR 1958-1960 and a devotee of railway roundabout, I tuned in to your video with keen interest. I really enjoyed watching it! One thing Sam....those old Lima BR MK1's with LMS on the side aren't really accurate for any period...Also you need to get some ex Stanier coaches...both Bachmann and Hornby produce excellent versions. Their MK1's are also fantastic! Thanks for your effort with this, your videos are a ray of sunshine!
Nice video. The ex-GWR coaches behind the Prairie are a 'B' set, permanently coupled together and used extensively on minor lines. I think Hornby used to make them and they could do with releasing an updated version. I'm sure they would sell well to GWR/BR modellers. Cheers.
Nice one Sam. It's fun trying to recreate trains from videos or photos isn't it or even just trying to make up a formation that we may have seen at a preserved line.
This video is certainly up for people wibbling in the comments about inaccuracies, you have no idea how hard I am keeping myself restrained ;) (Gordon highlander is green and is currently on display at the Glasgow transport museum, sorry I had to wobble about one thing)
haha that's okay - I never claimed to be accurate, so there wouldn't be much point! ;) Ooh awesome - I'd love to go and see that! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
There’s 1990s rereleases of the railway roundabout by the national railway museum. They did programs of express passenger locomotives of both the big fours, and the British Railways, and one solely on the British Railways locomotives. Don’t know how long they’ll be up before the copyright claims take them down. Gotta take advantage of it as long as possible.
Hi Sam, nice video, we were lucky enough to have a tv set when I was a kid and I couldn't wait to see railway roundabout, bbc, children's hour, pat whitehouse presented it, great for us train spotters
In short : I do not like it, I LOVE it ! Reconstructing scenes from the past with today's model trains, that's really what I like. Especially by you. One idea : recreating barry's scrapyard with the Heljan Tango and the 1361...
You may not have been very accurate in recreating Railway Roundabout steam trains from 1959, but I liked it. Just be careful that wind turbine doesn't interfere with turntable movements, or James the Red Engine could get spun round like a top. Like he did in the Thomas & Friends story Tenders & Turntables, that is. I was trying not to utter two certain words, but I can't hold back any longer. Curse you, Sam! Thanks to you and your Resolven Grange engine, I've wound up finding the exact same engine and Overton Grange (pristine) in Chester Model Shop. They've been put aside so I can buy them. Plus, don't let this make your mouth water, a 00 scale Fish & Chips Shop is due to be bought by me. Fancy sharing some with me? Lol.
I enjoyed that thoroughly, Sam. More videos like this would be great, though obviously there are only so many that you can reproduce from your own collection.
Interesting video. Love the q6 shots, need to get one for myself (was running my super d earlier). Any loco, given enough power from a standing start, will wheelslip as it suddenly accelerates.
7:45 I agree with you there. I think Rails of Sheffield are making some 812s in Caledonian blue. Definitely on my wishlist. EDIT: As for a configuration, I saw a video of the last Caledonian, No. 828, at a steam gala hauling 3 to 4 LMS coaches. A very stylish combo, I must say.
I do like the passenger train with the fish vans I also how you tried to re-create shots of engines moving about sheds 11:36 I believe the engine in the film was a V1 tank engine 13:03 that shot looks amazing! you should put the camera there more often I actually tried to re-create a shot I filmed myself in Colorado with my HO scale trains. There was a steam engine on display, and a BNSF diesel passing it
The Railway Roundabout seems like a great show!! Only wish I could’ve been born long enough back to see it! Nice vid Sam, love the locos! (But not more than you!!) Thanks for making the vid!!!!!!! Seeya!!!!!
I'm not sure if you know Sam but by pairing up the Caley Single and T9 you were actually able to recreated a rail tour from 1963 in my neck of the woods albeit just under 30 years before I was born.
@@SamsTrains no problem Sam, I think there's some video footage of the tour on the Bluebell Railways TH-cam channel. Thanks for the reply, always enjoy your videos👍 .
Hiya @ 3:20 I have the very same Loco (with a few flying sparks from the wheels!!!), also @ 4:34 I have the Midland Compound in Red (Bachmann - Branchline (N. R. M. Model))

It's a nice change of pace; doing a little roll around with various engines like this. I hope that you do more :)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cheers,

