Back in the 1950s, British Railways was moving from Steam motive power to Diesel. The Eastern Region of the Railway decided it wanted to keep its Britannia Class Steam locos until it could acquire the more powerful, famous Deltic locomotives. This was down to the 'Brits' locos having more tractive effort than all other new diesels except the Deltics. The Brits could do 70 to 90 mph flat out. However, the Deltics would top that at 100. MPH.
I was born before WWll. My dad was a physician in the Navy off Okinawa and I did not meet him till I was about 6. We were independently wealthy. However my dad was a Czech immigrant and dirt poor till he was probably 30 years old. He bought me my first set in 1946 but he and a handy played with it the first night. But eventually I had a huge set with about 30 by 20 feet. With probably 3 engines running all the time. On a separate note. I used to raise and sell exotic birds I used to go to the Burlington depot in the 1950s and pick up all my seed and cages which I ordered by mail . It all came by Railway Express. I was our stations most consistent patron.
Thats a Bassett Lowke Royal Scot, and I think the coaches are Exley. Most certainly not made by Hornby. There is however a Hornby No.3 Royal Scot with Mainline Coaches shown in one of the cabinets earlier though around 1:22 Super video. Would love to visit. Stuart
Thank you for this rich, a excellent explanation. Running a steamer wide open off the reverser is a hell of a feeling, I’ve been lucky enough to do it myself. It’s amazing how responsive 1 notch difference can be. Hope to see similar videos and Walschaerts and especially Southern one day.
I love your train layout. As an old man of 87 I got a big kick out of the 55 Chevy getting an oil change and grease job. I also love F units. So glad I found this on You Tube. Great scenery too. Best regards.
Jim, I love your layout. Your rolling stock is right up, my alley. I especially like your Q2, T1, and Nickel Plate Berk. Beautiful bridge work, scenery, etc. I also love your C@O 4-8-4. Thank you so much for making this available
Great video, but why did someone dub the original audio with different music. Pretty annoying when trying to watch the video, and background music kept changing...
Its amazing to see how far the hobby has come. Modern Day Lionel Legacy engines details and add on extras just blow these trains out of the water so to speak. The other side of the coin here is what joe has is very simplistic and easy to run. Great video! I watched the whole thing!
When was this video taken? The resolution is so poor (even tho it says 1080P). It appears to have been taken at least 15 - 20 years ago. Or at least was shot using a camera that is 20 years old or more. Too bad.
This video was shot in the late 90s in Standard Definition (SD) video because there was no HD then. It was shot with broadcast quality equipment using an Ikegami HL79-EAL camera on Betacam SP tape and edited to a 1-inch edit master on a CMX 3400 editing system. Sorry you could not enjoy it.
