  • Just a little bit of fun. Did a couple of (rough) calculations and worked out that this is how LNER A4 Pacific steam locomotive no. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley would be like if she was doing 100mph in steam days. Sir Nigel Gresley holds the official post-war speed record for steam traction of 112 mph on the 23rd of May 1959 with an SLS Railtour, and even though her sister 'Mallard' broke the official world speed record of steam of 126mph, Sir Nigel Gresley is in revenue earning service on the main line and can be seen for all generations to admire.
    I hope you like the video. Feel free to like, comment, and subscribe for more Steam action from Full Steam Ahead.

      75mph is the maximum permitted speed for a preserved loco on main lines. Tornado did a 100mph run with special permission.

    All those track formations don't look 100mph. And Sir Nigel is only allowed to do 75mph. Only tornado was allowed to to do 100mph at night with mk3 coaches. Fake film. So sad..

    I've always felt the Mallard 126mph speed record is not right. They broke the engine doing it. surely that record should not count. A german steam loco did 125mph without trashing it's bearings.

    • @itzmespencer
      @itzmespencer 6 місяців тому +4

      It still got to 125mph, melting the locomotive's bearing doing so doesn't matter

      If you were in a running race maybe you didn't get to the finish line! no point in having a fast train that does not reach it's destination. @@itzmespencer
