- Let's rivet count the Great British Locomotive Collection issues 1 to 10. This OO gauge authentic looking steam and diesel trains explores the most amazing locomotives used in Britain. Examine the amazing pioneers of the early 19th Century machine age and the development of the steam locomotive, through to the present day diesel and electric machines that replaced them. The Great British Locomotives magazine brings an exciting series of collectable highly detailed models. Each 4mm scale 'OO' model comes with its own dedicated magazine, packed with history and facts about the most amazing locomotives ever built. Collect them all to build a superb encyclopaedia examining the history of the evolution of Britain's railway locomotives. Impress your mother, impress your girlfriend but most importantly impress yourself. Just be very careful if you can afford such an extensive collection of beautiful model trains. Finding out all the facts to how many is in this collection and total cost of collecting is not that easy to find. I wonder why?
To get an insight into how the transition to Diesel and Electric trains halted the steam era keep reading on. 1968 was a decisive year of change for British Railways.
The steam locomotives of British Railways were used by British Railways over the period 1948-1968. The vast majority of these were inherited from its four constituent companies, the "Big Four".
In addition, BR built 2537 steam locomotives in the period 1948-1960, 1538 to pre-nationalisation designs and 999 to its own standard designs. These locomotives had short working lives, some as little as five years, because of the decision to end the use of steam traction by 1968, against a design life of over 30 years and a theoretical final withdrawal date of between 1990 and 2000.

I remember seeing theses models in the shops. I've seen people use them to fill the background up, less expensive way to make your loco shed look busy or good as scrap models.
The class 5MT Steam Train is also known as ‘a Black 5’.
Henry The Green Engine from Thomas And Friends is based of a black 5!
This is perfect timing as I am going to my first railway show today.
Evening star was the last steam engine ever built by British Railway( until tornado,which was a peppercorn A1, was built in 2008 )
At 15:31 note the Amtrak engine on the bottom left of the page. Seriously, an AMERICAN train in the Great BRITISH Locomotive Collection??

Interesting fact, when Flying Scotsman Loco was removed from serves, the Flying Scotsman Express was taken over by a Deltic diesel for some years.
Hi leokim, my son is 3 and a half ... Here is a message from him "leokim I like your videos. I like mallard. " ... Pretty much your his hero and his favourite tv star! Congrats. The leokimvideos are bigger than any show in our house. We've watched this one in particular about 1000 times. Keep up the great work mate!
Remember seeing this video a few years back, and it's great to see it again! I wonder if these models are still easily available, though I've seen online that it stopped after issue 41, and you can only find them on eBay. Can anyone confirm?
The black 5MT Class locomotive is the locomotive that Henry the Green Engine from Thomas & Friends is based on, just a fun fact.
1994 Wooden Railway Gordon cool very cool
Henry is a black five
I like some of these models, I found the Deltic fairly impressive for it's cost, and I could imagine myself fitting a motor bogie in there.
Also, the surviving K1 is named 'The Great Marquess', a name so long that doesn't really fit on the smokebox!
The one
surviving k1 is 62005 but the one surviving k4 is 61994 great marquess i have worked on both quite alot
Man I wish we could get stuff like this in the united states..
Fun Fact: The City Of Truro Locomotive makes an appearance in a Season 3 episode of Thomas & Friends.
Trainboy7 I already know it. It's where Gordon is jealous of City Of Truro and think he can go as fast as him. He loses his dome on the bridge.
Trainboy7 1. I know........I as well wish there were high quality US locomotives. 2.The episode Its Gordon and the Famous visitor .
+EarliestBook49 domeless engines
Trainboy7 then they got rid of the model and it hid in the backround as a scrap heap,
I think they were just a tad lazy on that model in that episode, they didn't even bother to give City Of Truro a face!
That "battering ram" is actually called an Archimedes Screw that carried the coal to the firebox so the fireman would not have to shovel the coal into the firebox. Most American Articulated steam locomotives came with this feature. Some steam locomotives that had the Archimedes Screw in the tender were the Big Boy, Y6B, Challenger, A Class, EM-1, etc.
Deltics are not used anymore on Britons railways anymore but quite a few are in preservation including that one you have got in the model but deltics still pull their way on preserved lines and even a few can go on the mainline and run rail tours and some even get lucky and freight company's hire them due to shortages off locos and you could see them pulling a freight train but I believe the last deltic to be hired by a freight company was 2012.
Very nice static models of British locos. Produced in VR China for Amercom, a Polish company. Issued in UK and Australia. The series ended with number 41. Prizes are cheap in GBP and Australian Dollars. As a German I love British locos and have many of them but not yet all. They were offered often on eBay from UK and Polish sellers. Several of them you are able to convert to running models with used chassis and motors from Lima and Hornby.
