Penny Darren NO! Pen y Darren Phonetically Pen er Darren Pen = head, and in this use Head of the Darren = The river that runs down the Darren Valley to Caer Philli. Doen the Taff Bargoed Railway in Railway jargon. If you are going to tell us 'History', then please research and get the pronunciation right,

Fun fact I own this train, my uncle bought this train and saved it from scrap back in the 60's for what we call £1 today, him and KWVR plus the grants help restore this beautiful machine. Sadly my uncle died back 2005 and in his will the train was left to his brother (my dad) who also passed away in 2013. So since then the train has been in my name for over 10 years now. It was a shame to see her 10 year era end in 2018, she even was used on a TV series where they derailed her and ""blew the engine up"". I'm so glad to see her back on the line again. Here's to another 10 years running 🍾 Oh also if people don't believe me Google daves joke book under bellerophon for KWVR.

So, the valve gear's a mystery

Apparently for the Rocket 150 celebrations, there were hopes to Return Cornwall to steam, however such hopes were dashed when it was found the boiler was in such a state, the BR Boiler inspector put his hammer through the front ring of the boiler barrel

Hay Anthony. When was the Midland Railway Battery-Electric shunter built & it is scrapped? If so when? Please respond when you get this please.

Very nice video ❤

I helped to restore No 7 & 19 at Bo'ness railway in the past. Great engines.

Great video on the Armagh Rail Disaster. It's tragic to hear about the lives lost, but it's good to know that it led to important safety regulations. If you're interested in learning more, I'd also recommend checking out 'The Armagh Rail Disaster, Ireland's Deadliest Rail Crash' by Hand Drawn History

As a singer once said "Hell in damnation, the western train was at the station, she'd been there a quarter hour or more"

Alfred Horlock was my great great grandfather.

I have enjoyed watching this again. I am not surprised by the success and growth of the channel. This effort makes it clear how difficult it is to make a model of such engines. For example at what point in their life should it be based on and why? Maybe we should be grateful that manufacturers simply try to make models of them. There are so few of both of these. The models seem to me mostly to have only recently appeared (Perhaps Anthony you have helped this in a small way.). They are not helped by the limited information they have to work with and the need to make a profit. As a model railroad person I wish we had more examples which were both accurate and affordable. As well the necessary materials to make a convincing layout of the period would be wonderful.

I have watched this before. It is a most enjoyable experience. Informative, detailed and certainly interesting due to the intriguing history of the engine. This time in the development of locomotives is incredible for its speed of development and variety of ideas. A certainly critical time in the development of transport and civilisation as we know it today.

Would you be willing to talking about the first Norris locomotive

Remember this loco at both Chatterley Whitfield Museum and Foxfield Heritage Railway.

As someone who lives in Victoria, it is interesting to see one of our products featured on this channel!

In all your readings on railway history have you come across any data as to the impact the improvement on speed had on passenger numbers for the respective railways? Always wondered how much these rivalries and the publicity around these achievements really boosted the fortunes of those involved.

😞👍🌠

Captin Dick was the 1st and greatest puffer maker of them all. A booze up with Captain Dick in Camborne would be a good trip on the first Time traveller machine probably be made in South Wales.

1893 10 years before the Wright brothers not even a generation between the two

Use metric units.

Anthony I have watched this effort before as I have with more than one of your impressively informative pieces of work. I am still learning and am amazed at your detail which I have not yet seen elsewhere, perhaps because of the distraction of fancy production or simply lack of detail - research - effort (which is more likely). I find it very hard to find information on the early engines and their creators apart from the famous ones. They deserve their notoriety but others deserve a slice of this cake too (for our understanding and appreciation), You in a way are their voice and our teacher. As a retired teacher I am impressed by your efforts for us. Keep up the great work. The shame for me is the very limited numbers of models for model rail modelers to enjoy. I do agree with Stephenson based on the information I know about Novelty.. You have added to this more than little.

Sooner rather than later..... well, we have a long way to go yet, but this sure would be epic! Lovely stuff! 😁

As soon as I saw Odin I instantly thought 'Patentee', but then 'Where are the valve rods on the LH side?' Is this the last version with the 100 PSI boiler, and does the valve gear have adjustable cut-off.

We miss you man. Come back soon pls

Excellent thanks

I reccomend you cover "Josephine", a narrow gauge 0-4-4-0 double fairlie locomotive from New Zealand, and one of the oldest surviving engines in new zealand

No maori would of come up with this idea

The wheels have some ferocious wear. A working life of fifty years is amazing for such an early locomotive AND to stay original.

I wonder if the replica can be recommissioned for the 200th anniversary?

Hi Anthony, the Science Museum has an engraving of the Moorish Arch from Henry Booth, looking form the east towards the tunnels. Two passenger trains stand on the track towards Liverpool and one lonely small engine with a big flag on the parallel track. As the other Rainhill engines do not seem to match, is that Perseverance?

@AnthonyDawsonHistory I have a cool video idea that hasn’t really been talked on UA-cam that about the types locomotives you talk about. Do you want to hear it?

Sounds like 60 RPM.

First time I, Bev Pardoe, have seen this. Well done Anthony.

0:27 Yes, we really want you to "sed shome light" on Sans Pareil...

If my arithmetic is right, 60 mph on 8' drivers (~25' circumference) comes to about 200 RPM. Impressive enough to get those masses moving at those rates.

I am a huge fan of the British single-driver locomotives, so elegant. Of course, the design had not a chance on the rubbish American roads )not calling names, I'm native Californian).

I can't imagine what it was like for the crew to be running at speeds up to 60 MPH without a cab to shield them from the wind and weather.

Thanks for describing one of incredible pages of railway history!

50 psi, 8.5" piston diameter, 54" stroke length, at 5 mph with a wheel diameter of c.48" (based on the drawing key and visible gear ratios) means an engine speed of approximately 35 rpm, and a total estimated output power of 31 kW (42 HP). Damn. EDIT: If the wheel diameter was closer to 2.5' as shown in the second drawing, and the engine had "a few strokes per minute" as described, then the engine speed was likely closer to 90 rpm and the output power would be closer to 100 horsepower.

Wouldn’t Twin Sisters have technically been the first loco to be fitted with a double chimney?

5.5 ton axel load on rails designed max 4t? Did they decide the rails could actually handle more?

Guess railfans can't have nice things across the pond, either. Progress: forgetting where you came from.

I love the video's Andrew, please keep them coming. Lion captures the history of an age and while it might not be the Lion built in 1838, it is the Lion named in 1924 and for the last hundred years it's been a part of our history, and so we should perhaps settle for the know fact that this engine may not be the original Lion but it certainly is an engine called Lion which commemorates an age of innovation and of skills which is lost today.

We could revisit the very idea of who invented the railway locomotive and look into John Fitch and the claims and evidence around his small working model. If we permit the claim of the Aeolipile the claim of the first steam engine with caveats around it having a use beyond interesting novelty then we may depending on what has or hasn't been established need to provide the same acknowledgement towards Fitch over his model.
