  • That's so cool. Steam is still viable!

  • Ölfeuriges Dampflok .

  • @b43xoit

    A fine engine.

  • @megatwingo Yes, I do refer to the "Tornado".

  • Schönes Video und interessante Lokomotive. Daumen hoch!

  • @b43xoit

    Do you mean the new build British Tornado with the boiler from Meiningen?

  • Sehr gute Aufnahmen von der 52 8055.

    Wann war diese Fahrt?

  • Well, in the UK they did recently build a new steam engine from scratch. Search YouTube for the "60163", also search her on Wikipedia.

  • Oh I already knew it was just a refined steam engine, as you said it would cost a fortune to make a new one from scratch.

    I was just saying its absolutely brilliant to refine one of the old steamers into something like this, although I would miss the smell of coal D:

  • @WhyAyeMann:

    The engine is no a complete new construction, it is only completely refined, at nearly all parts. This is why one have to 'old' look, but it shows which performance a realy new engine might have.

    A complete new construction would rather look like a common diesel engine, as like we remember a steamer.

    But who has the money to order a new one?
