I see that the museum preserves not only locomotives but also the old BR pastime of one person working, with at least another half dozen standing around watching. ;o)
Thank you very much for the very nice video. It is a great pleasure to know that you have preserved the Shinkansen trains as carefully as the many historic trains that your country is proud of. From the home of the Shinkansen, with heartfelt thanks and the greatest respect.
This was a fun watch! Would love to see more like this but it is a bit strange seeing this uploaded so long after it's taken place. As noted in another comment, the museum has been as shown for many months now. Would be fun to have seen this around the time the changes were being made! Regardless, I hope there's more like this in store
I’ve been here when I went on holiday to Skipsea on the East Yorkshire coast in August 2022. It was great seeing all the trains, especially the Shinkansen train!
Visiting some other museums, I'm looking forward to the new exposition in York! But I can't help myself: "Months of planning" just to realize the coupler can't fit and the track in the tunnel mockup is loose? I know, the video would be far less dramatic ;-)
I thought that too. I'm going to assume that for dramatic tension the videographer decided to make the planners look incompetent, and hope they they actually had planned for these these items. All they needed to do was leave out the line about months of planning!
There’s this fantastic video by Jaggo Hazzard where he shows all the different things in the museum at the end of the video he stumbles across the Eurostar he is shocked at seeing and closes the video after that. His reaction to seeing the Eurostar was very funny 😄 he was showing his age.
Great to see what goes on behind the scenes and see some of the exhibits again! Not easy when the locos can’t move under their own power. Nice to see all executed safely and without any damage to those precious locos, couldn’t hope for a better outcome!
Fascinating video! But it does worry me that nobody looked at the rails on where it was going to go during the planning phase and that it was somehow only noticed when the train was 1m from the pit! 😂
My sister and I visited from Maine USA in 2019. We only had time to see the older trains and the Royal trains. It was amazing! Next time we'll have to see the modern trains. York is a beautiful city!
Liverpool is brilliant these days. Unlike when I was growing up there in the 60's and 70's - then it was a total dump. Amazing how they have turned the city around since then. I ran away in 1977 to live in London and eventually ended up near Harrogate and Leeds - so yes Harrogate is a good place to visit too.
A nice, interesting behind the scenes video. And the little battery shunter was impressive too, especially discovering something that small can shift 450 tons!
Been visiting York railway museum in it's various forms since 1950, then as the NRM, with son's then grandsons and granddaughters. Eldest grandson is now employed there for the Science Museum Group. Lucky lad.
I've visited the Museum - twice. First time many decades ago. Travelled up from London by train with my then young son on a Bank Holiday Monday only to find the museum shut - as it was a Bank Holiday! No internet back then to find these things out. We went and visited York Minster instead - got up in the Bell Tower which is not often open. Decades later my now grown son took me and his family back to the museum to knock off one of my 'bucket list' visits which has now sensibly long been open on Bank Holidays. I did wonder back then about how tricky it must be to arrange all the kit. If you are ever in York do go and visit - it has some incredible exhibits. If going by train York Station is right next to the museum.
Idk why it is, probably is the first one made and probably how the original railroad before nationalization numbered things. But it's not that at all, according to the other replies it's because the tender needs work and they're modernizing the museum.
The beeping is highly annoying. Ironically it's probably loud enough to injure the operator's hearing if you use it regularly, while i totally understand the beep is meant to avoid people from walking into its path. Still, i think it should be removed - or at the very least replaced by something much quieter.
One day, One day hope to get over the ocean to see 3308 in person. It's a funny story how I become a fan of Eurostar.. 6th grade project I was given the order of researching and presenting the history and importance's of the Channel Tunnel (I never heard of it before hand), and that's when I heard the sounds and the beauty of the 373. Since then some 12 years later it has been a dream of come over and see not only 3308 but the rest of the rolling stock you have but see the 373 in acting, the videos which are in the hundreds I've seen over the years doesn't do Justice to standing there in person.
enjoyed the video and who ever came up with the idea of euro star with the tunnel segment clearly had some idea to to pair them both kinda think euro star looks nicer there then were it was before
The stark difference on the class 08 shunter and that battery shunter with its excessive constant beeping. health and safety has gone mad with these warning sounds on vehicles, where i can hear the bin lorry reverse 3 roads away on bin day. We don't need a beep every second at 1500000000db. Christ.
And given the "broadband" type reversing beepers have existed for more than a decade, it's surprising the horrible ear piercing beepers still get installed on anything.
I do wish they would return the NRM to LONDON where it belongs! It was then called the 'Transport Museum' and we could actually get to visit it. Nows its UP NORTH in the middle of nowhere few get to see or appreciate it- international tourists have no idea its even THERE. Time for a National petition to return it to London! Great video. 2023 is a GREAT TIME to move the museum SOUTH again. to it PROPER HOME where millions will enjoy it, not just a few thousand were it is now.
No. Great Britain isn't just London. The industrial North and Midlands are where the majority of locos were designed and built so it's only right that their final resting place is up here.
remember when you got the bullet train and no one measured the width of the body and part of the car park had to be demolished to get the bullet train in?
Fascinating and enlightening - I love this sort of content from NRM 👍 However, regarding the repositioning of the Eurostar (and please bear in mind I haven't visited for a while), why didn't you build the segment of tunnel around the locomotive in the first place 😊
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can 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 and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars 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 Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 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 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 car 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 cars 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 Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC 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 37 Octagon and Every 17 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 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH 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 Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH 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.
British railroad museums: "To help move the heavy locomotives we have little battery operated shunter names Tweetie." American railroad museums: "Fire 'er up and move 'er out!"
So these guys planned it for months but didn't think about the couplings or the rail it would be travelling on.... Shunting is something railways and museums do every day I am not sure why this is such a big deal.. The narrator is trying to make it sound more complicated that it actually is.
Wanted to visit this but the tracks to York from London were under maintainence. How ironic when attempting to visit the rail museum in the country that invented the railway!
Why did they use the shunter to move the engine and then the battery shunter to push the carriage up to it. Why not just use the shunter to pull both at once?
Just do not understand why loco preservationists go to superb lengths to restore a locomotive (full of praise for them), and 😮then fail to use the correct and original style or font of loco number!!!!! D200 is an example, and expect more from the NRM. 46100 is just the same. Ok call me a rivet counter.....but why oh why not get EVERYTHING correct???.. there must be enough volunteers helping who remember when the loco's were running in the 1960s........am I the only one who can see this big error? Once again full,of praise for the people who keep the engines in tip top condition, but the fine detail is also so important!
So the operator can be at the front of the train and check it’s safe to progress whilst it is being propelled from the rear and can react immediately to any problems, it’s a safe way of doing things. Kinda like you don’t put the driver in the back or boot of your vehicle and the passengers in the front all obscuring the drivers view……
This was a great watch. These mini documentaries are what I'm here for!
It was like watching a group of people playing with the world's largest train set. Scale 1:1
I see that the museum preserves not only locomotives but also the old BR pastime of one person working, with at least another half dozen standing around watching. ;o)
But they are "supervising"
the need cardboard tasting cheese sandwiches ,lukewarm watery coffee to be authentic to the BR experience
When a normal work day for me gets turned into a documentary XD I knew they were filming, but didnt know this would turn up!
The National Railway Museum is a fantastic visit, a must for any railway enthusiasts.
I Really hope we get more of these sort of videos, it's always fasinating what happens Behind the scenes at the museum
Thank you very much for the very nice video.
It is a great pleasure to know that you have preserved the Shinkansen trains as carefully as the many historic trains that your country is proud of.