"Shoot the choo choo up" -Trains talking drugs :P
They do like quite nice, I'm impressed with the nice ones... but the lottery isn't really okay, esp for the $20 full price tag. Nice bit of railway history really added in!
With 34 issues, the price is certainly climbing, but we'll have to see...
Can't wait to see the rest if you go for it!
Simply inappropriate.

I'm sorry Leo. It just got to my head.
Apparently (I say that because I'm American), Evening Star was built in 1960, it was the last steam locomotive built for commercial use in the UK.
@ 13:21 That one's also a nice one to have because it's a fine example of a steam locomotive with a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement. You should enjoy each one you receive, because you're getting examples of some of the best steam engines ever built.

Where's the locomotive? Is that thing at the start of your train the engine?
The Evening Star 9F 2-10-0 was of a class of 250 built between 1954 and 1960,numbered 92000 to 92250. Evening Star was the last of them to be built. It was built in 1960 and was the last steam locomotive built in Britain. It was numbered 92220. This is because they were built in batches at several different works. 92250, although the last of the class numerically, was finished several months before 92220.
Leo, I forgot to tell you, DON'T bother with the N Gauge steam locomotives they offer, they're plastic and don't move at all. However, I did find out that the diesels and electrics in this series have rolling wheels and do move.
Dear Leo my father works for tomy in the U.S. I live in Colorado Springs and they said they will be adding white running boards to thomas and friends trains
Nick Field Tomy doesn't make Thomas merchandise for the US market anymore and the models they make for their native Japanese market already have white running boards.
Amazing locomotives,great work Leo
When looking at the black 5 (the nickname fore the Stanier Class 5MT), and The 2800 Gwr engine were meant to have black wheels, not technically low detailed.
i wish i could get my hands on some of those they would look great in my train room. Also leo if you dont mind me asking but are you ever going to challenge a blender with a different model than the mallard?
The smoke deflector was probably off because if it was on It might have got snapped
Im British and I love this video
I think it is a non-stop thing. Like a magazine subscription where the company making the product is constantly making and releasing locomotives, other than the models you own. And if you subscribe to the company making these models, every time they release a new model they will send it to you. Just my thoughts. I hope the are helpful.
1994 Wooden Railway Gordon So, there is no known number of models available.
1994 Wooden Railway Gordon Sounds like you need to own a money tree to pay for all this ;(
Ha! You got that right. Just, where do you get one of those? Ha, thank you for replying to me. Keep up your awesome videos!
There is a difference between an Australian xpt and a British hst ( class 43
Jack Morris yeah the Australian XPT is better
Last year I bought an evening star of this collection and let me tell you, it was NEVER sold in the us and could be the only one in America (lol) shipping was as much as the loco. The one I really wanted was mallard and Scotsman
I think I know why they keep breaking. (Open more carefully)
Or they are very frigale
Or it’s call being a bloke
Issue 8 is called the black 5 which is what Henry from Thomas and friends was from
I dont know why but everytime ive been watching your videos when I go into your playlists I can always see a new video being uploaded and it says its processing! which makes me very exited! :D
This is better than the last video
On stowe, the smokebox door is the wrong way round
"I'll call it a derpy"
I see what you did there XD
The 9F class ran from 1954 -1968 and evening star was built in 1960 and the 9F’s we’re supposed to run till the 80s
The BR green "Mallard" isn't mallard but Bittern, another member of the class, In the BR Green livery,Mallard is 60022 the one there was 60019 Bittern
The evening star was built from day one to be preserved, and it was. Because it was the last of its class.
the front bogey is called "pilot wheels" they're used to lead the train through the curves so that the drive wheels don't derail. as for the back set, they're called "trailing wheels" they're used to hold up the cab and the firebox
samtucker1995 Thanks, so where did Ponies come from. I seem to have many people saying these wheels sets have different names.
leokimvideo Ponies were a nickname given to American locomotives in the Western US. Most were 4-4-0, meaning they had four pilot wheels on the bogey, and four driving wheels. Due to the four wheels, and the fact they lead the drive wheels, they were nicknamed ponies. Well, at least that's what I've read.
BronyinDisguise Thanks for clearing this up
on the front of the scotsman there are smokedeflectors
Same to evening star
I hate the flying Scotsman with the smoke deflectors
@@boyofboy1973 same
Great in depth review Leo! I bought the first issue of this series and I was not very impressed, lots of rough edges and poor paint work. But I have to admit they look great when all displayed together like that.
