The C-16s ran in the street in Baltimore, serving the dockside warehouses, thus generally called "Docksides". Like the wood block buffers on the Pugs, the C-16's had double jointed couplers to move cars around very sharp curves into warehouses.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway has one other legacy besides pugs. In 1878, their carriages and works division, based in Newton Heath, formed a railway works football team which they called Newton Heath LYR FC. The team, which played in the company's colours of green and gold, quickly became very good, progressing rapidly through various local and regional leagues to join the Football League in 1892/93 (and dropping the LYR bit). A decade later they changed their name to Manchester United FC.

"Ivor" feeling it would be popular. I'm here all week...

I've always loved the various pugs. For me, it's a combination of their adorable looks, and the fact that they can squeeze into the tightest of places. I've always seen them as the archetypical shunter as well, and while shunting is the least glamorous jobs, it's one of the most interesting and essential. For me, the Caledonian pugs are the first to spring to my mind, because of the Smokey Joe model and it's many derivatives, but any pug is a good pug. I particularly enjoy the images I've seen of Caledonian pugs with makeshift coal tenders, which I believe would make them the smallest BR tender engines, if you are willing to count such jury rigged things.

A lot of immigrants from northern Germany and northeast Europe to North America migrated using this line; they would take a ship from Hamburg to Hull, then the L&Y to Liverpool, and then ships from Liverpool. I guess it must have been cheaper than a direct sailing.

The British Aluminium (later Alcan) works in Burntisland (where i lived til i was 2 and where my grandparents lived) had two ...maybe three... small steam shunters which were called pugs. Always fascinated me on holidays in the 60s and 70s. ive no idea if they were the same class of locomotive but they lived on well beyond the end of mainline steam. The whole works has now gone and become a housing estate. Thanks for the memories, Jago

One of them survives at the railway in Brechin. Naturally in its auspicious position as preserved Peckett that worked in Scotland(seriously any want to name another?) They did the only smart thing with this slice of railway hertiage. They recently painted it as percy and left it outside for the elements to get their teeth into having had it in undercover secure storage for a long time. The other surviving loco from the burntisland system was left outside for at least 30 years to rot in the yards at boness, it has since moved out for a cosmetic restoration if I remember correctly. Both will most likely never run again because the demand for such small locos simply isn't there(the owner of the peckett owns another big 0-6-0 peckett which is down at flour mills workshop being restored according to the last I'd heard)

That is a cute loco! Thanks for showing us!

I adore little industrial locos like this. Pecketts and Andrew Barclays as well.

Thanks for sharing, in my opinion it is because their almost similar to a narrow gauge locomotive in size, which gives them their appeal. When you look at them in LMS & BR days their cabs are full of coal boulders & almost spilling out of the cab window these are way larger than domestic sized coal we were used to. I was quite surprised to see that some of the engines had plywood sheets covering the front part of cab opening to store more coal!

They ran a steam train from Brisbane to Charleville several years ago , which was a bit of a production , they had to have water trucks from each of the town and shire councils along the way as well as supply dumps of coal , it was a cool event though.

The Super Sentinel would be a good one too

I'm amazed something so small can pull all these coaches. It's a pug alright with such tenacity. And it is so darned cute. Manchester Victoria is an amazing place. It used to have the longest platform in Europe when it literally ran a platform over the bridge across the river to join up with Exchange Station. Both stations had hitherto been separate, separated by mere yards and a railway bridge over the river (Irwell?). But amazing doesn't stop there. It has some of the spookiest labyrinths of hidden floors and subterranean passages you'd never dream could exist, so cunningly hidden and concealed from public awareness, preserved in time, snapshots of industrial activity, ghosts of the past. There are many urban exploration videos from local Mancunians, and I totally recommend you seek them out.

If properly kept and restored/maintained, it's not some fragile explosive thing, it's a chunk of industrial iron built to take pressure and move. And it _will._ So the "risk assessment" means going through the same maintenance checklist that was last used before they were retired. Nut by nut, hose by hose, check, check and triple-check. And if it passes those tests? You have a working locomotive.