Interesting, but kinda over-dramatized
I’m pretty sure this is a piece from a documentary on Channel 4. I’m fairly sure I watched the whole thing on RUclips a few years back
@@MrJimheeren can't be that far back, they only did the move 6 months ago.
Music hits that plinky plonky bbc cliché documentary vibe as well
Of course it's made more dramatic. It's art, not just science.
Way over dramatised
I’ve been here when I went on holiday to Skipsea on the East Yorkshire coast in August 2022. It was great seeing all the trains, especially the Shinkansen train!
I hope more of this will be filmed cuz it's fun to watch
This is positively amazing, and I would love to see more of this. Keep up the amazing work!
They rlly thought we wouldn’t notice them making a cheeky swap with footage of the Stirling single instead of 737 at 6:20
Visiting some other museums, I'm looking forward to the new exposition in York! But I can't help myself: "Months of planning" just to realize the coupler can't fit and the track in the tunnel mockup is loose? I know, the video would be far less dramatic ;-)

Get a life, nerd.
I loved this behind the scenes look into the logistics and team coordination at the museum. Hope to see more uploads like this...😊🚂
There’s this fantastic video by Jaggo Hazzard where he shows all the different things in the museum at the end of the video he stumbles across the Eurostar he is shocked at seeing and closes the video after that. His reaction to seeing the Eurostar was very funny 😄 he was showing his age.

