35028 Clan Line doing 100mph!

- Just a little bit of fun. I Did a couple of (rough) calculations and I worked out that this is how 35028 Clan Line would look like if she was doing 100mph in steam days. The Merchant Navy Pacifics designed by Oliver Bulleid (CME of the Southern Railway between 1937 - 1948), managed to reach 100mph in their final years of their working lifes in the 1960s and with Clan Line being out of action since February last year, I'd figure to show you what a Merchant Navy Pacific would have felt reaching that 100mph feat.
The locations included in the video are here -

I hope you like the video. Feel free to like, comment and subscribe for more steam action from Full Steam Ahead.
I had a friend [sadly died] who was a fireman on Bulleid Pacifics and he said that they regularly topped Mallards record between Tonbridge and Ashford but it doesn't count since there was no official measurement.
Those 6’2” driving wheels are spinning around over 7 and a half times PER SECOND.
Best one u done yet looks most realistic so far nice one
Fantastic video. A Merchant Navy doing what it was designed for. Thanks for the share.👍
Flying Scotsman has been real quiet since this one dropped.
Superbly edited, thanks, and believable because that's what they actually did and not so long ago. I understand the LNER A1 replica new build has been allowed to do it and of course that superbly maintained engine would do the ton easily. As a little GWR engine called City of Truro did it (or almost, definitely 99 in any event) in Edwardian years, I think 1904, it should not really be so surprising.
The Flyer. A pair of wings and she'd be airborne.
God, those wheels are really going at it
Superb video, I've stood on Grantham Station when I was a young lad in the 50's with steam actually doing 100mph, astonishing speed.
Thinking about it, just the simple volume of steam they'd have to produce to do this is astonishing - and may be one of the limiting factors on how fast they can go.
!!FIRST!! wow, what a sight, really beautiful locomotive...
Great video, stay safe and take care :)
I agree with you, it is quite beautiful
@@That_Thicc_Cat Totally
Those connecting rods are getting a work out !
Just to think that this would have been a daily occurrence on the South Western Mainline between Waterloo and Southampton. The speed record for the class goes to 35003 Royal Mail at 106mph (now sadly scrapped).
I love watching steam locomotives at speed, unfortunately that doesn’t happen to often here in the USA because of an accident involving poorly maintained passenger cars in the 1980s
May be the reason is the same involved in THE Street Car Scandal of the fifties: steam machines are very simple and can burn Gas Petrol oil etc. May be the Oil industry does not like easy and cheap solutions to the transport system. Planes consume much more fuel , and with state money"support" people get apparently cheap tickets paid by lots of taxes with different labels.
TrainS were casualy dismantled in several countries after WWII
How does it even stay together? All that heavy steel is spinning so fast it looks like it should just fly apart
Read the description
The description says that this locomotive used to travel at 100 mph, so his point still stands. It's amazing that anything like this can travel so fast and stay in one piece.
Those large driving wheels are spinning at around 7and 1/2 times per second...
Fast as F boi
Brilliant :)
Very nice :)
Clan lines real top speed is 108mph
Love the video. Slightly confused, 100mph? Aren’t steam trains limited to 75mph by Network Rail?
Sometimes they let them go over rarely though
The video has been sped up
Quality
Didn't think steam was so fast😲
@rock_dinosaursteam can get that fast, but they are given speed limits
@rock_dinosaur official speed limet for steam on main line is 75, but network rail give exceptions for certain rail tours in certain sections of track
I was on a Clan Line trip and we clocked her at 97 MPH by a sat nave, see my RUclips on the farewell Trip Tuesday the 30th of June 2015,(OLDBOYSTEAMING).
Lumayan kencang Mr Inggris
