English Steam Engine in Poland 1

[GWRkid]

the air pump sounds horrible

[dan0478]

Love it! Unusual mix but makes me very nostalgic. Good camera work, 5/5

[irwellsteam]

i saw that engine at york railway museum once. where did it go from there?

[Trainbrain1949]

I have a set of double deck Polish cars made by Piko sometimes in the early 1970s. Now I don't feel so bad pulling them with a French steam locomotive.

[bineees78xx]

i want the pump on that loco so much!!!!

[13cheese999]

why??! It's only an air pump!

[bineees78xx]

its just gives the loco some presence and compaired to the air pumps on the locos i work on this air pump is like sex on wheels!!!

[VaderNES]

Screw the pump; I want the whole engine!

[buttercupline]

[73129Dude]

I have seen somewhere that it is going to the Dean Forest Railway

[buttercupline]

good when is she comming back to england

[73129Dude]

she is back! I saw it on a recent Station End Group video

[AndreiTupolev]

That's a very vigorous sounding air pump they've given it. Nice of them to let them see that a steam loco doesn't have to be black. :P

[perdurabo1]

Polish locos are black*(freight ones) or black(boiler) with green or olive parts like water and coal bunks, cab etc(passanger and fast) thats historicly livery of PKP**, so painting them difrently would be fantasy that should not have place on museum piece.

* wheels are red with white bandages, front of frame should be oraange...

*apartfrom Pm36-1 witch was Blue and Pm3 series witch was fully Green/Olive

Excellent clips..High 5 m8.

[AndrzejMastalerz]

Thank You.

Very unusual having a small GW loco in Poland, I bet the Polish are impressed to have a British loco in their country

[Ol4969]

5521 will be operating these service trains throughout the year for periods of 10 days each month from March. The Wolsztyn Experience funded it's visit to Poland as we prommissed to bring a British Loco to the 100th anniversary of Wolsztyn we offer footplate courses on its operation The Wolsztyn Experience can be contacted on 01628 524876

What great sight, I'll bet that turns heads in Wroclaw station... Great shots Andrzei.

[AndrzejMastalerz]

Yes Ralph! She was a main attraction on a Steam Day in Wroclaw.

[34045]

She dosen't sound very healthy

[6024kingedward1]

Thats the Brake pump. Not a standard fitting for this GWR loco. Ignoring that, she is in fine form

[34045]

Good How long until she is back?

[gdaysydney]

What a mixture - GWR on a Polish railway - great footage - what was the occasion? and how did a GWR steam loco get to be in Poland?

[AndrzejMastalerz]

She came to Poland in spring 2007. The owner have his buisnes with polish railways. Nobody knows how long She will stay here.

[BjornOl49]

Is she still there then?

[AndrzejMastalerz]

Yes. She is staying in the Wrocław Lok-Depot.

[JBTEvans]

Is she on loan to the Polish?

[kopiteman]

@BjornOl49 She is back in England now on the Dean Forest Railway
