Love the Flying Scotsman. A true icon for steam locomotives 🚂🚌🚌🚌🚌
Thanks Shawn - yeah she's a real classic :3
Cheers,
Sam :)
No
No you do it like these
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
I prefer the LNER flying Scotsman than the BR livery that she has today
I do too mate - it's a shame, but they are both nice to be honest!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I don't know. I like it in BR Green. But I feel it's more cahracterful in LNER green. The problem is though is that she has a double chimney, which she kinda needs as it's more efficient and I think due to mainline regulations (I may be wrong though). Because of that she also needs the smoke deflectors, I first saw her in LNER Green a few years before her overhaul and she also had the smoke deflectors and double chimney and it felt weird seeing her like that as she never had such features when in LNER days, but being like 7 at the time, this really didn't bother me and I quite liked it. And sadly for her to be truly authentic she needs to be in BR Green.
I agree
same
SAMs trains , a few things. this list was pretty awesome. the 9 f's class was everything you said but I honestly prefer them in their black livery. Also I would of liked to see a class40 in this list but that's okay considering that you featured city of truro's class. I look forward to seeing more videos like this. The getting started video was really helpful, and I really want go start on a model railway .
Thanks very much mate - ooh okay, that all sounds fair enough for me!
Thanks again for the nice comment,
Sam :)
It's actually quite hard to choose my favourite engine on your poll, Sam :D
But I had to go with the A1/A3.
haha! I know it is - sorry about that! But good choice - gorgeous locos those!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
It is ok.
Cheers, H
A great and quick running session, flying Scotsman was the first official 100mph record breaker but a couple of years later papyrus broke the record by hitting 108mph, breaking flying Scotsmans record. Keep the faith - Callum
Hi Callum, thanks a lot mate, and thanks for the info on the a3 too,
All the best mate,
Sam :)
Also The LNER A4 Pacific Silver Link did break all records by going at 112mph but afterwards one of the A4s named Silver Fox broke that record and exceeded by a bit by doing 113mph but later on a few years later the LMS Coronations Scot 6220 broke the record by doing 114mph
Thank you Sam. What a superb treat. Magnificent locomotives and coaches. The cow at the back of one is hilarious.
Many thanks Stephen - glad you enjoyed it, haha! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
An superb express episode! Always great to see some proper express engines doing what they were built for ;) Good mix of regions too. Very nice to see the GWR City Class feature too :) Though you got to love the Merchant! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much mate - yeah it's nice to let them fly once in a while! Thanks again for the lovely comment,
Cheers,
Sam :)
What a great video! I'm really loving this new express series especially since I have such a short attention span! : )
Thanks very much! Really glad you like the series, I've had great fun making them!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Ah, yes, YES! The Coronation looks beautiful inthe on-board shot...
Never seen Mallard in that livery before! Great video again Sam, I had some real good time.
Haha yeah, it really is a lovely model! Glad you enjoyed the vid mate, thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Sam :)
These videos are great! I just got into Hornby trains and my hobby shops in the US don't seem to know much about them. Your videos are really helping me with my new hobby. Thanks!
Thanks so much Kevin, and it's great to hear you got into Hornby, so I'm glad I could help - if there's ever anything you need to know, please don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks again,
Sam :)
Sliver Link Was Built In 1935 From The London And North Eastern Railway. Thanks Sam'sTrains Mate. X
Very cool Luke, thanks a lot for the info! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I love the merchant navy as unbuilt version. good vid as always Sam!
Thanks Callum - yeah I love them unrebuilt too - though I'm not fussed!
Cheers,
Sam :)
unrebuilt bullieds were known as 'spam cans'
Oh yeah! I can definitely see why too, lol!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Wow that coronation was flying!! Yeah the merchant navies broke 100mph extremely often towards the end of steam apparently! All the best mate --- Ben
haha absolutely! Ooh that's very cool - glad to hear they did well hehe!
Cheers,
Sam :)
this video got me to get out my book on high speed trains through the ages from city of Truro to the bullet trains in Japan
aparently on the 6th June 1932 no5006 Tregenna Castle whilst taking the cheltenham flyer covered the 77.3 miles from Swindon to Paddington in 56 3/4 minutes and at an average speed of 81.7 mph and for 28 miles they never went less than 92 mph
"To the end of British steam, the start-to-stop average speed registered that afternoon was never excelled by any regular service train."
