Australia's Great Western steam locomotive - Pendennis Castle 

"Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishman and Scots. Or Welshmen and Scots. Or Japanese and Scots. Or Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!" - Groundskeeper Willie

@@quillmaurer6563 Beat me to it.

That wasn't Pegglers fault-entirely-

@@jenncansell3432 I think it's because Pendennis was mostly owned by big companies and not individual people where as Scotsman was people which then drained their money pretty fast.

He is Gordon's cousin after all. High maintenance. Lol

Not really the engines fault I don't think. More business choices of the owner

Pendennis castle was owned by one of Australia’s largest exporters of iron ore. It’s future was guaranteed.

👌

Where's the video on the imported crane terriers?

@@primrosevale1995 well the nsw terriers weren’t imported

I mean, if you count the Peckett I guess... but most of the narrow gauge tank engines we have are American designed, Australian built. And two French designed, Belgian built.

AINT NO WAY IT'S MSTNOODLE

There are three if you count The Thomas Way.

@@ciarangleeson2880 The Thomas way is the wrong way.

Scotsman’s trip to Australia was successful

All the s100 engines: I am a joke to you. Just listen to my Texan accent

@@AdventureswithGeneral Don't forget the Staniers.... They been places

@@davidty2006 you talking the 8fs? They served abroad in the war.

@@AdventureswithGeneral Yes.

Don’t we know it!

Switch those around and you got it spot on.

With the recent conversion of an R-class to standard gauge it could even have Victoria represented too, lol.

@@Skasaha_ If it wasn't for bloody Sydney deciding "hurr durr no we go SG" at the 11th hour then we'd all be on BG or NG and not have these issues but Sydney's gotta be Sydney.

However, the GWR claim that the Castles were more powerful than the A1s per se was based on the spurious grounds of tractive effort. This only matters starting heavy trains from rest. The continuous power output at high speed is a much better indication. The Castles did have better valve dimensions than the A1s which made them freer-running and more economical, hence their victory in the 1925 comparative trials. Gresley put this right with the A3s (and later A4s like Mallard) and converted the A1s including Flying Scotsman to A3s. The Kings had a higher tractive effort than the A4s, but the A4s and LMS Duchesses produced maximum sustained power outputs well above those of a King, because boiler capacity and grate area also contribute.

@@iankemp1131 - Thanks for that explanation. The Kings, like Stanier's Pacifics on the LMS, had particularly challenging territory -- almost level across the Thames valley, and then up and down and up again through Devon. That's a challenge for any steam engine built within British loading gauge to do at speed.

@@pacificostudios Very true. It's an interesting question on many routes whether it's better to have the sure-footedness of a 4-6-0 or the bigger grate area of a wide firebox 4-6-2. Over recent years it's been possible to compare side-by-side on Shap or South Devon, and several classes from all the Big Four railways (and BR) have put in distinguished performances. Weather conditions can affect the choice as well!

@@iankemp1131 Weight limits were also a factor during the U.K. steam era. Apparently, the relatively weak bridges on the GWR bridges prevented Kings from crossing the Saltash into Cornwall.

@@pacificostudios Yes, the Kings had very limited route availability and had to be changed at Plymouth. For most tasks a Castle could do just as well, which is why there were never more than 30 Kings, while more Castles were built all the way up to nationalisation to a total of 171.

Mitchell and Webb did an amusing bit about the naming of NSW.

@@garryferrington811 whos the captain again?

The Hogwarts Castle is a Hall Class. Not a Castle

It’s spelled Montague.

600 vthree

Every other engine near of Duck: *Don't we know it!!*

we have a mix of standard gauge and a 1600mm broad gauge

Hammersly Iron (which is isolated from the rest of Australian railways), along with New South Wales and the line Sydney to Perth are all Standard Gauge ( 4 foot 8 1/2 inches - 1,435 mm) the same as UK. Queensland has narrow gauge and Victoria broad gauge ( except for the main line between Sydney and both Capitals) . I don't think either Pendennis nor Flying Scotsman traveled beyond the standard gauge

@@gold4leaf and then there is Peterborough with all three on the same stretch of track

@@cathli_fox are yes ... narrow, standard and broad .. a very unique place in Australian railways

@@katelights and narrow gauge ... Queensland and Puffing Billy in Victoria and parts of South Australia

@@FunAngelo2005 I know

I'm not sure, but there are 4 ROD 2-8-0's preserved in Australia

@@bskorupk no, sorry, I mean a GWR 2800

@@RHTeebs I was aware, but I couldn't find anything about other GWR engines being sent down under, so I looked for engines that resemble them

@@bskorupk Ah. Ok. I swear a 2800 went to Australia. It could have been Japan.

I suspect it has more to do with the fact that it was this particular engine.

Victorian engines were mostly built at Newport or Ballarat. Our final steam loco, the R class, is quite the odd one out and was built in Glasgow. Also, the ones that were built overseas were still usually unique classes, especially in Victoria with our broad gauge.
