I have a photograph of this engine on a postcard from when I was little. Makes me happy to see it again after all this time!
Oh that's lovely
Lovely to see. My neighbor growing up helped run a standard gauge preservation railway in the US; the IRM. I remember many a day wandering the engine shops and touring the sheds.
Oh that's really cool!
Excellent! Puts a whole new perspective on it. Loved playing around with the camera!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Bloody love little engines like this! True workhorses, yet so charming.
Lots of character!
....(insert your choice of sentence enhancer here)....love it! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
If you lot ever find yourselves in Glasgow, give me a shout and I'll buy yous a round....or several! 😉😎🍻
I'll hold you to that!
Another great video Lawrie you do a wonderful job narrating this video .
Thank you very much
That is my name and it’s even spelled correctly and the hunslet is my favorite British locomotive and did not even know this one existed
Neither did I in fairness
I had the pleasure of driving Sybil Mary for the day at Bressingham a few weeks ago when it visited for our Gala
Oh lovely! It's a cracking engine
Wow what a great video on one of my favourite narrow gauge engines. It is a great way to see and explore an engine plus railway.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I love these 360 videos!
They're good fun!
Haha I can see me in the video, first time I've managed that!
Good work!
Thanks Lawrie, interesting new perspective/camerawork!
Glad you're enjoying it!
What amazing tech, it's almost like being there, but sadly without the smell of steam. Perhaps smelly vision will be the next enhancement! Thanks for the entertainment.
We'll send a bottle of hot oil with the next one!
@@lmm Sounds like a new line of candles is needed. Yankee Candle presents: "Hot Oil and Coal Smoke!" ...and for the mariners out there, "Diesel Exhaust and Salt Air!" Coming to a retail establishment near you! ...if only! lol
I was lucky enough to drive Jonathan when it lived at the West Lancs Light Railway in the mid 1990's, memory that I'll never forget. Personally it should have never left the railway as they kept it in fully operational condition, and was a joy to drive, for the last 20 years it has lived virtually unused on the owners private railway in Lytham. Hopefully Statfold can get this loco up and running and it be seen in public again. One thing I love about Jonathan is the livery, its fantastically different.
I didn't even know it still existed!
Looks Good, Was incredibly confused at first with the fact it appears there's no crew driving lmao
😂 😂 😂
That was excellent!
Thank you!
Are there any special precautions needed when pulling a steam loco that's not in steam like that? E.G. do the cylinders etc get their necessary lubrication?
@Emma Jacobs As Lawrie had mentioned, it was loaded on a flat car :)
@@crazyfvck but to further answer his question, if a loco were hauled a long way (probably longer than most narrow gauge) it would have its drive rods and valvegear removed/disconnected, otherwise you could only go slow and probably have to lubricate if its more than a short distance.
@@the_retag If you're only moving it a short way you can just open the cylinder cocks and release the brakes. You should probably still make sure all of the running gear is oiled before doing that though.
@@blockstacker5614 thanks for reminding me of the cylinder cocks
If it wasn't on a wagon, as mentioned in the comments, varies greatly on how far and fast you're moving it.
I saw Briomart and lilla together on the Ffestiniog once , it really does have a high pitch whistle doesn’t it , nice perspective of the ride 👍
It does indeed, glad you enjoyed it
I was at this event every time I tried to meet lawrie he magically disappeared lol
Sorry!
@@lmm no worries better luck next time
That is one small GP-39
Love gp39
ooh .. these 360 videos are cool
Glad to hear you enjoyed it
Hi could the picture be made clearer, as I like to see the detail on the engines and not a Blur . Cheers
Is that loco yellow or green?
i know Jonathan's brother Covercoat who is based in Cornwall
Oh yes, there's a few of them about
Lost patience with 3d view.
Sorry its not to your taste
Picture quality not up to your usual standard.
That's interesting, it should be 4k.
pirate ship? what pirate ship? there's just grass.
One tiny steamer.
It's a lovely little thing
