60163 Tornado doing 100mph!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2014
- Just a little bit of fun. Did a couple of (rough) calculations and worked out this is how 60163 Tornado might look like when she hopefully does roughly 100mph in the future, seen at Abergavenny on the outward run of 'The Cathedrals Express' on her way to Hereford and Shrewsbury on the 24th of November 2012. In reality, she was doing around 75mph.

It's almost odd to see a steam engine moving THIS fast really. Respect to the engineers who without any modern aids designed an engine that can do this! Legends...
Edit: I know this was sped up. I am aware of that. It was merely a comment on how nice it is to see one of these going for it a bit, even if it wasn't strictly as fast as the video depicts!! I am still in awe of the engineering prowess for the time which was kind of my point
Sped up to look like it.
@@fastmclaren71 It may be sped up, but steam loco's can go at a pretty impressive rate when designed and allowed to! An old steam locomotive can keep up with modern trains on most rail lines, they were mainly swapped out for diesels simply for efficiency, not speed.
Probably they retired us steam engines because coal was getting too expensive and either had to convert us to burning oil, or retire us all together.
@@unionpacific8448 Its a shame becaues in theory steam power can reach similar efficiency to internal combustion, using the Rankine Cycle. It just wasn't possible due to materials and the "traditional" way of doing things on a steam engine. But, with some innovation it may be able to get there, but I guess we'll never know as there isn't a need for it.
@@unionpacific8448 No that’s not why
As an Engineer and lover of Steam Trains, it amazes me that these beasts can produce steam so quickly that they can move at these speeds. All designed by men with no computers to run simulations or the like. Gresley et al were REAL Engineers. The stuff of legend.
If tornado was going a 100mph, she would need to have a better boiler and better pistons and alot more stuff
+Dan Man10 Gaming She is capable of 100mph.. Just Network Rail don't allow it.
Maybe because its for safty reasons just incase because im pretty sure tornado would have to run very hard to get to that speed so maybe its because they don't want a piston breaking
+Dan Man10 Gaming
dude it's called Cylinders... not piston..
and also All of the class A1 have 8000 gallons of water and 8 tons of coal so basically it can do 100 mph.
NorthEasternHD oh sorry, I thought they were called pistons
Now that's impressive!
People think steam is dead but no - we still use steam to generate the majority of our electricity for starters.
Fun fact: A few years back Tornado was actually pressed into service during some winter storms, because the third rail froze up and stranded electric trains.
wolfbyte3171 proves electric is shit
@@hi-ot8kf Just proves third rail is shit :)
If you think about it a nuclear generating station is just a fancy pot of water with one helluva heating element in a closed loop water system.
Yep, dead right! all our nuclear power stations are simply a very expensive method of converting water into steam power.
".......And Gordon thundered by."
"He did it, I'll do it!"
He'll knock himself to bits chuckled Duck
The Speeding up of the video really helped a lot
.75X is like the real normal speed.
ruclips.net/video/wAGutU3BL_U/видео.html
2x speed, boom, 200 mph.
Still only looks 60mph
DaMarcus008 sounds like a v12 f1 car
That whistle is AMAZING!
Mr_Noah I've never really liked British whistles and horns, I like American whistles and horns because they usually sound lower and more beefy
I'd like American whistles and horns if they'd stop sounding them all the freaking time!
Luca Grignano, hmm really!? I just like them when they have a higher pitch! And it means you can hear them from far away too! Right?
Mr_Noah with American trains they usually have more than 1 horn on the train
A Real Beuty
I could never understand why people raved about steam trains, growing up in the 1970's and 80's seeing them on preserved lines doing 15-20 mph, chuff chuff chuffing along, did nothing for me. But the last 10-15 years or so, seeing them back on the mainline at 70 (ish) mph I really get it now. Awesome engineering when seen at there best.
U think thats cool, you should see a Big Boy doing 80 🤤
@@duckhunter354 Mine's bigger than yours, eh?
