I still think this is the most evocative video you have done.. shut your eyes and listen to it.. it sounds like something from a 1930's movie just as you've witnessed a long soppy goodbye on the platform between two lovers..fantastio stuff!

This is one of the best Videos I have ever seen showing steam at speed. thanks

That real is shocking. SHOCKING! Best steamclip I've ever seen. By far. ☝

You're right..I must have been half asleep! It is amazing to look at a shot of an engine in the scrap yard then see the same one running this fast. This shot is special because it is the only one I've seen that reminds me of how it how it actally used to be...

Fantastic- THAT is why I love steam

thanks for that! The line is cleared for 90 mph running - and the points are trailing, not facing...the engine is a 73000 - a 4-6-0 rather than a 2-6-0 - 17 tons heavier, with 2,000 lbs more tractive effort - well, that's what the book says!

Now _this_ is what a passing steam train should be like... excellent!

o.k that was officially kewl as hell. great vid man!

He was haulin' ass!!! They may be more high maintenince, but steam will always have that little extra bit of nostalgia...

Wonderful. This is what preservation is all about!

Sorry to hijack, I am just trying to leave a message, but without luck so far: That was so good it brought tears to my eyes - excellent filming and thank you.

steam will always have that extra bit of awesomeness to it.

I wouldn't say he developed or improved upon others designs particularly. Just he combined the best of different engineers and schools of engineering together.

wow what a haunting sound those steam trains make

i do love this video

That was so good it brought tears to my eyes - excellent filming and thank you.

probaly my favourite youtube video of all-time 10 out of 10!! smashing whistle! smashing speed!

One of the magazines published a log - and the train was listed as 77mph through Andover - I have seen Tangmere through there a mile or two faster. The driver was Bryan Dudley Ward, who was known for giving it a go...but, I believe, succumbed to an illness not many months later.

That has to be one of the best clips of a steam train, speed, smoke, noise and smell (well almost). Could you re load in higher quality? 10 stars from me!

I'm gonna say it again... AWESOME!

Very nice video and a very nice sight.

Definitely my favourite.

That was an impressive steam train!! Thanks!!

126mph (200kph) is the record, but about 100mph would be achievable by most main line express locos. In the days of steam, they were limited more by track layout, signalling, more freight trains etc. Re: 'muscular' - There's a brand new UK steam loco called 'Tornado' which has just been built (based on a 1940s design). It featured on the 'Top Gear' TV programme, it did a 'wheelspin' at 75mph, pulling 10 coaches.

Outstanding video!

brilliant ... totally captures the magic

I checked on an OS map the bridge is 170 yards from the platform end, the loco takes between 4.5 to 5 seconds to travel the distance, that means it was travelling between 70 and 75 mph

Have to say that this is in y favourites and I'm watching again as I await delivery today of my Aster Gauge 1 black 5MT kit. Hope my build performs this well!

Brilliant video, you can feel the power of the beast in this one...

i do love this video 5x

Scottish Region (of the old BR) reintroduced steam first. They did it to help prevent the Fort William to Mallaig line from being closed (by far sadder bureaucrats in Head Office, London).

Surely it is dangerous to take points at that speed at that angle..did the driver know that was coming? No one would have thought a BR Standard 76000 would be the best steam clip so far on youtube!

Logged from on board at 77mph - just about to cross the Anton river.

Holy Crap! AWESOME!!!

Fantastic

This is my favourite. steam trains are a living power.

ok thanks for the info

They were a great class,went everywhere,and were very strong,the Caprottis in Scotland were especially admired by the old Stanier 5 crews....

@edj66 Sadly it dropped a left-hand cylinder plug on the Mid-Hants last spring, causing the cylinder to explode and about £200k damage. You may be thinking of 4MT 75029.

What kind of speed would a decent loco do? What about torque, I hear thay are quite muscular. How are thay mesured in terms of 'swept volume' ie cylinder capacity? I wish I could have been around in the days of steam, it would have been fascinating...

Wow, that was pretty fast! :-o

Wow! That made my hair stand on end!!

Reckon he's doing a bit more than 75mph there, lol, more like 85 :D

Christ almighty, that was insane!!!!! XD

wow that's pretty fast!

thats rapid!

Serious 'kettle' thrash!!

Wow.

True or not one of these in steam day's is supposedly have touched over ,100 miles per hour a wonderful locomotive these standard 5s

jesus that was fast!

Bet your favourite film is Oh! Mr Porter!!

wow

@0230179 I thought this engine was allowed at 75mph because of wheel diameter.

that cant be real... watch how the video speeds up just as the loco crosses the stilts of the bridge.

hey, thanks for that...it's luck more than judgement...on my part anyway!

Doing what it was built to do! No nicer site.

ah, Brief Encounter ! David Lean enjoyed employing steam trains - and blowing them up! I've seen better moments - 45407 lifting itself out of Falmouth Harbour station - but my battery ran out ! - and 'Nelson at Night' was surreal...it's definitely an addiction - a good fix goes a long way these days !

Was that a whistle or a cat being hung and electrified..

divide by 5 multiply by 8 so 123.2 kmh

Вот это телега:))))

wow, that was a fast one, thought it was going to run you over at one point! blimey!

@salemcripple some of the japanese hooters are pretty good too - look up 'Yamaguchi' - probably based on the American model. Mind you Stanier London Midland locos have a hooter - and one which you can hardly hear!

I think this engine is coming back possibly 2029 or 2041 mate

@willhayfield sweet, i'll have to check them out!

pressume it's not mainline permitted then anymore?

What is the speed of this train in km/h?

no its a BR Standard 5

It was 1927.

Oh yes...would that be the Churchward who nicked the French and Americans ideas?

it's just an opinion, but i don't care for the whistles on European steam trains. Their too high pitched and shrill for my tastes. Love the long, low, bellows of a big western steamer. The 4449 is auditory perfection to me :-)

You never heard of Oliver Bulleid son?

What do you mean by that?
