Do you mean the br Scotsman or LNER flying Scotsman? Well if it’s in lner or br flying Scotsman that’s my fav engine in the would wait no acutely wait my fav engine is daylight aka 4449 in orange red and black and my second fav engine is mallard
You did save the best for last Sam. I thoroughly enjoyed that. No favourites for me, I liked them all. I grew up on Br Eastern (WCML) and so most of these were every day sitings for me. Keep up the good work Sam. Thanks, David.
Hi David, thanks very much for that - yeah it's not easy to decide haha! It must have been great to see these in their heyday, I don't think it's quite the same today sadly :( All the best mate, Sam :)
Well, I love Gresley's locomotives (Just like you,) so this running session gave me the idea of a quadruple header, just bear in mind you don't need to do this. - Back - Locos: 1. Tornado (green) 2. Cock o the North 3.The Flying Scotsman (smoke deflectors) 4. Mallard (green) Coaches: 1. The coaches that came with 14xx 2. 14 LNER coaches 3. 18 LMS coaches Arrangement: 14xx coach 1 LMS 2 LNER 3 LMS 2 LNER 3 LMS 2 LNER 3 LMS 2 LNER 3 LMS 2 LNER 3 LMS 2 LNER 3 LMS 2 LNER 1 LMS 14xx coach Loco Arrangement: All locos in front of coaches Tornado Cock Scotsman Mallard - Front - And that's it, thank you if you can, and it's ok if you can't, anyways nice video!
Thanks Gareth, really glad to have your support! Absolutely, I'd love to do a video with his locomotives - though I can't find a list of the ones he designed, If I find that I have at least 6 of his locomotives, I can definitely do that! All the best mate, Sam :)
1:45 This LNER A3 Pacific Steam Locomotive Is A Bit Like Flying Scotsman And Gordon The Big Engine From Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends The Original Series In 1984. Thanks Sam'sTrains Mate. X
hi...what a great series Sam well done. great to see the A4 flying around the track. as she should be. looking forward to seeing another type of series. they are a good concept. cheers matt.
Thanks very much for the kind words Matt, much appreciated, yeah that A4 is a stunner! The next series (per-se) will be around Christmas, but I've got lots more different kinds of videos to come before then! All the best, Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains sounds great Sam. I'm planing my own series soon hopefully it will work. I've also given you another mention on my channel in my latest video . hope you enjoy cheers matt
I think the V2's used to pull sometimes mail trains but mainly fish trains, that's why Green Arrow (4771) was called Green Arrow, she was named after one of the fast fish trains that she pulled, well that's what I got from Chris Eden Green's SLIPS. Sorry if my english is not perfect 'cause im not a native speaker
Wow...what a history class..always great presentations..with model railways, derailments can be avoided by placing a straight after a points..this stops the rotational axis which leads to derailments.
The A3 is not the first pacific, because Churchward designed his 4-6-2 Great Bear in 1908, but it was later rebuilt into a castle class in 1922 because it had a lot of problems
Hi! Yeah you're absolutely right - I got that wrong, I meant to say the first class of pacific, since the great bear was just a single loco! Thanks for the info mate, Sam :)
My favourite loco in that video was the V2 because in fact I have one but my one has a road number of 60964 and has a name of The Durham Light Infantry.
Fine end to this series. I read that braking technology was improved by Gresley too (had never occurred to me before). A topic for one of your future researches might be something like this. Not sure how many would be interested though. Alan.
Thanks very much Alan, interesting about the braking technology (It's certainly interesting to me!) I didn't know anything about that either, I'll read up on that then, see if there's a video to be made there! All the best mate, Sam :)
Sam- Great series of videos! Out of the Gresley-designed locomotives, although I do love the A3 and A4, the 4-4-0 he designed just edges them out for me. I love those!
Hi Ed, you're absolutely right, the 4-4-0 is absolutely gorgeous, and I was searching for a decent one of those for a long time! Thanks very much for the comment, Cheers, Sam :)
I'm going to have to find a British 4-4-0 soon for my layout to run as well! I have plenty of American ones, but that type of locomotive went out of style when the Atlantic and Pacific types took hold. The UK had apparently been building and running that type for a good bit longer than in the US!
Definately the A4's my top 3 would be UOSA 60009,Bittern 60019 & Sir Nigel Gresley 60007 plus a mention for my old favourite Kingfisher 60024.Most enjoyable video
Trainspotter Of Zoetermeer much to the resentment of the crews apparently...the 2-8-2 configuration really wasn't suited to the rather unforgiving lines up north...
Sam’s Trains I like the LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman better more than the LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard. Do you agree or disagree with me? Yes or No?
haha! Thanks very much Keith, really glad to have your support - got lots coming up next, I'll probably carry on with the 'Seven ages of steam' stuff! All the best mate, Sam :)
Thanks very much, really appreciate that! Yeah very true - I think it's a colour that's easy to maintain, not like blue for example! All the best, Sam :)
It pains me to watch that Mallard sail around so smoothly. That was my first loco, and was also a good runner. Unfortunately I had a series of disasters with it and wrote it off. I had to buy two modern replacements to ease the hurt.
haha thanks William - yeah they are good runners! Sorry to hear about yours - but it sounds like you're better off now! What were these disasters then? ;) Cheers, Sam :)
Yes... sadly No. 4469 Gadwall was destroyed in WW2 in 1942 in an air raid at York... how unfortunate...(btw Gadwall had the name Sir Ralph Wedgewood by 1939)
Hi Muneem - she doesn't struggle for power on the points, she actually struggles from de-railments! The front wheels, and sometimes the driving wheels, like to jump off on the tight points - it's probably a design error from Hornby on either the locos, or the points, but many locos have the same problems! All the best mate, Sam :)
