GAUGE THE ISSUE: Flying Scotsman (The Movie One) 

As well as a reinstatement of his original channel.

I agree was a great video

I hope we get a redone version in a couple of years metioning more info On Alan peglar and the flying Scotsman bus

He did, But I am waiting for the follow-up when he looks at Scotsman's Australian tour.

It's a funny bit. I hope you're proud of it

Hilarious my dude no worries 👌😅 I'm now famous haha!

Angry Welshman’s Panniers are D*cks

Edit: I definitely did see clips of this movie on a 2013 documentary. My dad still has it recorded on his TV and thought it was still new.

or anything else technical for that matter......

To me it sounded like a TTTE Ringo Starr narration clip

Sounds like mine actually 😂

It sounds like Tom... because it is Tom :P

@@DDJP that was you the whole time?! All these years I thought it was Rhys. 🤯🤯🤯😂😂

@@Spud607 noap! Twas me!

Hi Geoffrey, Chris was there on the Sunday as he's posted a short of the 7 header :)

@@cofffffee Oh wow really, can you send me a link please.

I believe the film is called No 13 - (from memory) and has some of the most awful model set work ever to come out of Pinewood or Elstree studios. You don't even have to look closely to see the guide rail steering, and possibly powering the model Green Line coach as it races alongside the train!

The film is called ‘Number Seventeen’.

Not correct, the GNR and ECJS were using them in the late 1890's along with Pullman /Gould gangways.

And the GWR Dining rakes of the 1920s

@@ChristheXelent interesting, I thought knuckle couplers was an American practice but United Kingdom railways using knuckle couplers, that’s interesting facts to me

Well here in the states, all mainline Class 1 railroads have PTC (positive train control) equipped locomotives and mainlines, and it basically just will take over the train if you go too fast or run a red signal, and mostly all steam locomotives (except the ones owned and operated by Union Pacific) are NOT equipped with PTC or anything to connect to a diesel locomotive that does have PTC, which is why you would see a steam locomotive being moved with a diesel in front, the two Union Pacific steam locomotives don't technically have full PTC, they have stuff that can interact and take control, but a diesel locomotive is needed inorder for it to actually work because the steam loco doesn't have the hardware and software onboard. And insurance is insanely expensive, mostly incase of a derailment or some issue with the locomotive, and people getting in the way and getting hit because they're not thinking. Without the insurance however, no railroad or private group would even fire up their locomotive. Idk about Europe, but I'm thinking it's probably something similar, just without the PTC stuff because their steam locomotives basically have all the stuff for their somewhat similar versions of it.

Apparently a swing link on one of the carriage bogies (trucks in US) succeeded in catching the angle cock of the brake pipe on one of the leading cars and pushing it shut. Don't know what kind of brakes they have on the New York subway stock, presumably its the modern 'fail safe kind, where a break in the pipe applies the brakes?

also, if you ever need a high resolution copy of any of my thumbnails, you can just ask

I would agree with Chris; there was a second engine pushing from behind, with couplings and, most importantly, brake hoses done up. Scotsman, in all probabliity wasn't even coupled on to allow the stunt to be pulled; the clip from 'The Train', which is the only convincing, believeable and genuine time a moving train's been uncoupled in the cinema shows how it would have to be done in reality - compress the buffers to allow the screw to be slackened, then lift the link. Otherwise friction imposed by the load won't allow it. Same with buckeye couplers - and the old link and pin type, so beloved of Western movies, would be even worse to try and undo.

@@JohnDavies-cn3ro I know a little about western railroads and depending on the age of the rolling stock you could uncouple and let stuff roll away as long as there was no through braking. And Im more talking about signalling arrangements to stop the second loco or speed it up/slow it down etc. Heck for all we know the shot of it against the skyline could be sped up in post

Would that film be ‘Number Seventeen’?

@@WHOKAY25 yes! Actually has both real loco and a mock up set if I remember rightly.

I loved to watch the “Number Seventeen” for an exiting scenes of an LNER A1 no. 2547 Doncaster racing with a Bus, another Alfred Hitchcock movie named “The 39 Steps” 1935 features a Gresley’s Pacifics A3 Pacific no. 2595 “Trigo” and the other A3 in the background, the movie also features an LNER Gresley K2 Locomotive.
