-----------------------
A tragic tale of 3 brave little tank engines that went to help during WW1 but never made it there and indeed never made it home.
Hopefully you'll have never heard of the Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway, which is good. I hope you get to learn something new and that the story of the 2 missing locomotives gets discussed again.

[@DieselD7101]

It always sucks when engines are lost to history instead of being preserved.

[@gavinstricklin9512]

Agreed

[@aplane9625]

Big Bertha and the class 456: you can say that again

[@brenlc1412]

Fun Fact: Many a workmen will say that when the moon is full, they can see the little engines trying to get home… But they never make it.

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

Can't hear the name Bideford without thinking of James May

[@eliotreader8220]

I think some one has done a painting of the three engines crossing the bridge

[@Bulbasaur617]

Sad to see these tank engines lost. They would've been cool if they were preserved.
Cool video talking about these tank engines. Keep up the great work and take care.

[@Steam1937]

They wouldn't have been preserved even if they didn't sink

[@frankthediesel102p6]

Petition to rebuild more of the railway or atleast a replica of the locomotives

[@gavinstricklin9512]

Signed

[@pacermanthefan]

theres almost nothing left of this railway

[@antonio_but_really]

What an opening!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you, I tried to go for a more dramatic approach and this was the perfect subject matter for that.

[@kineticrail]

Been visiting bideford for years and was always intrigued by these locos and the railway. Great episode of guide rail ( even stayed in a camp on top of the formation)

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

Actually, yes, some of us have heard of the railway - and the mystery about the engines' fate. Good film, though,

[@thepacerman]

its nice to see some railway storys a bit more local to me 👍

[@ivoryfields2631]

North Western Railway of Sodor locomotive number 1 in the railway series be like :

[@paull2613]

No idea how fascinating thank you

[@Lamp_2155]

Would’ve been fascinating if those locos had existed and ran part of the line in preservation. It’s always nice when locos work at their original homes

[@Steam1937]

really great video, I hope we get some photos of that wreck.

[@greatwestern57]

As a cornish person, I find it really exciting that there could be an unknown wreck with two locomotives on board! (Its obviously quite sad though)

[@eliotreader8220]

lovely tribute to the three tank engines and their beautiful railway

[@OfficialTrainzGod]

Yes sir!
New terrier video!

[@RossParker1877]

You'll be interested in the Machrihanish railway in Argyll Max.

[@harrisonallen651]

7:29 so this is what Thomas would look like with cowcatchers?

[@tee6025]

“But I don’t catch cows sir!”
“They’ll all say I look like a tram!”

[@godzillafan2462]

[@user-mq9ul6xp4l]

Stepney shunting trucks to point out patreon support and other videos. 👍

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Were all three engines of the BHO&A 2-4-2 tanks?

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Yes, all three were the same design.

[@The_NW_EngineYT]

How am I already here-

[@stultusmcgee9099]

Erm… because you clicked on the video 🤓

[@StepneyStudios2011]

He ain’t lying

[@ListerDavid]

Love WW history, Steam history and Ship wrecks so this ticks all the boxes. 👍

[@user-zr5yj1od5q]

I always wondered why w/c class was called Westwood ho

[@sudrianrailwaystudios676]

If only the lost tank engines from World War I were preserved in present day instead of being lost forever…

[@bramdeheus718]

Where is that half a coach nowadays?

[@Apollo_Vanron]

Yes yes yes !

[@danny1983ish]

Be good if the 04s or the little tanks could be raised

[@Alextrains502]

Cool

[@Enzo-fk1tx]

Rest in pistons

[@memesteel4399]

What gauge did they run on?

[@Terrier55Stepney]

They were standard gauge, so compatible with the rest of the UK's mainline and in France.

[@LolLol-xy4rh]

What’s that map that you used?

[@Terrier55Stepney]

RailMapOnline. Very handy tool for tracing out old railway lines and canals.

[@W.E1522]

noooo not the little boy nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@noahmitchell7903]

Would be cool to make a Thomas-like story out of detailing the journey of the one little engine that went on until the 30’s

[@Daddy_donaldanddouglas]

Claim you "here before 1000" tolken here!
You really think i was begging for likes? Just reading this got you a spot! 837 spots left