Great video Sam I've really enjoyed this series its been packed with fantastic models and information! (Christmas is coming!) Cock of the North followed by the Mallard for me. Oscar
Thanks very much Oscar - really glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for all your support! Yeah Christmas is on it's way, can't wait lol! Yeah Cock o the north is a real classic - I'm thinking of getting a replacement motor for her, which should be a bit smoother! All the best mate, Sam :)
Thanks mate, much appreciated! Yeah I filmed the 1920s episode last week! Blimey, what made you decide that?! But thanks very much anyway! All the best, Sam :)
Hi again looking at Wikipedia Riddles designed the Austerity 2-8-0 and 2-10-0 during WW2. During his time at British Railways it seems the CME role changed and was shared a bit more with his two assistants Cox and Bond. He led the development of British Railways standard designs and they are usually credited to him. Hope I've got this right. Wiki has a good section on the standard designs. Anyone else add any more?
Hi Gareth, thanks very much for doing that, much appreciated, and very interesting! Always glad to get some new information, and I'll read up on it some more too! Thanks again mate, Sam :)
Thanks sam for this awesome series. I have an idea for maybe a future series on were you so us how to build a model railway or something like that. Thanks
Hi there, thanks very much for the kind comment - that's a very good idea, I might do that - I'm thinking of making a video on getting started with a collection! Cheers, Sam :)
Ah right! Thanks for the info - I was going to say that the A3s were the first class, rather than a single loco - but yeah it looks like those A2s were first! Sorry about that! All the best, Sam :)
Great vid Sam, but one correction. Gresley's A1/A3 was not Britain's first pacific, that was Churchwards No111 Great Bear of 1908 on the GWR. As a GWR nut I can't have Mr Gresley stealing the thunder from Gods Wonderful Railway. ;) But that gripe aside, another wonderful vid. Keep up the good work mate :)
Hi Jon, thanks very much for that - you're fully correct though, what I meant to say was 'first class of pacifics', which I think would be okay, since the Great Bear was only one? Sorry about that anyway - I seem to be very good at mis-reading my info sheets lol! All the best mate, Sam :)
no worries mate Great Bear was hardly a major success, and they did only build one, although Hawksworth did a design study for a pacific in 1947, but th GWR never followed through with it, and when BR came along they built their own pacifics so Hawksworths idea was forgotten about
Just realized something in this video, your similar to this cool RUclipsr that's called laser jet. He's as nice and just friendly as you, you should make a crossover or collaboration with him. (Now I need to tell him now.)
+Sam'sTrains i don't think so it is after all a easy mistake to make after al nearly all gresley locomotives have similar numbers i mean just look the n2 (lner number) is 4744 flying scotsman 4472 green arrow 4771 mallard 4468 union of south africa 4488 and sir nigel gresley 4498
Hi Sam I Know that this comment is 4 years Late .but please may you do a video of your beyer garratt pulling all of the OCEAN wagons you own. P.S cheers mate 👍 Cheers . Lewis : )
The fact that they were all scraped it kinda becoming false now since they are currently making the 7th engine of the p2 class "prince of wales", Being made by the same people who made Tornado the pepppercorn A1. I know that if its being made it doesn't count as it as facts but still, Its a new P2.
Yeah that's true - it's amazing that some are being re-created, but it'll always be true that all of the originals were scrapped - they'll never quite be the same! All the best, Sam :)
How much did you have to pay Lewis Hamilton to drive the Mallard? I have only just seen how old some of these videos are. Anything LNER is good enough for me. Thanks, Sam. Martin (Thailand)
14:14 is that your only loco with sound? Do any of your other locos have DCC but no sound? 16:09 the Prince of Wales new build P2 now has a completed smokebox, and they're doing work on the drive wheels. 17:23 do you have a model Mallard in LNER blue? 22:32 you said 4471, when it's actually 4771!
Hi again - no I do have a few other sound locos: A4, Class 8, 4F and a Class 40! That's good news regarding the P2 - it will be amazing to see one of those in steam again! Yes I do have a Mallard in blue, though it's a Wrenn one! My apologies if I made a mistake there - but thanks for pulling that up! All the best, Sam :)
17:07 Great Scott. It's Mallard. This LNER A4 Pacific Steam Locomotive Is A Bit Like Spencer From Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends. Thanks Sam'sTrains Mate. X
Hey Sam do you think that if Gresley were alive today he would be proud or disappointed about No. 2007 Prince of Wales? I would love to hear your thoughts.
![ARGENTINA vs. CHILE [3-0] | RESUMEN | ELIMINATORIAS SUDAMERICANAS | FECHA 7](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/De3AWmXzhuA/mqdefault.jpg)
lovely video :) loved seeing the cock o the north again one of my favourites :) all the best
also I heard the a4s did some freight work towards the end of the end of steam not sure for sure though :)
Is that a joke
Probably my Favorite Railway Engineer. :)
Yeah? He definitely did some of the most famous classes!
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
Slight correction, the A1 GNR Pacific was the first successful 4-6-2 Loco in Britain, the GWR Great Bear was the first pacific locomotive in Britain
love the flying Scotsman and the mallard and the jinty
Awesome! Yeah I love those ones too! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
Do you mean the br Scotsman or LNER flying Scotsman? Well if it’s in lner or br flying Scotsman that’s my fav engine in the would wait no acutely wait my fav engine is daylight aka 4449 in orange red and black and my second fav engine is mallard
Owwwww and then the jinty
I heard that a new P2 is being built from the A1 steam trust. It will be No.2007 Prince of Wales.
Yeah I heard about that too - that should be awesome! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)