Blimey!! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that - it's fascinating to hear about the achievements of these locos!
Thanks again, much appreciated,
Sam :)
great video sam!!
Thanks very much Tom! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
This is another great video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much mate - really glad you liked it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
nice video sam keep up the good work and all the best
Thanks very much as always Glen - I will try to!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great fun, I love Silver Link, she looks stunning :) I think the City class did make the 100, Coronations are also beautiful, Merchant Navy class regular performers Waterloo main line at 80-90mph. Scale speeds can be calculated based on measuring your track, I bet you had a scale speed of well over 100.
Thanks a lot Mike - yeah that silver link is a stunner - very fond of that one! Thanks for the info on the speeds - yeah I agree, I think she looked faster than she should have, haha!
Thanks again for watching and commenting,
Sam :)
Great video Sam!!!!!
Thanks very much Roy, glad you liked it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great fun thanks Sam!!
Thanks Paul! Appreciate it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is amazing! So many beautiful things! But a question, you did fastest why not do strongest?
Thanks so much - glad you liked them! I don't know really - I just happened to choose fastest, I could do strongest too though! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I'll stay tuned! Also I got a wild idea for the most powerful steam locomotive ever made...
Neon Tube your right
Very nice and fast!
My favorite was the Coronation Class, That speed was so scary and cool.
I thought she would derail.
haha thanks mate - yeah it was scary - I thought that too, but she performed perfectly! :D
Thanks for watching mate,
Sam :)
although I'm hardly an expert, I think it was the city of Truro that hit 100 miles an hour first. by the way, great channel and I love the streamlined coronation class
Ahh okay Brian, many thanks for the info on that - much appreciated!
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
City of Truro is recorded as doing that, but it was basically a guy timing quarter of a mile posts. Not reliable, especially given watch technology at the time. Flying Scotsman was the first to 100% definitely officially do it
I can't decide between the A3 and the City class. I love the A3's style and overall appearance, but that City class has some real gilded age charm. The livery on that Merchant Navy you were showing off is lovely as well. Can't beat BR blue.
Yeah you're absolutely right - they're both fantastic, but for very different reasons - the charm of the city class is very rare in my opinion!
haha yeah - definitely can't beat BR blue!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Cloud you do a running session about locomotives that set standards.
For example Stephenson's rocket
The first locomotive with a belpair fire box etc
Yeah that's a nice idea - with records too etc??
Good one mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam,
Just wondering if you could do a Silver Jubilee loco review as there isn't many around and I'm thinking of buying one in the near future.
all the best
- Lewis
Hi Lewis, thanks for the comment mate - is that a silver A4?? I don't have one of those sadly, but I do have Silver Link - which I'll be reviewing quite soon hopefully!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Yeah the Silver Link, sorry, I didn't make to very clear in the previous comment.
Thanks for the response,
Lewis
Always love the merchant navy class. I recently took the risk and renumbered mine, she now sits as 35006 peninsular and orient. I like to number them to what I've seen in person
Thanks Jake - yeah I've loved those for a long time too! Blimey, that is risky - but I bet it payed off, does she look good?? :D
Thanks for commenting mate,
Sam :)
Yeah really risky as it was my first time renumbering instead of a full repaint but most definitely worth it. She looks brilliant, red nameplates, etched smoke box number (gotta love modelmaster).
beautiful locos, and beautiful video :)
Thanks very much - that's so kind of you!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Interesting video. Maybe it was the duchess of hamilton (Coronation class) that reached 114mph. Wow I never new the merchant navy class were that fast, blimy!
Good video as always 😃
Thanks mate! Yeah maybe - she was definitely one of the famous ones! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Awesome highballing!!!!!! As we’d say in the US when it comes to running engines fast!!!! LOL
I love your City Class since I have a HUGE soft Spot for City Of Truro, the Merchant Navy was a CLOSE second favorite!!! :)
haha thanks mate - ooh I love the City too, just superb that one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam! For the next running session, could you do a 0-6-0 running session? AWSOME video!
