Its a real shame that all these great videos on British steam aren't more popular

"And this is even more special, since the locomotive is Lord Nelson himself! Or is it... Herself?" I laughed a little too hard at that.

Amazing these Ivo Peters films, many thanks for sharing - one correction to the commentary, the 'one of the new generation' diesels, correctly identified as a North British hydraulic Type 2, is then wrongly called a class 29 - it was of course a Class 22, the 29's being the re-engined from Class 21 diesel electric variants also built by NBL but that worked mostly in Scotland. Clip at 32:24.

Absolutely fascinating

Thanks for uploading.

I LOVE 0-4-0 tank engines! They have a small wheel base so it was easy to go around tight bends and they are also strong for an engine their size!

You know..it's surprising that the Traction Engine and Steam Roller that Teddy Boston owned were the basis for Trevor and George of the RWS respectively...but Pixie wasn't for anyone

Pixie may have inspired Millie the Earl of Sodor's private narrow gauge engine? I understand Pixie visited a few steam shows while she was owned by Teddy Boston

It was not 'Neeshells" it was "Neetchulls", at least that's what my CEGB power station friends told me.

The video/film could do with enhancement by some experts like was done recently with WW1 film. However, we must be eternally grateful to those who had the interest, foresight, and indeed the money to do filming back then as it was horrendously expensive. (btw I now have a Grandson named Ivo!)

Why didn't Australia have their own Ivo Peters? I would've loved to seen videos of locomotives that are now static displays running enthusiast trains, goods trains, colliery trains or passenger trains back in the early 60s.

The sprightly 0:6:0T at 27:50 ( and a very well designed and fine engine it looks too!), looks like the ´big brother’ of one-time Guildford shed loco 0:4:0T « Ironside »!

it looks like Teddy loved driving steam engines

Yes I agree with that and I know Teddy Boston as he was the fat clergyman with the Reverend Wilbert Awdry taking pictures of interesting engines

Good video but think the brightness needs to be turned down a notch or 2 and stick the contrast up a bit. Can hardly see anything in the background. Just white...

+FinlayLavery303 This is an inherent problem with transferring analogue video to digital format. The original video would have been shot using the best available equipment of the day which has obviously been surpassed by current advances.
