- Just a little bit of fun. Did a couple of (rough) calculations and worked out that this is how 'Flying Scotsman' would be like if she was doing 100mph in steam days.
The locations included are Crofton, Pilning, Melton Mowbray and Charfield. I hope you like the video.

That must have been the most incredible thing to see back when those trains were new.
To see her still run at 100mph after all these years is amazing
This isn’t real. It’s sped up footage. She only runs at 75 now
Sorry to say it’s edited
Most likely, like cottage guy, she is doing 75 and it was sped up to 1.25x speed
With a diesel locomotive behind that is pushing.
@@ezioauditore1522 its not pushing
Man, imagine stopping at a grade crossing and then seeing this magnificent beast whiz along the tracks.
Arif Akyuz no
*Thomas in his Apple green livery*
Imagine if you DIDN'T stop !
I have done that It was cool
That would be an incredible site to see
My Grandparents neighbor was an engineer on the flying Scotsman and when I was 4 he arranged for it to stop for my Mum and myself in the village where we lived.
Very interesting
That is so cool!
Sure mate
That’s so sweet
Mrs Staff78 That's lovely
Just seeing how fast the pistons are moving the coupling rods on this beautiful machine. Such an amazing design~
What a beautiful relic of a bygone age.
You must be referring to me, dear friend!
The reserve diesel hanging on by it's fingernails at the back raises a smile!
I heard the Diesel is for lighting and other electrics in the meals car.
Why the hell do they have that ugly ass diesel at the back this is the flying Scotsman god damn it!
@@Porsche_Addict05 Electric power I imagine.
@@Porsche_Addict05 Electric power mate, the passanger cars are more modern than Scotty XD. THEY need elecyricity for the passengers comfort, such as lighting and AC/heating. That ugly thing at the rear is the reason: Its an electric generator on wheels, basically, but also can apply extra breaks in case of a real emergency need to.
@@Porsche_Addict05 dude did you just call the Class 47 ugly
"Gordon thunders down the lane" 😎
LMFAO
"Line"?
@@dalleneldredge6923 I think its lane, idk i dont remember.
@@thegr8ssk152 I asked my friend Google

"Express Coming Through!" Gordon booms as he thunders down the railway tracks 🛤️with the express.
Scotsman: I went a hundred miles an hour, and I can do it again! If only my whistle would stop squeaking
Had the privilege of riding on it when it was here in Australia in the mid eighties. Certainly an unforgettable experience. Magnificent piece of machinery.
lets not forget the permanant way lads , the endless carriage volunteers , and every one else who keeps this marvel alive , i salute you all .
After all of those years , this old piece of art still manages to fly off the rails like more Morden locomotives these days
For the 100th anniversary in 2023 there needs to be a celebratory 100mph run
whistle before: very nice!
whistle now: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Me: wtf
Forza horizon 4: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Always horrible
Reeeeeeeeeeeee!
It wasn't doing 100mph even with the Diesel at the back was pushing it along, these were slow. Maybe the video has been speeded up?
As a big papyrus fan, I’m happy to support his brother on a day like this. Happy birthday Scotsman.
I used to see this loco many times back in the 1950s & 60s going through Doncaster at high speed but never like this, it's a credit to all the staff who maintain these beautiful locos and many thanks for showing this video.
change the playback speed in the settings to 2 and it goes by at 200 MPH...lol ;-)))
Read my mind!
Boot Nreboot 😁
But don't leave it there or it will arrive at the next station way ahead of schedule.
😆😆
Flying Scotsman go”brrrrrrrrrrrrrt” haha
Thanks for presenting . . . truly awesome. Although a much overused word, these days, the FC's speed and power could hardly be better described . . . simply AWESOME!
Wow, I'd love to see this in person. It really lives up to the name! Just wow, there's a lot of drama with those fly-bys! The noise, the mechanicals all on display, the steam trail and of course the feeling of something that massive blowing by.
I was lucky enough to see the 4014 run in 2019 seeing something that big gradually accelerate is a marvel and intimidating! An engineering marvel that deserves the utmost respect.
Hard to believe those big locos can do that without throwing a driver. Awesome!
What an engine, a true legend. Many thanks for this video.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful! The filming was excellent. You resisted the often overuse of the telephoto lens and allowed the train to come to you therefore allowing the true experience of the speed. Thanks fir posting.
Totally agree. So many videos present the ridiculous spectacle of an express engine huffing and puffing and apparently doing 10 mph over badly twisted track.
What a beautiful sight , the majestic Flying Scotsman in full flight .
That is literally the fastest a Class 47 has ever gone.
only by 5 mph ;)
Wow ! Impressive on ANY level !!
