WE'RE BACK! With a brand new special on the LSWR T3 class 4-4-0s.
20 of these express passenger engines were built between 1890-93, with the preserved example No563 returning to traffic at the Swanage Railway in October 2023
This is an original documentary produced by me and my friends, starring my creations and myself.

I like the use of model footage here to fill in the gaps where related locomotives do not survive. Very creative! The T3 is just stunning, and this video does her credit.
In my opinion, another operational 4-4-0 is something worth foaming over
The T3 is such a beautiful locomotive and I’m so glad she got preserved
Wow the LSWR livery sure looks beautiful on 563.
This man is a legend, keep up the good work mate
This was amazing, high quality as always. I love this new format of full length SLIP for a solo survivor
This was absolutely beautiful. As you very rightly said, 563 is not a famous, fast or technologically advanced engine, but she's certainly a special one. Very well done sir, and welcome back SLIPs! 😄
In my opinion I think the T3 is better than the T9 as it the most good looking 4-4-0 express loco that ever run. I do like the T9, but the T3 has a interesting features that the T9 don’t have and that is the piston goes through the cylinders.
'Inexplicable appeal'? Sheer elegance in metal, and grace in motion - what more can one say?
great video of a equally great loco
Beautiful ❤ 😍 😘
Adams was an innovative engineer, including the design of the design of the slide bars, piston tail rods and a special design of annular blast pipe which he devised.
I really hope we get a ready to run OO scale model of 563 to help raise awareness of her existence! This locomotive is incredible, as a survivor, an exception and now a living, breathing example of the golden age of railways.
and.. as an LSWR fan.. I feel so lucky to be around to see her in steam!
Here's to hope 488 on the bluebell gets a similar treatment.. be amazing to see the two of them together.
Thank goodness she can't be painted into BR Black too. provided she doesn't go the SVR lol....
Genuinely profound. There is something transcendent about steam preservation. I consider it art. 🖼️
Nice to see you back at full strength - sorry you've had a bit of a trial. Good presentation - you've kept you consistency. Looking forward to future content, and the Bachmann/Locomotion T3 that's sure to follow........IF I can afford one!
I love this take on doing sole survivors Chris & what an engine to start on. I remember hearing the news that the NRM gave the T3 to swanage & heard it was going to be restored to working order, figuring it would take at least ten years, I put it at the back of my mind. Then over the last couple of years, I saw how tantalisingly close the restoration was getting to completion & I think it's fair to say, I was gobsmacked when I saw the Swanage's video on her steam test, I couldn't believe that after being inactive for so long, six short years later, she was steaming again. A true testament to all involved in getting what I think is one of Britain's most beautiful engines back in the public eye once more & what a livery to choose, these engines carried a variety of shades of green in their day & this particular livery is simply gorgeous. I really hope to see her in person at some point
She’s very pretty, and the livery is wonderful!
#unexpected
Interesting loco. - - I thought the outro music sounded very much in the style of Hank Marvin.
This loco sat out the entire reign of Queen Elizabeth II
People joked about the Queen being immortal or thousands of years old, but the T3 was built years before she was, sat through her reign on display and then outlasted her. Still miss her majesty, but at least we have the T3.
Adams also invented the famous ADAMS BOGIE, which, as well as pivoting, moved laterally. Adams tank engines (02?) as a class, ran alongside Drummond comfortably into BR. As well as other Pre-Grouping tank engines.
Personally, apart from the Schools Class (V) I think All the Adams 4-4-0’s are arguably the best and most handsome four-coupled locomotives ever built.
Great Video Chris! 👏🏻😄Looking forward for more videos of Steam Loco in Profile!🤞🏻😁🤞🏻Keep up with the good work and don’t stop being awesome! 😉👍🏻
I'm not joking when I say this, this was the best video I have seen in my life!