Whenever I'm sitting my loft with my massive Hornby railway, it's always a treat to watch your videos!
Hi Sam, thanks so much for that - that's very kind of you mate!
Cheers,

Sam'sTrains no problem Sam! You are my favourite RUclipsr after all!
Excellent series really enjoyed it. Riddles postscript sometime?
Thanks Gareth, really glad to have your support! Absolutely, I'd love to do a video with his locomotives - though I can't find a list of the ones he designed, If I find that I have at least 6 of his locomotives, I can definitely do that!

Love Mallard in BR green. I've always seen it as 4468 in blue livery with red wheels.
Hi Alan, yeah the A4 is lovely in green - I do love them in the blue as well though! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains l have got it in the same livery
That trasition was amazing
Wow...what a history class..always great presentations..with model railways, derailments can be avoided by placing a straight after a points..this stops the rotational axis which leads to derailments.
Thanks so much David, glad you liked it! Yes that is true, though not always possible!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The A3 is not the first pacific, because Churchward designed his 4-6-2 Great Bear in 1908, but it was later rebuilt into a castle class in 1922 because it had a lot of problems

Sam'sTrains Do the singel wheeler
Sam can you run all your American trains?
Cheers,
Jaws
Hi mate! Yeah I'll try and do that at some point - I have some of them to review first though! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
You need more feeder wires across your layout, particularly between points. Love the video
Thanks for the comment! I never get voltage drop problems though - so I think it's fine! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Thanks for choosing the BR Green for Mallard, my favoutite livery, even suits a Class 66! Awesome video!
No problem mate! Yeah that's true - it's a real classic livery!
Thanks very much for the comment and kind words,
Sam :)
@@thefallingpi341 same
My favourite loco in that video was the V2 because in fact I have one but my one has a road number of 60964 and has a name of The Durham Light Infantry.
Ooh great choice - yes the V2 is very lovely indeed!! :D

