Celebrating its 100th birthday in 2023, this miniature goods engine became the inspiration for many locos to follow, even with its rather experimental POWERED tender, complicated valve gear and a rather sad but lucky fire escape...
This of course is also the basis for the Arlesdale Railway's Rex, created by the Rev. W. Awdry for The Railway Series book 'Small Railway Engines'. Do be sure to see the real River Esk at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria to wish it a happy centenary.

happy birthday River esk
Engines are turning 100 this year: Flying Scotsman River Esk Rex
Wirh Regards to "Rex" slipping a lot, i have to say, post-rebuild Esk is noted for its reliability. I travelled behind it pre-rebuild a while ago and it sounded tired. Post rebuild it runs like a sewing machine and is a credit to Ravenglass, Nigel Day and mister Van-Zeller who i believe was its regular driver for many years and who was sriver when I last rode behind it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy birthday river esk
I kind of almost wonder, with how Rex's basis was given a powered tender to work with heavy loads, that they might do something similar with Rex, when dealing with the wheel slipping problem.
Tiny steam engine, happy birthday river esk
NEVER OVERLOOK A LITTLE ENGINE!!!!!
4:10 Neat little Wallace & Gromit reference! I think I may have gone to the R&E railway when I was young, but I don’t really remember it. But since it has such a fascinating history, I’ll keep it in mind.

How the hell walks up to a train shed (drunk or not) and thinks, "hmmmm, yeah, imma burn the shit out of that"
Happy 100th Birthday to both River Esk & Rex
Happy Birthday to River Esk!
Wow. It's good to know the "big" history for this miniature engine. Nice of you to cover the history of this miniature engine.
Rather nice Ratty design, while i do like it a lot, its rebuild (2nd chassis on the tender) form was absolutely horrible, im quite glad a design like the original hasn't been done since. its lovely to see shes still around even after the arson attack, lovely video as well.
I live locally and was friends with the sister of the arsonist. Couldn't believe what happened.
Today I learned what the Mid-Sodor Railway was based on.
Great video, Max.
That flying scotman little little brother
You know, there are too many centenary’s this year.
Nice history on River Esk.
Happy birthday river esk🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Never overlook a little engine
Excellent video, likes from me !
Happy 100th Birthday, River Esk!! It's really astonishing on how a small miniature locomotive made it through in a century! It reminds me of an episode of NWR Tales about Rex the Small Green Engine sharing the same 100th birthday with Flying Scotsman, and how he got jealous and felt that his 100th birthday was being overshadowed by Flying Scotsman's fame in "Reckless Rex". 🚂🛤🎉🎊🎂 kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXuc3JNqcZzVqpc.html&feature=share7
Everyone remembers Rex Mike burt and jock except frank
River Esk is basically a mixture between Oliver and Rex
hopefully we will be getting RHDR 4. The Bug soon ☺
The wee engine is nae such a wee engine af’er all.
6:18 uh um yea what happened there
Why didn’t River Esk make an appearance in the railway series for that matter?
Woo

Nice episode, but can we get a full history of the Ravenglass?
I got to see the flying Scotsman the other day