@@laurieharper1526 It's not a "mine vs yours" thing. A big articulated is just a whole other kind of thing, with the two independent sets of rods going at it. I think any steam fan that's honest should be able to appreciate both the size and power of Big Boy, as well as the speed of the British pacifics. You couldn't fit a Big Boy on British rails, and a steam engine doing 100+ in the US would attract 7 or 8 dozen lawyers. We each have what the other doesn't. Anyone who can't appreciate both is just being stubborn.
@@JETZcorp I agree. I love US steam locos and appreciate the astonishing engineering that went into making therm. I was being sarcastic. Incidentally, whilst I admire the Big Boys and Challengers, The N&W J class are for me the finest steam locos ever built (I say that as a Brit). Just my humble opinion, of course.
OK you should see Mallard doing 126 mph, BEAT THAT IN AMERICA, I don't think. If it wasn't for UK, you would never have been part of it. The first locomotive EVER to run in USA came from Stourbridge UK. She was called 'THE STOURBRIDGE LION'. Came to USA in 1828, which in t paved the way for you to join the industrial revolution. Your Tom Thumb did not come along till 2 years later. That's how long it took you lot to understand steam. IT ALL BEGAN IN THE UK...
When you're late to Hogwarts.
Lol right that train barely touched 80 miles an hour
I spit out my coffee when I read this!!!! Take a bow!!! Omg i'm dying laughing!!
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Got to blast
Hence the name, it moves like a tornado. What a majestic piece of machinery.
Sounded like a freaking F1 car. Awesome video
Sounds better than a Ferrari.
+Carson Welch true, and a Ferrari can't be as beautiful as an A1
+Nick Hartmans True. Gresley A1 and basically all other steam locomotives are better than F1 cars in my opinion. Steam Engines are so much more elegant.
Or in this case a Peppercorn A1.
That was the whistle, which was even higher pitched than usual, since he sped the video up to make it look faster than it was actually going.
Nice foreshadowing. As of last week (19th of April 2017), Tornado has officially been clocked at the ton - 101·6mph to be precise. And that was with one MK1, eight MK2s, and a dead 67 in tow... just imagine what she could do with only six on, as Mallard had in '38!
Total weight, what ? about 600 tons.
+Ex B.R. Buckeye Man Must be somewhere around that, aye. Not unimpressive!
While not as impressive as mallard's record it beat flying Scotsman and city of Truro for sure
When Gordon is late:
"For a minute there, I thought we were in trouble"... and then the camera zoomed out!
Power personified... _"Tornado"_ at full chat. Wonderful
What a engine. A tribute to everyone who believed in the project and worked so hard to bring it to fruition. Realey stirs something seeing a modern pacific at speed when alas most engines are confined to limits of restored railways.
As a 72 year old i remember steam trains and this brought a smile to my face thank you.
I like how nobody noticed this footage is sped up even though the description clearly states it. This train is capable of 100 mph / 161 kmh but isn't really able to reach that due to railroad laws.
It reached 100 in 2017 actually .
0:41 I've absolutely wanted to mention that I personally think that Tonado reaching 100MPH certainly happens to be such an amazingly awesomely excellent triumph in the history of Steamies as it seems that Tornado reset the famously well-known Flying Scotsman's own official record when it also apparently went 100MPH during the official non-stop passenger run from Edinburg in Scotland to London in England many years prior to Tornado getting built in Darlington exactly 15 years ago SINCE we're BASICALLY already in the year of 2023 when the year of 2008 respectfully was when the famously well-known locomotive known as Tornado got constructed from scratch as the official newest member of the Peppercorn A1 pacific steam-driven railway tender locomotives, but it's basically no complete surprise that all 49 of the previous line for the class were sentenced to the scrapyard to get cut up into pieces by the horrifying faith of the well-known horrifyingly horrid Scrapper's torch! Luckily, years later in 2008 was a specifically wonderfully great miracle for Great Britain's railways when Tornado got constructed! In fact, not too long after getting built, the famous custom-built from scratch Peppercorn class A1 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive known as Tornado went a specifically wonderfully officially special nighttime passenger run to try to reach 100MPH during the official return trip from Newcastle to York despite some several speed restrictions WHILE the officially official reaching 90MPH trip to Newcastle went off a bit shaky without a hitch whatsoever!
