    Nice documentary, the a4s are certainly one the best express locomotives ever built. Also 4491 was going to be preserved but unfortunately it didn't happen

      I will be looking in to that at some point in the future

    In my opinion, the disposition of the Gresley A4s should have been 13 preserved; remainder scrapped.

    You should do a episode on the gwr halls class and gwr modified halls

      That is planned in the future but not sure if they'll each get their own episode or if I'll join them together

    I only disagree with the record being 125
    It's was official record on the paper from the dynamometer car paper roll as 126.4 and that is what it is
    But love the video

      Glad you enjoyed the video I was also surprised that Gresley didn't accept the readings but felt it was worth mentioning.

    It’s a shame that Silver Link didn’t make it into preservation. Billy Butlin wanted to buy Silver Link for his camp but the Eastern Region messed with him so he bought Duchess of Hamilton and Duchess of Sutherland instead.

    Are the JT A4’s featured in this video reskinned. They look so good! Especially the LNER ones. I have the BR ones and i swear they dont look that good!

    • @jameswright7284

      Hi yeah DDJP shot this almost exclusively with the JT A4s if I remember correctly

    It’s a shame that No. 4490 Empire of India didn’t make it into preservation. They would have No. 4490 donated to India if it was selected for preservation in India.
