I gotta give it to ya Sam, you never fail to impress. When I saw the thumbnail with the Mallard and the G2A, I lost it.

The unique engines are the most interesting to me and I loved it along with the attempted recreations you did. Brings back a lot of nostalgia, good show Sam.
Great recreation trains Sam! I really enjoy this video! You should get a Bachmann Pannier in either GWR black or BR black. It would be a cool review to see
Hi Sam, autocoaches were used as follows- autocoach - engine autocoach - engine - autocoach autocoach - non corridor coach - engine autocoach - non corridor coach - engine - autocoach If more coaches were needed a second engine had to be added to the end furthest away from the other engine, and that second engine was used to drag the whole train in the opposite direction to the autotrain and was not connected to the autotrain controls. 2 engines, 2 drivers, 2 firemen and 1 guard to transport a few passengers a couple of stops, bonkers and losing money every trip. On GWR they were used to reduce the turn round time at terminus stations as no engine run round was required. I watched 3 videos about this earlier today and made notes, I'm not a nerd, I am a precise enthusiast, honest. Great video
Here are the trains for 1960: 1 (Axminster Lyme Regis): LSWR 415 class №. 30583 (the preserved №. 488) pulls a single coach. In the background, a rebuilt Merchant Navy pulls the Atlantic Coast Express, and a West Country pulls another express train. 2 (Tavistock): Several LSWR T9s pull passenger trains. Another Bulleid Pacific pulls the Atlantic Coast Express. 3 (Barmouth): Two GWR 3200 class locomotives, or "Dukedogs," double head a train in Wales. They pass the Talyllyn Railway, where №. 4 Edward Thomas pulls a passenger train, before two class 4 4-6-0's take over. Both Dukedogs go "light" back to Barmouth. 4 (Perth): Pat and John went to Perth to film two Caledonian Railway Class 72 locomotives (also called the "Caley Bogies" or the "Dunalastair V"), the last 4-4-0 locomotives built for that railway. Good luck finding a model of the class 72 :p. Other locomotives that appear include several Black Fives; an LNER Class V2 (not 60800 Green Arrow); Thompson B1 61244; an NBR class S (LNER J37); a Midland 4F; a Caledonian class 439; an Ivatt Class 4 Mogul; and an LNER K4. 5 (to Aviemore): The Class 72's pull a double header to Aviemore on the ex-Highland line. A mail coach is at the front of the train. 6 (Spey River Line): GNSR Class F Gordon Highlander pulls two coaches. 7 (Newcastle): at the ex-NER locale a parade of LNER locomotives can be seen, including several J72's; a J21; a Thompson A2/2; an A3; a J39; and a J27. 8 (York): More LNER locos along with several designs in the National Railway Museum. Among them, there is an A4 (but not 60022 Mallard); a Peppercorn A1; another J72; a Standard 9F (probably not 92220); and the ubiquitous Thompson K1. 9 (Cromford and High Peak Railway): a former LNWR line with J94s picking up loaded wagons of limestone while "empties" make their way up. An LMS Kitson 0F and an NLR Class 75 can also be seen.
Hi Sam, A few notes regarding Autocoaches. First, the throttle linkages which connected the coaches and engines were handed, To connect to the engine and operate correctly, the coaches always had to be coupled to the engine with the driving cab on the coach always facing away. The linkage could not be made up with the cab facing the engine. It did not matter which end of the engine the coach was coupled to. Also to identify the odd looking Autocoach in the Roundabout film, that was a standard GWR non-corridor Brake 3rd converted to an Autocoach by GWR or BR (depending on the specific diagram). More often then not these were used in Wales. Thanks, Zach
Thank you for doing my local branch lines and yes the the Monmouth to Ross branch terminated at Monmouth Troy the pannier tank from later is from Chepstow (the line ran via tintern)
2:25 due to slack in the throttle coupling, the lead coach could only be the 2nd vehicle from the engine. Hence sandwich arrangements with 3 or more coaches. Chris Eden-Green went into a lot of detail on this.
Hi Sam. The second sequence was shot between Redditch & Evesham at Broom Junction & Salford priors. BR closed the section between the tunnel at Redditch & Evesham on 6th July 1964. The tunnel at Redditch and the fact that they had negligently run the track bed down contributed to their ability to justify this despite the fact that a New Town was planned between Redditch & Studley.
Following restoration, 1000 was taken from Derby to the Wirksworth branch line for publicity photos, which I have copies of. My dad was the fireman on that run!
That is fun! I am trying to recreate the train from the film "Breakheart Pass". It uses a 2-8-0 consolidation, a baggage car, kitchen sleeper, passenger and a couple of other cars with a caboose.
The issue with old footage like railway roundabout is it rarely shows the whole train, particularly with freight trains. This if this wasn't the case it would be even more useful to modellers as a primary source. 8:45 is a good exception.
I have the DVD with the episodes of railway roundabout on it. Its a great watch especially the part when they show trains going up the steep hill at Bromsgrove in Worcestershire with a banking engine. I have another DVD on steam locomotives that show Bewdley station on the Severn Valley Railway in the early 1960's before they decided to close the line. Its amazing to see how much hasn't changed at the station and the Bewdley town itself.
This is what I do with my model trains purchases. I have many, many books and photos online and I find equipment that I see in the photos. The search is part of the enjoyment for me!
That one was quite nice! I’m pretty sure the pannier tank was hauling a different train. The colours of the coaches differ. Engines were overhauled about every 3 months or so just to check aal the bearings and the boiler and such. I’m pretty sure there’s a film called “general repair” which takes you through the process. That “industrious plant” was probably a coaling station, where locomotives would get coaled up in the morning.
