Those Great Locomotives - GER S69
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 07. 2023
- Locomotives which have captured the imagination of many, not with their size or strength- but sheer charm. The Great Eastern Railway's S69 was, for all it was worth, a well-travelled design that could go anywhere and attempt anything, despite being drawn up as the most powerful express locomotives for the Great Eastern by Frederick Russell. From Norwich to Aberdeen, how did they fare?

Nice
The B12 pulling the teak articulated set on the NNR… this is one of the most beautiful train ensembles in the world.
I love this series. You put a lot of research into it, bringing up often forgotten aspects of certain engines. The example here is Thompson being directly responsible for the 1930s rebuild.
I have a big soft spot for Great Eastern locos, and the S69 is one of my favourites (at least in its pre-grouping shape). It was the perfect expansion of the Claud Hamiltons and looked equally majestic in their dark blue liveries. Good thing one was preserved.
Ah yes, the B12. One of the most elegant 4-6-0s that thundered down the rails. Also, if you had to reinvent all seven of the idols in the Splatoon franchise as UK steam locomotives (I know that this is off topic but I still want to ask), what would you choose and why?
The B12 is a handsome loco, and I often run my model. I now live in former GER territory, and so it is a firm favourite. Thanms for naking shch an interesting & entertaining video.
Aaahhh, love the B12/S69's... I really do wish we could've gotten an RtR model of the S69/GER condition of the locomotive in OO scale. Don't get me wrong, the newer B12's look fantastic, but I've always fancied the belpair version with the skirts
I would absolutely kill for a model in a GER guise w/ the Belpaire-esque shaped Firebox.
This Engine is by far my favorite British steam engine. And its not really a famous engine overshadowed by the other classes of the later LNER but now you've given it its time to shine. this was very "nice" documentary on the class and later variants of it. I even learned things about it I didn't know.
Great video! The B12's are honestly one of my favorite steam locomotives, and I always love hearing more about they're history.
these locomotives always manage to look so picturesque. There's a reason i, as a Western and Southern fan, bought one before i got a bullied.
This is an awesone channel: really great graphics, looks so right.
They really do look good in any color. Very much like the ultramarine myself.

This is amazing i really like this sort of locomotive history videos with railworks footage
ah yes
I have a suggestion. Polish EN57, these are working since 1961 and are remarkably good and reliable.
PLEASE talk about the J36
Hello! i, uhm...would like to suggest a Locomotive class
They kinda look like the Claud Hamiltons but with an extra pair of driving wheels.