-@#--@è#/%^&*()
The 28xx class ( xx stands for hundred ) was a freight engine to replace the dean goods which was a 0-6-0 tender engine
The Mallard in the "green livery" was Bittern (another member of the A4s), not Mallard.
that 5mt model is what Hornby used for the base model of henry I belive
Awesome love to see how you use them other then being just models
Nice review Leo, have a wonderful and blessed day! God bless you!
They are pretty good models but they are quite fragile and really are best kept on their bases unless of course you have a model display cabinet. I actually keep some of mine in there in conjunction with some of my functional hornby models. Interestingly Coronations Tender wheels actually rotate which is very unusual for what is meant to be a static model. One thing I think about in relation to the death of steam is despite the fond memories at the time British Railways would've held steam with little more regard than the diesels of today. They were just seen as something to get people from A to B; only for the efforts of people wanting to keep the memories alive we wouldn't really have any. The lucky preserved engines have certainly enjoyed a higher elevated status as people are in awe of them.
*BTW on the subject of the corridor tender. The main reason the Flying Scotsman service utilised that was so that crews could swap without the need to stop the train as they really wanted to emphasise a non-stop service.
Those are very awesome locomotives, Leo.
Nice locomotives, Leo. I personally think that the LNER Flying Scotsman is probably the best one of the steamers from this collection.
However, the LNER Mallard is a legend, although the Flying Scotsman was fast, this lady outpaced that engine by 126 MPH! (At least, that was what the official LNER archives said of her).
Hi Leo, nice video as always, the issues in the UK have now gone up to 37! So we will have to see what happens, sadly there was only really one scrap yard that called Barry's that would sell the locos to preservation groups and BR wouldn't really tell you where the locos went! The UK is very big for steam now, we are even building new ones of the classes of locos which were lost! I have started one myself! You will have to come over to the UK I would show you some amazing British locos! By the way the infomation and model of the K3 and K4 are different so the infomation sounds like it is from the K4 and the model is a K3 they are different locos!
Indeed. But my only connection to Britian's railways (ShUdDeR) in landlocked American, Union Pacific ruled Utah is TTTE.
To make the name of Issue 2 easier, it’s called the Coronation.
On issue 5, the Stowe engine, the front door is 90 degrees off. Turning it anticlockwise, so the hinge is on the right-hand side, will fix it. Saw some of these in store, the first two looked good, but the rest looked like garbage. Even the packaging looked beaten-up.
I think the die cast models are the best
The black 5 is henry's claas
Well for the price its not too bad. But I probably wouldn't collect trains like that if we had an offer like this in the US. It is a cheap way to get something to display though.Or if you fell like busting a blender - lol
For Thomas it is buffers
Or yeet it in the spider tank
In America, K4 refers to the Pennsylvania Railroad 4-6-2 engines that hauled passenger trains.
You didn't read the other nameplate on the other A4 correctly. She's Bittern in BR Green. Her top speed is 90 mph. Also those things on the sides of Scotsman’s smoke box are his smoke deflectors.
Were I to get any of these, I really do think I'd get the LNER A4 "Mallard", probably the best one of the series, very stylish and sleek and a personal fav of mine!
You called it a train. The train is the carriages. The thing that pulls it is the loco. Not trying to sound cocky. And also, no one can argue about Mallard been the fastest, it's official it was recorded in the dynometer car.
So the A3 flying scotsman isnt how it would have looked in its original form. The smoke deflectors and double chimney were added by British Rail in the 1950's and then again by Tony Marchington in the early 2000's
i like trains
Same
Rail Bro me too
Rawwwwwwwwwwwww
These would be pretty useful for a scrapyard.
one thing is that all the handrails are just molded on.
Omg, the train you thought was a green mallard, was a different a4 Pacific called bittern
Yes the K4 is related to Mallard and Flying Scotsman
that second engine that is not called originail cornation but duches of hamilton but in world war 2 she was called cornation
I kind of would try to but them with a Model set like on a siding I think they would look great
The national railway museum is a big museum with loads of trains actual size and history on how they started the mallard is there since it was build I have a picture of me with it BTW it's in York in the UK :)
The smoke deflectors on the flying Scotsman were put on the real train in the 1950s. I have the smaller N scale versions of the Schools class and Flying Scotsman
The schools class was one of the most powerful 4-4-0s in British history
Cool and nice!!
0:59 That’s incorrect. That locomotive is called a Princess Coronation Class. They got the class designation and the actual locomotive name mixed up.
It’s not known as a ‘Princess Coronation’. It’s known as a ‘Duchess’ class. 6201 was a princess. 6220 isn’t a princess.
