Brings back happy memories from my trainspotting days in Leamington Spa where i was raised. We only had western region there, however. Very nostalgic this and much appreciated from where I live now,, Canada. Thank you for posting :-).
I wouldn’t rate that a great exit. It was an ‘every day’ start. No excessive opening of the regulator, no slipping, just as it should be from a good driver.
It’s the sound from the blower, a steam jet around the blastpipe to maintain a draught through the fire. The panting just before it starts is the air pump recharging the brake reservoir
Our trains used vacuum brakes because it is easy to create vacuum with a steam locomotive. Todays trains have air brakes and the steam locomotives have been fitted with a steam operated air pump. It is the sound of the exhaust from that you can hear as it builds up pressure to release the train brakes.

@@peterchapman697 hey!!!! So glad you enjoyed it.

Superb 👌
Gresley was really paying attention to his work the day he designed the mighty A 4s should have more running
Absolutely brilliant video bro. What a incredible looking steam train and that exit is something else ❤❤❤❤x
What a fabulous looking machine. Magnificent.
Would have been better without music added to the soundtrack as it was leaving.
@@MervynPartin thank you for your feedback and tbh you’re right. I did watch it back and think it could of done without the music at the end

What a sight 😢😢😢 beautiful engine and tune
Absolutely beautiful❤
It's a steam locomotive. The carriages behind it are the train.
Marvyn it's just beautiful 😍
Superb steam locomotive
Still impressive
From about 4.25 to 4.50, it pants while stationary. What's going on there?
@@nathanaellewis1242 so it’s caused by the repeated release of spent steam from the cylinders as the pistons move back and forth
@Explorewithmepaul I thought pistons only moved when the engine is moving
@@nathanaellewis1242 …oh yea lol 😂

Would be better if they had some clean Welsh steam coal.😢
Not for an A4, they were designed to steam of Yorkshire hards
Music now is it. 🤦♀️
that engine is awesome when BRITAN WAS GREAT