I was just finalizing the script about Gresley engines for a series I worked
Oh very cool! Sounds pretty awesome! :D
Best of luck with it,
Sam :)
Definately the A4's my top 3 would be UOSA 60009,Bittern 60019 & Sir Nigel Gresley 60007 plus a mention for my old favourite Kingfisher 60024.Most enjoyable video
Great picks there Robert - I love each of those too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
5:10 Grandad loved these whilst he was working on them in the '50s and '60s! :)
Oh yeah I bet! I've read that they were well appreciated by their crews!
The P2s where used on the Sleepingcar trains between Aberdeen and Edinbourough
Ahh okay - that makes sense! Thanks a lot for the comment,
Sam :)
Trainspotter Of Zoetermeer much to the resentment of the crews apparently...the 2-8-2 configuration really wasn't suited to the rather unforgiving lines up north...
Sam’s Trains I like the LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman better more than the LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard. Do you agree or disagree with me? Yes or No?
Good choice! She's way more conventional looking! :3
Cheers,
Sam :)
I like Scotsman way more as well
He wasn't bad was he, ha ha. Seriously, a great series, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to whatever is next.
haha! Thanks very much Keith, really glad to have your support - got lots coming up next, I'll probably carry on with the 'Seven ages of steam' stuff!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
Sam YOU have lovely trains
Thanks so much! Yeah I'm really fond of them too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
The v2 wasn't the last gresley design. The last gresley was a v4 built in 1941 right before his death
Very interesting! I've never heard that before! :O
Happy New Year,
Sam :)
The Worldrecord A3 holder was "Papyrus" 108mph
Ahh okay Robert, thanks for this! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Gresley's grandsons stil live today. They are helping building the p2
Really?! Wow, I didn't know that- that's pretty cool!
All the best,
Sam :)
hey Sam um little fact Britains first pacific was a GWR loco named The Great Bear which was later rebuilt into a castle
Thanks Aaron - that's absolutely right - but that was just a single loco - the first class of pacifics was the A1! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Love the channel and it must be said that L.N.E.R / B.R like there green 😀
Thanks very much, really appreciate that! Yeah very true - I think it's a colour that's easy to maintain, not like blue for example!
All the best,
Sam :)
Beautiful all around there...
Thanks Glenn! :D
It pains me to watch that Mallard sail around so smoothly.
That was my first loco, and was also a good runner.
Unfortunately I had a series of disasters with it and wrote it off. I had to buy two modern replacements to ease the hurt.
haha thanks William - yeah they are good runners! Sorry to hear about yours - but it sounds like you're better off now! What were these disasters then? ;)
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great vid,is there models of the Fiying Fox and Brown jack locos? Cheers
Thanks mate! There may well be - You'd be best to look it up, I can't quite remember!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes... sadly No. 4469 Gadwall was destroyed in WW2 in 1942 in an air raid at York... how unfortunate...(btw Gadwall had the name Sir Ralph Wedgewood by 1939)
It was indeed - very sad :(
i don't understand how does the p2 struggle on points. doesn't it pick up electricity from the tender
Hi Muneem - she doesn't struggle for power on the points, she actually struggles from de-railments! The front wheels, and sometimes the driving wheels, like to jump off on the tight points - it's probably a design error from Hornby on either the locos, or the points, but many locos have the same problems!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
Please do a running session with all the A4'S
Awesome idea! I do plan to try that one day! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video Sam I've really enjoyed this series its been packed with fantastic models and information! (Christmas is coming!) Cock of the North followed by the Mallard for me.
Oscar
Thanks very much Oscar - really glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for all your support! Yeah Christmas is on it's way, can't wait lol! Yeah Cock o the north is a real classic - I'm thinking of getting a replacement motor for her, which should be a bit smoother!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
Actually it was the first pacific tender locomotive
Did the flying Scotsman beat 100 mph as an A1 or an A3
That's a very good question - I think it was quite early on, so I'd guess A1, though I could be wrong!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Brilliant series and I'm ready for more steam though the ages! P.S You're a wonderful person too!
Thanks mate, much appreciated! Yeah I filmed the 1920s episode last week! Blimey, what made you decide that?! But thanks very much anyway!
All the best,
Sam :)
Nice vid i just found out this video when i awake and i like this series of great engineers
Thanks so much - glad you like it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Super looking trains !
Thanks Michael! :D
Hi again looking at Wikipedia Riddles designed the Austerity 2-8-0 and 2-10-0 during WW2. During his time at British Railways it seems the CME role changed and was shared a bit more with his two assistants Cox and Bond. He led the development of British Railways standard designs and they are usually credited to him. Hope I've got this right. Wiki has a good section on the standard designs. Anyone else add any more?
Hi Gareth, thanks very much for doing that, much appreciated, and very interesting! Always glad to get some new information, and I'll read up on it some more too!
Thanks again mate,
Sam :)
Thanks sam for this awesome series. I have an idea for maybe a future series on were you so us how to build a model railway or something like that. Thanks
Hi there, thanks very much for the kind comment - that's a very good idea, I might do that - I'm thinking of making a video on getting started with a collection!
Cheers,
Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains Awesome hope to see it. 😄
Great upload once again Sam...many thanks.
Thanks Kev, really glad you enjoyed it,
All the best,
Sam :)
actually the a3 were the 3rd pacific on britain the gwr 111 the great bear was the first and the lner raven a2 was the second
Ah right! Thanks for the info - I was going to say that the A3s were the first class, rather than a single loco - but yeah it looks like those A2s were first! Sorry about that!
All the best,
Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains all the best for you as well
Fantastic Sam
Thanks Malcolm! ;D
Can you do DMJ 2-4-0 Beattie Well tank
Hi, thanks for the comment! I don't have one of those, but I'll look into getting one!
Thanks very much,
Sam :)
such beautiful trains
Thanks a lot! Yeah those LNER locos are beautiful!
All the best,
Sam :)
FANTASTIC
Thank you! :D
Gresley's designs were matchless. Except for maybe Stanier.
haha absolutely! Yeah Stanier was great too, you're right!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
To bad this is the last video of this series because I had an idea for another well-known locomotive designer : George Jackson Curchwards
Ooh yeah that would have been a great one to do - I could revisit these and do him one day though! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
22:32 Green Arrow is 4771.I often do that mistake
Ah right yeah - sorry about that! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I'm sorry to say Sam but the gwr had the first Pacific called the great bear from 1901 I think, but I'm not sure. Great vid, Lewis
That's right, but it wasn't a class of pacifics, it was a single unit! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love this idea
Thanks Andrew! :D
7:34 awesome transition
haha thanks mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
the A1/A3 wasn't the first 4-6-2 in britian the gwr no 111 the great bear was
Yes that's true - but it was the first 'class' I suppose - because the great bear was just a single prototype loco!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
A day with Sir Nigel Gresley
Yes! :D
You have nice collection =-O
Thank you so much!! :D
Merry Christmas - Sam :)
Great vid Sam, but one correction. Gresley's A1/A3 was not Britain's first pacific, that was Churchwards No111 Great Bear of 1908 on the GWR. As a GWR nut I can't have Mr Gresley stealing the thunder from Gods Wonderful Railway. ;) But that gripe aside, another wonderful vid. Keep up the good work mate :)
Hi Jon, thanks very much for that - you're fully correct though, what I meant to say was 'first class of pacifics', which I think would be okay, since the Great Bear was only one? Sorry about that anyway - I seem to be very good at mis-reading my info sheets lol!
All the best mate,

