Just a little bit of fun. Did a couple of (rough) calculations and worked out that this is how LNER A4 Pacific steam locomotive no. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley would be like if she was doing 100mph in steam days. Sir Nigel Gresley holds the official post-war speed record for steam traction of 112 mph on the 23rd of May 1959 with an SLS Railtour, and even though her sister 'Mallard' broke the official world speed record of steam of 126mph, Sir Nigel Gresley is in revenue earning service on the main line and can be seen for all generations to admire.
I hope you like the video. Feel free to like, comment, and subscribe for more Steam action from Full Steam Ahead.
Speed it up 4 times and make it do 200 mph and you’ll have broken the world steam record twice ! 🥰
Gave me chills. Magnificent sight and sound.
Good ol' Sir Nigel Gresley. She never fails to impress.

@@RiverDoncaster You call the engine a he, I call the engine a she. It makes no difference, whether we think of SNG as being male or female. We're all different.
SNG-she?????????????????????????????????///
@@BIGV710 To me, the engine is female. It's because of the chime whistle she has.
Guys, I’m not sure why Kelly calling the locomotive ‘she’ matters. If they want to then let them lol, there’s no ‘right’ pronoun for a locomotive :/
What does it matter what speed it is or isn't attaining, it's just a joy watching her in action......
Truth matters.
It's just put there as click bait to get more views. A bit pathetic really
That was awesome. At first, I didn't believe that it was doing 100mph, so I calculated it. Using the last clip because of the abundance of suitable markers, I timed the train passing the ground signal (slowing the video down to reduce my margin of error). I came up with 850 feet in 5.75 seconds, which comes out to 100.3mph - give or take a couple of mph either way because of rounding errors.
The footage is sped up in all of the clips. Not even DMUs get up to 100mph on the Marches!
Well it wasn't doing 100 mph for me, the frame froze but the sound kept on going. I thought Heck, the computer is too slow so I reloaded it and then ... saw that the low down video maker had stupidly frozen the video halfway along. What a Moron! No wonder David Lamy or Sir Keir Starmer are what they are.
Those sheep can run fast😂😂😂😂😂 as fast as the train if you speed it up more.
60007 was placed onto the rollers without her tender and run up to high speeds to monitor the coal and water usage of the locomotive. Sir Nigel Gresley is the holder of the postwar steam record speed of 112 miles per hour (180 km/h) gained on 23 May 1959 and carries a plaque to that effect.
Silver link did 112.5 mph
Got to see her fly through the station near Thorpe Park back in the summer of 2004. Freak chance. Just happened to be disembarking a train from Basingstoke at the time. Absolute poetry!
Even a video of her doing 100mph gives me chills
Amazing how the birds fly so fast in this film. The film would be better at the correct speed.
Even if it's not at the century mark, it is certainly hauling ass!
Thank you for your brilliant video i saw it today at our local station wigan northwestern just fantastic regards kevin😊
As a kid we watched the Deltics go through Ranskill ,which were going past at over 100mph ,when A4 ,"Miles Beaver came past ,the smoke was flat along it ,my brother managed to read the name plate it was going that fast,jusst as fast as the deltics , wish e had mobile phones in them days lol ,around1963
What a beautiful sight ❤
Great effects - certainly gives a perspective of what it would have looked like in full flow.
Fantastic locomotive! I’ve always loved British steam power.
Nice video, many thanks for posting it 👍
Super video, superb engine. UK have done so well with their preservation of steam.
This' is probably the closest u can get of reimaging of the Pacifics ran in their prime
Sir Nigel Gresley not doing 100mph
Read the write up.
It wasn't
It's to old to
Not allowed to go that fast
Yes they are,on speed testing watch the tornado doing over 100 mph 👍😎
Why does it have a diesel train pushing it along?
It has to do with all the electronic communications that need to happen when a train runs down the line- the modern loco has all that; the steam loco doesn't.
Ah, my favorite british steamie
The 100 mph that the LNER A4 achieves Sir Nigel Gresley explains why in Thomas and friends Spencer was able to achieve great speeds
It isnt a theory when they regularly run 75 - 90 mph
@@polandballrbx9954, but they don’t regularly run at 75-90 !
@@polandballrbx9954
75 mph max.
My great grandfather was one of the drivers of this. A Clarence Fletcher.
Was that a diesel engine I saw pushing the train from behind? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having a steam engine pull it in the first place? :/
Yes, that was a diesel at the end. The diesel is there to reduce stress on the steamer to increase mechanical longevity due to the limited availability and high price of replacement components. The diesel is only doing 25% of the work at most. It is also assurance that the steamer can make it back to the roundhouse if something goes wrong.
@@coleman7304 Ah okay that total sense when you put it that way, and yeah I'd rather a diesel help out a bit from behind than the steamer destroy itself from working too hard
It's ok she isn't going 100 mph but it's entertaining
Speed of the video is like 2 X faster !
Yes, if the sound of whistle is carefully observed
Yeah if you slow it down to 0.5 speed you see how fast it I'd actually going 😂
Unbelievable thanks for sharing 👍
Certainly shifting along as is their wont.Hope the middle big end is ok.
Absolutely magnificent!😀
Sir Nigel Gresley yes, 100mph NO.
she did have a gallop on
Fantastic machine 👌
Nice looking train ❤
All those track formations don't look 100mph. And Sir Nigel is only allowed to do 75mph. Only tornado was allowed to to do 100mph at night with mk3 coaches. Fake film. So sad..
Read the description
But not on that track formation.
Why does the video look so sped ip
It is sped up. In reality it's going much slower.
Forgive my ignorance,but why the diesel attached to the rear of the train?
Generating power for the on-board electronics, and backup in case of mechanical failure of the steam engine
Brilliant
What was the real speed here?
75mph is the maximum permitted speed for a preserved loco on main lines. Tornado did a 100mph run with special permission.
About 60mph.
Amazing sight 😲👍
Awsome
My hutt

I've always felt the Mallard 126mph speed record is not right. They broke the engine doing it. surely that record should not count. A german steam loco did 125mph without trashing it's bearings.
It still got to 125mph, melting the locomotive's bearing doing so doesn't matter
So if u ran to 40mph and u broke something in your leg, did you reach 40mph ?
If you were in a running race maybe you didn't get to the finish line! no point in having a fast train that does not reach it's destination. @@itzmespencer
@@gaugeonesteam What a silly statement, yes it did run a bearing so what! Suggest you read the book on "Mallard".
@@waterside13 What a silly reply, I see you are good at intelligent debate NOT!
Is Spencer in real life
95mph
75 mph
👍
Sped up the video much 😂
😂
You don't film a speed event using zoom. It kills the whole effect.