By the way, I personally just suddenly realized that you certainly can easily consider the officially official fact that Tornado's basically Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork who's basically carrying the officially official #4 LN E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive's own official "little brother" due to the officially 100% obviously well-known fact that Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork who's basically carrying the officially official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Greasley himself got built many years prior!
*Wow!!!!!* 😱😱 Is one steam locomotive very fast!! 100 MPH is 160 km/h here in Brazil! Great Vídeo.
And here in America we think 100 in an Acela is “bullet train” status 😂
@phillyslasher NYC too. Their Niagaras could hit 100, and routinely did 90 on the NYC to Chicago run. Day in, day out, and Niagara is a MUCH larger, and thus heavier, engine than anything ever built in the UK.
I have been on an Acela when it hit 150 MPH between Kingston, RI and Providence. That is quite fast but did not feel very fast at all. It is a well designed train. We should be proud of it!
America is an outdated third world country full of pansies who, like in the comments here, would rather just make self important excuses to pretend why they're the best instead of actually working for it. "But dey tuhk er jerbs" yeah no you never did your job in the first place and always just half assed it.
Even PRR engines could go faster than the Acela. Such as the original 7002 (Not Strasburg's whos actually PRR 8063 dressed as 7002) and T1s
@@kishascape I don't know where America touched you but ok lol
Oh man that engine is hammering along!! (Just as they used to and were designed to!). Awesome vid thanks!
I've especially wanted to mention that I personally saw another fine video showing brand-new L N E R class A1 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive built by the famous locomotive designer known as Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley's own complete successor of Arthur Peppercorn known as Tornado in some montages throughout my DVD movie titled The Best of World Steam in the section 'bout Great Britain, but the newly built L N E R class A1 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive known as Tornado was basically considered to be exactly painted in the official L N E R apple green livery WHILE ALSO DEFINITELY having the words of British Railways painted on the side of the tender SINCE it certainly was basically a newly built in the year of exactly 2008 steam-driven railway tender locomotive! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that I personally saw another fine video showing Tornado in action as the newly built L N E R class A1 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive tried really hard to reach a certain 100 MPH top speed on an official nighttime run on the return trip York where along the way, they've certainly had absolutely no choice except to slow down several times UNTIL they've EVENTUALLY FINALLY reach 100 MPH top speed on the final stretch of the return trip to York where the National Railway Museum is basically located!
A perfect reenactment of the Flying Scotsman!😆
Whoever thought up the idea of building a NEW Pacific steam locomotive and taking it out at 100+ miles an hour on the mainline should be given a medal. Awesome⭐
Oh yes! With the doppler effect as well!
When Thomas broke his brakes.
Hey babe, I’m driving my locomotive
-my parents aren’t home
Great location for the effect! I first thought it would be one of those close-call videos. Well Done.
I've never in 60 years been patriotic in any way, but on watching a Spitfire a few years ago. I must admit to having felt an amazing sensation of what can only be described as, I suppose "national pride" This shot of this Loco & that sound have just done it again!
That’s some impressive speed editing
Can you shut the fuck up
Nah nah, look at people move speed, nah
@_michiru_chan yes yes. Look at the speed of the tail lamp flicker. Way too fast
I have to say, train simulator would be so much better if it had the massive steam clouds.
The Tornado is my all time favourite steam train. The Express Blue livery is so smart
Very clever but also very interesting and appetite whetting too!! Thanks, Ken
Spot on! If only the railway as a whole was this good!
"Express Coming Through!!"
THAT'S a Mainline Express Locomotive!
Very impressive, no diesel loco on tail too. Geat confidence! Well done all involved. More please.
What a unique video! Well done!
Great vid mate, thanks! 60 / 75 mph - what ever. Fast enough and bloody impressive!
Does make me wonder where steam locos would be at if they'd had another 30 years or so of development. Never mind ;)
In South Africa some of the NBL class 25NC's were experimented with in their final years. They evolved with better breathing and fueling and with less regulation to stifle their efforts, were used with mechanical stokers.