no worries mate Great Bear was hardly a major success, and they did only build one, although Hawksworth did a design study for a pacific in 1947, but th GWR never followed through with it, and when BR came along they built their own pacifics so Hawksworths idea was forgotten about
Y have u forgot about William Stoudley, William Dean, Tompson and G J Churchwood?
I haven't forgotten him!! I just don't have many Stroudley engines! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I hate to be that guy, but the first 4-6-2 Pacific in the UK was Great Western No. 111 "The Great Bear" but it was unsuccessful.
haha that's true - but as a single locomotive, you wouldn't call it a class!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam's Trains Did you know that he and William Stanier were both born in the same year 1876 in England 🇬🇧? Yes or No?
No I didn't - that's awesome!! :O
Just realized something in this video, your similar to this cool RUclipsr that's called laser jet. He's as nice and just friendly as you, you should make a crossover or collaboration with him. (Now I need to tell him now.)
Ooh okay! He makes train simulator videos doesn't he?? I think I might have seen one! :D
Thanks for the comment,
Sam :)
Next one could be of Oliver bullied
green arrow's number is 4771 not 4471 the number 4471 is from the a3 sir frederick banbury
haha yeah I know - I've no idea why I got that wrong - probably my bad eyesight! Thanks for the correction though! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains i don't think so it is after all a easy mistake to make after al nearly all gresley locomotives have similar numbers i mean just look the n2 (lner number) is 4744 flying scotsman 4472 green arrow 4771 mallard 4468 union of south africa 4488 and sir nigel gresley 4498
What about the V1/V3 Tank Engines?
Yeah, they would have been good to include too! I couldn't show all of them though, since there were loads! :D
Thanks for watching,

