steam at it's classic best, if it looks fast thats half the battle

The railway enthusiast national anthem

But nobody mentions the famous tune. It is Coronation Scot by the English composer Vivian Ellis.

If you are a train buff ...this has to be in your collection....steam rules!

Even if you're not a train buff this stands out as one of the most beautiful machines ever built. I know nothing about steam trains but have always lived this design.

Always loved this piece, it was a real treat to hear it on the radio last week while driving into Ironbridge, Shropshire. All that history! It really felt like going back in time.

It makes you wonder if we would still have the LMS now if it wasn't for the war and the decline in services and maintenance that led to British Rail, which was never the same.

The train is in the York train museum its great go and see it

In the late 1970's--I commissioned a painting of this train by a well known Artist, who specialised in this subject. I could indulge my pashion then as I had no financial commitments to worry about. It is depicted as roaring through the Lune Gorge in Scotland. It still hangs on my wall as I write.

Today is the train's 75th birthday! We have the train's inaugural journey listed as having taken place on 5th July 1937. Happy Birthday!

the coranation class is my favorite streamlined locomotive. and also very elegant

Always reminds me of the steam train journey from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard. The romance of the railway, long since lost in most places under the crush of commercialism.

My Favourite 'Train' of all time. Yes I know,I do mean Train because the whole package was intended to be designed as one unit, with tender and all carriages designed and painted (either Blue and silver or Maroon and gold. It was the age of Art Deco and streamlining. All the 'trains' ordered were to have looked like this, but the War put an end to the whole idea of glamour, and these massive engines( the most powerful on British rails ) ended up like all other engines knackered by the war effort

Art Deco and aerodynamics - impossible to say where one ends and the other begins. The Coronation class and the Supermarine S.B6 are the epitome of this era.

A very lovely journey to a far away place.

Sure fire way taking me back to my childhood listening to Paul Temple Special Agent, One Desert Island disc for certain. Almost makes me weep for those lovely days of innocence.

A really lovely video, captures the brilliance of the streamlined Duchess' before they lost their casing. A superbly built locomotive, when Coronation achieved 114mph it did it back the other way and was in perfect working order to pull its next train. Mallard on the other hand melted alot of her components and need an overhaul after her record run. Just shows you ;) Nevertheless, its great to see both streamlined engines together in the NRM :)

On top of that the Coronation Scot pulled way more carriages than the Mallard on their trial runs

Yeah but Mallard went significantly faster? I like both engines but you can’t really say this one’s better with speed when it’s slower.

Thank heavens that all those photos were taken.!

LMS Coronation Scot is first tgv for era modern

Somehow big things in real life looks so cool smaller when just in front of you. Noticed the clarinet in the music. =)

such a majestic elegant locomotives of its time that served the west coast main line of the golden aged steam

BTW, if anyone's in Brighton (UK) on Nov 10th, we'll be unveiling and running a super-rare nine-carriage 1930's gauge 0 "Exley for Bassett-Lowke" version of the Coronation Scot train on our layout. The normal BL set only had eight cars, but we've somehow also got the missing ninth (the slightly longer first-class diner carriage). We think that B-L must have built it as a special order. We'll probably also have your very nice KZread video playing on a screen somewhere in the background ...

No streamliner ever will be as beautiful as the Mallard, ah well, nice locomotive. :P

great vide thank you

@captainkmanOFP857 to be specific the engine never used whistles that high in pitch. the whistles were very low in pitch (the whistle were called hooters). search duchess of hamilton on youtube and you should find something.

very nice music 😊

Further to--Not often mentioned is that, one of these Locos ---not sure which one---recorded a speed of 114 mph, which is not bad for such a heavy train. I've often wondered what the figure might have been if this LMS loco had been able to travel on the East Coast line that LNER's Mallard did. With its many miles of flat straight terrean, it was far easier to get up and sustain high speeds, than on the West Coast run with its steep banks and many crowded industrial areas to travel through.

It was 6220 Coronation herself attained 114mph down madeley bank and still accelerating !!!these machines were arguably the supreme examples of express passenger steam power ever to be built in Britain an LMS Princess Coronation 4-6-2.

@fjbutch thanks the locomotives seen in this video are the streamlined Coronation class locos. very different to mallard in shape but wheel arangment is the same

@1:00 Just noticed how much the ship is leaning over LOL

The last word in art deco. I think the fast train that ran between Sydney and Melbourne around the same time was modelled on this one. I can't recall its name but it ran for years until they changed to diesel. Nothing like the same romance, though.

Spirit of Progress although it only ran to Albury being on broad gauge and before the 1962 standard gauge line was added. Film from the launch ; kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXmqmaibl8_eqqg.html Inspired by the US Royal Blue sir conditioned train and NYC streamlining style for locomotives, but all designed and built in Australia.

I love a bit of art deco bro 🫶

What do you think about the streamlining on the Belgian Type 12 Atlantic steam train ? It's a much smaller one than the Coronation Scot, that drove between Brussels and Ostend, not a very long stretch, so no need for world records here, still, I quite like the design !

I’m here because Jago. Sounds like thunderbirds

Awesome! i didn't know that. Thanks for telling me :)

The theme from that terrific 50's/60's-era radio show Paul Temple w/Peter Coke & Marjory Westbury (as Paul's wife Steve). Great stuff! Called (as it says above) "Coronation Scot". By Timothy!

@ThomastheE2engine Appreciated...thanks :)

@erike3006 yes it is. what exactly does that have to do with the video? :P

Wow-how nostalgic - brings back memories of the late Art Deco period. edwil83

Wow

i agree the coronation scott is one of my favourat trains of all time as well also a little fun fact the guy who wrote this never intned it to by the theme for the coronation scott

I have nt seen the name-plate on any streamlined Coronation class engine actually saying 'Coronation Scot' only 'Coronation'. So was Coronation Scot the service or actaully a named engine. If so why not the full name on the name-plate? Tks.

@backonpro5679

Coronation scot was the service 6220 was named Coronation BR scrapped Coronation

@patrickward13491 no actuerly. it was becaus they were very diifficult to maintain with the casing on. see in you had to check the smoke box or bolier you would have to remove all the caseing. some steamliners made it in to the war but their caseing was removed during it

the BBC radio theme is diiferent. where did you get this and can I use it

Much different from the Mallard...or is it a Mallard ? lovely train....and great music too by the way....

@joeyvampirowellsteed that's because its lifting 108.5 tons of train

@MrDaiseymay yep. i wish the train had run for longer than it did :/

Haha that's awesome! To bad i don't model O gauge :/ thanks for that :)

@08600ng02shunter i agree with you but it doesn't completey ruin it. it still sound some what deesent, but it would be better with a stanier. and thanks :)

Great video, but do you know what ruins it? the Whistle at the Start! That isn't a Stanier hoot! that's a little peep! Liked and Faved non the less! :D

@TheFattHatt1943 to be honest i quite like it

@crazyracer12 that's from your point of view ;)

I some ways yes but in most ways no. even i know these don't look near as good as the A4s when Streamlined. But take the Streamlining off and you've got yourself a grand Loco