In Barry Island, exactly as they were. It finished for the perfectly good reason that it had no practical development left and no one wanted to kill themselves tending to it, with efficiencies of 12% at best. Much though I love steam, it's dreamworld!
Check out the (now cancelled) Class 5 AT project.
@@bobcornford3637
That 12 percent you mention, who or what produced that percentage?
Do some digging.
@@bobcornford3637 They are (were) an example of brilliant engineering. Having to carry all of that coal or oil and water meant that steam traction is very heavy and not efficient. Internal combustion it is, then.
That's the fastest I've ever seen any steam locomotive go
The gresley a4s can even beat him
What a beautiful whistle
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
And she's only gone and done it for real!
Smith Movies Hi! I love your Lego trains!
she did, just this is the wrong video if you are after the authentic 100mph
I'd come to Britain just to ride it!
Sonny Dean :. Google A1 Steam Locomotive Trust (the builders and owners) and you'll get all the information you want and a lot more. Best wishes from a Trust Covenanter (member) m222rjr@gmail.com
No it hasnt.
No it hasn`t it was a test....they`re riasng the speed at which it carries passengers at from 75 mph to 90 mph...
Go play with your Lego.
who? id love to play with lego...
what a fantastic scene loved it.
Wondering how it felt to ride Henry Flagler’s ORANGE BLOSSOM EXPRESS from New York to Key West, load on a train barge, pulled by a tug to Cuba and ride around Cuba in 1915? GlennFHoward Florida
Its been sped up look at the people moving unusually fast! Change video speed to 0.75x its more realistic
hArDsTyLe2259 Love steam trains but agree i noticed it and thought i was seeing things. Its still flying at 0.75 speed so why speed it up
It's amazing to see what Britain hoped to erase is still here. It makes me sad that some trains didn't make it but beasts like these always survive.
I believe this is the one they build from scratch brand new from the old blue prints.
2 things : 1. This was built from 1994-2008 so not a survivor
2. They didn't hope to erase them, like some maniacal super villian who's parents were killed by Thomas the tank engine. It was just the logical, economic, health conscious, environmentally conscious and the cheaper maintenance meant that steam was no longer the best option.
Nice video by the way you have to make sure that your edited video has been really clear and smooth 👍
Dramatic situation right here!! I LIKE IT!!!
[Back to the Future theme]
It's 2019 and a 100 year old train going 100 mph is still impressive
Keep on chuggin
60163 was completed in 2008 so is only 11 years old. The actual speed of the train would have been no more than 75mph MAX. when filmed.
Superb!! That's some serious speed!
Speed limit through Abergavenny is 70 miles per hour , not 100 !
"Henry was so happy to pull the express for the first time, but he forgot to apply the brakes in the station, and he got to 100mph, and derailed in the next curve!"
(I hope the last one didn't happened really)
She runs into a bend on exit of the station, at her weight to power ratio if she were doing 100mph she would be off into a hedge. 40 to 70mph is more likely. And frankly more in keeping with the sorry state of the UK rail network.
Privatization, what a success...
Ah, yes, an issue with the railway hasn't been resolved in the last 20 years, so that means we should go back to a system which solved nothing for 50 years, not to mention the disruption caused, that said privatisation with operators owning no trains, no track no nothing really was a bad idea, and used only for the benefit of the politics of the day,
Let's face it for around 60 years Railways in this country have been a mess
ArmyOfAll clearly you don't remember the dark days of the 1980's, train travel was abysmal, passenger numbers were falling, the food was even worse than it is now, the stations grimy and neglected. I used to regularly travel from Yorkshire to Devon and dreaded the journey, huge delays were commonplace and I recall being sat broken down on a dark and unheated train for several hours on more than one occasion. Privatisation hasn't solved all the issues- I now commute by southern into London daily so am well aware of the issues- but on the whole trains are much better than at any time in the last fifty years.
Astonishing! And clever. Well done.
Man, that thing was booking! That was really impressive!