You might be right there actually - I'm not absolutely certain!

You know how to tell the difference between grizzly and Thompson engines Thompson one as far away from grizzly as possible
haha!! Okay mate, thanks for that ;D
All the best,

wasn't the gwr No 111 great bear the first pacific to run in Britain
Yes you're right! But it wasn't a class I suppose, just a one off!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
The fact that they were all scraped it kinda becoming false now since they are currently making the 7th engine of the p2 class "prince of wales", Being made by the same people who made Tornado the pepppercorn A1. I know that if its being made it doesn't count as it as facts but still, Its a new P2.
Yeah that's true - it's amazing that some are being re-created, but it'll always be true that all of the originals were scrapped - they'll never quite be the same!
All the best,
Sam :)
I noticed a little running gag in these videos. The cow on the lowmac. What is the story behind that?
Haha yeah - the cows a paint to be honest, I try to keep him off the lines, but he just insists on getting in the shot :/
All the best,
Sam :)

Thanks for watching,

Hey Sam would you reccomend the newish Sir Nigel Gresley colldction even although I probably will never get it
Yeah I could recommend it from what I've seen - only at the right price though, of course!
All the best,
Sam :)
Well I saw the lowmoo.
haha well spotted! ;D
I thought the V4 was Gresley's last engine.
You may be right - I'm not too sure! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
How much did you have to pay Lewis Hamilton to drive the Mallard? I have only just seen how old some of these videos are. Anything LNER is good enough for me. Thanks, Sam. Martin (Thailand)
haha!! Glad to hear that - you can't beat the LNER! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hi! That's an awesome idea - I'll have to do that some time!! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
excellent locomotives. If you're interested I got some American Rolling Stock period for sale I got some freight cars
Thanks very much, glad you liked them! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll bear that in mind!
All the best mate,
Sam :)
14:14 is that your only loco with sound? Do any of your other locos have DCC but no sound?
16:09 the Prince of Wales new build P2 now has a completed smokebox, and they're doing work on the drive wheels.
17:23 do you have a model Mallard in LNER blue?
22:32 you said 4471, when it's actually 4771!
Hi again - no I do have a few other sound locos: A4, Class 8, 4F and a Class 40!
That's good news regarding the P2 - it will be amazing to see one of those in steam again!
Yes I do have a Mallard in blue, though it's a Wrenn one!
My apologies if I made a mistake there - but thanks for pulling that up!
All the best,
Sam :)
Not trying to be rude or anything, but putting “!” Kind of sounds harsh when you think about it.
Mallard was painted green? I prefer the blue
haha yeah! I prefer blue too actually! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
17:07 Great Scott. It's Mallard. This LNER A4 Pacific Steam Locomotive Is A Bit Like Spencer From Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends. Thanks Sam'sTrains Mate. X
haha yes!! Yes it is very similar to Spencer! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You Smart Cookie Sam'sTrains Mate. X
Hey Sam do you think that if Gresley were alive today he would be proud or disappointed about No. 2007 Prince of Wales?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi! Well it all depends what sort of job they do on it - if they pull it off, I'm sure he'd be very proud!
All the best,
Sam :)
hey Sam'sTrains the black train looks like runaway James from Thomas and Friends the Adventure begains
Kirby Op your right except it doesn't have the leading wheel
I wish silver link and silver fox were preserved. :(
Me too Piggy :(

Mind if I ask, what are the preserved A4’s besides Mallard, and I think Union of South Africa...
Ooh now you're asking - there's Sir Nigel Gresley, Dwight D Eisenhower, Bittern, and a couple more that I forget!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like Gresley's locos
Me too Matthew! :D
Hey Sam why did people hated Thompson?
Because he meddled with Gresley's beloved designs! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
