Loco Cavalcade at the Bluebell Railway

[Chibbiekid]

I've always wanted to go to this Railway.

[andrexiostudios]

That last engine looks like a diesel, yet he is steam. I will never understand that

[21C123]

The air smoothed casing gives it that affect. I once heard that a family complained to someone who was in the ticket office at Sheffield Park about them having a "diesel" on their train when in fact it was the last loco in this video - a steam loco!

[PalomboDylan]

@21C123 I didn't know stephney from thomas the train was a real engine!!!!!!!!

[21C123]

@PalomboDylan Stepney from Thomas is actually based on the Stepney in this video :)

[supergamerbros]

I love how they're all just blowing their whistles. It's almost as if they are alive.

[trainlover657]

thats the most steam engines moving i've seen in under 30 seconds...

[ronanL10]

wow, that's a lotta engines. yay, Stepney was at the front :D

[thomas9012]

it's like they are having a whistling contest

[trainlover479]

wat the names of the 5th and 6th engines

and what types are they?

[21C123]

The 5th loco is Ex London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LBSCR) E4 class No. 32473. It is named Birch Grove although didn't carry the name in British Railways livery (as seen above). The 6th loco is ex Southern Railway U class No. 1638. It is not named.

[trainlover479]

oh cool!

[trainlover479]

i think 1638 should be named, like the green bullet

[emturislazuli]

what is the thid one called

[21C123]

Third one is called Earl of Berkeley and is the sole suriving member of the ex Great Western Railway Duckdog class.

[emturislazuli]

what dose the second train say

[21C123]

Second one says Fenchurch on the side, named after Fenchurch in London.

[emturislazuli]

was sepheny saved from scrap

[21C123]

Don't think so. I think Stepney was brought directly from British Railways back in the early 1960s. It was still operational at the time as well and I think it moved to the Bluebell Railway under it's own power.

[andrexiostudios]

That's TTTE fiction.

[emturislazuli]

the last engine was cool what is it called

[21C123]

The last engine is ex Southern Railway West Country class No. 21C123 and named Blackmore Vale. It is currently out of service and is on display inside the loco shed at Sheffield Park on the Bluebell Railway.

[microblah]

up to 00:07, i've got one of the 0-6-0's in HO model form

[tahthing]

blackmore vale at 00:25

my favorite of their tenders

[CAROWINDS20]

Talk about a cavalcade

[CybertronNews22]

Cool, a Great Western engine.

[trainmaster4449]

STEPNEY!

[trainlover657]

thats the most steam engines working in one line i've ever seen, its sad stepney just went out of service <:(

[PercyIsAwesomeness93]

No way! He did!? :'(

[trainlover657]

yes, last july

[318Captain]

whoa hold up. what happend to him and why?

[21C123]

His boiler ticket was coming to the end of its expiry date. Stepney now needs an overhaul before he can steam again. Might be years before we seem him running again sadly :-(

[gguru1]

North American style typically mandates function over flash, and plus American engines sometimes traversed distances greater than a journey from the north-to-south length of Great Britain on a daily basis, not to mention a wider loading gauge, so the result is (usually) bigger, stronger, but less aesthetically pleasing machines.

The UK's steam locos are the prettiest in the world.

[joeferrito]

totally, except WE had some nice steam streamliners. Ever seen a daylight?

[siberiabear]

its Blackmore Vale

[craw111]

We have ourselves a City of Truro look-alike!

[craw111]

The last one looked like a diesel...

[21C123]

Thats its air smoothed casing that maskes you think it looks like a diesel but I can suure you it isn't. The loco just before the last one originally looked like the last one but was later rebuilt.

[brino182]

why don't british engines have bells.I think they should.they also look really ugly.

[21C123]

British engines don't have bells because they don't need them. I think they would look stupid with bells.

[MistaMeltonio]

I think they are very smart looking. w/ buffers and their liveries.

[trainlover657]

at least we dont have to worry about oversized cows derailing our trains >:D

[brino182]

holy crap, those engines look ugly.I'll stick with american and canadian engines.

[21C123]

Well I think American and Canadian engines look ugly. To me they don't look like engines unlike British engines.

[DoctorTankEngine]

and I second that, British steam engines are beautiful. American and European locos dont do anything for me i'm afraid. Not sure how you can call them ugly?

[jules46443]

you can't beat the good old brittish locos they're ace

[joeferrito]

I third it!

[trainlover657]

thats your opinion jerkass

[toasatoshi]

if you don't like it DON'T WATCH IT! >:(

[21C123]

I agree about the Llangollen Railway's cavalcade beating the Bluebell's although the Bluebell's was more colourful. There was supposed to be another two locos used in the Bluebell cavalcade.

[Mollyandrosiefan]

awesome! They didnt beat the one on the llangollen railway, for their steam, steel and stars event, but still awesome!

[lolguy543]

cool! the first tank engine was called stepney like off thomas the tank engine thats what he was based off

[toasatoshi]

stepeny is a "terrier" 0-6-0 tank engine

[21C123]

Frank, no it wasn't Sir Archibald Sinclare before Blackmore Vale. It was 34028 Eddystone which is on loan from the Swanage Ralway.

[franklinterrier]

8 header

Was that Sir Archibald Sinclare before Blackmore Vale

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Good railfan video.

[soupdragon90]

[21C123]

Cheers Josh.
