[BANDIT9998]

thats neater than hell!

[EastwoodBirds]

Man I love that coal fired LMS pacific!

[ned987]

That could very easily be the most amazing thing i've seen on the internet

[ididi9]

how does it syop

[01276]

@ididi9 You have to walk along side it and turn the regulator down!

[Scott7763725272]

ITS HIM! WITH HIS OWN CREATION OF A DIESEL ELECTRIC! look at all the shit thats pumpim out. global warming. HA

[vuretne]

Hi 01276 my brother want to I create to him a live steam locomotive and I dont know from where I can buy parts to make them...

[01276]

@vuretne I've never built a loco myself, but I can tell you it's no easy feat. I know kits are available to do so, but probably some research on google would be a good idea first..

[myleftnutts]

@01276 Hi!!! i know this is a old video,however would u know what gauge this train is???. also it doesn't seem to be,a stock mass produced product,i get the impression,that those locomotives were custom made???.

[01276]

@myleftnutts I'm pretty sure this is gauge one rather than O guage, More info about the gauge 1 if you go to gaugeone.org

Locos are more batch produced than mass, so you can buy ready built live steam locos.

[spartan4821]

i think thats a black 5. i love those engines

[blaster2012]

To all those whole have the space and money to model in gauge 1. Think yourselves lucky, you are the priveliged minority!

[DKLNTV]

It loock like the hogwarts express

[larstog94]

Very, very, very nice.

[3mta3ko]

Absolutely Incredible

[Roboman2121]

Very realistic.

[NewController01]

I recently bought a Class 47 which I'm hoping to to model and name after Bob Symes

[gaz318]

What a beast that Duff is, clags more like a Deltic!

[AndrewandMattsVideos]

very awesome!!

[arlaban11]

I was looking for this show for ages, god bless youtube and the person who uploaded this and other examples of this total bloody fantastic...words fail me please if anyone has any more eps of this show please ,please upload them.

[01276]

why thank you :)

[DocterJones]

for the steam engine couldnt you run that by remote control, using a servo's to control throttle, and other regulatory functions. Would be cool to have it pull up to one of those spots to fill the boiler for water refills.

OMGosh I am soooo excited to see a small coal fired boiler though!!! I would give 10 stars but 5 will have to do.

[MasterofPuppets343]

thats awsome, it pulls a lot of cars and go pretty fast, wow

[T0mahawk3r]

Cool! But how can you stop the steam-engine?

[01276]

walk up besides it and turn down/off the regulator

[speeedskater]

wow

[DocSponk]

I remember this show as a child and always enjoyed seeing that wonderful models that would appear on the show. If I could I'd give this 10/5.

:)

[NewController01]

I remember this show too well

[MusicalElitist1]

Beautiful! Just beautiful!

[ludwigviper4468]

That class 47 was a frikin' leaf blower!

[abcmarkooo]

that was jolly good.....!!

[mecrazy5]

i want to make a gardel gauge layout after i have finished my 'N' gauge layout in my room, i hope i have a job by then cos it looks expensive!

[mecrazy5]

beautiful coaches!

[microblah]

I have an Electric HO model railway, and it is safe to say, it's just not the same as live steam...

[mecrazy5]

nothing ever will be...

[spf150]

Very cool! I bet that live steam has a boatload of power!

[Whizzer1]

i loved that it was so real

[omnibus360]

at 4:35 ud think that was a steam engine

[trainfan761]

Very awesome never seen a lovely set up like that before!

[FPVsean]

very very impressive

[ludwigviper4468]

thats a beautiful railway they had

[streamleazefishhouse]

How do you control the steam engine? do you have to keep putting your fingers in the cabin? or is it done electronically?

[01276]

yes live steam means you have to keep putting fingers in cab

[streamleazefishhouse]

that must be anouying to keep running around after a train.

[mecrazy5]

you just set them then watch them go round, they have a cut off valve do they dont run adry, when they run out of steam just fill it up again and start th fire.

