Douglas Marsh would be so proud that someone resurrected his finest creation! It’ll look stunning if they painted it into LBSC umber and hooked it up with the Pullman set.
Unfortunately the cab shape is the modified post grouping shape given by the Southern Railway. But Beachy Head in SR lined green with the Pullman set would be a wonderful evocation of the Southern Belle in its later years.
I think the Atlantics are so elegant and well proportiones, my favourite is the GN Ivatt C1s and you can see how beautiful Beachy head is. How wonderful when its fully lined out in BR mixed traffic livery.
@@Zahnny_2006 Yes. It uses an ex GNR C1 Atlantic boiler as both classes were very similar in design. The tender chassis, wheels and a few other smaller components are original LBSC parts. Everything else is brand new.
Yes the Brighton Atlantics were all scrapped, the last one being Beachy Head, just before the preservation movement got going. BUT Beachy Head's regulator handle was saved and is now on the 'new' engine, so is it a new build, a rebuild or a restoration?! Check the Bluebell Railway's website for details of Beachy Head's official launch into traffic this August. Can't wait.
We're very lucky in the UK because a 1960s scrapyard bought over 200 locos to dismantle, but never got round to it so the locos were sold on for restoration, some being just hulks needing huge work. The scrapyard was Woodhams in Barry, South Wales, without which we'd have far less preserved locos.
@@mattlander9119 thanks! Lol I couldn’t remember seeing this engine anywhere before so I figured it was new but the boiler wasn’t super shiny so I wasn’t sure.
No it's an LBSC H2. Very similar as the designer of the H2 D.E. Marsh was an assistant of Ivatt at the GNR and had a copy of the drawings and made changes to build his own version.
The driver is on the diesel shunter, with one eye looking forward and one eye on the bacon frying on his cab's hotplate (a bit different from bacon and eggs on the steam fireman's shovel...).
I am surprised that no one's made a comment. How wonderful to see another "Phoenix rise from the ashes"... fantastic achievement.
She's breathing even without a fire
"Back from the dead and reporting for duty!"

Judging by the "breathing" from the chimney, the timing and piston valves sound dead square and fresh!
Good to see another forgotten species arise from the Work Shops
An Atlantic! What a beauty!
It's easy to see the romanticism of steam engines. These mighty iron beasts roar into life with steam, and even while sleeping idle, breathe.
We see Victorian 4-4-0’s steaming with the T3 and now Edwardian 4-4-2’s Steaming with the H2.
That's an excellent locomotive! Reminds me of the Atlantic-class locomotives of the USA.
Soon, there will be modern footage of an 4-4-2 locomotive in motion.
atlantic types are my favorite locomotives. would be so awesome to see one back in action
Why are atlantics so friggin gorgeous??
She’s alive!
I think the Atlantics are so elegant and well proportiones, my favourite is the GN Ivatt C1s and you can see how beautiful Beachy head is.
How wonderful when its fully lined out in BR mixed traffic livery.
I’m just saddened they didn’t give her a non BR livery, but it’s a fetching engine regardless
Didn't know that one of these beauties still exists. Love from Germany!
It's a new-build - a modern replica of a class and an engine that has been extinct for 60 years.
I love it's funky design, honnestly the more locos are preserved and the more of them that can still run under their own power the better.
This is a new--build. Not a preserved loco.
@@teraris WAIT REALLY?
Absolutely fantastic! I have the 00 gauge model but I will to travel down from Northumberland to see this beauty!
Gorgeous loco... I can't wait to see her finally in service.
My Granddad drove this beautiful engine
That's so dope! I thought all of those Atlantics were scrapped! I'm glad to see that I was wrong.
It's a new build that's just been completed after 20+ years
@@mattlander9119 Really? Like a replica?
@@Zahnny_2006 Yes. It uses an ex GNR C1 Atlantic boiler as both classes were very similar in design. The tender chassis, wheels and a few other smaller components are original LBSC parts. Everything else is brand new.
@@mattlander9119 Either way that’s crazy, how they practically resurrected a locomotive. And thanks for tell me about how they did it.
Ive somehow never managed to see a video of an Atlantic in todays times until now, i hope we can see her on the mainline
It is very unlikely it will go mainline. There's no space to sympathetically fit electronic gear.
An Atlantic engine!
their legacy still lives on to this day...
No way they brought her back.
That could’ve been Henry
What Henry was supposed to be😊
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Its breathing
Never thought I'd see the day.
The last A1 prototype
Is she finished already? How did I not notice this?
Sir topham hat: I wanted an Atlantic, But that son of a B#tch Sent Me That!!!
Henry: WHAT THE FU-
bro🙃
That is an atlantic tho
what.
shut up for christ sake
I WANTED AN ALANTIC! and he uh sent me one
Despite not yet beening in steam I carnt wait for day when she steam fir first time and long lost design return to rail
😮 an atlantic
Wow, wow, wow. Cant wait for steaming.
Stunning Locomotive - Fantastic achievement! Congratulations to all involved. Now a repaint in anything but horrible boring BR black 😊
Phoenix rise from the ashes
AHHHH I'M SO EXCITED
Wow!
i tought the atlantics were all scrapped

Omg Fenchurch 💕💖💗💞

As someone from the US, im just curious, are steam locomotives common in the UK or are they just as rare as in the US?
We're very lucky in the UK because a 1960s scrapyard bought over 200 locos to dismantle, but never got round to it so the locos were sold on for restoration, some being just hulks needing huge work. The scrapyard was Woodhams in Barry, South Wales, without which we'd have far less preserved locos.
Is this locomotive a new build?
Yes. All except the boiler, tender frames, tender wheelsets and regulator handle is brand new.
@@mattlander9119 thanks! Lol I couldn’t remember seeing this engine anywhere before so I figured it was new but the boiler wasn’t super shiny so I wasn’t sure.
@@nicholastrainssd75m45 That's the cladding. Merely dust from the workshop. It was painted some time ago.The boiler is beneath the external cladding.
I found the sir Nigel gresly 😢 and no one commented 😪
I thought that was an atlantic
That's what a 4-4-2 wheel arrangement is known as
Is it a replica?
Is that a c1 or am I stupid
No it's an LBSC H2. Very similar as the designer of the H2 D.E. Marsh was an assistant of Ivatt at the GNR and had a copy of the drawings and made changes to build his own version.
@@mattlander9119 thanks for confirming I'm stupid
She was never scrapped?
Yes the original Beachy Head was scrapped in 1958
A 4-4-2 Atlantic
"Beachy Head"? Is that her name?
Yes
When was this Atlantic built
Modern scratch-build, starting with an ex-GNR boiler which was virtually identical to the H2.
A c1 Atlantic of a 4-4-2
It's an Ex LBSC H2 not a GNR C1
Honestly it's hard to tell the difference they look identical
There is no Driver
The driver is on the diesel shunter, with one eye looking forward and one eye on the bacon frying on his cab's hotplate (a bit different from bacon and eggs on the steam fireman's shovel...).
fenders, five digits, and rugged metal baby bumpers, lol, no thanks
Is Beachy Head in steam?
Not in this video but it has now been steamed and moved for the first time yesterday.
