Chris I have no idea if you actually read the comments. But if you do, I can’t see what your video has to do with “foam”. I am really hoping that you’re not trying to introduce another unwelcome Americanism into our vernacular.

I have to say, the Fitzwilliams are more aesthetically pleasing than the austerities. The industrial types also generally have a lot more variety in naming and liveries than their mainline counterparts, which can make them a lot more charming on heritage railways, not to mention some have become synonymous with the lines they operate on now (take Coltness No.1 at the Bo'ness and Kinneil for example).

Condolences with Casper, losing a pet friend is always sad. The merit of small industrial locomotives is that they can be more fun as they can be worked harder on the average preserved railway. While they may be too small for the longer railway running 7 or 8 on like SVR or WSR they are the perfect size for the 6-10 mile line during the weekday running pulling 5 coaches. The Austerity is fine with even 6-8 on not to steep inclines and too long distances. And yes, I know all about failing injectors because of warm water, in my case it was a tender engine but it had been 30-35°C all week here in the Netherlands and the injectors are the lifting type, so they have even more difficulty starting. We had to pour buckets of water over them which turned the enclosed cab of our Swedish engine into a Finish sauna! But eventually we got them going when we had less than a cm of water in the glass, all the time prompting the driver to minimise the use of steam. Fusible plug failure or dropping the fire on the line avoided.

RIP to Casper, sorry for your loss. Great video here Chris. A lovely little set of classes of engines. Really interesting to hear the history of the class and their relationship to the "Austerity" tanks. Ridden behind a few of these. Regular performers on some preserved lines back in the early days and still now after so many bigger engines have been returned to steam. Well done.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your cat. Losing a pet can be tough. I really enjoyed this, another extremely professional and entertaining video. I have a soft spot for industrial locos, which probably stems from the steam engines that used to toil at the colliery where my dad worked. One of them was class 57(8750)xx #9600, which is still with us and makes an appearance behind you in every Gauge the Issue video 😊

If they did, then I'm happy to stand corrected. Just that every source I could find, including Don Townsley's big book on Hunslet works, seemed to imply that 'Fitzwilliam' was the prototype design but ordered around the same time as the first 15" ones.

Rest in peace Casper. Cherish those dear memories with him Chris, whether you find a new feline friend or not. As for the locomotives, these Hunslets are like the ideal look of a british saddletank. The proportions are just right, and the perfect look for a small heritage railway, much more so than the austerities. They just have a ton of charm. The single surviving 18 inch loco, Leslie, actually went to my home country of Denmark in the past, back when it was a Thomas replica with sidetanks. Not exactly the brightest spot in its career, but its not often we get british rolling stock here. Especially saddletanks, as weld tanks were far more popular in my country. 2 of the only saddletanks in the country are 2 small Hudswell & Clarke 0-4-0's that were used by a heating plant in Copenhagen. So there is just something so distinctly british about saddletanks.