All the best
-Toby
Hi Toby - amazingly I've just filmed an 0-6-0 running session today - It'll be out in a few weeks!!! :D
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
Brilliant video well done sam my favourite was the coronation one and mallard bye for now Philip
Thanks Philip - great choices there!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What a nice bunch of engines good video Sam 😊 oskar
Thanks a lot Oskar - really glad you liked them!
Thanks for watching mate,
Sam :)
great video mate!! some great fast locos today , especially that coronation was going quick !! although I do think tornado might beat her in a race?? they are fast to , also is that mallard correct it appears to have a single chimney!! -all the best mate
Thanks very much! Yeah she really was - I don't know, I'd have to race them to find out - probably though! I'm not too sure actually- maybe some of them did have a single one??
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains sorry the one I'm meaning is the one in the thumb nail !!
I love the look of the streamline locomotives! So aerodynamic!! 😁 Is that 100% power? Did you have any come off the rail? 🤔👍
haha me too - yeah they look amazing with the streamlining! Only the coronation did 100% power - that one's not fast enough to come off the track, but some of them definitely are!
All the best,
Sam :)
@@SamsTrains your funny sam
@@SamsTrains if they all ran 100% , you may need to get some repairs for em
@@SamsTrains2:30 - what song is this?
Hey Sam you should do a series of video on building a new layout because I think that people would enjoy watching you build another layout , also if you do the new layout you could do a time lapse showing your progress of every video :)
I agree people would love that - if I ever build a new layout, I'll definitely film the process!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Flying Scotsman was the first official authenticated of going 100mph when she was an a1. Papyrus was the prototype for the a3 modifications. And was able to do, um I think 108. Which was the highest speed for an umstreamlined steam locomotive
Hi Iain, thanks a lot for the clarification and the information - yeah I remember reading that it was the highest speed for an umstreamlined steam locomotive, very impressive really!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Sam I just did some research and it said that it was eather GWR's City of Touro or the Flying Scotsman. Also great video which I had all of the trains you do.
Thanks Trainboy - yeah generally it's a toss up between those two! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice. : ) you should double head a fastest steam loco from each of the big 4 at the end. Will there be diesel version of this with deltics and hst?
Thanks Luke! Yeah that would have been a great idea! Yeah I could do actually - if I can figure out what the fastest diesels were! :D
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
The Flying Scotman Wasn't Actually the first steam locomotive to reach 100 MPH, it was the 3rd, the 1rst was a german secret locomotive, the 2nd was City Of Trouro, Coty Of Trouro's top speed was 102 MPH, that was 30 years before The Flying Scotsman!
Yes I've heard about those - I don't think Truro was ever officially recorded at that speed though was she?!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, Can you do an express review on all of the pictures you have on your wall ?
Cheers, H :D
Hi H, that's a nice idea - do you mean the wall of fame, or the photos I have up??
Cheers,
Sam :)
The Photos you have up. I suppose you could do both.
Cheers, H
Now THAT is what I call an *express* review! :)
haha yeah - it definitely flew by! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
You have the Tardis from Doctor Who in your setup!!! I love it!!!!😍
haha absolutely! Glad you liked that, hehe!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Flying scotsman is my favorite locomotive. Anyways great running session!
Ahh that's great to hear - Scotsman really is fantastic!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, nice vid, love a loco in full cry...
As for City of Truro... well thats a thorny issue, even between us GWR types. For everyone who claims she couldn't have done it you will find one who will claim she could. I tend to fall into the later camp. Reasons? well a lot of the ex-drivers who claim they couldn;t have reached those speeds drove the Cities in the 1930s; long after they had been booted off the fastest trains by the four cylinder 4-6-0s and were ending their days on cross country routes and secondary trains before withdrawal and as they were considered out dated by then were not always in the best condition.. When the claimed 102mph was reached in 1904 they were new, and in peak condition. They had a reputation of being damn fast back in those days. Rous-Martin, the guy who calculated the 102mph was a respected railway man. Her wrote for The Railway magazine, and timed a lot of trains, often at the request of various companies to evaluate their locomotives performance while in service. I believe the NRM has his notes these days and his calculation on the City of Truros speed have been validated. Of course thats if his timings were right in the first place. He recorded several other fast runs behind City class locos, with others being clocked at around the 95 - 97 mph mark, often with heavier trains than that the Truro was hauling that day. Considering Truro was only pulling a very light train, four boogie mail vans, and was on a steep, 1:60 downhill bank at the time I reckon the 102mph was entirely possible.
