Immensely Powerful Class 56s and my LEGO Locomotive: Chasing Trains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Starting at Clapham Junction, two class 56s scream away on their journey from Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Chessington South.
At Richmond Park I then settle down with some LEGO Bricks to create a locomotive alongside some coots.
The 56s later return and I manage to catch them one last time at Raynes Park!
Remember to play, because play is a superpower. Start building with me - lego.com/super...
Francis you give me the will to carry on living, your life energy is really contagious. If i feel a bit jaded I just watch your vids, them I'm up for it again. Thank you. 😊👍
I love that you are unashamedly enjoying yourself looking at trains. I know most people don't understand the love of trains, but I do. I love to see them. And I'm just now getting into going around looking at them. Good on you Francois 😊
I fully agree. I'm older than Francis but I also fully understand the wish to connect back to childhood and if that means building Lego, so be it. Wonderful videos, great enthusiasm and a warm smile.
I like trains, Drake, and men.
People don't know what they are missing when they feel the power and the noise of a class 56 old skool diesel, great videos Francis.
I’ve seen them coming through rowley Regis to the svr they have a subsonic energy
I dont watch tv.. havnt for years! Came across Francis's shorts on RUclips.. started watching his longer fornat vids.. now ive just come across his channel 4 tv show! Omg so happy for the journey you have been on and you deserve everything 😊
That smile whenever you see a locomotive!
It’s faked to perfection
@@project182r3 You must live in a very sad world, huh.
@@project182r3good to see people smile and have fun
@@project182r3idiot you are.
@@cryptidian3530No as sad as yours.
Your enthusiasm, buoyancy, and effervescence are infectious to watch lol, your giggles when you hear the tones lol, and really admire your narration too, complete with hilarity, just huge congratulations on your much deserved success! Hoping they name train/Station after you ❤
There is something really powerfull in watching someone enjoy something so much!
Hats off to Chris Gunthorpe and Wayne Gaskell, for providing us with such amazing 'driving force' engines! Always a delight to see Francis delighted! 🤗🤗🥰🥰❤❤
Chris Guntrip is a thrash merchant. He instructed me on a driver experience day on his 37109 at the East Lancs, what a day that was !
I can Imagine 😊
He owns 37109😊
Phenomenal sound of the 56s! Love it.
Francis with coots is about as much joy as Francis with trains! Fabulous! Love it xxxx
Francis never fails to make me smile!
Awesome video!
thanks to Francis I stopt being ashamed of my passion for train. I am really happy with that
Class 56s are pure magic. Well done Francis you are such a joy.
There are some great drivers at present Francis, Gunny is a legend as is The Boff! There is a video of the Boff in the cab super thrashing a class 56 with mega clag that makes the hairs stand up on my arms when i hear it, reminds me of the old Valenta HST's days when they would pull out from Newcastle Central
I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Scania N112, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Scania N112, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Absolutely lovely this! A proper fan of great traction without getting all technical! Loved the 66 barrelling through too! First saw 56’s when we went on holiday down near Oxford and they were doing the merry go rounds. Absolutely awesome to see them at 80mph flying past when you’re 8! Thank you Paul
Great to see you back on RUclips!
I like your enthusiasm of the thrash of the 56s and stuff and I quite like the class 37s when they accelerate with loads of thrash and tones as well as tangs to the drivers
What a really nice young guy you are. I love to watch your passion you have for trains.
56s do sound amazing but there is an aliasing problem with the audio causing a lot of burbling distortion.
More of these longer videos please!
as a kid we lived by the main line from chichester to portsmouth and beyond...our garden lbacked onto track, loved watching the trains, esp the frieght and the odd one carrying cars...the royal train often went through..the only noise that drove me mad was workmen during the night...great seeing you so happy..a real joy.
We love trains, and you, sir, just put a smile on my face .
Unfortunately a dying breed I fear they sound lovely well done all 👍👍
Has anyone ever noticed how mutch this man looks like david bowie
I dont get it. Is it the noise? I don't get the reaction.
My Mate put me on to your channel.
All I can say is that there can't be anyone with as much enthusiasm and passion about locomotives and trainspotting that you have.
Absolutely brilliant fella.
And I've just subscribed to your channel.
Yes another Francis video!
love it, great job!
I'm sure plenty of people would see this video as strange, but these older trains are so cool, and you present in a quirky but very good way.
Laughed so much at you talking to the geese.
Your genuine happiness always brings me such goodness. Thank you for sharing something you love with the world 🤍✨
A fellow Train enthusiast just subbed tonight bud!! Love the steam engines.
Love the sound of the old diesel-electrics given the beans. Also love the sound of the steam loco's on full throttle .There again, Dad is an ex BR loco engineer.
You should trainspotting at Sydney Gardens,Bath
Good to see Mr Chris Guntripp still mainline driving and in full BR uniform.
Absolutely brilliant video Francis 👍🏻👍🏻 from a retired driver 👍🏻
I hope you never loose your joy of life and never grow up just because it's the done thing.
They are a great sounding bit of kit
How do you know ow exactly what trains are coming?! That's some dedication!
This guy is a genius
An Airbus A380 is King of the skies so you know, Queen of the skies is the Boeing 747 which that was not, it was Emirates A380, stick to train spotting! 🤣🤣🤣
Double headed, Lovely noise but only 5 freight trucks? Or did you trim the clip??
hes so adorable
Yellow nose, dark body, turbine screaming.