I gotta give it to ya Sam, you never fail to impress.
When I saw the thumbnail with the Mallard and the G2A, I lost it.
The G2A was my most favorite to look at with the LNER B12 in second, the J94 in third, and the list goes on.
The unique engines are the most interesting to me and I loved it along with the attempted recreations you did.
Brings back a lot of nostalgia, good show Sam.
Thanks so much - really glad you liked that! Yeah the G2A is always really popular! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains always glad to make someone smile.
Nice video!
0:38 you forgot EDIT: Now you have done it.
2:00 the 14xx is facing the wrong way.
haha thanks mate, and good spot - you are right!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great recreation trains Sam! I really enjoy this video! You should get a Bachmann Pannier in either GWR black or BR black. It would be a cool review to see
Thanks so much - I would love to actually!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I subscribed
To both of you

When it comes to model train arrangements of Locomotives and cars imaginative comes into play as well

Like he did in the Thomas & Friends story Tenders & Turntables, that is. I was trying not to utter two certain words, but I can't hold back any longer. Curse you, Sam! Thanks to you and your Resolven Grange engine, I've wound up finding the exact same engine and Overton Grange (pristine) in Chester Model Shop. They've been put aside so I can buy them. Plus, don't let this make your mouth water, a 00 scale Fish & Chips Shop is due to be bought by me. Fancy sharing some with me? Lol.
haha thanks Kelly, appreciate your warnings - I'll be careful!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I enjoyed that thoroughly, Sam. More videos like this would be great, though obviously there are only so many that you can reproduce from your own collection.
Thanks so much - that's lovely to hear!! I'll do more if I can! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Interesting video. Love the q6 shots, need to get one for myself (was running my super d earlier). Any loco, given enough power from a standing start, will wheelslip as it suddenly accelerates.
Thank you! I loved seeing that Q6 too!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello Sam great video of recreating the railway roundabout. There was one I liked It was with the Adams radial. God bless 🚂
Thanks Morgan, glad you liked that!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very good and a great different video, well done , enjoyed this , and the tv Roundabout programs were brilliant.
Thanks Ian, they were amazing!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
7:45 I agree with you there. I think Rails of Sheffield are making some 812s in Caledonian blue. Definitely on my wishlist.
EDIT: As for a configuration, I saw a video of the last Caledonian, No. 828, at a steam gala hauling 3 to 4 LMS coaches. A very stylish combo, I must say.
Yeah they are! But at £200, so many won't be able to partake, including me :(
Very nice - that does sound fantastic! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Really loved this video. Would love to see more of these. Excellent video as always.
Thanks so much! I'll see about doing more! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thoroughly enjoyed that Sam! You got pretty close to all of them - well done!
Thanks so much - glad you thought so! :D
Nice change of video there, enjoyed watching those recreations. Wouldn't mind seeing another one in the future :)
Many thanks! More coming one day!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This was a fun showcase of old locomotives

Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains this is a smart choice
Well done Sam..enjoyed that. Almost perfect re-creations. Here's to 1960.
Thanks so much Tim, glad you thought so mate!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great to have this kind of video again hope you decide to do more of them.
Thanks so much - I'll try to do more! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I do like the passenger train with the fish vans
I also how you tried to re-create shots of engines moving about sheds
11:36 I believe the engine in the film was a V1 tank engine
13:03 that shot looks amazing! you should put the camera there more often
I actually tried to re-create a shot I filmed myself in Colorado with my HO scale trains. There was a steam engine on display, and a BNSF diesel passing it
Thanks mate, really glad you liked it! And duly noted on those - thanks for that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video mate! This was fun to watch you re create trains and footage! Great video as always! Wish I could do this, awsome video!
Thanks a lot Jordan, really glad you enjoyed it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
13.40 looks like the Kingsbridge Branch and I think Brent was shown just after, which was at the top of the Kingsbridge Branch
Ahh it could well be!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Sam is the reason why I like British locos and use British terms
Ooh good to hear that! :D
I really enjoyed this, especially where you try to recreate the same perspectives.
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I'm not sure if you know Sam but by pairing up the Caley Single and T9 you were actually able to recreated a rail tour from 1963 in my neck of the woods albeit just under 30 years before I was born.
Ooh really?! That's super cool - definitely didn't mean to do that!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains no problem Sam, I think there's some video footage of the tour on the Bluebell Railways TH-cam channel. Thanks for the reply, always enjoy your videos👍 .
That was really good to watch Sam, more please. Given me some good ideas.
Many thanks Philip - I'll do my best!! :D

3:24 that's the pannier tank I have. It makes massive squeaks though