It was booking thanks to some speed editing sadly :/
Nice edit. If you wan't to see it do 200mph. Change the speed to 1.5, located in the settings below.
Marsh Steam Videos™ you catch it
if this is 100mph... wouldn't you need to do x2 for 200.............?
Marsh Steam Videos™ hahahaha
Its not edited. The train is made in Brittan so the whistle sounds really high.
Turb0 Punda its edited. Look at those peoples that moves around station
Where are you now Doctor Beeching?
Tg I WAS GOIN SAY THAT!
Not Beeching's fault altogether. Blame Ernest Marples, an out and out pillock of a man. Look him up and you'll know everything about the Beeching Axe...
What a beautiful thing to behold!
Que lindo debe ser viajar en una máquina de esas y a esa velocidad..How nice it must be to travel in one of those machines and at that speed
Sped up footage but interesting!
She did 101.6 mph on the 12th of may 2017
WOO! I am a fan of American trains, but I do find European Steam interesting. Like the Mallard or Flying Scotsman
There's something insanely satisfying about seeing a beautiful piece of vintage machinery go whizzing past you at a rate of speed so fast all you see is the front and rear, and nothing in-between.
Something satisfying about the screech of the whisky when they go past at speed.
When nuclear EMPs will light up skies over Western World we all get back to good ol' steam rails
not doing 100 mph there ! Not with semaphores ! wouldn`t have a safe stopping distance !
Semaphore signalling has the same braking distances from cautionary aspect to stop aspect, as does multiple aspect colour light signalling, the latter being born from the former, it’s the headway between trains that is longer, with longer block sections, and that is capacity not safety
Bloody hell fire man that's awesome fantastic video 😁😁
She's closing on us so fast she "green-shifted'.....you know, Doppler Effect and all that 😚
Thats about 60mph
+Ross Adams it looks like about 60mph because no train is allowed to speed through stations at 100mph
+Jamie Swinburn I know!
No where near 60mph! Trains at my local station go 60mph and that's no match for this. It's easily doing 80-100mph
don't kid your self these engine were fast
How the hell does a huge pile of, essentially scrap, and some hot water, look so amazing and move like that!
What a epic sight! This is why I like watching railtours rather than ride them. Unless I get a footplate opportunity 😜
The fastest steam train I ever was an unrebuilt Patriot on an express train in 1960 flying through Walkden high level station. The station master came out of his office and shouted to everybody to get away from the platform edge just before it arrived. That was doing at least 100.
I fail to see the fascination with speeding up vids, so we can pretend they're doing some silly speed. Why not 200 mph? Mach 1?
What a classy beast
The wind that was produced was probably amazing.
Thank you. The action started right at the beginning, not 2 thirds of the way through. Others please take note.
she did go 100 mph over a month ago
Amazing and lovely!!!!
Beautiful!
Tornado is my favorite steam locomotive!
The magnificence of a beautiful professional smoke
Is Tornado going to be the first steam engine to do everything now. It's the first engine built since Evening star and now the first to do 100mph since the 1960s.
damn that whistle gives me the chills
I see Gordon behind that new paint!
With a title like that I was expecting an EF4 sweeping across Kansas!
Brilliant fanstastic wonderful my god i cant see for tears.
Man, what a beast!
Impressive how quick the people move too.
That's how fast some Tornadoes can move, LITERALLY!
.75X is like the real normal speed.
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. I wish you every day of your development. Have a happy day!
Legit was having doubts if the video was sped up until the camera zoomed out
brilliant! instant fav! ;-)
0:15 “Steam Trains at Speed Clip 302” LOL
Nice bit of fun
That's why it's known as The Last Peppercorn. Though it's not part of the original 49
Outstanding!!👌👌
Well it did reach 100. It just had to wait about 5 years after this video to do it.
What I wouldn't give to have been standing at that platform. God bless steam!
Video is sped up... it would never actually run through a station at this speed. It did maintain 100mph for 48 seconds in trial though!
Wao that's really fast
As fast as the current standard trains
My god the thrill the Engine Driver would be having
