    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.

    Hello I just had say this, yes Scotsman can be officially be first steam locomotive to achieve 100mph, but it was not first man made machine to achieve that top or high speed. This cause in 1903 an experiment electric engine in Berlin was recorded to have top speed of 130mph way before Scotsman was conceptualised. I’m personally un-decided on Scotsman as I haven’t got chance see it, but I at moment I do consider it to be money flying pit as I’m just following the crowd. However, I’m sure the day I do see it would slap me in face and make me change my decision.

    Thankfully, the IC225's won't be going just yet. After LNER retires them, there's a possibility they might be going to a new open-access intercity operator named Grand Union, but that plan's been temporarily suspended indefinitely, and they're going to use Voyagers and Meridians instead for the time being. But the MK4 coaches will be staying for a good while yet, as they could be transferred to TFW or Chiltern in future.

    Well, i drive the Class 66 here in Belgium for a german freight operator, amongst the fleet of BR186 Traxx, BR193 Vectron, euro 9000 (class99), type77 (belgian loco), ... My opinion is that its interesting that fans are so enamoured with the class. It has a certain romanticism i guess with the noise and the presence, but after you spend 6 or so in the small, unergonomic and poorly ventilted cab with the huge 2 stroke screaming in your ears because you're almost constantly going flat out, the romance quickly fades away. I don't dislike it at all, but i prefer the more modern comfortable electric locomotives from a driver point of view as they are way less tiring and demanding on me as a driver. Can't beat the song of the big 2 stroke though 🤭

    My opinion on the Flying Scotsman is the same for all historical locomotives; those which can be saved should be preserved, even if they eventually become static musuem pieces. After all, it takes a huge amount of time, effort and resources to maintain these machines, meaning that it's understandable that not every part is original. Case in point: Stepney, an A1/A1x "Terrier" locomotive which will be 150 years old next year. Are all the parts on that famous locomotive original: of course not. Does that detract from its history: in my opinion, no. As such, the fact that Flying Scotsman is still operational is an outstanding achievement and I think that, in many ways, it's a blessing that people are more than prepared to ensure that it's preserved for the benefit of everyone here in Britain.

    Since you did the top 10 BR Standard class steam locomotives, can you maybe do a top 10 for Great Western, Southern, London Midland and Scottish, and London and North Eastern Railway steam locomotives?

    7:43 BR Green is actually Deep Bronze Green, not Brunswick Green. I believe Brunswick Green was the colour used by The Great Western. A lot of people confuse the two, including me for a long time.

    The absence of the East Lancs and Watercress lines is unfortunate and flawed the video as a whole.

      Thanks for your comment - both are fantastic lines, but this is a Top 10 video and there are always going to be tough decisions to make as to which lines make the grade - you could quite easily argue that taking any of the 10 lines out of the current video would detract from the video moreso.
