Caledonian Railway Preserved Locomotives

Preserved Locomotives of the Caledonian Railway
We take a look at two Caledonian Railway locomotives:
812 Class No. 828, built at St Rollox in 1899 - Based at the Strathspey Railway is seen at Bo'ness and Llangollen
439 Class No. 419, built at St Rollox in 1907 - Based at the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway is seen at Bo'ness, East Lancs, North Norfolk, Gloucestershire Warwickshire and Churnet Valley Railway
Also featured at Bo'ness are the Scottish Railway Preservation Society's (SRPS) two operational Caledonian carriages; Brake Corridor Composite 464 and a Third Corridor Compartment 1375.
While not featured here, a third Caledonian Railway locomotive survives at the Glasgow Transport Museum in the form of Caledonian Single No. 123.

Seeing that four-wheel drive tank engine pull six coaches always reminds me that steam traction was no joke.

I was behind 419 on my trip to Bo’ness last month

[@donaterdosi618]

Its good to see that the engine class that inspired my favorite Thomas characters is in good hands

[@robnewman6101]

You're a really useful railway.

[@piercesteven3730]

At the Busch gardens Williamsburg theme park in Virginia, USA, there is a loose replica of a CR Dunalastair 2, with dark Blue CR Livery, along with the engine being named Balmoral Castle.

You're a really useful engine.

Extremely well filmed. Many of us in Oz can't wait to journey again to UK, probably in 2021 by the looks of things.

As always great video. Enjoyed it. Carry on the good work 🚂

The real star is missing, caledonian locomotive 123 now in the Museum of transport in Glasgow.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

The dark CR blue is the most beautiful livery IMHO.

[@BrianSeaman]

Excellent round up of films - always loved the CR colour blue. Could it have been the inspiration for Thomas?

[@robertp-i4065]

i think garter blue or one of the variants of garter blue is more likely

What a shame that so few Caledonian locomotives have been preserved... I'd love to see a 492 or 944 running today

[@evanrichmon4994]

Well Tom don’t have to have shame because we might see New Caledonian Railway engine’s come in the future as British Railways are planning to revive steam

[@RTek1986]

It's really too bad that none of the Dunalastair 4-4-0s survived. Those were nice locomotives. Although the one I wish was still around would be one of C.R.'s 600-class 0-8-0 freight locos. I have a soft spot for 0-8-0s and the 600s in particular were... unusual. Look for a picture of one and you'll see what I mean.

But why the caledonian tender engine is 57566? Is 57646

[@robertojuarez959]

One of those two engines the one that is blue without tender looks a bit like Thomas🤔😅.

[@Gustavolagranlocomotora]

You are been confused thomas its not a Scottish engine it's a British engine and his base it's a LBSCR e2 class
And the caledonian railway 812 it's the same base of Donald and Douglas

[@robertojuarez959]

@@Gustavolagranlocomotora I know but its design reminded me of Thomas, it's not that it's the same model, it just reminds me🤔😅.

828 is currently under overhaul (fast track, boiler recently steamed). Bo'ness (home of 419) hasn't reopened yet... in fact they have been hit by landslips... donate to their appeal here: www.bkrailway.co.uk/emergency-landslide-appeal/