Beautiful steam engine
I love how models are used to show the non existent locomotives
She's truly a grand old girl, the Lady Grantham of steam for the Downton Abbey fans. And an inspirational example of what is possible with the money and drive to achieve it. If the T3 can steam again, then maybe another Victorian queen could too someday. It might take some convincing to restore the Stirling Single or City of Truro, but the Bluebell Railway did announce plans to have a look at the Adams Radial Tank once their Brighton Atlantic is finished.
Still can't believe some people bemoaned that they didn't use asbestos based boiler lagging for the sake of authenticity, the team involved in her restoration have done a stunning job!
Asbestos is safe enough if handled with care, but it’s such a faff and the consequences for failure are fatal cancers for many people.
@@unconventionalideas5683 was asbestos even in use in the 1890s? I thought it only happened later...
Really enjoyed watching this Chris, the T3 is a beautiful locomotive, I've seen this in Shildon as a exhibit but cannot wait to see this in steam
There was a nicely restored LSWR carriage in salmon and brown restored at the same time (1948/9?). What became of that?...there was little care about saving carriages until decades later. I recall a colour plate of the two in the Railway Magazine at the end of the Forties.
I think that might be at the NRM in the station hall, attached to M7 No. 245. I could be wrong though, but that’s my best guess.
@@joshslater2426On Further Inspection, that seems to be the case.
Super detail and informative with great video...
Cheers Chris for another fantastic episode!
The talks about preserving 571 weren't with "Bulleid and British Rail", they were with Bulleid and British Railways.
Awesome video
Another great video!!!! ... as for your conclusions... you missed a question.... are there more beautiful engines in railway preservation?? I'm going to go out on a limb here, and risk the comments... NO!!!! The appeal isn't inexplicable... it's a stunningly beautiful loco!!!
Very well done! Thank you.
The T3 is my all-time favourite British locomotive. To see the recently born-again and unique example running on the Swanage railway is a real treat. Added to that, the superb and evocative manner in which this video has been put together makes it all the more special. Many thanks, Mr E-G.
Superb video I've been down to swanage to see this first hand and it's a beaut
Outlived all of those events, only to slam up against another potential bloody conflict in Europe again.
Wonderful to see this episode Chris - I’m glad that, after everything that has been thrown at you recently, you’ve kept your chin up and are still doing what you love 😊
Hope that you’re keeping well mate. I haven’t been up-to-date with a lot of the news until your most recent videos, but I’m glad that you’re doing well. Know that you’ve been in my thoughts
Cheers mate
Kyle
Very happy to see a new video, and a great subject!
Great episode as always Chris, just subbed to your Patreon on the Complete Slips sub 🙂.
Well worth it for the excellent content you have already done and to help by giving a little bit back each month to keep going 👏🏻
I love how the uk just has stuff like old castles just sitting on a hill meanwhile in the us the only castle you might find is a while castle
Are you going to do the black 5 video next
She's not the strongest, fastest or biggest, but will get the job done in her own style.
Truly a beautiful locomotive, the stove pipe smokestack is strangely one of my favorite features of Adams locomotives and this one looks so much better with it.
I wholeheartedly support your decision to showcase models as props to showcase extra context, they're the next best thing to public domain footage.
Agreed. I would like to add that the stovepipe chimney is also quite beautiful on Great Eastern Railway locos too.
@@joshslater2426 The stovepipe chimney on Great Eastern Railway locomotives was actually first used on Adams locomotives. The reason why early Holden locomotives also carried a stovepipe chimney was because James Holden used slightly tweaked versions of the best parts from his predecessors, those being Samuel Waite Johnson, William Adams, Massey Bromley, and Thomas William Worsdell. That being said, Samuel Waite Johnson's early designs for the Midland Railway were originally very similar to his own designs for the Great Eastern Railway, as were William Adams's designs for the London & South Western Railway.
Sorry for the late reply, but that’s very interesting. I forgot Adams also worked on the GER, even though I remembered Johnson did. I shouldn’t be surprised since so many pre-grouping railway CMEs went from railway to railway.
Anybody else thought this was going to be a new build when they first heard about it?
Can you do the NCC WT class next?
Is it gauche to say that this little beauty is cute?
The T3 is such a stunning engine i wonder what model brand would make it?