Off the top of my head, Juno and Swanscombe were our favorites to play on in the line of loco's and rolling stock. We visited there for many years, my last visit was shortly before my late Father died in July 1995. So I'm very probably overdue a visit soon!

What an adorable train!!

That tilework route map at Victoria station shows one location which is NOT a railway station - Ellerbeck Colliery. Incidentally, at one point you could buy a through ticket from Londonderry to Copenhagen, travelling entirely with the L&Y.

What a great little engine.

A cute engine indeed. It's a pleasure to see it in action, though it was a little worrying to see it hauling two full-size bogie carriages. :) There was a very similar engine at the Barrow Hill Roundhouse when I last went, though it had spoked wheels if I remember right, and was painted burgandy. It had this remarkable visual effect of being small and cute from a distance, but surprisingly large when you were standing right next to it, at track level, while still being recognizably small and cute for a steam engine. I found it a curious sensation.

kinda fun seeing such a small loco haul carriges bigger than it like that, reminds me of the rare times Queenslands oldest Steam loco in the A10 class number 6 did a mainline run hauling i think 2 carriges.

More? Yes please!

Well, you've done it again Uncle Jago. Slayed me with another FANTASTIC video production. Firstly about the influence of Lancashire and Yorkshire railways on the ascendency of rail as a transport leader, both for freight and commuting. Seems the north of England had it all, and wasn't backward about letting the world know. And the Pugs! they were truly cute, but early rail had a lot of cuteness to display. The locos, rolling stock, even stations. Even people may I add. How about coming up with the dome of the pugs being cundusive to cooking potatoes. How intuitive of a hungry railway chap. Had to chuckle when I saw the station identification sign...Bury Bolton Street. A lot of schoolboys would have worked that into a joke I'm sure.

Thanks for doing these videos. Love seeing how steam heritage is being kept alive. From the smallest to largest more famous engines.

Thanks, I'm hungry now. Need to track down a suitable potato.

I think these locos survived and have since thrived due to their looks, size and I suspect their ease of maintenance especially for smaller heritage lines. My favourite loco is Captain Baxter, another 0-4-0 that was built for the quarries at Betchworth on the north downs and now is at the Bluebell. That only recently hauled its first passenger train (needed a new braking system!) Always happy to see videos like this on your channel 👍🏻

When you started describing the railway, it immediately reminded me of the Pennsylvania railroad, they were very wealthy, the were very early to develop electrification, if the US needed it, the Pennsylvanian probably carried it, and some of their stations (mainly 30th street in phili, but also the old Pennsylvania station in New York City) really show just how wealthy they were. Although unlike the LMS, the Pennsylvanian merged with New York Central, and the New York, New Haven, and Hartford to become Penn Central… only to go bankrupt 3 years later… and then get saved by conrail which is owned by the government I believe

Conrail was created and owned by the US federal government until 1987, when it was privatized. Conrail itself was bought by Norfolk Southern and CSX and split up between them in 1999. Conrail continues to exist on paper as the owner (Called Conrail Shared Assets) of two small chunks in New Jersey and one in Detroit, which exist as a condition of the CSX/NS purchase. These 3 areas are heavy industrial areas with many customers, so the US government required that Conrail continue to own them and CSX and NS both have rights to use those areas to maintain some kind of competition for services. The problem with this arrangement is that CSX and NS jointly own Conrail Shared Assets, so it’s not much of a competition.

This was nice, thanks. I'd be more than happy to see you diversify into the steam railway scene, Mr Hazzard - there being more than enough heritage steam railways an hour or so from London to keep you busy making your excellent content. One of the sadder things about small locos in preservation, is that while they helped establish many a preserved heritage railway, they ended up being victims of their own success in this function on some of these lines - needing to be replaced by more powerful locomotives as passenger numbers (and coaches needing to be hauled) soared. Mind you, they are brought out for special services sometimes, and there it is a real delight watching small steam locomotives working hard, say, hauling a light freight demonstrator or a light 'Victorian train' up a gradient, such as on the Kent and East Sussex Railway at Tenterden in Kent.

Me and my daughter making a cameo walking past the wonderful pug. Brilliant 👏

Small is beautiful & does the job to a T.