Does anyone like me think now on Me 109?
Where did you get your jumper?? I want one so bad!
Francis...nice to see a lad with a passion ❤ also great to see a lot of interaction from the drivers too 👍
Hey man just seen you on the bbc news app. Good for you dude! keep it up and keep doing what you love ❤
Francis I have seen digmerbut at Eastleigh today
A great machine those 56’s such power and character
What app are you using to know when freights are coming through?
Shame you can't come to Worcester we could go trainspotting
Your vids always cheer me up.
I love your laugh Francis and your enthusiasm.
Hi, what app were you using to check the signals
Why does he put the GoPro on back to front?
Great video mate. I love the sound of those Class 56's. I have a model of 56091 from Cavalex Models coming to me. Here is a like from me buddy.
Abo and 👍 from
Modell Bahn Agenda Germany
You gotta love a screaming grid! 👍🏻
He’s loco for locomotives!
Was nice meeting you today at Rugby. Shame I missed those 50's 😭 Now subscribed to your channel so will be watching your videos more now
What app do you use for the signals mate?
looks like traksy to me
@@StirlingWattyep your right its traksy.Another great app I use is called realtime trains.
In Australia we have one called Anytrip but it doesn’t seem as detailed about signals as that app
Now I'm not an especially train loving guy, but I am a huge avgeek. I understand the excitement when it comes to machines like this! Very brave and powerful to show your love without care. Love your content.
avgeek 🤝 but i respect train spotters
Same love plane spotting and a bit of train spotting also what is your favourite plane mine is a concord 😊
The plane you saw was an a380 the king of the skys
I love going to see trains. Since I was a kid I just liked trains from the get go. But as I grew older I kind of lost interest in them but now due my gf and yourself. I’m fully back into them
Awesome passion! Greetings from a model car collector. I grew up with a Hornby train set with home made country & town scenery - fond memories. My passion currently is a rather large model car collection.
Convivial fun as ever, God bless.
Awesome video
Franis Bourgeois you are the best youtuber ever i love you
Great enthusiasm, thanks for posting
The Queen of the Sky is the 747, not the a380.
I adore you and you’re enthusiasm!!!
Love the things you love and never change
Hi Francis.. My dad/mom used to take me to Dawlish every year when I was very young with my brothers... Dad used to tell me what class of locomotives that went past in the late 60s early 70s as he loved trains.. I used to hear the sound of the class 52 Westerns which I still love today.. In Fact I saw you on Friday at Bewdley at the SVR Spring Diesel Festival to.. I was going to talk to you but you were with a few friends..Love your videos 💞
Where did you get your jumper? Great video 😊
Human to human connections you make during your journeys are always the most exciting in your videos. Cheers from Ireland.
I loved the blue freight trains, do you know as a child i loved them and still love them, even though ferry boats is something i followed at your age. but i would have loved to have seen those blue freight train trucks for real. What a lovely polite young man you seem and doing your own thing and being yourself.
Great video Francis I agree the sound of the class 56 sounds awesome especially on full power the only other locomotives that can match them for impressive sounds in my humble opinion is the class 37,s and deltics 😊
Where the HELL as he picked up this knowledge..???
Amazing..👍
Another superb video mate the 56 thrash was mega superb work Francis 👍🏻👍🏻
two old school grids screaming away they remind me of the original paxman valenta engined class 43 inter City 125's good video as always 👏 👌 👍
My Dad served his apprenticeship working on the last steam trains before diesels took over.
Must have been a wonderful experience
He's ACE this guy. He is himself!
My new favourite channel after finding you from Jame O'brien. Let me add and a bit of an odd observation, You do have very good bone structure, you have the look of a Male Fashion model, Vogue etc.Sorry if thats a bit off the wall but you've got the look.Anyway just something you could look at.Cheers.Paul .London (Just so you can credit me if it works)
Great stuff Francis. You were kind enough to let my friend and I have a photo taken with you at Kidderminster the other day so thanks for that. Really liked this video!
Just saw the Lego advert... "and for the next course, the coal section"...
Subtley suggesting to the girl, to her obvious delight, an evening of 'shoveling the coal'.
Absolute legend!!
1:26 ooh a A380! I never knew francis was a bit into aviation!
That’s the king of the skies but it’s ok
wonderful to see you enjoying the railways francis. i was a spotter based in chesterfield as a school kid in the early 70s and loved it. still find railways interesting to this day. you make really good videos and i enjoy watching them.
Queen of the skies nickname of whatever is not an a380 it’s the 747. Just saying Nerdd
Francis the Driver of the 56's also spends his time in the North West at the East Lancashire Railway and he was my Driver instructor the day I drove a class 35 Hymek , great guy..keep up the good work
"It should really build up some of that turbo scream that we all love." Yes, we do! And yes it did! When I was in the army I loved listening to the tanks spin up their engines. That turbine whine is exilerating. Same thing with the helos where I work now.
I Love your enthusiasm, Francis.
Your Brilliant Francis keep these videos coming your doing a fantastic job.
Learnt about youthrough the Unsubscribed Podcast, and boy am I happy :)
Noce video 👍
You must go to the Netherlands and see the steam trains in my country!👍❤️
im my day you would say "what an anarak"
Please tell me that these rail companies have given you a ride in the cab of one these trains because you deserve it on enthusiasm alone!!!
Hi Francis Great video and Brilliant 56s’s and Lego train. Yatton is a good place to trainspot you should come down 👍