You out did yourself on this one 🙌 well done!
Excellent video. I supplied the prop for Peter's Toy Train to the Toronto and London productions of the Railways Children and got to know this locomotive quite well at KX. On arrival she was rather grubby and the paintowkr less than prisitne so we put in a fiar bit of graft in cleaning her up. My wife wasn't too pleased at the state in which I would come hom,e!
Brilliant Chris. This is what we need you doing. You at your best talking about locos .
This take of a sole survivor is a better format than covering one for two minutes. A fantastic way to kick off the new season of Steam Locos in Profile! Keep up the good work. :D
This must've been the most special episode of SLIPs you've done, considering it's a sole survivor.
That shot 16 minutes in!
Another fantastic video there!
You and your work have been missed, Chris. Great as always. That T3's fresh paint alone is worth the price of a a ticket. Such a gorgeous machine.
I'm wondering now, since you've managed with a sole survivor, what you'll film of 71000 when she returns to the mainline. She's so close now. Hopefully, in time for her 70th too.
Well done on another fantastic episode
This was such a fun episode! I’m really excited to see the rest of this batch of episodes!! I never really knew much about the T3s before 563 was back in service, and it has fast become one of my favourite locomotives in preservation!
Right - time to petition City of Glasgow Council, let's get Glen Douglas or Highland 103 running again!!
would need the money. the council did in fact give the srps each of gen douglas and gordon highlander in turn to try to do something with, and they failed to raise the money or get the project going in both cases....
gorgeous
I think another reason 563 is so loved now is because it represents something that would normally be regarded as impossible: When a preserved engine ends up as a display piece in a museum, especially for a long period of time - think Thundersley, the T26, the Stanier Tank and so forth - it's generally agreed by all but the most delusional enthusiasts that it's going to stay there permanently. The T3 is the biggest example of that, last steaming in World War 2 and only leaving the NRM as a prop for the Railway Children show. Out of nowhere, the T3 leaves the NRM, goes to the Swanage Railway, and within 6 years it's running again. If you told someone before this that the T3 would return to home territory and be restored to working order, you'd be laughed out of the room. The 563 group and the Swanage Railway have done the impossible, and no one who was around to witness this event will forget that.
Kinda looks like a fruness railway k2
If the NRM was to donate any other locos, what would you like it to be and where would you want it to go?
I would honestly not give any more away, as the locos preserved for static display more than deserve a nice retirement.
I wouldn’t mind giving the D Class or the Q1 to the Bluebell, but the rest should stay safe and sound.
i edge to 4-4-0s
Chris the way you've presented and made this SLIP is amazing and fresh, here's to a brilliant start to 2024!
I love the new style of SLIP, it gives a whole other feeling to it, and a new appreciation for the T3, I've learnt alot in general from this, brilliant work Chris!
Been behind it. Hopefully they can get it able to pull more than 3/4 coaches
Has been tested on load 7 now and performed well. Normally it will be a 5 coach engine now.
the X2 looks similar to the K2 aka edward.
First i didn’t realize their were other LSWR 440s preserved besides the t9 and second hats off to the restoration workers they did an amazing job
A stunning film of a beautiful and remarkable survivor. Nice to see SLIPs back and taken to the next level with a high calibre, full-length sole survivor episode.
The Swanage Railway has done a great job in restoring this engine.
What makes this locomotive so special is because there aren't that many Victorian age locomotives in running condition these days, you can perhaps count the numbers on ten fingers, and that's a very small percentage of the total.
I would say that there were loads of them, but given that the Y7, SE&CR H class and most recently (and tragically) the GER Y14 have all been taken out of traffic in the past few years. This is why the Victorian and Edwardian new builds are a much-needed presence on the heritage circuit.
Great video!!
LSWR T3, the Edward of the LSWR
No
@@bussesandtrains1218 Yes
@@bussesandtrains1218As in Edward the blue engine of Sodor…
No
@@unconventionalideas5683 yes
I remember seeing her in London for the Railway Children on my 6th Birthday and swing her return to traffic on my 13th! She is a rather special loco in my heart and has taken the spot of my favourite loco!
