5:04 I actually like that Darth Vader breathing-like sound while No.7 was chuffing, it sounds like the engine was struggling with the train and taking deep breathes to keep on puffing
As Edward Thomas was built to the imperial system, whilst No.7 was built to the Metric system and modern design, so the chimney on No.7 is wider then Edward Thomas's chimney, creating that "out of breath" sound on No.7
@@Steam_1402 Hmm that doesn't account for the a fact its beat/timing sounds awful and it sounds remarkably like its got valve blow or bad rings. Its a good job the green one was able to pull it around!
@@hedgehogm6203 No.7's beat and timing is perfectly fine, along with its valves and rings. It only sounds like that as on No.7 (again, being built to the metric system) has a much stronger, singular beat compared to No.4 due to it's cylinders being bigger. From the cylinders being much bigger, more steam has to travel into them, allowing slower piston strokes at low speed, and again, creating the "out of breath" sound it does with one loud beat at the beginning (along with the steam being flushed out of the chimney, not shot). And whenever the regulator is opened and steam travels to the cylinders, which ever one of the cylinders the steam reaches first, becomes the dominant cylinder in the beat and will always be the much stronger and louder "1" in the beat, as the 3 other beats of steam from both of the cylinders are again, flushed out. It's similar to 3 cylindered locos with steam getting to the middle cylinder first and that becoming the dominant "1" in the beat.

Great to see both Edward Thomas and Peter Sam running together on the Corris...........
That solar panel shed look cool!
Great to see our friend Steve No-shoes doing a drive-past in his MG, Bluebelle :O)
Superb video, a real bonus of a sunny day!!
🇬🇧💕🚂 thank you so much!!!!!
excellent quality, thanks for sharing
Lovely MG.
Very nice 👌👍😊. I really must push the Corris Railway higher up the 'to do' list!
It must be so weird, going back to your office and finding that your replacement is a near-perfect duplicate of you!
They should also built a similar class of Sir-Haydn for the Corris
They are. You can donate to the building of it here: www.corris.co.uk/the-future/falcon-locomotive/
@@preservedrailway And they should name that locomotive Hughes Falcon, and #4 Kerr Stuart
Super good video :)
I've always wondered, why does Corris No.7's chuffing sound so much like its out of breath compared to Edward Thomas?
As Edward Thomas was built to the imperial system, whilst No.7 was built to the Metric system and modern design, so the chimney on No.7 is wider then Edward Thomas's chimney, creating that "out of breath" sound on No.7
How many years and decades are between them?
@@toyotaprius79 Edward Thomas was built 100 years ago, which is why they're having these celebrations

When did they open up the left hand side of no.7's cab?
It's been like that for the season to avoid crews having to squeeze past each other.
The guy in the signal box at 0:36 was that a prop or a real person
Has the extension work stopped? Seemed to be going well last year.
No, they seem to be putting out regular updates still.
Thank you. Will do some detective work.
@@boblovell5789 first place to start would be there website, with pictures from extension in September www.corris.co.uk/news/
Isn’t number 4 from the tally lyn railway
It is indeed, I'm travelling behind it and Corris number 7 right now as part of the Edward Thomas 100 Gala at Talyllyn
@@preservedrailway noice
Pity slate does not burn ha
Peter Sam
Edward Thomas is now stolen
the engine has not been stolen Edward Thomas was just visiting his or her old home
