(Click Tongue) Nice.

The B12 pulling the teak articulated set on the NNR… this is one of the most beautiful train ensembles in the world.

I have a big soft spot for Great Eastern locos, and the S69 is one of my favourites (at least in its pre-grouping shape). It was the perfect expansion of the Claud Hamiltons and looked equally majestic in their dark blue liveries. Good thing one was preserved.

I love this series. You put a lot of research into it, bringing up often forgotten aspects of certain engines. The example here is Thompson being directly responsible for the 1930s rebuild.

Yes. Thompson was at Stratford at the time and everything was worked out, approval gained, but all incorporated on a single locomotive. The result was the successful B12/3 however as CME Gresley took the credit. A B12 also achieved the first 90mph on the GER at Diss. They were also utilised on Ambulance trains during WW2. This was due to their size and low axle loading.

Thompson was a far better and quite able engineer than people gave him credit for. Perhaps things would have been different with him if there hadn't been a war on during his tenure.

I would absolutely kill for a model in a GER guise w/ the Belpaire-esque shaped Firebox.

Aaahhh, love the B12/S69's... I really do wish we could've gotten an RtR model of the S69/GER condition of the locomotive in OO scale. Don't get me wrong, the newer B12's look fantastic, but I've always fancied the belpair version with the skirts

This Engine is by far my favorite British steam engine. And its not really a famous engine overshadowed by the other classes of the later LNER but now you've given it its time to shine. this was very "nice" documentary on the class and later variants of it. I even learned things about it I didn't know.

This is an awesone channel: really great graphics, looks so right. One of the nicest Claude Hamilton models was the old pre WW1 bing gauge 1 model.

Great video! The B12's are honestly one of my favorite steam locomotives, and I always love hearing more about they're history.

The B12 is a handsome loco, and I often run my model. I now live in former GER territory, and so it is a firm favourite. Thanms for naking shch an interesting & entertaining video.

They really do look good in any color. Very much like the ultramarine myself.

3:28 Here we have a GER s69 And here is toby :)

Can’t believe someone else remembers that joke. 😂

This is amazing i really like this sort of locomotive history videos with railworks footage

these locomotives always manage to look so picturesque. There's a reason i, as a Western and Southern fan, bought one before i got a bullied.

Ah yes, the B12. One of the most elegant 4-6-0s that thundered down the rails. Also, if you had to reinvent all seven of the idols in the Splatoon franchise as UK steam locomotives (I know that this is off topic but I still want to ask), what would you choose and why?

ah yes the best ten wheeler

PLEASE talk about the J36

I have a suggestion. Polish EN57, these are working since 1961 and are remarkably good and reliable.

Hello! i, uhm...would like to suggest a Locomotive class namely, the LNER O4...or the GCR 8K, or the ROD 2-8-0- well, its all of those, and its a class personally special to me, and a class i believe has earned the title of greatness, since...well, lasting from 1913 at least, to nearly the end of steam, and several going through war.

They kinda look like the Claud Hamiltons but with an extra pair of driving wheels.

What the top speed of B12?

Is 8572 included in this pack?

@mattseymour8637 As I explained, many of the English B12s were rebuilt into the B12/3 form. Regardless, the CW pack only models the B12/1.