Super Class 47 lol
100 Miles per hour.. 160 Kilometres per hour. For a steam locomotive, that is fast.
Absolutely beautiful
Cheers from South Africa
Wow! Impressive. Great filming, thank you.
Now that’s a sight to behold just magnificent 👍🏻
thanks to the smoke-trail, i got goosebumps starting from 44thsecond to 1minute....Nice video.
Loving the speed up
Now that IS awesome. My grandfather was a steam engine (and later diesel) engineer on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway
Such a beautiful sight seeing this
It makes perfect sense why folks over here in America were just gaga about her when she came here. I love our steamers but apart from being considerably bigger, they’re much more workman-like with only a few exceptions. Scotty is a true work of art, its paint, its technological capabilities, its styling and everything about her invigorates the imagination. Not bad at all for a 100 year old engine that death can never hold a candle to. I’ll see you in person one day❤️
poor diesel at the back struggling to keep up 😂
Объявление на станции: "Приближается скоростной поезд, отойдите от края платформы!"
Ждёшь электропоезд-экспресс.
Мимо тебя с грохотом и пыхтением на скорости быстрее электропоезда проносится это чудо!!!!
У нас пригородные экспрессы ходят со скоростью в 150км/ч (93 mph). Это красавец несётся 100, т.е. больше 160км/ч!!! Ему под сотню лет, но ладно скроен и крепко сделан. Моё почтение его команде!
Great. Beautiful beast. Steam locomotives are the proudest relics of the industrialised world. The Flying Scotsman is worth its name.
I remember watching the last scheduled run of the Flying Scotsman charge through Stevenage old station at 10:24 in the morning. The platform was packed with people.
Wow. Great shots. The old lady flying again!
Great - and professional camera work, Thumbs up!
HA, CAUGHT the Flying Scotsman! A top product in British railway construction! Even today. Thanks from Köln / Cologne. !
Express coming through!
Lol
Flying scotsman coming through
I was looking for this comment lol
I was about to comment that!
Freddy coming through
Driver: Alright, give it a pull!
Fireman: Pulls whistle
*REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Thanks thats great lovely to see it still running today,
I remember as a kid being taken by my OM to one of the local ECML stations in northern Northumberland - I remember the name began with a B, so that would make it either Beal or Belford. We saw an A4 hauled southbound approaching at very high speed - it could not have been far short of 100mph. What impressed me the most was the way the engine was swaying rapidly from side to side from the power of the pistons as they propelled the train down the track. As it roared through the station it was a very impressive site - a testimony of the genius of Gresley, the former LNER chief mechanical engineer.
Brilliant! Great camera jobbie!
Wow, really living up to her name! Great video! 👍
She’s going so fast it’s like the vid is on fast motion 🤩
Only one word, *Majestic* 🙏
Regards from India 🇮🇳
My dad was a fireman with GWR and he always told me stories of him being on the footplate of a couple of Castles that would regularly hit the ton on the way down to London from Cardiff and another thing he would always tell me was how scary it was hitting the Seven tunnel, we never knew if we were going to plough into a flooded tunnel.... I know this would have truly scared my dad because he couldn’t swim
The GWR mainline to Paddington was and still is a fine piece of railway. Classic Brunel, being engineered to the highest standard. I can only imagine what it must have been like to have been present on the footplate of a Castle at 100mph out on a line like this. Fascinating.
@@PrinceJohn84 Thanks for the reply… My dad loved his time on the footplate and he never stopped talking about it. I do believe my dad join the railways when he left school in the early 50s and left with the introduction of diesel, he did have the opportunity to go to South Africa with the driver he worked with but my mother wouldn’t emigrate.
Absolutely stunning and most marvellous thing ever forged by mankind❤
Fabulous, watching from Australia and having grown up in East Africa, I am used to hearing hearty masculine steam engine whistles, so I am amused, if not shocked that this magnificent machine is insulted by such a pissy whistle. It sounds like something off a kettle or out of a Christmas Cracker... love the footage regardless.
Infernal regulations dictate that vintage loco's must have a 'back-up' engine in tow! Great video!
That's amazing!👍🏼
A vintage legendary steam locomotive dashing at 100 mph!
Unbelievable and awesome!
lol.
Just try to read the description.
@@Septerrianin what do you mean?
@@thomastsangthomas1616 On original video this "vintage legendary steam locomotive" crawling at a AWESOME speed of about 20MPH :D
@@Septerrianin are you being sarcastic?
@@Septerrianin so where is the original video?
Great great work...epic video ...Thank you for sharing👍😉
These wonderful machines fascinate and bring out the child in you , regardless of your age .
when its september 1st and you're late for hogwarts
I saw the Flying Scotsman on display at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco around 1970. If I remember correctly, the tour didn't generate sufficient revenue so that the promoters had a difficult time getting it back to the UK. But look at her now!
