  • I think what the engine needs to make it look good is a big american headlight on it (even if it never gets used ) and the air compressor on the side. then the engine will look right at home. And why can't they put a real american whistle on it like a PRR 3 chime.

  • This reminds me of my local railway because it ran over a drawbridge over the Chichester canal.

  • @BIASpotter : Thats a matter of opinion on the looks ;). You have to admit it has a much better sounding whistle. To me it sounds like any where's from a 3 to 6 chime which are usually pretty melodious instead of the screaming eardrum busters you guys like to use.

  • @ryskinner well it did operate in the uk, quiet a few US locos were imported during WWII

  • I will say that as far as appearance of passenger locomotives, the brits have us beat. They're painted beautifully, yet simply. However, I do seem to appreciate the appearance of the US freight engines over the English engines. A British engine painted black just seems a trifle plain to me. Maybe I'm just weird. A US engine painted in black with a graphite smokebox pulling a mixed freight, however, is a sight to behold. That's my opinion, anyway.

  • Very impressive video, nice railway and great spring colours!

  • One of the lovely exceptions. :P