Excellent work, Chris, and welcome back to UA-cam. I love this new format of SLIPs very much - particularly with scale models being used to represent locomotives that are no longer with us, and the pacing shots of the models are very cool 😄
This is a treat of a video. The T3’s had quite the story from service to static preservation to her return to steam after 7 decades. It’s a beautiful locomotive too, combined with a gorgeous mint and chocolate livery.
Love the episode! Including that new piece of music in the last part.
lovely video to round the week Chris =)
a charming look into a charming loco
That is one of the most beautiful locomotives ever in my opinion
It would look better in br black
Chris Eden Green is one best trains seen in my life. No questions ask 10X time better A3 Fly. See two times but never get bored of it. Going to this March Steam gala just to see T3. Want a model of this In OO ready to run. Really hope the T9 gets done before T3 finish 10 years. Nice to T3 and T9 in SR green on Swanage.
In my eyes, there hasn't been a greater triumph in preservation in many years. The SVR did the right thing bringing this engine back to life.
If only breaking engines out of museums and into the hands of capable people who want to make it run could become more common place.
Don’t call me weird it look like a tender engine version of the Addams radio tank engine just saying because look out the back is designed not the tender
563 isn't quite my cup of tea, but I respect her and what she represents
It great to see new episode after a long time looking forward to future episodes 😀 ❤
Just what is the history of Chris' haircut? It has been 75 years since he last had a haircut.
Great to have you back on UA-cam!
Wow, what a great video. The final point does make you think, what other, long dormant engines are going to get a new breath of life? 'Thundersly'?, 'Butler-Henderson'?, the Stirling Single 'No. 1'?, Maybe even 'City of Truro'.
I do like this new format and look forward to seeing the next one.
That might sound good on paper, but be careful what you wish for. The National Collection was created to preserve key locos of railway history on display for future generations. Steaming them wears them out and overhauls mean a loss of authenticity. Even if it would be nice, I’m personally fine with many of the collection’s Victorian and Edwardian locos being safe and sound in museums.
Now we just need the NRM to gift the Stirling single or Duchess of Hamilton to a railway so they can run again.
But that would mean that two of the NRM’s finest and most loved exhibits would be de-listed from the collection.
Think your caps lock is stuck on when writing titles
That's just the style of the font
@@ChristheXelent “STEAM LOCOS IN PROFILE”… yeah, your caps lock was stuck on when you wrote that.
Thank you for a extremely well presented, informative and entertaining video. Best wishes.
This was a Wonderful video watch and im slowly forming a liking towards the T3
Really missed slips, absolutely loved this Chris, thank you
Thanks for this video, Chris. It was just what I needed today. Nothing controversial or depressing, but nearly 20 minutes of reassuring wholesomeness.
It's been a while since I've seen a new episode of SLIP, and what an engine to see it again. While I've never heard of the T3s before this, the way you talked about it really makes it seem all the more special of a loco, and defiantly one to look out for when running. An amazing video Chris, keep up the amazing work!
I wish we had more engines of this vintage running in Sweden. Sadly we only have some narrow gauge ones from the late 1800s running.
Number 120 has always been persoanl favorite of all LSWR locomotives, but honestly I did look into the history of this particular locomotive a couple of years ago and honestly I felt like that this engine truly deserves another chance to finally run again for all of us to see for there were many souls who worked her and wished for her to be ran once again. I hope to see you one day that both 563 and 120 can run on the same rails together in the same colors that they served in a century ago
Very well presented, Chris - thoroughly enjoyed. (It was a pleasure to meet you and chat at Highley platform end during the SVR gala when I was over there.)
Good to have you back Chris and and what an loco to kick off with fantastic shots and model shots ❤
Another excellent episode of SLIPS thank you for continuing to produce top quality content. The model segments were a nice new addition and I hope we see more of them in the future. Thank you for being the inspiration for TLF. Carry on the good work and I look forward to seeing what you produce in the future
