SCRAP OR SAVE? Steam engine gets the cutting torch!! Southern Locomotives attack 34053
Amazing Restoration. The work that is needed is immense.
@@donlunn792A lot of work indeed but we love a challenge! So much so that we are restoring two identical locomotives at the same time. This one is named Sir Frederick Pile 34058 the other is named Sidmouth 34010.
I remember some years ago reading about a Fireman on Bullied Pacific’s. Apparently Bullied Pacific’s were difficult to fire. They had a supervisor on the footplate. The Supervisor asked the fireman is there anything that you would like to see on the footplate.That would help ? He replied,Yes, bloody Bullied.
Amazing that there are so many locos awaiting restoration. Seeing Barry scrap yard many years ago. Never thought so many would be saved. Thanks to Dai Woodham and his team. Amazing that Dai had the foresight to realise that heritage railways would become a big thing.
Wonder how many modern people know who Keith Park was!
What year will 35025 Brocklebank Line be restored to working order?
YES 100%
This was our first video, as of June 2024 it has 73000 views! Please comment below and let us know which one of our locomotives is your favourite and why. We now have many railway videos for you to watch and new railway projects already being filmed for you so make sure you have subscribed to the channel so you don't miss out on a new video!😊
Fascinating.❤
What about 35022 Holland America Line, 35009 Shaw Savill and 35010 Blue Star? When will they be restored to working order?
What year will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile, 34010 Sidmouth and 35025 Brocklebank Line be restored to working order?
My favorite Battle of Britain class is 21C166 Spitfire and it was considered a candidate for preservation in the 60s but 21C123 Blackmoor Vale was chosen for preservation because it was in better condition than 21C166 Spitfire
Will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile be running on the mainline after being restored from scrapyard condition?
Hi Shark30006 . If your lucky enough to be at the Strickly Bullied event on the Swanage this weekend pop along to our stall at Corfe Castle Station and have a chat.
Will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile, 34010 Sidmouth and 35025 Brocklebank Line be mainline certified upon being restored from scrapyard condition?
Hi Shark. We would love to have a loco running mainline. There is a lot involved in making this leap. Mainly the extra funding required. If that was forthcoming then other barriers just become hurdles to leap over.
It would be nice to see them stretch their legs on the mainline. The extra finances required to make this happen would need to be secured .
I would love to see 34058 Sir Frederick Pile in working order one day
Fred recieves a lot of attention every week.
Will 35025 Brocklebank Line be mainline certified after being restored to working order?
Possibly.
Will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile, 34010 Sidmouth and 35025 Brocklebank Line be mainline certified?
Possibly.
Will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile be mainline certified after being restored from scrapyard condition?
Hopefully. It would be good to see it stretch it legs.
When will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile be restored to working order?
We currently have 3 loco's under restoration, 3 under overhaul and 3 in steam. In a world where finances rule priority is normally dictated by whatever loco is closest to getting back into steam would be inside the works at Herston. That loco when steaming brings home the bacon to help its stable mates to progress further and also pay for past and future repairs. Thanks for your questions
I would love to see 34058 Sir Frederick Pile in working order for running on the mainline
Did you buy the locomotive? Or someone else did.
Southern Locomotives Limited are now the owners of 34058 Battle of Britain class Bulleid light pacific Sir Frederick Pile. You too can become a shareholder in Southern Locomotives and help in its restoration back into steam.
What year will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile be restored to working order? Will it be mainline certified alongside its classmates 34067 Tangmere and 34046 Braunton?
When will 34058 Sir Frederick Pile be restored to working order?
Are you subscribed to RAILWAY MANIACS ? It's free!
What a great idea. Maybe sandblasting those threads and the rest would make the job much easier for you, if you can get access to one of course.
Thanks. Good question. Sandblasting was an option that we considered early on as it would have solved that problem but the clean silver finish would give the souvenirs a very "new" look about them that would take away the "old" look that we were hoping to keep.
@@railwaymaniacs7392 Good point. 👍
Make ideal steam locomotives. Wheels, boiler and some flat parts for cab and so forth.
Oh yes!!
No gloves when using bench grinders!
Noted!
We are lucky that Bullied classed these locomotives as mixed frieght/ passenger when they built in wartime As there were severe restrictions on Express engines and as such a large number of Merchant Navy and West Country class still exist
A fantastic loco,brilliantly restored and in fantastic condition,will travel a long way to see it when I can
A very welcome sight!

When will 35025 Brocklebank Line be restored to working order?

Nope, I love steam locomotives
Good man👍👍
This channel has made me realise I need to get hornby Battle of Britain class
You'll need to buy two then, one a rebuilt and the second an unrebuilt. We love them both❤️
I think I’d have to get taw valley and squadron because I’ve seen them in person
Also which version of the engine do you like the most rebuilt or original
I have been a shareholder for many years and would say this is a very good place to put your money. Things get done!
Do you have a favourite loco?
Dont let Hoskin get his hands on any of em
Why? He restores his locos and carriages to a very high standard and runs them on the main line.
@@rodhewsonyou know about his politics do you?
@@alantraish3368No. But as long as he cares for his locos and let’s others enjoy them, rather than locking them away, they don’t concern me.
@@rodhewson ignorance is bliss i guess eh?
Quite so! What get worked up about something you can do nothing about?
I like 257 squadron it ran on the K&ESR.
It fitted in well at the KESR.
Maybe a lapel microphone would help with the sound quality. The RODE branded ones are pretty good.
Good info, thanks very much, but I could do without the 'presentation'. Instead, voice over images and quietly spoken, is always more restful to the ear. If I wanted to listen to a sergeant major, I would have joined up.
This group is the jewel in the crown of all of the Bullied locomotives restoration groups.
Thanks for the lovely comment. We have a good bunch that enjoy working together and getting things done. We only sit still for tea and biscuits!
Another very interesting video,wish I could help but I live miles away,will follow avidly
We have volunteers from all over. Sometimes we need to shout out for some help of some kind that you could help with. It depends on your skill set. It's not all about being on site and engineering. If your interested contact via http//:www.southern-locomotives.co.uk
That Bullied exhaust beat never to be forgotten
Manston does sound great!
@@railwaymaniacs7392 it is such a soft exhaust compared to a New South Wales 38 class in full flight. They are beautiful engines though. Maybe, one as originally built could do a tour down-under like Flying Scotsman. Wouldn't that be something.
My favorite has to be Manston❤ But it’s great to see all these locos coming back to life. Even if I am more a GW/LMS man.
What do you think of how it looks at the moment?
It's nice to see in her current livery and condition. Gives a younger generation a little idea of how our steam locomotives finished their service for B.R. Also the only member of the SLL fleet that could carry the Southern railway livery as on Blackmoor Vale on the bluebell railway.
@@railwaymaniacs7392 I think it’s great to see her as she would have looked in service. She looks as a working loco should in my opinion. Just a question is she artificially « weathered » or is this her « genuine » external condition?
@@forrestrobin2712Good question! I have partially filmed a future video that answers your question in detail!
@@railwaymaniacs7392 looking forward to that!
I keep seeing some other interesting railway vehicles, what are they?
They are from Finland.
@@railwaymaniacs7392 interesting
Like magic!
Thank you! Cheers!
Work in progress not only includes the loco's but also the videos! We are working on improving not only the sound quality but also the presentation 😊 Please comment below on what more would you like from our videos.
