Beautiful Locomotive i remember seeing it when i went to the North York Moors Railway, nice video!

[ay76]

I didn't know she was running on the day i filmed this, so had to look twice to make sure i wasn't seeing things. I remember seeing her on the NYMR when i was doing a walk in the forest along side the line.Wished I had a video camera with me that day. Any way many thanks, & regards.

[ay76]

i was by the tracks in hensall when this train came by. we get a lot of rare trains in hensall especialy class 47s.

[ay76]

Great stuff.Are you from Hensall or the surrounding area? I like the station there as it has some old enamel signs on the station building.Cheers

[michael6410]

yeah the stations got a nice old look to it ecpecialy the signal box and the old trespassers warning sign.

[ay76]

I'll have to get back & do a video of the station for my subscribers & freinds.I'll get some photo's posted on my photopic site of it.

Stunning video footage. Like it being under the overhead wires to give it a more modern appeal. Very stunning. Many thanks for that!!

The British steam train is beautiful.

The design is wonderful.

A Japanese steam train is only black.

[ay76]

To say this locomotive was built in the 1930's & to see it still running today, we must thank the people who saved her & keep her looking good. Also for keeping her running.So this video is a tribute to these people.Did the Japanese steam locomotives ever get painted in any other colours at all? I'll have to check out what different types of Steam locomotive you have.Always good to learn about trains around the world.Thank you for your kind comments Yamabnsf.Regards

[mallard290]

[mallard290]

wow.. its built by the same owner as mallard

[ay76]

Yes it was built by the LNER (London North Eastern Railway) at the Plant Doncaster in South Yorkshire.