[GWRkid]

very good vid i love steam engines

[sionisais]

I remember the 47 from Model Railway magazine c 1972. It was a "real" diesel electric, i/c engine, generator, transformers and traction motors! If I recall correctly the troublesome bit was finding a driveshaft to take the torque from the high-speed i-c engine to the generator!

[TheFatAssCat]

GO LIVE STEAM!!! im to scared to get my own lol. boom!!!

[doctorstarwars]

I have a big green steam engine and loads of steam comes out it it is so cool!!

[killthemonkey4evr]

where could i get some garden railway track and trains like that anyone know a website..................reall­y cool vid

[01276]

you must google before asking silly questions

[killthemonkey4evr]

gee thx

[streamleazefishhouse]

Are you his mother?

[wildhorseshadwell]

bit out on dates for this series it was shown on sundays on bbc1 in early to mid seventies i had the bbc book that accompanied this series complete whith plans for r/c leander class frigate

[thesinglesculler]

yes indeed, every garden does need one of these!

[therockingmelon]

one thing that i find unrealistic about hornby today is that they never make stations long enough. I've got this mainline station (it's actually a metcalf model) and it doesn't even look long enough to be a station halt

[01276]

indeed, on my last OO layour i usually ran 7 coach trains and this would have took bout 1.5 meters of platforming! .. so u need a seriously big room to run 12 coaches!

[maxazi]

bellissimo bravo

[Tomlan2007]

Wonderful, thanks a lot for posting.

[music1radio]

Wonderful, would love that class 47 !!

Thanks for sharing.

[snoobybun]

Oh wow!!! I tuned in to this delightful programme religiously in my early teens straight after "Why Don't You?". I bought the accompanying book. If there's more I'd love to see it! Have you got the "Trains and boats and planes" intro? Thanks for posting.

[graffitiandrew]

compare these train with 21st century trains those one look pointless

[florhand]

I put in 'Model World Bob'never thinking for a moment anyone would have posted clips from the programme. I loved it and had the book with the plans for a frigate, yacht and glider. It's where I first heard Take Five and I remeber them modelling Horsted Keynes - fantastic nostalgia and thank you for posting. (Do you remember the ultra light rubber-motorer plane flown indoors?)

[01276]

Posting more from this series today.. check my profile later today and should be uploaded!

[01276]

Also posting some clips from the series 'Making Tracks' if anyone remembers that??!

[fgourlay]

used to like this on saturday mornings in the early 70s any chance of the music intro to the start of the program cheers

[01276]

Indeed .. its alteady uploaded.. if you look on the end of the "Sacremento railfair 1991" video I included the music at the end

[fgourlay]

sorry i thought this was model world from the early 70s that used to be on saturday mornings when i was a kid cheers for the reply anyway

[Skoda130]

Damn!! And I thought that WADA works was up onto something new, with their live diesel locomotives!

[ogwen040]

Wonderful again- thanks for posting this, and for the chap who gave the update on the Type 4. Glad to hear its still running.

[mrbobandfriendsetc]

Was that Nicholas driving the Princess Coronation class?

[Vassilika1]

Wow, wirklich wunderschoen. Auch mich fasziniert die Diesel-Elektrische fast am meisten. Beautiful, thanks for posting. From Corfu, Chris

[342118]

awesome footage, do you know if anybody sells a diesel like that?

[quark31]

Thank you very much for putting up the clips...Wow...It is hot and steamy ! and lovin' it :)

[JohnPW22]

Fantastic footage! Seeing that diesel working was a treat! Thanks!

[Kev5565]

I'm so glad you posted this, i used to watch this with my dad.

[matthewpeter]

as did I, I had the honour of meeting mr Symes, and discovered the fate of the Horsted Keynes layout, as well as his petrol class 47!!

[metadyneman]

So what was the fate? of both! I remember the programmes well and it's good to see this one again

[matthewpeter]

well the layout apparently went to somebody, who I think was a BBC employee (I may be wrong though). The 47 recently had its engine give up, and Bob Symes friends in Switzerland re-engined it for him, so its still running!

[AllAmericanBoy9]

Love it Love it Love it Love it Love it
