      Yes, I still remember a boy. At that speed, the trains used to rock back and forth with the force of the pistons. Alas, obviously this couldn't be simulated in this clip.

    I remember as a kid being taken by my OM to one of the local ECML stations in northern Northumberland - I remember the name began with a B, so that would make it either Beal or Belford. We saw an A4 hauled southbound approaching at very high speed - it could not have been far short of 100mph. What impressed me the most was the way the engine was swaying rapidly from side to side from the power of the pistons as they propelled the train down the track. As it roared through the station it was a very impressive site - a testimony of the genius of Gresley, the former LNER chief mechanical engineer.

    Wow, I'd love to see this in person. It really lives up to the name! Just wow, there's a lot of drama with those fly-bys! The noise, the mechanicals all on display, the steam trail and of course the feeling of something that massive blowing by.
    I was lucky enough to see the 4014 run in 2019 seeing something that big gradually accelerate is a marvel and intimidating! An engineering marvel that deserves the utmost respect.

    It makes perfect sense why folks over here in America were just gaga about her when she came here. I love our steamers but apart from being considerably bigger, they’re much more workman-like with only a few exceptions. Scotty is a true work of art, its paint, its technological capabilities, its styling and everything about her invigorates the imagination. Not bad at all for a 100 year old engine that death can never hold a candle to. I’ll see you in person one day❤️

    Wow !! Beautiful on ANY level !!
    Sometimes we forget what a REVOLUTION Railroading was.
    I'm thinking it was maybe 1 of 4 Inventions that together changed the world, and out of which everything SINCE grew -
    1. STEEL - Modern Steel Production
    2. Rail-Roading ( Cars and airplanes, etc. grew out of the technology) AND the realization that EFFICIENT Transportation was a must
    3. Air Conditioning - making unpopulat-able (? _;-)) !_ ) areas livable: Urban areas, homes, hot and arid areas
    4. Long Distance Communications
    But in my PERSONAL opinion, it took RAILROADING to bring it ALL to the WORLD !
    What a BEAUTIFUL example of Art, Engineering and Human NEED all converging in this example of some of our BEST -
    and most beautiful !

      I honestly don't understand why they didn't just upgraded our railway that we already have here in the UK to accommodate faster trains than build a brand new one, would have been far cheaper I'd guess too 👌🏻
      The Alstom Class 390 Pendolino's are capable of 140mph but are limited to 125mph due to the lack of in-cab signalling ability.
      They could have easily upgraded our existing railways to allow 160-200mph trains, but why do we need to go so fast? 125mph gets you to London from the north in around 2hrs to 2hrs 30mins, and it'd be even less if it was an express non stop service.
      The Class 390 does 125mph on a daily basis in service, it's not just occasionally 👍🏻
      I find it very impressive that these Steam locomotives can keep up with modern train's, and even beat some of the older diesels 😁
      And as for motorways, Leave them well alone, these so called smart motorways are a complete an utter disaster and are quite frankly death traps, that need to be scrapped and made back into standard motorways.

    It amazes me that the heavy, probably 300 to 500 pounds each, connecting rods, stay on at this speed, and the way the smoke is being blown back, it should be at, or around 100mph, for real.

    As youngsters in Ireland, mon ami, we always loved it when the trains passed by at a leisurely rate, as it provided us a great chance to bounce a few ripe tomatoes off some of the pork-pie-faced blokes who stuck their mugs out the window/door openings. Mon Dieu, what fun. ESPECIALLY if they were holding a pint a' bitters that they then dropped!
    Ho-Ho-Ho!...as Monsieur Santa would say.

      No.its insurance in case of a breakdown. Remember, these engines are running on mainline tracks. A breakdown could be a big problem for scheduled trains.

      Keegan1104 it's not for extra power, it's incase of breakdown. Steam trains running on main lines are often required to have a diesel backup, if the line is blocked by a broken down train it is very disruptive and costly to the railway, literally thousands of passengers on other trains could be delayed costing the company tens of thousands in compensation and fines.

    I believe there is a (75mph ?) speed limit for these historic trains in the UK, so unlikely to be her old 100mph max in-service days. Galloping along, nevertheless. Wonderful to see.

      That’s correct but they do occasionally get special dispensation to go 90+ mph. If you want to a good clip of an a4 doing a genuine 101mph on UA-cam then search “60007 on the move” it’s a pacing video captured in the 90’s apparently it’s was the drivers last run before retirement