However the speed was calculated by passing times, not by dynameter readings, and errors in timings could have been made, so the truth will never be known, but it does make for interesting discussions in the pub though.
Have a great week mate
Jon
PS, You a bit of a jazz fan? noticed your playing a lot of jazzy stuff on these vids.
Hi Jon, thanks very much for the comment mate!
Yeah it's definitely a thorny issue - but you made some very good points, I never considered their degradation due to age before - maybe I'm persuaded!
Yes I am a big Jazz fan - especially Fats Waller of course!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
I think when the coronation class went for the speed record it almost derailed at a curve. That would have been scary! My favourite of the bunch is probably the merchant navy as well, since I like the look of its livery and the sense of speed and power it has.
haha yeah I heard that story too - apparently it did derail, but was fixed? I don't know though! Yeah, got to love the Merchant navy - you really do get that sense of power with it!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
My favourites in those classes are of course the city class, A4 Pacific and the Flying Scotsman!
Ooh great choices - yeah those are awesome!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Cheers bro😁
There is just something relaxing about watching this
That's great to hear - thanks very much!
Cheers,
Sam :)
hey i am back and loving your videos!
Hey! Welcome back - I'm really glad you like them! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
My favourite one was Mallard but in the LNER blue.
Blue is my favourite colour too.
Ahh good choice - I can see why! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You are costing me money & space. I live in the colonies, & do you know how hard it' is to find British trains here. I fell in love with the A4s you run, lucky to find the blue scheme. I have to repaint Thomas couches. I live in an apartment (flat) & I ran out of room for trains. You see I'm a Delaware & Hudson RR modeler. Yes being American I have long trains I run at my train club. Mind you at the club you must at least run 2 engines to pull a drag, hills require a helper or 2. For the club a small train 30 or so cars. Our rr product is steel so a coal drag of 100 hoppers is not usual to see. I enjoy your reviews on the models you showcase.
The City of Truro actually did go 100mph as the first, because according the the Great Western Railway history, it fixed the record before the Flying Scotsman, in 1904 or something, but it was never officials recorded , and therefore it was neglected to be the first.
Yeah I've heard that before too - but there's evidence to suggest that it wasn't true, but we'll never know for sure!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I do not have any tendered locos but I do have a blue raiper and the inter city shunter from hattons. May u review it
Ooh those sound awesome- yes I might be able to review those one day! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hey Sam. Not wanting to sound baggy but would it be alright if u did a video about strong locomotives
Hi Jack, that's a nice idea actually - I might do that, thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Sam :)
My favorite was the Merchant Navy also are you reviewing the Hornby James?
Awesome, I love that one too! Yeah James is coming soon - though Percy's coming first! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
can you please review your newer railroad as I think you replied it was flying scotsman
Yeah it was the flying scotsman - I'll try to do that some time! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
Nice selection, City class was my favourite. Just out of interest, do you have anything O gauge?
Thanks very much mate! No sadly I don't own a thing in O gauge :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi sam
I recently got my model of the Hornby flying scotsman and I'm not sure but when it stops does it slow down but doesn't stop emidietly.
Hey Charlie - that's quite normal, that's just because it has a flywheel fitted to the motor!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
AHHHH I LOVE IT! I WISH THEY BRING MALLARD BACK TO LIVE, IF THEY DID, IM MOVING TO BRITAIN!
Thanks Gennaro - I wish they would too - maybe they will one day! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nooooooooo! First maths homework, now a dentist appointment.
Just Kidding great vid Sam, these are becoming very popular as fast as i know.
haha ooh that sounds harsh ;)
Thanks though mate - thanks a lot for your comment, yeah they seem to go down quite well!