What a neat piece of kit that battery shunter is!
Fascinating video! But it does worry me that nobody looked at the rails on where it was going to go during the planning phase and that it was somehow only noticed when the train was 1m from the pit! 😂
Totally. That and not hvg the correct coupling connection. Didnt they do a physical walkthrough of all the movements?
Me and my family go there regularly we enjoy it. Seen Scotsman couple times at the museum even when on the move.
Months to plan that! I'm in the wrong job.
Really interesting and loving the Battery RRV & 09 shunters being used.
Why did 737 suddenly change into a Stirling Single at 6:20?
My sister and I visited from Maine USA in 2019. We only had time to see the older trains and the Royal trains. It was amazing! Next time we'll have to see the modern trains. York is a beautiful city!
If you come to the UK again, put Bath and Harrogate on your wish list
If you come to the UK again, don't go to liverpool or birmingham lol
Liverpool is brilliant these days. Unlike when I was growing up there in the 60's and 70's - then it was a total dump. Amazing how they have turned the city around since then. I ran away in 1977 to live in London and eventually ended up near Harrogate and Leeds - so yes Harrogate is a good place to visit too.
We need the next Curator with a Camera!
I wanna see the Curators go THROUGH the BRR-3000 and the BR Class 09.
A nice, interesting behind the scenes video.
And the little battery shunter was impressive too, especially discovering something that small can shift 450 tons!
First thing I would be doing is disconnecting that damned bleeper!
@@paulredding5864 No you wouldn't.
0:29 "Its not just a normal shunt".
No it's a bunch of shunts 😄
RRV ftw! But you still can't complete a shunting job without a Gronk *somewhere* around the place.
As Bond's groundskeeper used to say... "Sometimes, the best ways, are the old ways."
Been visiting York railway museum in it's various forms since 1950, then as the NRM, with son's then grandsons and granddaughters. Eldest grandson is now employed there for the Science Museum Group. Lucky lad.
hi, great video,great to see D200, fond memories when it was saved from certain death back in the early 80s
That was a cool peek behind the scenes. Thank you!

Loved that :) This museum is my favourite, I recommend it to all.
my school took us here its safe to say that everyone really liked it!
Class 08 is one the best locomotives ever made.
Wow.
Such an amazing insight, I love videos like these, like a mini documentary.
Huge props to the editor/editors 😊
Wonderful to see
What great video on the update of the museum !
I like that little green hi-rail tractor, I think it's a quite nice little shunter.
It's well worth a visit
Just out of interest, why is the Q1, numbered 'C1' uncoupled from its tender which is sitting outside?
They’re redeveloping the whole museum, which means shifting locos out of the way.
think its tender needs some form of work to it
Idk why it is, probably is the first one made and probably how the original railroad before nationalization numbered things. But it's not that at all, according to the other replies it's because the tender needs work and they're modernizing the museum.
She was already displayed in the great hall with no tender when I saw her last summer.
That was great! Planning to go here for the first time later this Spring and can't wait!
The beeping is highly annoying. Ironically it's probably loud enough to injure the operator's hearing if you use it regularly, while i totally understand the beep is meant to avoid people from walking into its path.
Still, i think it should be removed - or at the very least replaced by something much quieter.
It's meant to be loud idiot
Mole hill to mountain springs to mind
That little battery switcher looks pretty handy.
Great job Ben 😍
loved this hope you do more of these documentaries
Months of planning but didn't pre-check the safety factors on that tunnel rails before whacking a Eurostar power car on it?
One day, One day hope to get over the ocean to see 3308 in person.

