Now we cover the prototype of the Midland compounds, including footage of it's overhaul at Derby and a few shots of it's first Rail-tour after haul.
The locomotive was then put on display in the museum of transport in Clapham, before, along with Mallard (which was still in BR service at the time of the recording) was sent to the National Railway Museum in York.
Footage owned by their respective owners.

I remember being on the footplate of 1000 in about 1961. Happy days.

Awesome archival footage. Clear and easy to watch. A great steam junkie flick.

Good shots inside one of the Roundhouses, Derby. (There were three, now only one is preserved).

I was on that SLS Special from New Street to York. I remember we stopped at Annesley and Staveley (and Mexborough?) Was it to York or to Doncaster? I loved the old ex-Midland 4-4-0s. With a load of 3 or 4 coaches they used to belt along from B'ham New St to Tamworth High Level c1954/55.

The only midland compound loco of 1000 is still here now on static display

The Midland believed in their steam locos. I hope UK workshops still adopt this approach. A non dogmatic approach to traction needs to be adopted. I am an electric fan but think all traction modes are valid.

I recall seeing the Midland Compound 1000 a special going over Tamworth High Level..as we where in the field on the Low Level {WCML} who knows it could have been on its last tour as in the later end of this film as it was about 1960 at the time of sighting

The field! Happy Days!