Nice recreations of one of the scenes or parts from Railway Roundabouts! I remember you did something like this back in 2018 I believe and I wasn’t expecting you to get around to doing this again! So far, nice recreations you’ve made with the scenes from Railway Roundabouts! They look really nice, especially one of the past steam locomotives from British Railways! 😃👍
Nice one Sam. It's fun trying to recreate trains from videos or photos isn't it or even just trying to make up a formation that we may have seen at a preserved line.
You’ve most likely seen it, but there’s a brilliant video on here of princess Elizabeth being overhauled in BR days. It takes you right through the whole process with the “well spoken man” narrating. He must have been very busy between 1940 and 1965!
That was great Sam . I watched Railway Roundabout on the BBC when i was still a young child in the 1950's early 1960's . I think i must have seen them all at that time . We only had one channel Black and White television in those days. I now have the DVD's of them although the format presentation is not quite what it was at that time .
In short : I do not like it, I LOVE it ! Reconstructing scenes from the past with today's model trains, that's really what I like. Especially by you. One idea : recreating barry's scrapyard with the Heljan Tango and the 1361...
The Fort William recreation looks great 👌 the locomotive is a 'K2', derived from Gresleys K1 with a larger boiler. Peppercorn K1s were used on this route later so it makes a good substitute! Great formation with the fish vans Cheers
I enjoyed that thoroughly, Sam. More videos like this would be great, though obviously there are only so many that you can reproduce from your own collection.
Hi Sam, nice video, we were lucky enough to have a tv set when I was a kid and I couldn't wait to see railway roundabout, bbc, children's hour, pat whitehouse presented it, great for us train spotters
Being a modeller of BR LMR 1958-1960 and a devotee of railway roundabout, I tuned in to your video with keen interest. I really enjoyed watching it! One thing Sam....those old Lima BR MK1's with LMS on the side aren't really accurate for any period...Also you need to get some ex Stanier coaches...both Bachmann and Hornby produce excellent versions. Their MK1's are also fantastic! Thanks for your effort with this, your videos are a ray of sunshine!
There’s 1990s rereleases of the railway roundabout by the national railway museum. They did programs of express passenger locomotives of both the big fours, and the British Railways, and one solely on the British Railways locomotives. Don’t know how long they’ll be up before the copyright claims take them down. Gotta take advantage of it as long as possible.
This video is certainly up for people wibbling in the comments about inaccuracies, you have no idea how hard I am keeping myself restrained ;) (Gordon highlander is green and is currently on display at the Glasgow transport museum, sorry I had to wobble about one thing)
haha that's okay - I never claimed to be accurate, so there wouldn't be much point! ;) Ooh awesome - I'd love to go and see that! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The Railway Roundabout seems like a great show!! Only wish I could’ve been born long enough back to see it! Nice vid Sam, love the locos! (But not more than you!!) Thanks for making the vid!!!!!!! Seeya!!!!!
You may not have been very accurate in recreating Railway Roundabout steam trains from 1959, but I liked it. Just be careful that wind turbine doesn't interfere with turntable movements, or James the Red Engine could get spun round like a top. Like he did in the Thomas & Friends story Tenders & Turntables, that is. I was trying not to utter two certain words, but I can't hold back any longer. Curse you, Sam! Thanks to you and your Resolven Grange engine, I've wound up finding the exact same engine and Overton Grange (pristine) in Chester Model Shop. They've been put aside so I can buy them. Plus, don't let this make your mouth water, a 00 scale Fish & Chips Shop is due to be bought by me. Fancy sharing some with me? Lol.
Nice video. The ex-GWR coaches behind the Prairie are a 'B' set, permanently coupled together and used extensively on minor lines. I think Hornby used to make them and they could do with releasing an updated version. I'm sure they would sell well to GWR/BR modellers. Cheers.
I'm not sure if you know Sam but by pairing up the Caley Single and T9 you were actually able to recreated a rail tour from 1963 in my neck of the woods albeit just under 30 years before I was born.
@@SamsTrains no problem Sam, I think there's some video footage of the tour on the Bluebell Railways CZcams channel. Thanks for the reply, always enjoy your videos👍 .
Interesting video. Love the q6 shots, need to get one for myself (was running my super d earlier). Any loco, given enough power from a standing start, will wheelslip as it suddenly accelerates.
It's a nice change of pace; doing a little roll around with various engines like this. I hope that you do more :)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I gotta give it to ya Sam, you never fail to impress.
When I saw the thumbnail with the Mallard and the G2A, I lost it.
The G2A was my most favorite to look at with the LNER B12 in second, the J94 in third, and the list goes on.
The unique engines are the most interesting to me and I loved it along with the attempted recreations you did.
Brings back a lot of nostalgia, good show Sam.
Thanks so much - really glad you liked that! Yeah the G2A is always really popular! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains always glad to make someone smile.
Great recreation trains Sam! I really enjoy this video! You should get a Bachmann Pannier in either GWR black or BR black. It would be a cool review to see
Thanks so much - I would love to actually!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I subscribed
To both of you
Nice video!
0:38 you forgot EDIT: Now you have done it.
2:00 the 14xx is facing the wrong way.

