City of Truro is the oldest engine to have run with a main line ticket, at 110 years old. The next nearest is Flying Scotsman at 100 years old.

I live only about 45 minutes from the EMD Assembly Plant in La Grange Illinois, near Chicago in the U.S. I traveled to the UK this summer and spent some time train spotting. It was great to see the Class 66 in action but I had no idea that it was an American design based in the venerable SD40, which I’ve seen plenty of times, with some being built not far from my home! Mainly the Class 59s but some 66s were built at the La Grange assembly I think. Keep up the great work! Cheers from Chicago Illinois, USA!🇺🇸🇬🇧

2 weeks ago I saw a 66 with a female driver

As far as I know every uk Class 66 has passed through Peterborough or Ely or March unless anyone knows different?

Can you imagine if Flying Scotsman went on tour in Latin America? What would that be like?

I feel like Im the only American railfan enthusiast who loves the Flying Scotsman because its the only 4-6-2 A3 by Gresley, I am such nuckle head over Gresley's 4-6-2 Pacifics just like my favorite railroads in America, Rio Grande, Santa Fe and Southern Pacific. And I don't think she doesn't deserve the hate, and I don't care what other people's opinions, and I still loves trains today, without Flying Scotsman the train world wouldn't be the same.

Why is MTR not allowed to operate this line soon? Any big problems?

Apart from the English Eletric Lightning fighter plane, and the Vulcan bomber I can assure fellow fans there is no sound on earth like multiple class 66s at full power (Run 8) hauling heavy freight on the ECML early on cold crisp mornings on the fast straight from York to Darlington. No idea what they were hauling or where they were going but I'll never forget that noise that shakes the air you breath.

Just a quick correction to my knowledge: Thameslink also does occasional services to Kings Lynn, which makes it the most northern calling point. (Kings lynn is only slightly further north than Peterborough is).

I do wonder if Southern will transition to these cases to replace the 377s

I find all haters' (are they train enthusiasts, really?) reasons ridiculous.

It should be considered strange to hate a (steam) locomotive because of its cost. For ex., about 60163 Tornado, "The original 49 Peppercorn A1s were built in 1948 and 1949 ... at £16,000 each." (Wikipedia) You gave the cost of Tornado, built in 2008, it's 3 million. So what? Let's hate each new loco? Ridiculous.

It’s strange how much I actually like these trains now they’re going to be removed in the near future

Anymore UA-cam Videos planed for the near future ? I really enjoy watching them!

These trains dont look something like from 2009 it looks so modern

Hi there my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Transmission Train fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including rebuilding most of the brand new refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine, Gardner 6LXCT Engine, Leyland TL11 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Leyland 510 Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner LG1200 Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507’s Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's with a Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearboxes and converting and that will also be including building most of them into a Two Carriages and Three Carriages per units of the Class 507’s Class 313’s, Class 508’s Class 314's and that is including those Class 315 Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Transmission for all of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train fans out there PLEASE. Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project? Class 507, Class 313, and Class 314 will be rebuilding the brand new Class 315 Diesel Train fans out there Pretty Please?

in my opinion, the 225 Class british mainland LNER replacing Intercity 225 sets are renewly was resently out of commision and got scrapted in the same year 10 new Tri-mode train. I could be fairly honest, im just a railfan and phototogepher as well myself you will be impressed, But This is my favorite locomotive of the Intercity 225 sets and flying Scotsman.

The class 465, 466, 707, 700, 376, and 377s are my local lines I see and travel on every day

When Something Is New It Will Replace The Old Thing That Was Once Used Like Steam Trains Which Replaced Trevithick Trains And That Replaced Horse And Cart And When Something Becomes New In The Future These New Trains Will Be Replaced With The New Ones And I Bet In The Year 9999 Pod Trains Will Replace Robotic Future Trains.

How do you book tickets for the class 91 set?

What location is that @4:32?

Class 66 belongs in a scrapyard.

66734 cab was saved and became the simulator cab for driver training at the Gbrf facilities in the uk

I preferred the flying scotsman in apple Green, or is that just me

66001 is really 66002 and vice verse 😉

SCREW CAF

Great video! I never knew why some train enthusiasts disliked the Flying Scotsman. Your explanation really made it clear. For anyone interested in more British railway history, I recommend checking out the Hand Drawn History playlist. It's full of great videos!

8:41 All I got is that I own the Flying Scotsman which means I want to make it my new daily driver and keep it for myself

I SERIOUSLY DO ACTUALLY WITHOUT ANY SORT OF SIGN OF DOUBT TRULY ❤ THE FAMOUS SOLE-SERVIVING DONCASTER BUILT L N E R CLASS A3 PACIFIC (4-6-2) TYPE OF STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY TENDER LOCOMOTIVE DESIGNED BY SIR HERBERT NIGEL GRESLEY HIMSELF THAT'S OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS THE FLYIN' SCOTSMAN!!!

Shame you didn't mention YIWU special 66 136

😍😍😍😍🥰🤩

I also agree, the cost is a despicable thing about the Flying Scotsman is the cost.

The Flying Scotsman is awesome, I just don't like the way it's designed. I feel like maybe it could look better with an American British design. China-esque.

I like the 465s and the ones that I caught today was 465007 & 922. The contrast between them is interesting it isn't months between the age of the units but years. After I went on one of the newest of the 465s that it's the oldest on the Southeastern fleet a class 707 number 707023 Citybeam took me to Charing Cross. Anything beats the class 345s today

Thank you for a very informative video.

most depressed class 40 diesel locomotive :( 4:56

Visited the Battlefield line and had a great time. ELR is my local line.

Not bothered by it,find it "vanilla",really. I'd prefer to see a Class 40,but each to their own

I drove the 66202 today in dijon. Good video

Some of the Standard fives had Caprotti valve gear.

Fabulous, can't wait to ride it in two weeks. See you Elizabeth Line! 😊

Been their many times and well worth a visit.
