History of the LNER Y6 tram engine ~ Older Sister to the J70 (Obscure Offerings Ep. 11)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Y6 is one the more obscure LNER steam locomotives (in stark contrast to the A4 'Pacific'), and in this video I'll be discussing the class' simple but interesting history, mostly using footage from Train Simulator (similar to my video on the GWR 44xx class).

Outstanding rail history using CGI animation. I was in Auckland NZ 1969-71. I remember riding the rails in NZ.
It's also worth mentioning that one member of the class, 7133, actually partook in the centenary cavalcade of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1925

I found that footage earlier today, while I was doing research for the NER 1001 class.
Good vid,nice balance of audio vidio. Thumbs up.
I wonder if the Y6 was the first ever steam tram locomotive that placeholded several other trams to be built afterwards. Every class of every fleet of railroad locomotives in the world is ought to have an original prototype that was a test experiment, and then later an exact result of companies wanting to build other types of locomotives built off from that prototype. I find it very intriguing and fascinating that the steam tram engines are the coolest fleet of railway machines ever built, and that I like watching videos of them to expand my love for trains even more meaningful.
Excellent work on this little history lesson! Do you think you’d be able to cover the J70’s as well? Just to compliment these ill-fated Tram engines. Again, absolutely loved this video!
Omg its toby hennrietta
Bells were fitted to give warning as bells were considered to be less frightening to livestock and horses used on the roads. Fire engines in rural areas were still using bells into the 1990s.
Love the Video! Thanks for utilizing my Y6 to help make your video, it was a nice watch - nicely done :) Please do more hope you like the loco! :)

I do have another mini-documentary w/ TS footage coming soon, but it's about a strange US diesel rather than a British engine.
The LNER actually classified these engines J70. According to the LNER's policy, anything classed 'J' would be an 0-6-0.

It was used in a farm country, in the fen marshlands, and so containing the cattle could be problematic.

That's the Esthwaite Branch. It was available on UKTrainSim, but the site was shut-down last year.

Hi there. What route(s) did you use for this video
Sorry, I didn't quite understand that - where do you get the route from or is it in the package of the Y6?

The Y6 is a standalone locomotive pack, and I used a few different routes for this video: Western Lines of Scotland (from Steam) Crabenmore Branch (from Steam Workshop) The Esthwaite Branch (from UKTrainSim) Lavender Line (a UKTS Freeware Pack) Isle of Wight (from Steam) Bessemer & Lake Erie (from Railworks America)
