I think we all know it's only a matter of time before steam trains return as the dominant locomotive. They're faster, better looking, and above all, more powerful! The only obstacle is fuel consumption, and maintenance costs. Both of which I'm pretty sure shouldn't be too hard to overcome in the future.

It only pushes when negotiating steep gradients, otherwise it takes on the role of a generator coach (electricity and/or heating is provided for coaches from diesel engine generator e.g. at night). It can also be handy for shunting duties once a rail tour is done and the coaches need to be stored.

Steam at speed.... Unfortunately I feel that some of these clips of 'steam at speed' will be owing to plenty pushing assistance by the class 47 at the back of any of the trains.
@@04clemea fair enough.... But I must admit being present on one or two of the tours depicted..... Gaining aforementioned 'speed' was definitely assisted by the class 47. ☺. Bring back the non necessity of having traction in tow...... All for keeping pathing times.
Excellent compilation of these magnificent old beasts, unleashed and allowed to run at speed as they were intended. Thanks for posting this.

They can bar them from regular passenger trains but they can never silence them

Wow the speed of the train is amazing & greetings from Indonesia Railways 🇲🇨👍😁
Great stuff. Clan Line definitely looks quicker than 75mph at 6:27!

Wonderful, Clan Line and Co. at high speed ! Thanks.
To think, Braunton spent 25+years rotting away in Barry Scrapyard. Look at her now. Wonderful sight....
One of your best videos!

Every last bit of spectacular!! 🤩
Great video
5:25 at Huntspill would’ve pleased Rev. W. Awdry! WOW that’s a view!!! 😲
Another absolute banger lads
great stuff man
Super nostalgic 🥰🥰🥰
Ist das schnell die Dampflokomotive, mit 10 bis 16 Waggons.
(It that the steam locomotive, with 10 to 16 cars.)
How did I see this video on Facebook BEFORE i saw it here?
Because it was uploaded on Facebook first.🤷🏻♂️

Why is there always a diesel locomotive at the back?
Well the first clip shows no diesel on the back, so they're not always there and the main reasons have been listed in the description.

super really !! on the other hand, does the diesel push or is it in tow ?
It only pushes when negotiating steep gradients, otherwise it takes on the role of a generator coach (electricity and/or heating is provided for coaches from diesel engine generator e.g. at night).
It can also be handy for shunting duties once a rail tour is done and the coaches need to be stored.
@@pirozcontractor6006 thank you, I understood everything!
The diesel locomotive is also used to for reversals in and out of the London Termini.
Actually, I would realize that Australian Steam locomotives are just almost the same with almost same speed but just faster for a little bit.
0:23 clan line is really shifting abit
70022 Tornado @ 1.12? I bet that confused people? Maybe they were expecting the other ‘Tornado’!
And it says 70000 Britannia on the bar. Weird. Din't know there were 2 Tornadoes XD

Is it me, or do all Bullied pacific drivers like to open the taps?
Ollie Bulleid knew how to design the buggers to make 'em go, that's for sure....
12 voyajeur wagons is very strong !!
Clan Line with twelve on!
Why are there diesels pushing behind the coaches?
Not pushing, usually there as backup or other operational reasons.
If enroute loco fails then block section can be cleared quickly
All of them are faster than most of the Indian electric trains 😀

Shame about the diesel at the back pushing.
None of the diesels in this video were pushing.
This would’ve been a cracking concept for a Thomas episode, perfect excuse to bring Boco back

You may feel that, purely because they were there. But none of the 47's were pushing in all of these clips.