BN’s Railway Videos
I’m pretty sure that the Duchess of Hamilton (that’s her name) is a Princess Coronation Class. 6201 is a Princess Royal Class.
leokimvideo how can i buy only the first issue ? because if i enter to the shop i cant buy this and im from spain
the 5mt is actually a lms black 5
the thing that you are thinking about is British railway stories
the flying scotsman is back in action
The flying Scotsman was originally an A1 class and didn't get those smoke deflectors until later on nearer the 1960s
The name Issue 2 is the Class 8P ‘ Duchess’ No.6220 Coronation (1938).
It's really hard to tell but you look at the railway series books then they have a similarity
@ 24:52 That's not the case with me, I think diesel and electric locomotives are awesome!
the first 10 issues cost you $176 which is the same price as you pay for 88 Thomas play rail capsule toys back in 2012
which do you feel is better value
(the whole series if it is 34 issues will cost you $656)
bertiethebusfan14 Both are overpriced I feel. The Playrail is more of a rip off considering it's near impossible to get engine characters out of those set up crook machines. I have a very delayed video where I pull 100 Thomas Playrail capsules and the breakdown of what I get for $200 will make many people cry. Now how about the 70 ships to collect all the Star Trek stuff at $20 a pop, is that one a waste of money as well? I did also collect Giant War Planes up to issue 10, and it's a very curious collection of collectables. In all these collections the total number of the collection is well hidden away..and again I need to ask WHY?
the deltic is very good but sad there are only 7 left in presevation in briten all the others are in the scrap yard waiting to be scraped
The Black Five is Henrys' Basis :D... Also he was originally going to be based on a GNR Atlantic C1.
Cory the legend Thanks, I never knew that
Leo you the Best
The name of ishoo 2 is corinaton
Wow awesome video Leo my favourite was the flying scotsman (edit) BTW I’m from the uk
mallard is the model of Spencer
British Railways cut up the steam engines because in WWII, sparks from funnel and firebox could ignite gunpowder. Coal became a valuable resource, and was rather expensive. Diesels used oil, and were easier to start up. Steam engines took a long time to get ready. Oil is cheaper than coal, and they had no metal to make them, so they cut up the ste
Things beside the engine smoke box is the smoke deflectors
Aussie Fun Facts Of Today....
The Flying Scotsman Has Visited Australia in '88 and '89 For The Aus Steam '88. in '89 The Flying scotsman Broke the Record For The Longest Non-Stop Train From Melbourne to Alice Springs.
The Evening Star Has a wheel Configuration of 2-10-0 Because Its used For Fast freight. Its Classified By BR The 9F. The 9 Means Its Power rating And F Stands For Freight.
The Mallard and Coronation Was Streamlined Because The London Midland And Scottish Railway // LMS And The London And North Eastern Railway // LNER Have A Rivalry Called race To The North, Witch Basicly who have The Fastest Train From london to scotland.
The Deltics isnt Actually A Diesel. Its A Diesel Diesel Electric. So Thats why Its Quite Long. and Have a Wheel Configuration of Co-Co
The 5MT or Nicknamed The Black Fives. They were nicknamed The Black Fives Because Most Of The Black Five Were in Black. and The MT means Mixed Traffic
[Passanger and Freight]
By the way The Those those Thing on The side of the Smokebox were Called Smoke Deflectors.. Phew
i always collect no more than 10 issues of this kinda magazine, next new series i will collect 10 too...
Awesome video! To be honest I wouldn't buy the whole collection because I never really was interested in the real models unless they came out in Thomas and Friends form. I mean I like how they all have very interesting back story's and have amazing detailing's but that's really it.
El flying scotsman es el hermano de cordón y el Clash of 4 es espenser
Leo in a huge fan of yours
On British, up to 37 models. On Australian, up to 22 models.
Mallard was always blue the green A4 is the called bittern
Henry from Thomas the tank is the engine from the 8th issue
I think the lack of detail on some of the models has to do with the real locomotives themselves. Some of the locomotives never had the glitz and glam as engines such as "City of Truo". The black ones (I forgot the classes:)) were built during the world wars, and were built for work rather than looking nice.
Nice
do the siderods move ?
Leo the number is many more because they are always making new models
Schools class as one of my favourite locomotives, gotta say that model is terrificly bad. the boiler is plasticy, the running gear looks off, the general detailing isn't great and lots of mold lines visible. Given the AUS$20 price tag (~£12) compared to say a Hornby schools (£96 for a railroad model, or £149-160 for full detail) it's not that bad if you're willing to put some work into improveing the looks (paint job mostly!) though that might be hard given the fragility, and of course the end result is a stationary model.
OR for the same price (£12) you can get a Dapol schools class kit, which gives a much better base for kit-bashing improvements and motorisation.