My dad was instrumental in working with Alan Pegler to bring the Flying Scotsman to the USA in the late 60's and early 70's. I still have boxes of Flying Scotsman souvenirs that went unsold and recall hauling them to LA in an 18 wheeler and chasing it with loads of coal across middle America on its tour.
Oh I would love to have one of them. The scotsman is my favorite not german(as I am a German my self) steamengine
Thanks for the film it was great. Can anybody tell me why some locomotives got blinkers. You know those plates on the front sides. Did they work? ?
The Flying Scotsman is the famous steam engine in the world.
And Mallard?
@@EvaMark757 yes the fastes at her time
Most famous actaully
@@Porsche_Addict05 the big boy, the Erie tri-plex, tornado, ect
@@scotsmanproductions8224 yeah ik but flying Scotsman is the number 1 most famous
Which do you prefer a1 pacific tornado or a3 pacific flying scotsman
Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam more Steeeeeeeeeeeeam!
Great stuff, thanks👍
An engineering masterpiece.
Oh my God! That is an old transportation tool from another century made with old science and technology. But....but....it moves so fast that I do not believe my eyes. That steamed locomotive is super!
It's very impressive that these Steam locomotives can keep up with some modern trains, just shows how ahead of their time they were 👍🏻
To reach that speed with all that rolling stock behind.... amazing Loco.
Magnificent train in splendid livery :)
Is that part of the railway system Brunel designed?
I'm assuming the diesel is needed for braking power ?
That was beautiful 👌🚞 (no talking about train numbers and history).
Nice upload, thanks, from India.
Would be wonderful to be able to write on such a beautiful train with such class
There’s a loc at the back. Do they use that as a brake car?
Okay.... its Flying Scotsman... but I really hear Gordon theme in my head
Traveled with her in the 50's. London to Glasgow and back, two or three times, on annual holidays.
Well, it's not like she never did it before. I wonder if there was any motion footage of the famous run
Wow !! Beautiful on ANY level !!
Sometimes we forget what a REVOLUTION Railroading was.
I'm thinking it was maybe 1 of 4 Inventions that together changed the world, and out of which everything SINCE grew -
1. STEEL - Modern Steel Production
2. Rail-Roading ( Cars and airplanes, etc. grew out of the technology) AND the realization that EFFICIENT Transportation was a must
3. Air Conditioning - making unpopulat-able (? _;-)) !_ ) areas livable: Urban areas, homes, hot and arid areas
4. Long Distance Communications
But in my PERSONAL opinion, it took RAILROADING to bring it ALL to the WORLD !
What a BEAUTIFUL example of Art, Engineering and Human NEED all converging in this example of some of our BEST -
and most beautiful !
This is very amazing
Sir nigel gresley would be proud
Cheers to the people that rebuild the flying scotman
Nice video 😀
That desiel in the back reminds me when Gordon started off so quickly before they could uncouple Thomas from the coaches and he was dragged all the way to wells worth......lol
Lol, the sound of those MK1s!
guys can someone answer why in every video with old locomotive there is a new locomotive? i thought the old locomotive has the needed power but i see in video a newer one
Sometimes they put diesel electric locomotives in there to help with power if necessary, but they're mostly there so the train has dynamic braking capabilities like a modern combination. It's probably a safety issue, and likely a regulatory requirement.
Cool video and a thumbs up for you.
Grande !
As youngsters in Ireland, mon ami, we always loved it when the trains passed by at a leisurely rate, as it provided us a great chance to bounce a few ripe tomatoes off some of the pork-pie-faced blokes who stuck their mugs out the window/door openings. Mon Dieu, what fun. ESPECIALLY if they were holding a pint a' bitters that they then dropped!
Ho-Ho-Ho!...as Monsieur Santa would say.
Very excellent speed! 100 mph.
She's got one cute adorable little tiny whistle
To Lief Liltorp , the reason for the diesel loco is to provide extra braking in the event of emergency and auxiliary power to the the coaches , i.e lighting , heating , air con , cooking facilities ect, ect .
Burt Wallace Air con? In vintage coaches? Hmm.
Beautiful love it but why does it have a loco on the back??
How does that thing not wiggle every wheel loose?
Amazing engineering
Wonderful engineering
I wonder how many hours of maintenance it needs for every hour at 100mph. Lots I'd imagine
Gives me goosebumps.
Beautiful.
Majestic and alive.
That whistle was HILARIOUS😂!!!
Can I use this footage by any chance
It makes me cry, it's so emotional, in a modern era, seeing a "living-soul-steam engine" working as well!
🇮🇹
There is another loco banking the train at the rear. Wonder if it had a role to play in maintaining this speed.
Why is there a diesel at the back of the train (just curious)