Hi Sam, autocoaches were used as follows-
autocoach - engine
autocoach - engine - autocoach
autocoach - non corridor coach - engine
autocoach - non corridor coach - engine - autocoach
If more coaches were needed a second engine had to be added to the end furthest away from the other engine, and that second engine was used to drag the whole train in the opposite direction to the autotrain and was not connected to the autotrain controls. 2 engines, 2 drivers, 2 firemen and 1 guard to transport a few passengers a couple of stops, bonkers and losing money every trip.
On GWR they were used to reduce the turn round time at terminus stations as no engine run round was required.
I watched 3 videos about this earlier today and made notes, I'm not a nerd, I am a precise enthusiast, honest.
Great video
Many thanks for this, appreciate it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is just a fun video to watch for any train enthusiast! Great video!
Thanks so much - glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
No words can describe how lovely this video is
Awhh thank you so much!! :D
When it comes to model train arrangements of Locomotives and cars imaginative comes into play as well
I really hope you'll do more of these in the future! I really like these kinds of videos. Good one!
Thank you!! I'll certainly try more again one day, appreciate it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I am so proud to see the Caledonia run! That is the prettiest blue I’ve ever seen. Hands down my favorite train.
Me too - it's lovely isn't it?! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
*Just Watched "Oh Mr Porter" Again. The Black And White Footage Made Me Feel Like I Was Watching It Again!*
Ahh fantastic - yeah I know the one!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hadn't you already done this?
Fab video as always.
More RT3!
Yeah I did 1958 before! :D

Seeing Mallard in green is always unexpected, given how iconic her garter blue livery is. But she's a beauty either way.
Yeah absolutely - it's a lesser-seen livery for sure! :D

That Midland Compound on the Worcestershire branch line was “41157” and guess what, your Bachmann Midland compound is also “41157”
I enjoyed that thoroughly, Sam. More videos like this would be great, though obviously there are only so many that you can reproduce from your own collection.

You may not have been very accurate in recreating Railway Roundabout steam trains from 1959, but I liked it. Just be careful that wind turbine doesn't interfere with turntable movements, or James the Red Engine could get spun round like a top. Like he did in the Thomas & Friends story Tenders & Turntables, that is. I was trying not to utter two certain words, but I can't hold back any longer. Curse you, Sam! Thanks to you and your Resolven Grange engine, I've wound up finding the exact same engine and Overton Grange (pristine) in Chester Model Shop. They've been put aside so I can buy them. Plus, don't let this make your mouth water, a 00 scale Fish & Chips Shop is due to be bought by me. Fancy sharing some with me? Lol.
haha thanks Kelly, appreciate your warnings - I'll be careful!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I completely forgot this. Great video. I kind of want to try this although I don't have a great deal of rolling stock.
haha no problem - good luck!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The loco is Gresley K2/2 61784. Built 31/07/1921.
Duly noted, thanks for this! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Another great video. I love the trains and coaches.

8:44 pity it wasn't egg vans you could use dapols XD
haha - I didn't want to deal with all the derailments this time ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Loved the close up shots
Glad you liked that mate! :D
Great to see the old steamers...
Thanks David! :D
Nice, love the 1959 steam era
Thanks Jack, me too! :D
Nice video. The ex-GWR coaches behind the Prairie are a 'B' set, permanently coupled together and used extensively on minor lines. I think Hornby used to make them and they could do with releasing an updated version. I'm sure they would sell well to GWR/BR modellers. Cheers.
Thanks Andrew - appreciate the info on those, I'd love to see some of those on the market again! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Most of the footage can be found in a 1950-60s BBC show 'Railway Roundabout'
Yes that's correct! :D
Yes! Another one!
Yes indeed! :D
I'm not sure if you know Sam but by pairing up the Caley Single and T9 you were actually able to recreated a rail tour from 1963 in my neck of the woods albeit just under 30 years before I was born.
Ooh really?! That's super cool - definitely didn't mean to do that!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains no problem Sam, I think there's some video footage of the tour on the Bluebell Railways CZcams channel. Thanks for the reply, always enjoy your videos👍 .
Great running session Sam some very nice trains made there
Thanks David! Glad you liked it! :D
13.40 looks like the Kingsbridge Branch and I think Brent was shown just after, which was at the top of the Kingsbridge Branch
Ahh it could well be!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Interesting video. Love the q6 shots, need to get one for myself (was running my super d earlier). Any loco, given enough power from a standing start, will wheelslip as it suddenly accelerates.
Thank you! I loved seeing that Q6 too!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
