These double header races are amazing. Could this hint at a massive double header race with multiple duos going head to head. Maybe even speed tests and crazy challenges
Aw man: I wanted Scotsman to win (perhaps if you used Mallard instead of UoSA, he might've). Still a very nice vid though, and yes: Scotsman and Tornado look quite alike. :) (It's been a while since I've watched your vids; what happened to your eye?? :l)
@ZanderTignor I know but Tornado had to be pushed pretty hard to get to 100mph. Maybe she could do a bit more but the A3's could only just about manage 108mph so given the Peppercorn A1s and the A3s are very well matched to eachother it's likely she can't go much faster.
But if u ever do see this Oliver, please do arace between the Union Pacific Big Boy n City of Truro, the Union Pacific Challenger vs. City of Truro, the Union Pacific Big Boy vs. Duchess of Sutherland, the Union Pacific Challenger vs. the Duchess of Sutherland, and the Duchess of Sutherland vs. City of Truro
And if u also get this one, please especially do a double header race with Union Pacific Big Boy at the back n the Union Pacific Challenger at the front vs. Tornado at the back n Flying Scotsman at the front
Tornado’s class, the new A1 Pacific, was designed by Arthur Peppercorn not Gresley. Also Dominion of New Zealand was scrapped in the 1960s, but her name plate was saved and used on the engine 4464 Bittern. Dwight D. Eisenhower (originally called Golden Shuttle) and Dominion of Canada (originally called Osprey) were renamed after World War II and both now reside in North America; they were donated as presents to their respective country across the Atlantic. Dwight D. Eisenhower is in the National Railroad Museum in Michigan and Dominion of Canada is in the Canadian Railway Museum in Montréal. Both are on static display.
I wonder if the saddle tank can keep stable while being pushed to its limit with a super class 47 pushing it just all the way down a very very VERY long straight piece of track
Oliver can you do a nother bog Race with the topic America vs England with all the biggest strengest and fastest Steam Lokomotives. And all on 100% power. I think that this is very interesting to see.
Was it based on which was the fastest A4 from the A4 races? Perhaps a different A4 would make the difference. Btw the A4 design shares with Bugatti back then.
Superb video Apparently dominion of New Zealand was Bittern. Recently probably a few years ago Bittern changed its name to dominion of New Zealand. Have a look on wiki or something reliable.
hey lazer jet you know how speed test and the jump are the most popular things you have on your channel? my friend wondered if you could do a speed test but with multiple trains running on separate tracks, like a speed test race race