Really enjoyed this video
I really like trains make more shunt videos please
This would be an amazing place to work.
This is truly a real-life puzzle.
Amazing how advanced looking the Shinkansen is considering that they were designed back in the mid 1960’s 😮
As it should be for the space race era :P
I went here I loved it your amazing York railway Mueseum
enjoyed the video and who ever came up with the idea of euro star with the tunnel segment clearly had some idea to to pair them both kinda think euro star looks nicer there then were it was before
Beautiful! 😍😍😍 I hope I can visit the museum. All the pieces are amazing.
The stark difference on the class 08 shunter and that battery shunter with its excessive constant beeping. health and safety has gone mad with these warning sounds on vehicles, where i can hear the bin lorry reverse 3 roads away on bin day.
We don't need a beep every second at 1500000000db. Christ.
And given the "broadband" type reversing beepers have existed for more than a decade, it's surprising the horrible ear piercing beepers still get installed on anything.
I would have gone and cut some under hood wires 😂 How can one stay focused on anything while having to listen this ear-piercing noise pollution!?!
@@tin2001 they put them on those sissor lifts too, thing moves at 1mph with flashing lights and beeps the same as that yoke.
That was so enjoyable to watch. All the best for the future. Unfortunately I'm living in Oz and would love to see the NRM now
This is awesome
I do wish they would return the NRM to LONDON where it belongs! It was then called the 'Transport Museum' and we could actually get to visit it. Nows its UP NORTH in the middle of nowhere few get to see or appreciate it- international tourists have no idea its even THERE. Time for a National petition to return it to London!

No. Great Britain isn't just London. The industrial North and Midlands are where the majority of locos were designed and built so it's only right that their final resting place is up here.

Stop being so self-centered and egotistical.
OP -1 Flamebait.
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
great video guys!
remember when you got the bullet train and no one measured the width of the body and part of the car park had to be demolished to get the bullet train in?
beautiful train
This is so cool
It felt a little bit wrong to see these Eurostar and O-series greyhounds moving at a snail's pace under battery power!
Months of planning and so many things overlooked.
I’m coming here next Sunday on my 35th Birthday.
7:45 but there’s a problem C l O N K
Fascinating and enlightening - I love this sort of content from NRM 👍 However, regarding the repositioning of the Eurostar (and please bear in mind I haven't visited for a while), why didn't you build the segment of tunnel around the locomotive in the first place 😊

The d class aka edward in my au MOVED . How cool I have ate my food with that engine once
👍🏾😎 Greetings from 🇩🇪
British railroad museums:
"To help move the heavy locomotives we have little battery operated shunter names Tweetie."
American railroad museums:
"Fire 'er up and move 'er out!"
Ive got a model Eurostar train now
So these guys planned it for months but didn't think about the couplings or the rail it would be travelling on.... Shunting is something railways and museums do every day I am not sure why this is such a big deal.. The narrator is trying to make it sound more complicated that it actually is.
Since when have we had Railroads in the UK? Railways is what we have, plus I it was patronising in the way way it was put over!
Well, thank God they have their HiViz vests on so they don't get run over by the fast-moving trains. Brilliant thinking gents!!
IE switching or switcher. (the green thing would be called a "hi-rail" in the usa)
Wanted to visit this but the tracks to York from London were under maintainence. How ironic when attempting to visit the rail museum in the country that invented the railway!
Why did they use the shunter to move the engine and then the battery shunter to push the carriage up to it. Why not just use the shunter to pull both at once?
So 'rush hour' board game but with trains 🙂 Interesting
Its amazing that Tweety can pull 3 class 40s cuz a class 40 is 135 tones and 135 x 3 = 405 and Tweety can tow 450 tones
Torque is a great tool
There original display Eurostar mock-up and Channel Tunnel mock-up in National Railway Museum
cool
So what happened to “Advanced Planning”. Nothing was invisible before the moved - all the dramatic delays could have been totally avoided….
Just do not understand why loco preservationists go to superb lengths to restore a locomotive (full of praise for them), and 😮then fail to use the correct and original style or font of loco number!!!!! D200 is an example, and expect more from the NRM. 46100 is just the same.
Ok call me a rivet counter.....but why oh why not get EVERYTHING correct???.. there must be enough volunteers helping who remember when the loco's were running in the 1960s........am I the only one who can see this big error? Once again full,of praise for the people who keep the engines in tip top condition, but the fine detail is also so important!
You guys ever gonna bring 58015 to the museum??
When I was younger, I thought you had to cold start each steam engine and diesel locomotive in order to re arrange them 😅
Excellent video
Really interesting video, thanks! As an aside what will become of 31018? Would be nice to see that loco running again.
Give us more updates soon like this
I don't see the safety reason as to why the shunter needs to be remotely operated
It's all just for show "oh look at us" guarantee if the camera's weren't there they would have done it.
Fake stakes