All the best,
Sam :)
Great video express video keep it up when will be the next request running video also my request for it is the rocket pulling bullman and her carragies sorry for spelling
Thanks Liam, glad you enjoyed it! I'm not too sure when that request video will be - I have so many videos queued up, but it will happen - I just don't know when!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains how do you know my name
Could you possibly do a running session on older models, as in Hornby railways more classic models
Yeah sure! I've done lots of videos like that already - check out the tri-ang running session - they were the precursor to all later Hornby locomotives!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Coronation:at that speed she could beat mallard! Great vid man
haha I know - it was pretty crazy!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
haha great video Sam a little mistake mate The Flying Scottsman was the first to break the 100km speed barrier not Papyrus. Stills great video 👍👍
Thanks Jack! Yeah that's right - sorry about that mate! Glad you liked it though,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hiya Sam. Grand job there matey!
Can I ask is your mallard 60022 tender or loco driven? Thanks Sam
Hi Dave, thanks again mate - glad you enjoyed it! Yeah that mallard is loco driven - it's the railroad version!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Reason I asked Sam, when I came into the hobby, toward the end of last year, I bought the 60022 tender driven model off ebay as a non runner. I've picked at it over the months and finally she's not far off running again. The final hurdle is finding replacement drive wheels off the loco. At some point a screw has been broken off in the centre wheel. I have no paperwork for her so part numbers have been difficult to find. I have bought a couple of random sets from various places, but had no luck! Saw yours and got quite excited. lol
Thanks again mate. I'll keep looking
Ah okay mate! Yeah good luck with it - I hope you can get her sorted! :)
If there's anything that I could help with, please do let me know,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Were you being sarcastic when you said Papyrus did 100mph first?
haha! No I don't think so?! D:
A4 and Princess Coronation Class are my two favourites out of them
Great choices - I love those too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Quick question, why was mallard stopped when you were introducing silver link? I assume it’s because you filmed it first? Regardless I love the videos when the engines go at speed!
Edit: my favorite is the Merchant Navy Class a close second is silver link
I can't remember mate - sometimes I do film things a bit out of sequence!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains yea this was quite awhile ago!
I love these faster trains it was what got me started :)
That's awesome - yeah they are awesome at speed! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
great job mate
Thanks very much mate! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
I have seen city of turo and been on the foot plate also behind it in a coach and theres a possibility that might. have done 100mph
Ahh very nice - there are lots of people who do believe that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I actually saw one of the coaches Used on the lms 'Royal scot' trains, on my trip to east lancs.
But gosh calm down princess you'll shred ya walschaerts
haha! That's cool - I always get excited when I see coaches and things that I own in 00 scale - pretty sad I know, haha!
Thanks for commenting,
Sam :)
Fun fact: city of turuo was the first ever train and to go 100mph, 20 years before flying Scotsman was built and 70 years before papiirus was built. (Papirus was built in 1970)
That's definitely claimed - though there's no real proof of truro's record! Thanks a lot for the comment and fun facts! :D
Pretty sure no A1s were built in 1970 though ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains my mistake, I was thinking of a German train that went 120 mph, and I think papirus is an A3
I like the a1. Vary distinctive.
Thank you! I like the A1 too :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
What about the a1 peppercorn?
Sam you missed the Celtic and the 125 and a lot of others but still an amazing record and you forgot to say that the flying Scotsman won record for being the first nonstop locomotive to go straight to London to Scotland . Cheers Archie
Hi mate, yeah I did miss those - but I'll probably do a separate diesel version! Yeah that's true too - another record for the Scotsman!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Does anyone else know about the A4 Golden fleece. I have a hornby duplo one but sadly it doesn't work however it is a free runner.
I don’t know much about it! Do you mean it’s wheels turn freely? If so, it may be missing the armature!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes unfortunately it is missing its armature but I think the reason is because is over 10 years old and I only got it a few weeks ago in a box. A big box.
6:57 lol bulmans having him self a ride with the merchant navy engine but only just spotted him haha
haha very well spotted!! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Is there a model of the German 4-6-4 locomotive that hit 125mph just before Mail art raised it ??
