Oh my what a unique and cute little traction Engine
That's Fergus for you.
@@jaxixteen FERGUS THE RAILWAY TRACTION ENGINE: (BLOWS WHISTLE HAPPILY) YA CERTAINLY SAID IT QUITE INSANELY CLEARLY CLEAR, OL' CHAP!
this loco looks like a traction engine that had its wheels replaced with railway wheels!
That's because it is.
@@rsobr2game242 weird but neat tho
@Hugo Zachary Dude wrong video,this isn't a video about how to recover your Instagram account 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know because my friend was trying to recover his Instagram account after it got hacked (he ended up making a new account instead since it wasn't recoverable),I know your just a scam account preying on people who want to hack accounts and stuff,the thing is you don't know what your getting into when your using something like Instahaxer or a hacker or some hacking software to recover your account
@@TankEngine75 It's just a pair of bots that do the same thing on dozens of videos.
I wish hornby or bachmann or something wound make a model of this
I wish so too... They probably can't because there would be little room for the motor.
I see, they could put pickup rollers on a truck and have it attached to the engine.
I saw a video of someone planning to use a stephenson's rocket chassis to make a custom one

I know it's not the same thing but if you're really good at painting it would look just as real.
the blue circle is an INCREDIBLE locomotive. He might be old, but he looks. strong!
YEAH! YEAH, HE DOES LOOK STRONG DESPITE HIS OWN OFFICIAL OLD AGE!
IT CERTAINLY DOES ACTUALLY JUST SERIOUSLY GOES THROUGH THE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL WELL-KNOWN HUUUUGER THAN HUUUUGE OPPORTUNITY-TAKIN' PROGRESSIVELY PROGRESSIVE PROCESS TO HAPPILY SHOW THAT JUST 'CAUSE ANTIQUE LOCOMOTIVES MIGHT ACTUALLY BE QUITE INSANELY OLD EASILY COMPARED TO LOTS OF VARIOUS MODERN-DAY OBJECTS NOWADAYS, BUT THEY'RE STILL CONSIDERED TO ACTUALLY BE REALLY USEFUL!!!!!!!
FIZZLIN' FIREBOXES, WHAT A SPECTACULARLY SPECTACULAR DEMONSTRATION OF A BRAKE VAN RIDING PERFORMANCE FROM A SPECTACULARLY SPECTACULAR INCREDIBLE PIECE OF STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY MACHINERY DATING ALLLLLLL THE WAY BACK TO THE YEAR OF 1926 DURING THE DAYS OF THE WELL-KNOWN BIG 4 RAILWAY COMPANIES PRIOR TO NATIONALIZATION OF THE UK'S OWN OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL COMPLETELY COMPLETE RAILWAY SYSTEM RESPECTFULLY!!!!!! WAY TO GO, BLUE CIRCLE A K A THE REAL-LIFE LOCOMOTIVE COUNTERPART OF FERGUS THE RAILWAY TRACTION ENGINE!!!!!!
It's the little engine who ran away
Edit: DO IT RIGHT
2-2-0 is a wonderful wheel arrangement. Cheers!
AGREED!!!!!!!!
FUN FACT: THE WELL-KNOWN 2-2-O WHEEL CONFIGURATION CERTAINLY HAPPENS TO ACTUALLY BE KNOWN AS A PLANET TYPE OF WHEEL CONFIGURATION!!!!! PLUS, SS A SPECTACULARLY SPECTACULAR BONUS FOR A SPECTACULARLY SPECTACULAR MATTER OF FACT, THE BLUE CIRCLE AIN'T THE ONLY 1 WHO ACTUALLY USES THIS OFFICIAL WHEEL CONFIGURATION AS A LITTLE COFFEE POT TANK ENGINE BUILT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL WELL-KNOWN B & O RAILROAD HERE IN AMERICA IN THE YEAR OF 183O BY PETER COOPER KNOWN AS TOM THUMB THAT THE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL WELL-KNOWN B & O PROUDLY HAS GOT A REPLICA OF ON DISPLAY IN THEIR OWN OFFICIAL ROUNDHOUSE CERTAINLY HAPPENS TO ACTUALLY ALSO APPARENTLY USE THE SAME EXACT WHEEL CONFIGURATION, TOO!!!!!!!!
Nice video, Fergus/Blue Circle is now near me at Rushden Transport Museum, I live in Wellingborough
do it riiiiiiight
Too bad it can't go as fast as Fergus. But then again it is built for traction.
You did it right making this.
WELL, SPECIFICALLY KNOWING FERGUS THE RAILWAY TRACTION ENGINE THOROUGHLY ALL TOO WELL, HE'S ACTUALLY BOUND TO COMPLETELY AGREE AS HE SERIOUSLY C-C-COULDN'T HAVE CLEARLY P-P-PUT IT BETTER HIMSELF!!!!!!
that's Fergus in Thomas the tank engine
Except bigger
Looks like Furgus!
the blue circle is fergus bassis. I highly suggest that you take a look at trainboy’s video, since he is much better than me at counting details!!
Absolutely wonderful.
Oh there once was an engine that ran away!
God damn it XD
Rhyndale Railway There once was a tugboat that ran away .
Toot toot, farewell, goodbye.
It is Fergus
There once was an engine who ran away
Astounding.
Just one cylinder? What happens if it dead centres?
Gloved hand on the flywheel ?
Fergus: Do it right
“Do it right”
Good footage. However BC isn't on loan :) It is owned by the gent driving it in this film and has been based at Shackerstone since 2006
When one designs machinery the intention is surely that the machine should render an improvement over the status quo and offer savings in cost or efficiency. Whoever designed this clearly had suffered a strange form of memory loss and forgotten that horses exist.
Traction Engines are pretty slow it seems
That's how you do it right.
So the engineer is also the stoker?
Toot Toot, Farewell, Goodbye!
PEW
that is one slow locomotive it looks interesting though
wow . different engine .
It knocks like a bag of hammers. The late Fred Dibnah would never have tolerated it.
It was built for poodling around with one wagon at a time in a cement works. The name is a famous brand of cement in the UK.
I think he would tolerated it since he got into Steam because of Steam Locomotives And everyone knows he has Traction Engines,I don't know much about Fred Dibnah so correct me if I'm wrong :)
Do it right!
Do It RiGhT
Put some grease on those gears!
Fergus!
The sound of the gear cogs meshing doesn't sound too good...
fergus refrence
Never made to go fast.
Many thanks for letting me know, I have removed the coment.
Do it right
This think got 10 hp? Even other engines built in this time had more ho
0:59 1:00 1:01
Using a breakeven instead of a coach? Unacceptable! DO IT RIGHT!!!!!!!
Nope
DonaldDouglas910 a coach might be too heavy.
This thing isn't allowed on the line because it doesn't have a trough train brake, so will not run with a coach over the line, altough it is powerful enough to pull a coach or two.
But the difficulty is in stopping those in an emergency or downhill!
A coach weighs 35 tons, this loco has only a brake block on the driven wheel which has only a load of 5-6 tons on it.
Instead, what they do, is offer brake van rides within station limits on a loop or siding, which is legal within the regulations.
Brake van rides are done often to offer people a trip behind engines not allowed on or powerful enough for the line, and the brake van offers perfect opportunity to see and hear the engine in front working.
This type of rail traction engine was offered as a cost effective alternative for a full size industrial loco for small industrial sidings where only a couple of wagons at a time needed to be shifted, it used less water and coal and was cheaper to buy.
@@Tom-Lahaye thanks for the cool info!
Do It RiGhT
Fergus!
