  • We finally end the Railway Roundabout in 1958, at the Southern Railway's Southampton docks, where we see the USA tanks and featuring rare footage of LBSC's E2 class no.32109 (best known as Leo in mine and Tomthetrainfan's NRWS)

    I bet most people came here just to see the basis of Thomas the Tank Engine in action.
    It's a real shame that there's rarely any footage of the E2 class or any survivors for that matter.

      @zemildlybird2024 3 роки тому +11

      @YOrbiTer 12 Actually, that would be nearly impossible. Thomas was built and sold in 1915 to Sodor, Rosie and her siblings were went to Southampton during the 1940's, to help with the war effort, so here's my theory.
      Thomas would probably know Rosie during the Second World War, where she was sent to Sodor. She proved far greater then the E2, which made Thomas jealous and worried for his siblings.
      But during the 60's, when Diesels started to replace Steam, he had sympathy for Rosie, and then the two would be made friends.
      So there.

I particularly liked seeing the American side tanks roaming the docksides, as they had quite the distinction between other locos at the docks, like the LBSC engines, inside cylinders and British as can be.

    Unlike Thomas, LB&SCR E2 class locomotives weren’t useful. The E2s were limited to only some parts of the docks because they were too long for some of the tight corners and were prone to derailing. They were originally built for light passenger trains but were unreliable for long distance.

      You may be onto something there, actually. It's very similar to the puffing sound when Thomas is stuck in the snow. There isn't much info on the audio production for the original series, but I do know that some of the sounds used were recorded at the Talyllyn Railway. Apart from that, I suppose old railway footage like this could have also been used for audio samples or simply as a reference.

There's a lot of local opposition to this. All the railway infrastructure on the eastern side of the docks is now defunct save for one line that comes down from St. Denys past what was the old Southampton Terminus station. It crosses Canute Road as it winds down to the vehicle import/export facility.

    It's been said before, but I do wish an E2 was preserved. The fact they're the basis for Thomas aside, they were elegantly designed locomotives, and had a surprisingly long and productive career. Whilst not the most amazing or well-performing locomotives ever made, the E2s found good use as shunters and were clearly quite helpful in some scenarios.