I'm not sure about that - I can google it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
what is the fastest loco on your model railway? when they are going 100% full speed?
an old video yes, but I feel the need for correcting. it *was* Flying Scotsman to *officially* clock 100. perhaps not *the* first, but the first to be recorded.
Ahh okay, thanks a lot for the info! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi there sam! I saw little track of the right the one with the siding. What will you do it?
Is that the one near the crane? Unfortunately that's had to be cut off - it's just used for storing locos now :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
lol when i started this vid i was running the A4 mallard on train sim 2018 (one of my top 3 favorite games) and was doing 134 mph down sherman hill (sadly i derailed because i forgot to brake for a certain corner, i knew it existed but didnt remeber which one until i derailed at it, then did it again and made it all the way to the end)
Ooh that's cool - I want to try the A4 in train simulator actually! Hope you didn't break the loco ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I love it. Where could i get mallard?
Hey Mike - take a look on the Hatton's website, they may have one for you! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I saw the city class slide when trying to stop
haha yeah! She does that from those high speeds!! :D
All the best mate,
Sam :)
Nice model Sam 💎
Thanks very much Isiah! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I'm rather fond of the streamlined Mallard locomotives. Here in the USA there was an "Art Deco" period of streamlining steam locomotives that produced several rather beautiful designs. I wish manufacturers would release or re-release those streamlined beauties.
Thanks a lot Scott - me too, the Coronations were definitely a product of the Art Deco era - if you're familiar with those?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Although your area of expertise is UK railroading and mine is USA, I enjoy seeing what the UK has produced and the sorts of Motive Power and Rolling Stock is made for your market. Is there a way to contact you that is NOT public? I have some photos of my era and models I scratch build. Along with questions regarding your layout that may not be suitable for public scrutiny. (as well as posting my eMail addy for spammers to gleefully add to their flood lists. LOL :-P XD )
The A4 Silver Link seems to have the biggest resemblence of Spencer from Thomas
Yeah that's definitely true! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Not to stress you Sam so papyrus did 105/106 so what is flying Scotsman in it did it do quicker is is it just stronger
haha that's okay - I think the Scotsman may have beaten it, but papyrus did it first if I remember correctly - don't quote me on that though!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Plus it did hold the title of fastest train in Britain and it was coronation her self that got it off the l.n.e.r. Then the l.n.e.r took mallard out for a brake test and took back the speed record soon after.
Ah very interesting - I didn't realise the coronations were ever the fastest, thanks for that!
All the best,
Sam :)
I also love that merchant class
Oh me too - there's nothing else quite like them!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
the corination what did a fast run was dutchess of hamilton (mallards rival)
did u have a blue corination belting it at full speed haha as all i saw as a blue blure haha
haha I know - I need to do this again at 60fps, then hopefully it won't just be a blur ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains lol it probly acted like a blur when it heard u say rediculouse speeds witch gives me this as a suggestion that you could do a video of big locos vs small locos on witch can floor it the fastest haha
Literally the first video I've found on this channel where the comments aren't turned off.
haha, you must have been watching a lot of my kids videos then ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Mallard actually looked quite amazing in that green livery.
When I played trainz 2006 demo the flying Scotsman went a 111 mph or was it 114 mph?!
Oh really? That's pretty cool - that's probably a tad fast for an A3, but it's in the right ballpark!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
could you do a video where you test the train's strength? I did this with my trains and it was fun!
Yeah that's a good idea! Look at my video on the Wrenn strength test - I did something very similar there! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
k thanks :)
Also the 2nd fastest steam loco was an american loco, it could go 125 MPH pulling freight, if it wasn't pulling all that it could totally go faster than the Mallard!
Ooh cool - I didn't know about that! :O
Sam, in your next request video could you have your new b12 doubleheading with you older apple green b12? pulling some mixed freight? Thank you! PS you're my favorite model train youtuber!
That's a very good idea - I'll see what I can do mate! :D
Thanks a lot for the kind words - that's very nice of you!
All the best,
Sam :)
125.88 mph, had stink bomb attated,(aniseed, when the boiler overheats the aniseed would melt releasig a smell alerting the driver to slow down)
haha! ;D
